Under her.. spell.
Music starts here.
Don't Give Up On Me by Andy Grammer
Things can be complicated sometimes. Fate can play with you anytime. Life will never be fair. But, these are the situations that mold us to become better.
Faith. Trust. Courage. Love.
Iyan ang mga bagay na natutunan ko sa Ateneo. Ang mga salita na bumuo sa akin.. nagpatatag sa akin.
Faith. Never Nya akong binigo sa kahit ano when I decided to let Him decide everything for me.
Trust. I have trusted the process that I needed to undergo.. I have waited for the right time and right place. I trusted my love for her.
Courage. The strength I put in myself to take the risk I needed to take. Wala akong mapapala kung hindi ako gagalaw. Wala akong mapapala kung hindi ko tutulungan ang sarili ko.
Love. I decided to fall in love,stay in love.. which lead me here. Love decides everything, well, at least for me.
After that fight we had a while ago, nagdecide kami to take a shower together.
"It feels good. Brushing off the bad vibes we had a while ago together." pikit nyang sabi habang pinipirmi nya ang sarili sa tub. Inayos ko ang pagkakayakap ko sa kanya habang nasa pagitan ko sya, then I kissed her shoulder.
"Hmm." malambing nyang pag-ungol when I kissed her shoulder a few more.
"I like it when you do that." she told me.
I laughed a little. "Bakit?"
Umiling ito at saka hinawakan ang mga braso kong nakayakap sa kanya. She let me hugged her tight.
"I think it's sexy. I find it hot, Bea, everytime you do that." she whispered.
Tinigil ko ang paghalik-halik sa kanyang balikat. How about taste her neck? I mean.. kiss her neck? Will she also find it sexy and hot?
So I did. She even tilted her head a bit to give more space. I planted small kisses on her neck then to her nape.
"Hmm.. Bea."
Mas lalo yatang uminit? We've done this too many times before but.. everytime we do it feels like always the first time.
We ended up cuddling in a warm tub. I stopped myself from kissing her before something can happen. I just want her to rest for tonight since I know.. what happened earlier was very exhausting. The fight.
I was playing one of my vinyl records while turning off my laptop. I was waiting for Jamie who's still inside the bathroom. Probably putting her clothes already. Sa aming dalawa, siya kasi yung pinakamatagal maligo at magbihis.
I rested my back on the headboard tapos lumabas na ng banyo si Jamie. Kumunot ang noo ko when she's still on her robe.
"You're so matagal maligo. And.. why are you still on your robe though?" reklamo ko.
She did not answered me. She went near the door and turned off the lights. Oh..kay?
But she turned on the dim lights beside her study table. After that, naglakad na sya papunta sa akin.
"Love, you should put on your clothes first before turning off the lights, you know?"
Naka-ilang lunok muna ako bago ko hinila sa tabi ko ang tahimik lang na asawa ko.
Wait.. that sounds right. Asawa ko. Nah! Sounds corny pala pag tagalog? But.. I kinda like it though.. It's very bagay sa pangalan next to Ysabel Jamie Jimenez-De Leon, asawa ko. Then I guess my face turned red? I can feel it, eh.
"Bakit pa? Tatanggalin rin naman." mahinang sagot nya sa akin while hugging me.
Napa-iling na lang ako. She's clingy tonight, huh? Like what happened in Japan. Hindi nga lang nya ako pinasabay maligo but.. nangyari naman ang dapat na mangyari. Wife duties.
While reminiscing that night, Jamie just went above me. Halos matawa ako sa pagkagulat ko. I don't know but.. I kinda like her aggressiveness tonight. Kahit hindi ako sanay.
"Love.. I want you to rest. I don't want you being tired tonight after the stress I gave you from our fight.." nahihirapan kong pagtanggi sa kanya.
I held her face and then I clipped those hairstrand at the back of her ears that covering her face and cheek.
Wala akong narinig mula sa kanya but she leaned on me and gave me a kiss. I kissed her back.. with the same intensity she's giving me with her kisses. Then I felt something strange, it sent me shivers.. I held her waist to pin her more above me.
We both gasped for air when our lips parted. Ipinagdikit naman nya ang aming noo at doon ko naramdaman ang mga luha na pumapatak galing sa mga mata nya. Nag-aalala ako pero ang ginawa ko lang ay ang hayaan syang umiyak. I know she needs it.
"I will only give my self to you, Bea. I have never gave myself to anyone until God gave me you. Ikaw ang una at magiging huli, Beatriz. Believe me.."
Halos mapapikit ako sa sinabing iyon ni Jamie. Tumango ako at niyakap sya. Ito yung consequence ng nangyari kanina.. sa mga nasabi ko.. It will stay in her mind na minsan, pinagdudahan ko sya. And I hate it.
