Second Time Around • SB19 Ken [On-going]

CHAPTER 26

“Shower tayo?” Aya ko sa kaniya.

He raised his eyebrow and tilted his head a bit. “If you want,”

“Tara,”

Bumangon na siya at tinulungan akong bumaba sa kama. I felt a bit swollen down there and it's a bit uncomfortable to walk. Dumiretso kami sa banyo tsaka naligo.

“Ang bango,” aniya habang binabanlawan ang buhok ko. “I really like your smell.”

I smiled and giggled. I didn't feel any embarrassment while showing my naked body in front of him. Bakit pa? Eh nagkatikiman na nga kami.

After cleaning our body, we stayed for a couple of minutes under the warm shower. Nakapatong ang baba niya sa balikat ko at nakapaikot ang braso sa bewang ko. I was gently caressing his arms. We were both quiet and the only sound that is heard is the droplets of water from the shower.

“Does it hurt?” He asked.

“Ha? Alin?”

“Y-Yung… down there,”

“Ahh,” I suddenly felt a bit shy. “Not really. Just a bit uncomfortable. Perhaps because last night was just my second time.” Nahihiya kong saad.

“Hmm, sorry… I should've been more careful.” He planted a kiss on my neck.

“Ayos lang. Mawawala rin naman ‘to.” inabot ko ang pisngi niya para haplusin siya doon. “Did you know that I was a virgin when we met at the bar?” I asked.

“Nung una, hindi. Masyado akong lasing noon para maisip pa ‘yon. I just found out the next day, there was a bit of bloodstain on the bed sheet.” he answered. “Did it hurt?” Worry was evident in his voice.

“Of course, pero nung una lang. Siguro dahil na rin sa tama ng alak, hindi ko na masyadong naramdaman. I just had a hard time walking straight the next day.”

He kissed my nape again. I smiled because of that.

After our short conversation, we decided to dry our bodies with the towel. Sabay din kaming nagbihis at tinulungan pa niya akong patuyuin ang buhok ko gamit ang blower niya. After that, we decided to eat since it's almost noon. Pinainit ko nalang ang mga natirang pagkain kagabi.

When afternoon came, we were not doing anything. May inayos lang ako saglit na papel sa kwarto at paglabas ko sa sala ay naabutan ko siyang nakaupo sa sofa, nakaangat ang mga paa, at nag ce-cellphone.

At dahil L shaped ang sofa, nahiga ako sa kabilang parte mo’n at umunan sa hita niya. He kept looking at his phone but he caressed my cheek to welcome me.

“Antok ka?” He asked without looking.

“Hindi,” humarap ako sa kaniya at tinitigan siya. “Busy ka?”

“Hmm, hindi naman.” He's now caressing my hair. “Naka-chat ko kanina si ate Leah, may nag i-invite raw kasi sa ‘kin na mag gig sa bar. Sakto naman na may kanta kaming ire-release kasama yung mga ka-collab ko. So I told ate Leah to schedule the gig the same day as the song release.” He explained.

I nodded. “Hmm, that's a great idea.”

He turned off his phone and looked down at me. We were just staring at each other while he's caressing my hair. I smiled at him.

“Dito ka nga,” tukoy niya sa pwesto niya.

He took another throw pillow so I could use it. Since malapad ang sofa, nagkasya kaming dalawa doon. Nakatihaya siya habang ako ay halos nasa ibabaw na niya. I was laying my body on his chest, my right leg was in between his legs, his arms were around my back, gently stroking it. I smiled and hid my blushing face. I could hear his calm heartbeat. I just find this position really sweet.
