The boy is mine

It was three o'clock in the morning when I woke up feeling hungry.

Bumangon ako, tumihaya naman si Daxiel na katabi ko sa pagtulog. His eyes were open, it seemed like he was waiting for me to wake up. Naupo naman siya sa kama.

"Hm, craving for something?"

Tumango ako bilang sagot.

He got up of the bed really fast. Kinuha niya ang roba at pinasuot iyon sa akin.

Nakagawian ko nang gumising sa madaling araw para kumain. Madalas ko ring gisingin si Daxiel para ipagluto ako ng pagkain o kaya naman ibili ako ng gusto ko sa madaling araw.

Sometimes, I tried to sneak quietly not to wake him up. But he would always catch me in the act. Kapag nagising ako ay nagigising din siya para pagsilbihan ako sa mga gusto ko.

Malaki na ang baby bump ko sa dalawang ipinagbubuntis ko...

I was getting big as well.

Minsan naiiyak na lang ako dahil pakiramdam ko maraming nagbago sa aking katawan at hindi na ako ganoon kaganda. The pregnancy was humbling me. Daxiel kept reassuring me I am beautiful and the changes in my body are as beautiful as it was.

"What do you want to eat, baby?"

"Adobo..." I trailed off. "With abs."

Pinaupo naman niya ako sa isang stool chair na hindi kataasan. Bahagyang kumunot ang kanyang noo at tumawa.

"With abs?" pag-uulit niya.

"I want to see you cooking with abs."

"Is that our babies' request or just mommy's request?" He teased.

Ngumuso naman ako. "Hindi mo na ba ako mahal?"

Mas lalo siyang ngumisi at hinubad ang suot niyang shirt. He wasn't really wearing a shirt when he was sleeping, but he wore as we left the room. Baka lamigin siya ng bahagya.

Lumuhod naman siya upang haplusin ang parang bola kong tiyan. He gave kisses on my tummy.

"Hindi ka ba lalamigin?" I pouted.

Dinampian niya ng halik ang nakanguso kong labi. He shook his head and went to the fridge to look for the ingredients of my food request. Pinanood ko lang siyang gumalaw sa kusina.

Sa abs pa lang niya at seryosong ekspresyon niya habang nagluluto, busog na ako.

I loved how serious he was with the task at hand.

How lucky I am that the boy is mine. Scratch that, the man is mine.

Mas lalo siyang pumogi sa paningin ko. Attentive na asawa ang datingan niya. Hindi pa naman kami mag-asawang dalawa, roommates pa lang kami na mayroong padating na blessings.

Humagikhik ako kaya napatingin siya sa akin.

"Hm?" His brow rose.

I bit my lower lip to suppress my giggles and shook my head slightly.

"Don't be conscious, I love watching you cook for me." I said with a smile.

Pinag-aralan niya ang pagluluto noong mga panahong magkahiwalay kaming dalawa at nanatili siya sa penthouse. Simula nang magkaroon kami ng relasyon, he's been consistent with his efforts.

Mas lalo akong nabusog sa aroma ng adobo. Pinaghain niya ako nang matapos siyang magluto.

"I'm already full..."