"I'm sorry, tangi.. Please forget about it. I know.. I know that.." pagpapatahan ko sa kanya.
"Alam mo naman kung gaano kita kamahal, Bea, 'di ba?"
"Of course! Sobrang mahal mo ako! Sobra pa sa sobra, tangi.."
Habang nasa ganoong posisyon pa rin kami.. Nagulat na lang ako nang unti-unti ay tinanggal na nya ang robe na naka-suot sa kanya.
"Jamie." pagtawag ko sa pangalan nya sabay iwas ng tingin sa katawan nya.
Naramdaman ko na ang paglakas na naman ng tibok ng puso ko at maging ang paghinga ko ay naging mabibigat na.
Beatriz, kontrolin na muna natin 'to. Kahit chance na naman natin tonight, we need to let her rest muna.
I know.. bumabagabag pa rin sa loob nya ang naging away namin kanina kahit pinapakita nya sa akin na okay lang. Alam kong hindi.. But she's a strong woman. Very brave and strong.
"I want you to feel my love for you tonight, Beatriz."
Inayos ko ang kanyang roba.. And I held her both shoulders.
"I feel your love for me every millisecond, love. I do.." masuyo kong pagkumbinsi sa kanya.
While I was holding her both shoulders.. I felt her warm hand held my face. Halos mapapikit ako sa ginawa nya and I tilted a bit para madama ko lalo ang paghawak nya.
"I want to make you happy.. always, Bea. For you not to give up on me." nahihirapan nyang sabi sa akin.
Tinitigan ko sya. After our fight, kahit ganoon ang nangyari.. Siya pa rin yung nangungumbinsi sa akin na huwag ko syang susukuan? Na dapat ako ang gumagawa at nagmamakaawa sa kanya.
"Love.. I will never give up on you. I will never do that. Even if it's gonna be me against all odds. I will not let myself give up on you. Because I love you. I love loving you."
Mahal na mahal ako ni Jamie.. And just by thinking how much my wife loves me? Ang saya lang sa puso, na sa sobrang saya parang ang sakit-sakit.
I was in between her legs since she's sitting above me. I held her back bago umayos ng pagkakasandal sa headboard. Then I pulled her closer to me so I could kiss her.
While our both tongues were battling, my hands automatically roamed her legs that made her moan.
"Bei.." halos namamaos na nyang bulong.
Sht! How can I make her rest when she's all prepared to make landi to me?! How?! Just fvcking how?
A few seconds later.. She's under me now. She's watching me getting undressed. I stopped after I put off my T-shirt.
"Enjoying what you see, Jamie?"
Para syang batang ngumiti at tumango ng dalawang beses. Kaya napatawa na lamang ako.. Hanggang sa humawak na ito sa tummy ko.
"You are so hot, Bei. My wife is so damn hot.." she whispered but enough for me to hear her naman.
But I also find her hot though? So damn beautiful and sexy.
The last thing I knew, I'm totally naked. We're both naked. I started worshipping her beautiful face by kissing her down to her neck.. Until my hands found her bosom.
As I was enjoying the latter part.. She guided me to kiss her.. very aggressively. I wanted to protest until I heard her moan passionately, calling my name.. again.
"Hmm.. Bei.."
There's no way I will stop! I badly want to make her happy. To take all the things that's bugging her head. I want her to feel at ease. With me. With just me and her.
As I was tasting her. My eyes pinned to see her face. Her eyes closed, biting her lower lip, breathing heavily, gripping my hair like drowning me.. My Jamie's giving a heart attack because of the view she's letting me see.
She let her legs parted more.. As I taste her more. I want more..
"Uhh! Bea!" another screaming she couldn't handle.
I slid my two fingers inside her.. And it gave her endless of crying and moaning. I did it slowly until her body lifted up a bit from the bed.. meaning she's already there. From slow pace, I made it faster..
"Oh, Bea.." she called out my name like she's in the verge of crying.
But that didn't stop me.
While she's tilting her head side by side.. I stopped what I was doing, I quickly changed my mind. I slid out my fingers on her and let my tongue enjoy the way my wife tastes.
Gripping my hair, she pushed me more while I was still busy letting her come..
"Sht!"
One last moan of my name from her.. Her body relaxed but still shaking. Her grip on my hair loosen. I smirked. She already came.
I kissed her there once more before crawling up beside her. Her eyes remain closed. But still I hugged her. Kissing her forehead.
"I love you, Jamie.."
"Mas mahal kita.. Beatriz." walang lakas nyang sagot sa akin.
I don't want to argue with it.. kung sino ang mas nagmamahal sa amin. As long as I know she loves me as much as I love her.. Kuntento na ako.
We cuddle a bit more before I stood up and went to find wet wipes. Time to clean the mess that Jamie planned.
