JARED'S POV
I smiled when I woke up seeing her face. Her angelic face. Ang amo ng mukha ng babaeng to, kahit tulog. Hindi ko napigilang haplusin ang mukha niya, which makes her open her eyes.
"Good morning." nakangiting bati niya sakin. She's hugging me right now, and it feels good.
I smiled back. I think waking up everyday beside her will be the best mornings of my entire life.
"Good morning, baby." and I plant a quick kiss on her lips.
Hindi lang pala masarap asarin tong lampa na to, mas masarap palang katabi to sa pagtulog.
Feeling ko napaka-peaceful ng araw ko kapag katabi ko siyang matulog.
"What time is it ?" tanong niya.
Napatingin ako sa digital clock in my bedside table.
"7 am. Bangon na tayo. Did you sleep well ?"
She nodded. "I'm hungry."
"Me too. But not for food. I'm hungry for you !" and I give her a wicked grin.
Pero tinapik niya ang noo ko. "Aww ! Ano ba !" at nasapo ko ang noo ko. Itong babae na to talaga, masyado ng maton, eh. Mahilig ng manakit.
"Naughty one ! Magluluto na ako. Do you have something in your fridge ?"
At akma na siyang aalis sa pagkakayakap sakin pero agad kong niyapos ang likod niya.
"Stay a little longer, please. Just hug me."
"Shaun ... mali-late tayo."
"No. Just stay, baby." and I kiss her hair. Ang bango pa rin kahit after sex.
And we stay like that for a moment. Just holding her, and feel how soft her skin was. Kaya naman pala sobrang naghahabol ang ex nito sa kanya. Well, wala akong masabi sa lampa na to. She's pretty, she's innocent, yet she's challenging and exciting. I think sa kanya na lang ako magi-stick para maging sex partner. Ayoko na ng iba. Kahit na sino pang mas sexy, mas malalaki ang hinaharap, mas magaling, I think, I will still go for Celine. I will still want my fiancee, and my wife-to-be. I don't want anybody else. I just want her, only her.
"Can you please watch me later ?"
Nagtaas siya ng mukha. Her lips were always tempting. Hinalikan ko ulit siya, this time, matagal na. Pero siya rin ang bumitaw.
"Saan ?"
"May practice game kami with another school. Can you ?"
Ngumiti siya and kissed my chin.
"Okay, what time ?"
"2 pm, baby."
"Okay, manonood kami ni Patrice."
Wow, napapayag ko siya agad ! Yess !
"Really ?!" at natawa pa ako.
"Shaun ... now let me go for us to have breakfast, okay ?"
"Kiss mo na muna ako." at ngumuso na ako para halikan niya, pero hinampas lang ako ng unan.
"Manigas ka no ! Tumalikod ka nga, magbibihis ako !"
"Tatalikod pa, eh nakita ko na rin naman yan !"
"Shaun ! Just do it !"
"Ayoko ! Tsaka, ito na lang t-shirt ko ang isuot mo. I think you're sexy wearing this." at iniabot ko ang tshirt ko sa kanya.
Titigan ba naman ako ? Baka hindi ako makapagpigil niyan, katabi pa naman kita at alam kong wala kang damit sa ilalim ng kumot na yan.
Finally, she smiled. At tinanggap ang tshirt saka maingat na isinuot, yung tipong, wala talaga akong makikita.
Hanggang kelan kaya mahihiya tong babae na to ! Hmp. Sayang, hindi pa nakaboso.
"Did you, did you always offer your tshirt to your, other girls ?"
I look at her. "No. Only to you."
Then I saw her blushing.
"O-Okay ... Magluluto na muna ako, ha." And she finally get out of my bed. Good idea dahil baka may magawa pa ako na ikakatagal naming dalawa.

CELINE'S POV
Hindi ko mapaniwalaan na nandito ako sa condo ni Shaun, did have sex with him, and now I'm cooking for our breakfast. Bacon, sunny side up, fried rice and fruits. Mabuti naman at may laman ang ref niya. Usually kasi sa mga lalaking tulad niya, walang pakialam yun sa paggo-grocerry, eh. Mabuti naman at marunong. I smiled when I think of him as a husband material.
I imagine Shaun as a husband. Aalagaan kaya niya ako, aalalahanin, pagsisilbihan at ituturing na asawa niya ? Di ba ganon yung mag-asawa ? O sa kama lang ? Naalala ko rin bigla yung kondisyon niya sakin. Oo nga pala, gusto niya lang akong maging sex partner, and I should never fall for him. Again, there's this disappointment I feel while thinking about it.
