"Well, I find it awkward to wear it then so..."

"Tss..."

Muli niyang isiniksik ang kanyang ulo sa aking leeg at mas lalong hinigpitan ang yakap sa akin. I bit my lip when he kissed it softly. Damn, this brute! He's really testing my restraint!

"We're back together now. Wear it," he said huskily.

I sighed. "Yeah..."

Hindi ko alam kung anong oras kami nakatulog. Basta't paggising ko ay puyat na puyat ang pakiramdam ko gayong alas syete pasado na ng umaga. And it doesn't help that my body feels heavy. My thighs are aching and I am so sore down there. Malas pa at kailangan naming magtrabaho. If I could just lay down the whole day, then I would. Ayaw ko nga lang sabihin iyon kay Travis dahil baka pa kumbinsihin niya akong dito na lang kami.

Naligo ako at nagbihis ng damit na ibinigay ni Travis. He told me he just made his secretary buy it but then I wonder if he keeps women's clothes here? At kanino naman iyon kung ganoon? Ipinilig ko ang ulo ko. It's still morning, Yani, yet you're overthinking again.

Paglabas ko ng banyo ay nakita kong wala na siya sa silid. Tinungo ko ang tukador para i-check ang phone ko. Ngumiwi ako nang makitang ni wala man lang nag-text at nagtanong kung kumusta ako gayong hindi ako umuwi sa condo kagabi! Alam kasi nilang na kay Travis ako, e. Well, I guess it's better that way since...

Damn!

I shook my head then put my phone down. Lumabas na ako ng kwarto at sinundan si Travis sa kusina dahil nasabi niya kanina sa akin na magluluto siya ng breakfast.

Amoy ng kape ang umatake sa aking ilong papalapit pa lamang ako sa kusina. At nang makapasok doon ay bumungad sa akin ang malapad na likod ni Travis.

In his crisp white longsleeves folded till his elbows and a black slacks, with his hair damp, he looked so out of place there but at the same time, manly and hot, as he manipulated the stove. Humilig ako sa hamba ng pintuan at saglit na pinanood siya. I crossed my arms.

Even when fully clothed, the flexing of his back muscles every time his hands move is still noticeable. With his height, the big kitchen looked small. And his built and stance... it's everything that makes my heart go crazy. I bit my lip. Is this man really mine?

Napatuwid ako ng tayo nang sumulyap siya sa banda ko. He arched his brow.

"You done?" his voice is so damn sexy!

Tumikhim ako at nag-iwas ng tingin. "Yup," unti-unti akong lumapit sa kanya.

"This will be cooked soon. Maupo ka muna. I made you coffee,"

Ngumuso ako at natantong ako masyado akong pabisita.

"I'll set up the table," I presented.

Sinulyapan niya ako. "Sure,"

Nang matapos siyang magluto ay saktong tapos na rin ako sa pagsi setup ng table. Agad na kaming kumain.

"Saan nga pala ang meeting mo ngayon?" I asked while eating.

"In Cavite. Why?"

"Cavite!" I exclaimed and looked at the time. "Anong oras na, oh! Baka ma-late ka!"

He raised his brow like I'm saying something ridiculous. "I won't,"

I frowned. Binilisan ko na ang pagkain dahil paniguradong hindi ko talaga makukumbinsi ang isang 'to na mag-double time. He's enjoying this too well. Damn.

He chuckled while watching me. "Chill, baby. There's no need to hurry. Besides..." nagawa niya pang preskong sumandal sa kanyang silya. "We still have lots of things to talk about," he shot his brow up.
