Nilingon ko ang wall clock, it's already 4 in the afternoon. Muli kong isinandal ang ulo ko sa sofa at marahang pumikit.
"Your head still hurts?" he asked.
Bumuntonghininga ako at tumango. "She's one tough woman."
"So are you."
Saglit kami natahimik kaya tanging tunog na lang ng air-conditioner ang naririnig ko sa paligid. I felt him sit beside me at marahan akong sinikop sa braso niya. I leaned on his chest wrapped and hugged him.
He kissed me on my head. "Why would you join KMA without knowing that much?"
Marahan akong dumilat. "Even if I try to find out more, I'll only know what you guys let me know. So, the best way to find out if your organization is good or bad is to get inside, be one of you." Sumandal ako patagilid sa sofa habang nakatingin sa kaniya. "Saira told me that you're free."
He smiled. "And all yours." Sumulyap siya sa labi ko bago tumingin sa 'kin.
I chuckled because I thought he was just teasing but he gently pulled my thighs, making me sit on top of him. My heart immediately raced as we stared at each other. Heck, I wish I could tell him how much he means to be, but no words were ever enough.
He reached for my lips as I felt his palms on my waist just under the hem of my pullover. I took it off revealing a white tank top. His eyes stared at my ample bosom and gently kissed the part that wasn't covered.
Tumingala ako nang unti-unting umakyat sa leeg ko ang halik niya. He held my nape to deepen the kiss and I gladly obliged. I moved closer and froze when I felt his harm member between my legs. Napayuko ako sa kakaibang pakiramdam pero nahuli niya ang pisngi ko at muli akong hinalikan.
He stood up and carried me on my bums, so I clung to his neck. I indulged myself in the pleasure of his tongue until he laid me on something soft. Nilingon ko ang paligid at nakitang nasa isang malaking kama na kami kaya tumanaw ako sa pader. Turns out the cabinet is a bookshelf inside and a secret door.
Tumayo siya at unti-unting isinara ang pinto. I shifted my weight on my elbows and watched him walk back to me. Nang makaluhod siya sa kama, agad niya akong sinunggaban ng halik. It's quieter here and all I can hear were the sounds of our wet kisses.
Marahan niya akong binigyan ng mababaw na halik sa pisngi. "I wish I could go rough..."
I smiled and caressed his cheek. "It's okay, I'm not a fragile glass."
He reached for my right knee to spread my legs and he positioned himself between them. I let out a soft moan when he licked my neck and sipped on my skin. He harshly unzipped his pants but undressed me slowly.
Napasinghap ako agad habang naghaharumentado ng puso ko. He slid his tongue inside my mouth as I felt him grind on me. Tila lumulutang ako habang dinadama ang bawat pagdampi ng kaniya sa balat ko. After many years, this is where we are now. All those years of patiently waiting and my effort for today was worth it.
I jolted in pleasure when I felt his fingers between my legs. We're still kissing, and I can't help but moan in his mouth. I've dreamed of this day many times before so seeing him on top of me is a whole new level of pleasure.
Nakagat ko ang ibabang labi ko nang unti-unti kong maramdaman ang pagpasok ng daliri niya. His kisses went down to my nipple and he played it with his tongue. I can't discern which sound I'm hearing, could be from his kisses or what he was doing down there.
He started moving his fingers way faster and I growled when I felt a thick liquid seep between my legs.
"Your expressions are making me go crazy," he whispered in baritone.
Unti-unting bumaba ang halik niya sa tiyan ko until I felt his tongue between my folds. Shit. I moaned louder than I ever did my whole life. His tongue felt so warm and was moving expertly.
Napaigtad ako lalo nang maramdaman ang hinalalaki niya sa sensitibong parte ng pagkababae ko. Naitukod ko ang siko ko sa kama habang dinadama ang haplos niya kasabay ng kaniyang mga halik. I tried keeping my eyes on the ceiling, but I wanted to see him as he does wonders between my legs. Nilingon ko siya and I felt like a torch was firing up my body yet again when our eyes met.
He slowly lifted his head, so I clearly saw how he licked me like he was doing a performance or something. I let out a soft moan as I bit my lips in pleasure. Tumingala ako habang dinadama ang paggalaw niya at awtomatikong napahiga nang maayos nang abutin niya ang isang dibdib ko. His fingers played with my nipples as he licked me loud enough to make a slurping sound.
I held my breath when I felt something forming in my loins again and let out a soft moan as another liquid seeped between my legs. He licked me clean and moved on top of me again. He started kissing me on my neck and I gasped when I felt his hard member between my legs. He's giving me small kisses as he slowly pushes himself inside me. We growled. Me, in pain, and he, in obvious pleasure. He didn't move, probably to let me adjust.
"How do you feel?"
Even his deep breaths turn me on. I reached his lips and kissed him as hard as I could. He growled and started moving again. The first few thrusts were painful until he got me used to it. He moved in and out of me, a little faster with every thrust. His elbow was resting beside my head, as he pressed his palm on my waist to keep me from moving too close to the bed's headboard.
"Damn..." He growled and slid his tongue inside my mouth.
He's huge, strong, and slowly getting rough so my body juggled just as fast as he moves. I haven't finished a moan as my bosoms moved violently with his fast and rough thrusts. We're moaning in unison and I gripped on the sheets when I felt another build-up in my loins.
"Shit, you're so..." His voice was shaking because he was growling when he talked. "Fuck..."
Our moans filled the room, and I held my breath as my liquid flushed out of my womanhood followed by his warm release inside me. We're breathing loud and heavy and I wish I could capture this moment. He looked at me gently and pulled the sheets to cover us.