H-Hindi naman ako maiinlab sa kanya, no ! I'm just returning the favor to him for agreeing for this marriage. Isa pa, 3 months lang naman kaming magsasama, pagkatapos nun, wala na. Pero, ano naman kayang gagawin ko after 3 months ? Ngayong wala na si James ? Wala na akong babalikan gaya ng nauna kong plano ?
Pero naputol ang pag-iisip ko ng makita ko si Shaun sa harapan ko, wearing only a white pants, with his six pack abs infront of me. Wow. This is jaw dropping. No doubt kung bakit ang daming naghahangad ng abs niya, they were perfect, as if hinulma talaga para sa katawan niya.
Ang masasabi ko lang, ang sexy niya. Sobrang sexy niya.
"Baby, yung laway mo, baka tumutulo."
"H-Ha ?" at bigla naman akong na-conscious ng sabihin niya yun kaya agad kong binawi ang tingin ko.
Natawa siya pero pumunta siya sa likuran ko para yakapin niya ako mula sa likod.
"Titig na titig ka kasi sakin, eh. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung naseseksihan ka sakin o gusto mong ulitin yung ginawa natin kagabi ? Which one ?" at humalik pa sa leeg ko.
Wooooo ! Ang init na agad. Alam na alam talaga ng lalaking to, o.
"Shaun, nagluluto ako, ano ka ba. Dun ka na nga." at pilit ko na siyang pinapaalis pero lalong humigpit. Ano ba naman tong unggoy na to, makayakap naman o ! Nasasarapan ?
"Ayoko ..."
"Nahihirapan kaya akong maghiwa."
"... Oh eh di ganito na lang." saka binaba yung braso niya sa balakang ko. Doon ako napapitlag.
"Nahihirapan ka pa ba ?"
"H-ha ?" ewan ko ba, kahit twice na naming nagagawa to, nahihiya pa rin ako. I didn't expect that we will do this, to this extent. Thinking it was Shaun.
"Baby, focus." at hinalikan na naman ako sa pisngi. At bigla na naman siyang naging sweet.
"Hindi na."
"Bakit, mas masarap bang yumakap yung ex mo kesa sakin ?"
"Shaun naman !"
"Just answer me, baby."
"I-I don't know." Hindi ko talaga alam eh. Pero yung halik, it's really different from James. It's more hot than James. It's more passionate, it's more inviting. It's so irrisistable.
"Then sort it out, baby." saka humigpit yung yakap niya.
Pati ba naman yun ? Ang daming kalokohan nitong lalaking to, eh.
"Malapit na to."
"Ang hilig mo talagang mag-change topic, no ?" Ay, nahalata niya yun ? I smiled secretly.
Pero masaya ako, masaya ako habang yakap ni Shaun.

JARED'S POV
Wow, akalain mo yun, pinagluto niya ako ? Aaminin ko, masarap sa pakiramdam. Other girls also did this for me before but, she was ... again, exceptional. Asawang-asawa ang dating ni Celine sakin. Tahimik kaming kumakain, suot niya pa rin ang tshirt ko. Napangiti ako nung maisip kong, ang sexy niya sa suot niya.
I'm not joking when I said that she's the only one allowed to wear my tshirts. Sensitive kasi ako sa mga damit ko, ayokong may nagsusuot na iba. Pero sa kanya, okay lang. Basta siya lang, wala ng iba.
I don't know but I'm finding it strange when it comes to Celine. Maybe I just find her more challenging than others. Inosente kasi. Kailangan mo pang turuan. Pero natuwa ako nung willing naman siyang matuto. She responds well.
Lihim ko siyang napagmasdan. Ganito ba siya mag-alaga kapag mag-asawa na kami ? I smiled. Sana hindi magbago. Sana ganito pa rin siya mag-asikaso.
Pero hindi niya pa rin sinasagot ang tanong ko kanina. Kung sino ang mas masarap yumakap sa amin ng ex niya ? Hindi ko rin kasi alam kung bakit gustong-gusto kong malaman yung sagot.
*ring*
*ring*
*ring*
*ring*
Nagkatinginan kaming dalawa.
"Phone ko." sabi niya.
Sino naman kaya ang tatawag ng ganito kaaga ? Napatingin ako sa wall clock. 8 am pa lang, ah. Admirer ba niya ? Tumayo ako para kunin yung phone niya sa bedside table.
