Her Unexpected Love

Chapter Eight

Hinatid na siya ni Reus pagkatapos nilang kumain. Hawak kamay siya nitong hinatid hanggang sa pintuan.

"Good night my Coffee." Sabi nito pero di pa rin binibitawan ang kanyang mga kamay.

"Good night Reus." Binawi niya ang mga kamay, tumingkayad at hinalikan  ito sa pisngi at akmang tatalikod na ng pinigilan siya sa braso.

"Wait, Coffee. Let me give you a proper good night kiss Babe." At hinaplos ang kanyang pisngi, at dahan dahang inaabot ang kanyang mga labi hanggang sa naramdaman niyang magkalapat na ito.

He kissed her slowly and sweetly, and urging her to open hers to welcome his kiss and she did so kahit hindi niya alam.

She responded with equal sweetness as he guided her hanggang sa pinutol nito bigla ang halik.

"Good night my baby. Pasok ka na." Na halatang nagpipigil.  Hinintay siya nitong makapasok sa bahay bago umalis.

Kinapa ni Coffee ang kanyang dibdib and smiled sweetly.

"I've fallin for him. May boyfriend na'ko at isang Reus pa. Oh my gosh!" Kinikilig na tili niya.

Nagising si Coffee sa tunog ng kanyang cellphone. She checked the clock above the bedside table and it read 6:00 in the morning. Sino ba tong napaka-aga niyang caller?

"Hello?" Sagot niya in a sleepy voice.

"Good morning my sweetest." Sagot ng kabilang linya.

"Good morning love. Napatawag ka?" She was surprised of her own endearment for him. Napabangon agad siya sa hinihigaan upang pagtuunan ng pansin ang tawag nito.

"Did I wake you up?"

"It's fine. Mabuti nga yun dahil may trabaho pa tayo ngayon."

"Hmm. Can you open your door for me? I brought breakfast."

"Nandito ka? Oh my gosh! Wait lang okay?" Gulat na sabi niya at nagmadaling kumilos. Naghilamos muna siya ng mukha, nagtoothbrush, nagpabango at nagsuklay bago bumaba at pagbuksan ito.

"Good morning Babe." Anito at hinalikan siya sa pisngi.

"What are you doing here this early?" Sabi niya rito habang sumusunod sa kusina.

"Well, it's officially our first day as a couple and so I decided to take a day off and spend the day together with you." Sabay kindat sa kanya.

"What about work? Magagalit si Engr. Vasquez pagdi-ako pumasok ngayon." Sagot niya rito.

"Oh. I almost forgot. Wait, I'll call him up."

"Good morning Bea. Please cancel today's appointment. I have something important to do. Re-schedule the meeting with Mr. Olino next week and just chill out today, okay?" At tinawagan naman nito si Engr. Vasquez para ipaalam siya.

"It's all set Babe. We'll have the day all by ourselves. Where do you want to go?"

Inabot niya muna ang dala nitong kape bago sumagot. "I don't know. Binigla mo'ko eh. Surprise me na lang kung saan. Wala namang kaso sa'kin kung saan basta magkasama tayo." Sabi niyang nakangiti.

"Uyy ang mahal ko nagiging sweet na. Ang bilis ko talagang maka-inpluwensya." Asar nito sa kanya.

"Ha-ha! Matagal nakong sweet no. Hindi mo lang nahalata agad. Kumain na nga tayo kung anu-ano pa sinasabi mo."

"Okay" he said grinning at kumain na sila pareho.

Reus waited for him as she prepares. Naligo siya ng mabilisan at nagsuot lang ng casual na damit dahil ganun din naman yung get-up ni Reus.

She chose to wear her skinny faded blue jeans matched with a pink blouse and wore a converse shoes at bumaba na para sa kanilang lakad.

To her surprise dinala siya ni Reus sa Tagaytay. Pumunta sila sa dinadayong coffee shop doon na tanaw ang Taal Lake. Reus definitely have a soft heart, ang hilig nito sa tahimik at di mataong lugar, contrary to what she have believed at first. Akala kasi niya party boy ito at playboy.

"Are you happy?" Tanong nito sa kanya.

"Of course I am. Thank you for bringing me here. Actually, di ko ini-expect na dadalhin mo ako rito. You don't look like a sensitive soul to me. You're more like a party/ happy-to-go-lucky kind of guy." Sabi niya rito.

"Believe me Babe, you'll be more surprised with your little discoveries. I am more than what you've heard and seen at magiging patay na patay ka sa'kin. Hahaha!" Sagot nito sa kanya.

"Patay na patay pala ha!" At pinisil niya ang magkabilang pisngi nito.

Nagkulitan pa sila at nagkwentuhan. It amazes her how easily she felt comfortable around him. Sumiksik siya palapit dito, sumandal sa balikat nito habang magkahawak-kamay.

"I feel sleepy. Can I sleep for awhile? Hmm"

"Sure my sweetest." Sabi nito at hinagkan ang tuktok ng kanyang ulo at humilig din sa kanya.

She dozed off to sleep and she wished they would be like that forever. Happy, contented and with Reus all the days of her life. This is a dream come true to her at wala na siyang mahihiling pa.