I rested my head on his arm and hugged him. He kissed me on my head down to my ear and whispered. "I love you."
Napangiti ako at pinagmasdan siya. "I love you too. All these years."
"All these years," he echoed.
Bumigat na ang talukap ng mga mata ko kaya huminga ako nang malalim at pumikit na.
I felt a sting in my abdomen, so I opened my eyes and slowly looked around. Wala na si Gerard sa kama at nakabukas na ang pinto kaya lumingon ako sa paligid. Hindi tulad sa labas, mas maayos dito.
Kulay puti ang pader, may study table sa gilid, isa pang bookshelf, malaking cabinet at isang rack ng mga sapatos at isa pang pinto. Sa kabilang gilid ko ay ang bedside table na may lamp at digital clock sa ibabaw. It's already 7 pm.
Hinanap ko agad ang damit ko. Maayos na itong nakatupi sa dulo ng kama at may katabing paper bag. Hawak ko ang kumot habang inaabot ang paper bag at tinignan ang laman nito. Isang dress at may undegarment din.
Bumaba ako sa kama at isinuot ang binili niya. It's a simple spaghetti strap dress na checkered ang design. Lumabas ako at hinanap siya sa paligid. He's on the end of the long table preparing boxes of food. I cleared my throat kaya napalingon siya sa 'kin. Inilapat niya ang mga palad niya sa lamesa at pinagmasdan ako.
"How do you feel?"
I smiled. "Sore?"
Tipid siyang ngumiti at itinuro ang kung ano sa lamesa. Lumapit ako at nakita ang ilang tableta ng gamot. Muli akong napangiti at naupo sa folding chair. "Where did you buy this dress and the undies?"
He sat across the table and handed me a box of rice meal. "Online. Nangingiti pa 'yong nag-deliver."
Napangiti ako ulit pero naalala kong gabi na kaya hinanap ko ang bag ko. Nakapatong na rin ito sa lamesa kaya kinuha ko ito agad at nakita ang mga missed call mula kay Mommy at Miguel. I bit my lips as I tried calling Mom.
"Care? Where are you?"
Sumandal ako sa upuan at pinagmasdan si Gerard na pinupunasan ang plastic spoon gamit ang tissue.
"I'm with Gerard. I'm sorry I forgot to call. We just... fixed some stuff."
"Stuff like what?" she asked.
Ngumiti ako kay Gerard at kinuha ang inabot niyang kutsara. "Our... relationship."
Mom sighed on the other line. "Okay, as long as I know that you're fine. Will you go home tonight?"
"There's something else we need to do. But don't worry about me, I'll be fine."
"Okay. Eat your dinner."
Pinatay ko na ang tawag at bumaling kay Gerard. "So... you're free tomorrow, right?"
Marahan siyang tumango at ngumiti. "I am. Are we going somewhere?"
"Yeah." I cleared my throat and rested my elbow on the table. "I want to find Miguel's father— his... biological father. Do you know that his father was someone else?"
He pursed his lips at muling tumango. "I only found out on the same day that you did. KMA has no record of Lucia since we only focused on finding Diego."
"So KMA targets individuals too?"
"In special situations."
Nagkibit-balikat ako. "How is this special?"
"My girl is in danger. That kind of special."
Napangiti ako agad at sinimulan nang kumain. He assured me that he'll try to find anything about my mother. I texted Miguel that I was with Gerard and decided to spend the night here.
Kinaumagahan, nagising ako na may panibagong paper bag sa dulo ng kama. Napalingon ako sa isang nakabukas na pinto rito at natanaw ang salamin doon. It's the bathroom. Naligo ako at nagbihis bago lumabas.
Gerard glued his eyes on the table. Beside him were boxes of food.
"Hey..."
He smiled at me as I walked near him. Sinalubong niya ako ng malalim na halik at agad niyang hinapit ang bewang ko para maiupo ako sa lamesa. He made out for a few minutes before he ended it with a soft kiss. "Good morning."
I smiled at him and gazed on the papers beside me. "What are these?"
Tumapat siya roon at inilapat ang dalawang palad sa lamesa. "Information about Lucia. This is all I got. I knew from Miguel that your mother goes from one school and employer to another, twice every year since she was 11. These are her school and employment records, but only a few. She could be under an agency that was still using manual records at that time and didn't upload them in a digital storage."
Bumaba ako sa lamesa at pinagmasdan ang photocopy ng birth certificate ni Mama. Kumunot ang noo ko nang mabasa ang pangalan ng mga magulang niya.
"She told me that she's not in good terms with her parents, buhay pa ba sila?"
"Only her mother. Her father passed away almost a year after Miguel was born."
Napabuntonghininga ako. "Ang sabi ni Mama highschool sweethearts sila ni Diego kaya nabuo si Miguel. Kaya kaedad ko siya. But what if Mom was talking about another highschool sweetheart?"
Marahang umiling si Gerard. "We're not sure. She's been a waitress, a babysitter, and a housemaid. What if it's a guy from work? Someone older?"
Bumagsak ang balikat ko habang pinagmamasdan ang mga papel. How are we supposed to find Miguel's father then? I bit my lower lip habang nakatitig sa birth certificate.
"Pwedeng hindi nga sila ayos ng mga magulang niya, maybe because they found out about her pregnancy? But her mother must know who's the father, right?"
"Could be. She's living in the countryside. May souvenir shop sa gilid ng dagat."
Nilingon ko siya at nginitian. "You up for an out-of-town?"
He smiled and kissed me on my forehead. "Anywhere, as long as I'm with you."
