Eyes don't Lie (Quadro Series #2)

Chapter 12

Dulcinea's POV

"Zac, diba may tatlo ka pang kambal?"  I asked while running my fingers through his hair. "Sino ang pinakamatalino sa inyo hanggang sa pinaka bobo?" I added.

Nakahiga kami ngayon sa kama, syempre katatapos lang naming mag labing-labing...

Hinahaplos ng likod ng daliri niya ang braso ko hanggang sa balikat.

"Basta ako sa pinakagitna. Kumbaga bebi, half-half, medyo matalino at medyo bobo." Ngiti niyang sagot. " Pinakamatalino namin... Hmnn." At talagang nag-isip pa siya. "Hindi ko naman masasabing may nakakaangat sa katalinuhan at kabobohan dahil magkakaiba naman kami ng propesyon, Yitro is in the business industry, Yvor is a lawyer. Yrjo is a soldier. Ako, medyo doctor." Tawa niya ng mahina.

My fingers go down to his Adams apple, nakakadistract kasi ang paggalaw.

"But when it comes to kapogian..." He grinned and pulled my neck to kiss my lips lightly. "Me, of course." Maangas niyang sabi, kumurba ang ngiti ko.

"Minsan talaga, mahangin ka." Pabiro kong sambit. "Pero, gwapo ka naman talaga, nakakabahala nga dahil baka agawin ka sa'kin." Napanguso ako.

Gumalaw siya at pinagpalit ang posisyon namin, ako na ngayon ang nakahilata, idinantay niya ang hita sa hita ko. Napalunok ako nang maramdaman ang kalakihan niya dahil sa ilalim ng kumot ay wala kaming ni' kahit isang saplot.

"Hindi ako magpapaagaw, I'm only yours." He said softly. I stared into his eyes.

"Hindi kita ipagpapalit, I'm yours and you're mine. Just us. Hmmn?" He added, he is showing confidence that comes out of his mouth and is conveyed by his eyes.

Walang pakundangan akong tumango.

"Zac." Malamlam kong usal saka hinaplos ang pisngi niya. "habang masaya pa tayo, pwede ko bang panghawakan ang loyalty mo? Pwede bang ako lang?" Hiling ko kahit wala naman talaga akong karapatang hilingin ang bagay na iyan.

Pinakatitigan niya ako, unti-unting sumilay sa labi niya ang pagngiti saka siya tumango. "You don't have to ask me for that thing coz' that's what I'm doing now, ang maging sayo lang..." Every words he uttered touched my heart. I knew it was true without a doubt.

"Susubukan natin, alam kong dapat nanliligaw muna bago gawin ang mga bagay-bagay-" aniya.

"Hindi mo na kailangang manligaw dahil hindi rin lang naman ako magpapatumpik-tumpik na sagutin ka kaagad." I bit my lip making me jerk, giggle, and blush.

He smiles widely, he gave me extremely chaste kisses on my cheeks, repeating his delight.

"It will work, bebi. I assure you of that." His mouth is inches away from mine, his eyes inked, clear with certainty and sincerity.

"Pano kung hindi? Magkalimutan ganun? Hahayaan mo ako tapos back to normal? Yung para bang wala lang nangyari?" Sunod-sunod kong tanong.

Kinakahaban ako, baka isagot niya "oo"... Kaya minabuti kong hayaan siyang sumagot.

"Of course, we will try again until we are both reassured. I won't let us get to the point of that, bebi. Hmm? Kaya wag kang mag ooverthink." He answered in full voice while kissing the top of my head.

I smile, my voice turning conspiring. "Hmn, sinabi mo yan ha? Pag ikaw talaga... Sinasabi ko sayo puputulan kita ng putotoy."

He giggled softly.

I bit my lip as he ran his hand down over my left breast. His gaze was burning again... Ghad! Mapapasabak na naman yata ako sa labanang ako lagi ang talo tungkol sa patibayan ng buto sa katawan, kalaban mo ba naman ang mandirigmang may matalim na sandata, siguradong talo na agad.

Syempre ipakita parin nating handang-handa tayo... Iyong sinabi kong titipirin ko siya, hindi mangyayari.

So, I skate my hands up his chest, resting both palms on his pectoral muscles, and close the tiny distance between our heated lips. With every feminine fiber I have I kiss him, tenderly, reverentially, deeply, cajoling his mouth into a gentle meeting of tongues, a kiss filled with love.
 
Sa puntong ito, hindi na ko kailangang marinig sakanya ang salitang "I love you." Sapat na sa'kin ang mapanghawakan na akin lang siya ngayon.

Yasir's POV

"Lieutenant?" Yrjo's voice.  "Yael. Can you hear me?"

"Urgh!" Yael groaned as I continued to poke and prod.

Yael is our cousin, he is uncle Yosef's son.

He was unconscious for a month.

"Captain," he slowly turn to Yrjo. "Where..." His voice was feeble. "Where is my platoon?"

"They're fine." Yrjo answered.

My brow creased for a split second. "Buddy, what's the last thing you remember?"

"Pain," he said. The memories came back, and not all of them were welcome. "My platoon was to breach a Federation space station ahead of the Marines. We had just planted the bomb and we were getting ready for extract. There was an explosion..."

"Your suit was breached by shrapnel," I said in a deep tone. "Your right arm at the shoulder was broken, your left arm at the elbow, and your right leg at the knee, was totally in shitty condition."

"According to your chart, your helmet also had a small crack in it, which led to some air loss. It was patched by one of your shooters, but not before you lost consciousness and slipped into a vacuum coma. " I totally finished my examination for him, then elevated the head of his bed.

"How long was I out?" Yael asked. He had survived four deployments, three in the special forces with only a couple of flesh wounds.

"One month," I replied gently. Once in the sitting position, "you really had us worried with the coma, Yael. We knew you didn't have any brain damage but for some reason, you didn't want to wake up."

"Oh, fuck! God is great." He said while taking a deep breath, he turn to me. "Babalik ka na ba?" He suddenly asked me.

"No." I answered.

"Besides, Yael is in the recovery stage," Yrjo's said, then turned his face towards me. "So, I need your help now."

"What help?" I straightened up and looked at him with furrowed brows.

"The General was looking for a non-entity to do some deep cover drug investigation." He said, slowly got an evil grin as he said, " I told him that you were a strange-class sharp-ass. So you're the lucky bastard who get ass-fucked by the rigid rod of reality-"

I cut him off. "Ayoko, that's your job, buddy. Wag mo na akong idamay."

"Sundalo ka parin, Yasir." Yael voice.

"No, matagal nang hindi." It's been a long time. Do I need to remind them? I guess they forgot two years ago that I was no longer in the service. "I'm a doctor now, not a soldier."

"Matagal na iyon, nagpapakain ka pa rin ba sa nangyari noon? Yasir, you need to move on, buddy." Yael's sluggish tone.

I breathed violently then I stood up.

"I need to go now." I sighed then turned to Yael, "Call me if you feel any complications." I said before turning to Yrjo.
 
"Call me too if you change your mind," he said seriously. I just nodded and stepped forward, patting his shoulder before leaving the room for good.