Umiiling ako habang nakangiti at habang nililinisan ko sya.
I will always be a marupok when it comes to my wife. I'm totally under her spell.
We ended up sleeping naked together for the first time. Yes. This' gonna be the first time we're sleeping naked together. Usually, after making love, she would always want us to dressed up after. The very shy Jamie.
We were having a breakfast when Jamie's phone rang. I answered it.. Jema's FaceTime-ing us.
"You got the tix, Bei?"
Nilingon ko naman ang paparating na si Jamie. She sat on my lap.
"Hi, Jema! What's up?"
Nanahimik na lang ako. Jema, Maddie, Jho and Jamie became a squad. I really don't know how that happened. It just happened. Though minsan na lang bumisita at magpakita si Jho because she's busy preparing their wedding and also Maddie. Kaya recently si Jema nakakasama nya.. of course with Deanna.
Don't get the wrong idea. We're all okay now. Kasal naman na kami ni Jamie. And I can see naman that Deanna and Jema are back at it again. And this time I know they're doing their best to make their love grow even more. Jamie and I are both happy for them.
"Tinatanong ko si Bea kung nakuha na ba nya yung ticket na pinadala ko sa inyo kahapon?"
"Ah.. Iyon ba? Oo. Ako naka-receive sa office kahapon, mareng Jema." tapos tumawa pa ito.
"Ikaw talaga, Ysabel!" tumatawa rin sa screen si Jema then the face of Deanna appeared.
"Hey, lovebirds.." bati nya.
Binati rin naman namin sya pero pinapaalis kasi ni Jema si Deanna.
"No, bii. You're still not going this year. Hindi pa pwede."
Tumango naman si Jamie. "Yes, Jessica. As much as I want to go with you both sa Pride March this year, Deanna's right. Pagaling ka muna.. Maybe next year, pwede na tayo pumuntang apat! Right, tangi?" sabay lingon nya sa akin.
"Jema, tama sila. I think you should rest yourself pa. Maraming tao pupunta doon. Baka mapagod ka lang din. I'll make sure na lang that Jamie's gonna film the march so you can watch."
Bumuntong hininga lang ito tapos tumango. Even if she survived her illness.. Hindi pa naman sya 100% na nakakarecover kaya iwas muna sya sa stress at pagod for the mean time. But she's almost there.
I even heard from her na hinihintay na lang din yung lab result nya 'cause she's planning to go back playing volleyball. Well, I hope that everything's good na since I know she loves that sport. Who wouldn't, right?
"And besides, may schedule din sya ng check up that day kaya malabo rin na makakapunta." Deanna butt in.
"Oo na. I know. Deanns talaga. Okay na.. Tumawag lang ako to check if you, guys, have the tickets na. Enjoy kayo doon this weekend, ha? Sayang naman yung T-shirts namin ni Deanna." she pouted at us.
Tinawanan lang sya ng nakakaasar ni Jamie. "Wear that on your check up, mareng Jema."
"Stop! Nang-aasar ka na lang, Ysa."
The call ended pero tawa pa rin ng tawa si Jamie. Lakas mang-asar, eh.
"Sisi bought the tickets for us. Nakahanap sya.."
Last month kasi naubusan kami ng tickets for the Pride March this year. Tapos before kami mag-Japan last week tinawagan ni Sisi si Jamie na may nahanap syang available tickets. Tas si Maddie naman yung bumili ng T-shirts naming apat nila Jema.
Perks of having supportive friends, huh?
"I can't wait to go on our first Pride March together as your wife, tangi.." excited na sabi nito sa akin.
Ako rin.. I can't wait to let them all know that this Ysabel Jamie Jimenez-De Leon is mine alone. And that she's my wife.

'Yan na po. Napagbigyan ko na si @MaroStultus ! But still.. decent honeymoon thing naman! As what I've said nga.. I want this story to be my first ever matured decent story. And when I say MATURE I'm talking about life ganern, not the SPG! 🤣
Ayokong bahiran talaga ng kahit ano si Beatriz. But since this Season will occupy alot of very disappointing POV.. Pakunswelo ko na lang sainyo 'tong Chapter na 'to. Haha!
Sobrang disappointed ako kahapon dahil walang appearance sa court si Bea sa first Pro-league nya.. But I understand the coaching staff, mas mahalaga yung full recovery nya from her injury last UAAP Season 81. She's been receiving muscle therapy after the championship, so, they can't risk to let her play pa. Sana sa 2nd round ng PVL Open Conference makapaglaro na sya. 🙏🏻
Naiiyak pa rin ako sa mga mata ni Bea.. sobrang gusto nya talaga maglaro. But she was there to assist and cheer for her teammates pa rin.
