1+1 by Beyonce
Mika
We both decided to take a day off or curl-up-and-cuddling-with-no-ligo kinda day. My head resting on his chest, his arms encircled on me I can feel him drawing circles on my back.
"Babe, gutom ako." I told him, pagkagising palang namin ganito na itsura namin. He wouldn't wanna move so am I. Lazy day, it is.
"Akala ko busog ka na? Kanina mo pa ko pinapapak eh." He said flashing me that silly smile.
"Ang kapal, ikaw kaya yun no!" Pinalo ko pa ang dibdib niya, so conceited. Tumawa siya tapos nagnakaw nanaman ng halik sakin. Kitams?
"Ako na, ako naman lagi eh." Pagdadrama niya, sabay kaming tumayo tamad na tamad. He's only wearing his boxer shorts, shameless yan eh feeling sexy I on the other hand is, as usual, wearing his used shirt. Kiefer went straight downstairs whilst I went inside the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth.
Pagkababa ko he's wearing the couple apron a fan gave us, sobrang funny kaya ng nakaprint dun. "Anything for her." and "Anything for him food." Him was crossed out pa, that gave me good laugh talaga, sarap kayang bwisitin ni Kiefer. Sobrang haba ng nguso niya sakin habang tawa ako ng tawa nung nabuksan naming ang regalong yun. The admins of Miefer Forever held this party kasi for the fans and us to get together, me and Kiefer said yes. I mean we owe something to them kahit paano.
"Matagal pa Baby?" I sat in front watching him do the pancake mix, hinarap niya ako with wide grin.
"Sabi kasi sayo ako na lang papakin mo, ready to eat." Biro nanaman niya, I was dumbfounded once again kaya tumawa nanaman siya ng malakas. Tuwang tuwa to kapag naca-caught off guard niya ako eh.
"Nakakabwisit ka." Asik ko at binato siya ng ubas na nasa harap ko lang.
Kiefer
We've been eating non-stop this day, it's already 4 in the afternoon and here we are still. Lazily laying in front of our tv watching movies. Very good idea talaga ang suggestion ni Thirdy to put this entertainment thing on the second floor eh, he even gave us lazy boy chair and a loveseat sofabed.
"Paabot po nung cheetos please?" Mika said in a low voice, I reached for the opened chips and gave it to her.
Who wouldn't love a day like this? Laid back with the woman I chose to be with for the rest of my existence, pigging out.
"He was a douche for not grabbing the chance." She commented, her back against my chest. I stare at her so engrossed in her watching akala mo first time niyang napanood yun.
"I don't want to sound hater pero kasi sinayang niya eh, it should've been more precious memories to ponder. I mean together-together pero dahil douche nga siya he let it slip away." Yes, I married a very opinionated woman. She says whatever it is she wants to say kaya maraming naiinis sa kanya because not everyone is smart enough to understand what's running in her mind. And only few is bold to say the truth square right into your face. She's so independent in her own little way that made me love her even more.
"Tapos ngayon he'll just throw his life away." She continued while munching on her cheetos. Instead of finding her annoying I think she's just too cute. Tinignan niya ko seeking for my opinion.
"Di ba?" Mika asked. Those purdy eyes, nose and amiable lips. One word for my baby, irresistible.
"Uh huh.." I nod in agreement, and kissed her lips that are slightly open.
"Kaya ikaw sabihan-" I moved her on top of me, Mika's still talking in between our kisses as she straddles me.
"-Sabihan mo si-" "Yes, baby.." I closed our distance and continued rummaging her lips. Whenever we kiss I lost every inhibition I have, all the control.
"... as I was saying, si Thirdy-" "Oo baby, si Thirdy." I cut her and held onto her nape to draw her closer to me. Keeping her still.
"Thea is-..." Hindi pa din talaga siya susuko, ang kulit. Nilagay ko ang kamay ko sa bewang niya. I stopped and listened to her. She bit her lower lip.
"Tapusin mo na babe, si Thirdy?" Trying not to sound impatient, I stared at her waiting for her to finish her statement. She puckered her now swollen lips, oh my pride and glory... I did that.
"Galit ka na niyan?" Tapos dadaanin lang ako sa pagpapacute, lugi talaga ako lagi eh. Mika Reyes-Ravena, I shall give you The Phenom's silent treatment maturuan naman ng minsan, I grin at my naughty thoughts.
"No, but I'll let you finish. Sobrang importante ng sasabihin mo babe di ba?" I said sarcastically, lalo niyang hinabaan ang nguso niya humiga siya sa chest ko. Damn, she's making something angry right at this moment.
"I'm sorry na, kasi naman si Thirdy. He's so gulo why can't he be like you?!" She explained while running her little fingers against my chest.
"We can't dictate Thirdy what to do, he needs to learn those things. Kung kailangang madapa siya para matuto edi madapa. Pero hindi natin pwedeng pigilan siya because we can never tell, paano kung ang bagay na akala natin mabuti para sa kanya hindi pala? Atleast if he makes his own decisions, he won't have regrets." I try to humor Mika, huminga lang ako and continued talking.