"Ako na."
Dapat malaman na ng kung sino mang istorbo na to na sakin na si Celine. At hindi na siya makukuha pa ng iba. Tss.
Ang aga-aga eh !
I saw the caller the ID.
*mommy*
I bite my lip. Hala, si tita Jane pala. Napag-isipan ko pang istorbo.
I grinned.
"Sorry."
"Shaun, sino yan ?"
Nalingon ko si Celine at bumalik sa dining area. I hand her the phone.
"Si tita Jane."
Kinuha niya ito at sinagot.
"Hello, mommy. Good morning."
She looked at me, na para bang nagulat.
"P-po ? Opo. Nandito lang po ako sa condo."
Ang aga mag-check ni tita, ha.
"Ah, yah. Actually, I'm having my breakfast now."
"Later at 7pm ? ... Sa bahay ?"
Ano'ng meron ?
"Okay mommy. I will be there." at naputol na ang tawag.
We stare at each other.
"Problem ?" I ask.
Umiling siya.
"Then what ? Ang aga namang tumawag ni tita."
"Nag-check lang sakin. She used to be like that since I started having my own condo. And, may family dinner daw mamaya sa bahay. It's about the new company that we will manage. Your parents will be there too."
I smiled.
"Let's go together."
She smiled back. At lalo talaga akong natutuwa kapag ngumingiti tong lampa na to. Lalong gumaganda eh.
"Okay."
And we resume eating until we are full.

CELINE'S POV
At last, we arrived at my condo. Pinilit ko ng umuwi para makapaghanda na rin sa pagpasok. Ayaw pa sana akong pauwiin at pinipilit pa akong magsabay daw kami sa shower. Alam ko naman ang binabalak nikya kaya ni-lock ko agad yung pinto ng CR para hindi na siya makapasok. I'm wearing one of his tshirts and his black jogging pants. Wala naman kasi akong baong damit.
At pumasok pa talaga sa loob ang loko. Naabutan namin sila Jason and Marcus na sinalubong kami at binati. Nahiya tuloy ako sa dalawa. Napatingin kasi sila samin, for sure nagtataka sila kung bakit magkasama na kami ng ganito kaaga.
Hayy, bahala na nga. Alam naman nila na mag-fiancee kami.
"Okay ka na dito ?" tanong niya nung mailapag ang bag ko sa couch.
"Yah. You can go now."
He pouted. Ang cute niya. I grinned.
"What's with the pout this time, Shaun ?" parang bata, kanina pa to.
"Aalis ako agad ? Without any kiss from you ?"
Tss. Grabe talaga.
"Marami ka na niyan kanina."
"Kanina pa yun. Iba na ngayon, baby. Do you know what time is it ? It's already 9 am."
"You are really too much. Just go and prepare for school."
He smirked.
"Ayaw mo ? Then, I will stay until you kiss me." at naupo na talaga sa couch.
Hayy, ito talagang lalaking to ! Sobra na !
I lowered and plant a swift kiss to his lips.
"Satisfied ?" at napataas na ang kilay ko.
"Nope ! I want a long and hard one."
Gusto kong mapanganga.
What ?!
"Shaun ?!" can't he see I'm already complaining ?!
"Then we will be late." crossing his both arms.
I sighed.
Ang kkuuuuuuulllllliiiiittt talaga !
I sit beside him, and grant his request. He grab my face and thrust his tongue to play with mine. I guess I'll never get tired of responding to his kisses, specially like this one. He's kissing me passionately, and hard. I'm breathless when he let go and saw his winning smile. Hindi ko na alam kung pang-ilang beses na akong natatalo ni Shaun sa mga ganitong bagay.
Pwede naman akong tumanggi di ba ? Pero ayaw ng katawan ko. Bakit ganon ?! Tsss.
"Bye, baby. See you later. Don't forget the game. Be there, okay ?" while carressing my face.
I smiled. I'm excited to watch him at his game. Lets see kung gaano nga kagaling ang unggoy na to sa basketball. I saw him playing when we are still young pero hindi naman seryoso. That's why I wanna know if he really is one of the best varsity players here in our country.
"I will not forget that. Sige na, para hindi malate."
He nod and finally he stand up and walk until he reach the door.
"Bye. Wag mong takasan sila Jason, ha." at kinindatan pa ako.
I laugh. And once more, he kiss me, making me close my eyes and feel his lips.
I guess, I don't have any reason anymore to escape from him.
