sweetheart, where's my reward?

SPECIA£ CHAPTER 2 - sweetheart, here's your reward

"Ah..." I moaned. "Cumming..."

"Me too," he whispered.

Bumilis lalo ang galaw niya hanggang sa pareho kaming labasan. He lied on my chest after and I rubbed his back contentedly.

"I have to go," I whispered to his ears, kissing his temple.

He groaned and looked up to me with a frown. "Okay."

Laughing, I poked the tip of his nose. "I'll be back tomorrow okay?"

Nakanguso pa rin siyang tumango at hinalikan ang aking labi.

"I'll see you tomorrow for your graduation, okay? I have a client din sa umaga bukas pero I'll be really there on time."

"Okay." Finally, he smiled. "You don't have to think about it too much. It's a long ceremony and I'll be called last. You won't be late."

"I hope. I really want to be the one na maglalagay sa'yo ng medal mo."

After hearing that, he hugged me tightly, kissing me again. He rested his forehead on mine and looked at me with the tip of our nose touching.

"Thank you, Lily."

I hugged him back. "I love you."

"I love you too."

I washed up and got dressed immediately. Binilisan ko lang ang aking galaw tsaka nagpaalam na muli kay Ali. Hinatid niya ako palabas ng dorm niya hanggang sa parking lot ng school para magpaalam sa akin.

"Drive safe," paalam niya at hinalikan ako sa pisngi.

"See you tomorrow," paalam ko naman.

Nagmaneho na ako nang mabilis pabalik ng shop. Nang makarating ay naabutan ko si Cresida na pinapaliwanag kay Mr. Sumimoto ang mga naka-display na manika sa loob ng shop. Nang makita ako ni Cresida na papasok ay nagliwanag ang mukha niya na parang iniligtas ko siya sa isang panganib.

"Here's Lily Jane, Mr. Sumimoto," pakilala sa akin ni Cresida nang makapasok ako.

I offered a hand to the old Japanese man. "Sorry, I was late. I did something important."

It was really important. Pinigilan ko nalang ang tawa ko sa aking naiisip.

"Its okay," sagot ng matanda sa matigas na Japanese accent tsaka tinanggap ang aking kamay.

"Do you still want to look around or do you want to talk about the dolls you'd like to be made?" magalang kong tanong.