"Pero I'm not saying we completely leave him alone, kapag humingi siya ng tulong ibigay natin, ibibigay ko. Kapatid ko yun, mahal ko yun. Hindi ko rin gusto kung anong nangyayari pero kasi, it's his life. Okay?" Tinignan ko si Mika after belting out that long preach.
"Ang gwapo mo lalo kapag serious ka. Kiss mo na nga ako, yung long ah? Para di ka na badtrip." She said in my favorite baby talk of her. Mika does that whenever she likes something to go her way, at syempre panalo siya parati.
"Tss.." Pakipot din minsan. She wiggled against me causing a chaos inside my body.
"Baby baby, relax lang. May nagwawala po." Agad agad ko siyang hinawakan sa bewang para tumigil sa kakagalaw. She looked puzzled.

Naiistress ako with Thirdy, the two girls are my friends nasasaktan ako because of the complications kaya gusto kong may magawa about it. Pero naintindihan ko rin na it was not the right timing, nainis tuloy si Kiefer.
Ikaw ba naman on our make out session, kulitin ko siya about talking Thirdy out of his kabaliwan eh. Let's blame this movie talaga.
I stopped moving on top of him when I felt something poking my thighs. Sht.
I bit my lower lip.
"Oops, sorry." He looked like he's being punished, my poor husband. I kissed the tip of his big nose.
"You made 'it' angry." Smirking he told me, I beet red.
"Edi..let's do something about it." I said back in a very, very low voice.
"Ano ulit babe?" Pinalo ko siya, narinig naman gusto pa ulitin. Lalo tuloy akong namula.
"Ayoko na nga." Bago ako tuluyang makaalis sa pagkakapatong ko sa kanya nahawakan niya ako sa braso.
"Not so fast Mrs. Ravena." He said in a rather seducing tone. Next thing I felt his hands in my exposed thighs, caressing it gently.
"You said it yourself, you'll do something about it.." His hands going up my belly, inside my shirt. Kiefer's skillful hands playing with my bare skin.
I closed my eyes as I saw his about to close our small distance when we were greatly disturbed by the ringing of my phone.
"Arrgh!"
Kiefer
The team decided to dine out, I called Mika kanina to not wait for me tonight because of this dinner/meeting. She visited Mama in Bulacan, namimiss niya na daw kasi si Miko at Mikole. I told her I'll pick her up later, walang dalang sasakyan yun kasi hinatid ko siya doon kaninang umaga before heading to our practice.
I was scanning my friends' activities on instagram, my friends' meaning my wife's activities when I once again bumped into this 'friend' of mine.
...... liked rravenamikaaa's photo.
And when I checked his recent likes it was half photos of what's mine. Noon pa man napapansin ko na to, I was just not giving any attention to it kasi what's mine is mine.
"Sinabihan ko na yan, matigas ang ulo." Kevin, my friend and teammate commented. Nakita niya siguro na I'm frowning and sensed that it was about my wife's one of many admirers.
"Wala namang kaso sakin to, proud pa nga ako eh." I said sounding so smug.
"Yun naman, confident." We both chuckled, Kevin tapped my shoulder.
"I got her, wala ng makakaagaw." I told him and he gave me a meaningful nod. Alam na niya yun, alam na nilang lahat.
Mika
I can't believe I'm here again, same situations just different persons.
"Sssh, stop crying Bills. Now I feel deeply sorry for pushing you to him pa." I try to comfort Billie. I handed her a box of tissue.
"I..hindi naman kita biniblame Ye. I mean-" She sniffs and give the tissue a blow. I touched her back, consoling her.
"I just can't understand. Ang gulo, dapat talaga hindi ako pumayag sa ganito eh." Lalo akong nahihirapan with the way things are going. Thirdy is a family now, Billie..well, I love this girl. Kahit may sapak sa utak to, I love her to bits.
"I shouldn't be hurting right? This was all me after all. I knew he just came from a heartache too pero pinush ko pa din. Tapos ngayon nasasaktan ako whenever they get interactions, hindi dapat di ba? I don't have any right." Billie's voice is breaking as she tear up even more.
"Sssh." I hushed her as I look for the something apt to say.
"You see it was not your fault, you both signed up for this. It's not mainly and solely yours to take. And come on Billie, natural na masaktan ka mahal mo eh. With commitment or none, tao ka. You are entitled to be hurt just like how you have to right to disengage yourself lalo na kapag hindi na healthy." I don't know where in the world I got the courage to finally tell her to give up. Their relationship is not healthy anymore, ilang taon na pero parang no growth silang dalawa.
Prolly because Thirdy is still young, not too young tho still, young.
"You think..You think I should really..give up?" I could sense she's so close to tearing up again, hindi madali. Sabi nga sa kanta, letting go is never easy.. Pero one should do it to be able to be find the real mate her soul needs.
"My opinion won't really matter because in the end it will always be your choice. To stay? Or to take risk? Sabi mo sakin noon when you found out about me and Kiefer di ba?.."
"If it's meant to be it will be. Don't let little things ruin your happiness." We said in unison, I gave her a smile before the both of us break into a giggle.
"Never gets old." I hugged her tight.
My thoughts:
Looooooooooooong over due. Some of you may know why this was late some may not but.. Basta lang. 😁😋
