Naked Proposal

CHAPTER 24

He don't do illegal things anyways.

He went back in the beach, naroon na siguro si Vera halos manliit ang mga mata niya ng makita si Vera at may kausap na lalake. That's not Heil or Heaven. Not obviously Pollux. Iba ang kasama at kausap nito, nanlit ang mga mata na lumapit nakita niya pa na hinahawak hawakan ng lalake ang balikat ng asawa kaya lalong kumulo ang dugo niya. Sinong asawa ang kakalma sa ganiyan?

Lumapit siya, and he heard a word. "You shouldn't be alone in a beach. Want some company?"

Lumapit siya agad at hinalikan ang asawa niya sa harap ng lalake. "Hey, love." Ngumiti siya na bumaling sa lalake na natahimik naman agad, Why is every beach have this kind of man? Lalapit sa babae kapag nakitang magisa to 'company' them like they say, but the end. Dadalhin sa kwarto. Oh, god. Old style. Old fashion way? "Oh. Sorry.. I didn't know she's married.." Ani ng lalake.

"Everybody says that, because she's looks so young and she's really young at 25 to get married but If you wil excuse me, don't put your hands on her and please. Back off to my wife, excuse us."

Nakangiti pa siya at hinila ang asawa palayo sa beach at tumuloy sa loob. "We can swim at the pool you know, love. Maraming lalake ayokong nilalandi ka ng kung sino sinong lalake."

Tumawa si Vera sakaniya. Tuwing nagseselos siya dinededma nalang siya ni Vera pakiramdam tuloy niya ay ang lungkot lungkot ng buhay niya may girlfriend siyang kampante kapag nagseselos hindi ito nagrereklano, nagre-react manlang. Siguro kampante lang talaga siya na wala naman siyang gagawin kapag nagseselos ito. Seloso siya, mahal siya at walang masama sa pagiging seloso niya.

"Why do you always calm whenever I'm jealous? That's a bit unfair for me, I reacted when you're jealous. Why when I'm jealous you're just calm?"

She pinches his cheeks. "Because I love you, you love me and I always trust you whenever happened okay. And jealous, that's fine. It proove how much you love me anyways. Right, love?"

He pounts. "Kiss me?"

Hahalik sana ito when someone just cough at parehas silang nalingon sa tatlo lalake sa harapan nila. "Oh. Nanjan pala kayo, I'm sorry." He said in his sarcasm at tumawa habang ang tatlo ay iritadong naupo sa labas. Tumingin siya kay Vera at hinalikan ito. "My jealous boyfriend, I love you so now. Stop teasing your friends."

Rifle isn't here. "Where is rifle?" Tanong ni Vera sa mga ito. Pumunta sila sa pool kung nasaan nakatambay ang tatlo nakaupo at umiinom ng kape. He never noticed that Rifle is missing in the picture. Hmm, nasaan nga ba? "Nowhere."

He's confused.

"What?" Tanong niya naman, Heil says nowhere. Sila lang naman ang magkakasama natural naman siguro na may alam sila or maybe rifle is doing something again behind their back? "Rifle is my cousin so It will be my responsibility wherever he is, so. Where is my bloody fucking cousin?"

"Chill. He's just in U.S pumunta sa parents niya." Nagtaas siya ng kilay kay Heil. What of course, Rifle never change even a bit. "As usual. Of course, ano bang bago sa tanginang lalaking 'yon? Lagi naman yung tumkatas tapos pupunta ng amerika, lalandi landi. Malandi talaga."

Napailing siya. "Makapag-salita ka naman, parang hindi ka malandi. Isa ka rin namang haliparot." Puna ni Vera sakaniya kaya natawa siya, totoo naman rin na malandi siya. "Sayo lang naman."

"Asus. Baka naman may iba ka pang nilalandi noon, meron ka pa bang ibang naging babae? Malay natin na si Migo Bourne may iba pa palang nilanding babae bukod sa akin, di'ba?"

Umiling siya agad. "Ako? May ibang nilandi, no. Wala akong ibang nais na babae kung hindi ikaw lang. they know how obsess I am with you and do you think I can flirt another woman knowing I can have you on my side? I'm a faithful man." Faithful.
