"She's asleep, I'll tell her later so she can call you back."

Naalimpungatan ako dahil sa boses ni Nichos. He's talking to someone, nasa bulsa ang isang kamay neto at ang isa naman ay hawal ang cellphone. My brows furrowed when I saw him wearing a boxer shorts only. Bumaba ang tingin ko sa katawan ko, nakatakip ang katawan ko ng comforter. Oh great, hindi man lang siya nag-abala na bihisan ako. Kahit sana yung pinag hubaran na dress shirt niya!

I closed my eyes again when he turned around.

"No, napagod lang siya sa biyahe." kalmadong sagot niya sa kung sino man ang kausap niya. At base sa narinig ko sakanya, may idea na namumuo sa utak ko na ako ang pinag-uusapan nila.

Ako? Napagod sa biyahe? Goodness gracious! Napagod ako dahil umaga hanggang hapon ako inararo ni Nichos! Hindi niya ako pinagpahinga kahit saglit lang. He take me missionary and whatsoever they called that different positions! Masarap. Masarap pero eto ang kapalit! Dinaig ko pa ang buntis na kailangan ng bed rest!

He chuckle, "Ask her, not me."

I opened my eyes slowly and stretch out my arms. Napa igik ako ng makaramdam ng discomfort sa pang ibabang parte ng katawan ko, I tried to move my legs and I thank God that I can move it even just a bit. Binaba na niya ang hawak na cellphone at agad akong dinaluhan.

"Sore? Can't walk? Want me to carry you?" sunod sunod na tanong niya sa akin. I rolled my eyes playfully. Hinila ko ang comforter at inipit sa may kili kili ko para hindi mahulog.

"I can move my legs, maybe I can walk." I answered and he just licked his lips, umiwas pa siya ng tingin sa akin na parang may iniisip. "What time is it?" I ask and leaned over the headboard.

He turn on his phone and look at it for a second, "7 in the evening." he answered and tossed his phone.

"Seven what?! I slept for almost 6 hours!?" I shouted. Shocked. Damn he only take me for 4 hours straight and I over slept?

We started at 9 in the morning and ended at 1 in the afternoon. Hindi man siya nag-abala na pakainin ako bago ako paulit ulit na angkinin. At sa loob ng apat na oras na 'yon hindi na ako magtataka na magkakalaman ang sinapupunan ko agad agad. He spurted his semen inside me a lot of times. That's not surprising at all.

Besides we're already married. Wala na akong kaka takutan na tatakbuhan niya ako, besides kaya ko naman buhayin ang magiging anak ko sakanya if mangyaring iwanan niya kami in the near future. A loveless marriage. I wonder what will happen to us if I will bear a baby.

"Nag-order nalang ako sa fast food. Hope it's okay with you." nag-aalinlangan niyang sabi. I forced a smile and motion him to bring the foods. 

"I'm famished," reklamo ko at hinimas ang ibabaw ng tiyan ko.

He shake his head and walked towards the closet and grab a sando shirt. I thought ayon ang susuotin niya but I was wrong. He struts towards me and he make me wear his sando shirt. I looked at him with disbelief, naka awang ang labi ko habang nakatingin sakanya.

"Sana pinasuot mo nalang ako ng T-shirt mo." hindi makapaniwalang sabi ko sakanya.

Bumaba ang tingin ko sa pinasuot niya sa akin,  wala na ang comforter na kanina ginagawa kong panakip sa katawan. Naka litaw ang side boobs ko dahil malaki ang sando shirt ni Nichos, bakat din ang malusog kong dibdib and so my nipples.

"Mas bagay sayo yan." he smirked playfully, hindi pa siya nagpapigil at bahagya pang pinisil ang dibdib ko.

"Damn you!" mura ko sakanya pero tinawanan lang niya ako.

He prepared the food for us in the bed. Nang sinabi niyang um-order siya sa fast food I was thinking of KFC, pero iba ang nasa harap ko ngayon. I laugh loudly when I saw a kiddie meal, with small toys in it!

"Why are you laughing?" he ask confused. His forehead crease when I didn't stop laughing my ass off.

That was epic! Ano ba ako sa paningin niya bata? He can order an ordinary meal for goodness sake, but instead he ordered a freaking kiddie meal?! Dinampot ko ang isang maliit na laruan at hinarap sakanya. It was a small toy race car at sakay noon si Twirlie, yung ice cream ang ulo.

"What are we going to do with this?" natatawang tanong ko sakanya at hinarap sakanya ang ibang maliliit na toy race cars na sakay ang mga kaibigan ni Jollibee.

"Laruin mo." he sarcastically said. I pouted my lips.

Binitawan ko na ang laruan at kinuha ang isang hamburger at fries, tinanggal ko muna ang buns sa itaas ng hamburger at naglagay ng ilang pirasong french fries sa taas ng patties, then I put a lot of ketchup on it. Madalas namin gawin ni Thrios 'to dati kapag binibilhan kami ng fast food ni Kuya Brylle.

"Sundae baby?" inilapit niya sa mukha ko ang sundae na hawak niya kaya agad ko yong kinuha. I suddenly miss my twin and my sister because of this foods. Thrios will surely love the hamburger with fries, especially kapag kasama niya kaming kumakain ni Kuya.

"Thank you," I said sincerely. Na parang hindi ko tinawan ang kiddie meal na binili niya.

I started eating my hamburger with fries and my sundae. Salitan ang ginagawa kong pagkain, minsan ay sinusubuan pa ako ni Nichos ng spaghetti na kinakain niya. He's just looking at me while eating our dinner.

"I wonder why some people called you a monster when in fact you were just like a kid." umangat ang tingin ko sakanya. Puno ng pagtataka ang mukha nito habang naka tingin sa akin.

Nilinok ko muna ang pagkain na nasa bibig ko bago ako umupo ng tuwid sa harapan niya, his gazed suddenly dropped off at my breast but I cleared my throat causing him to bring back his gaze on my face. I may look like innocent but I have something inside me that you don't want to be awaken.

"Simply because I chew them alive when they're trying to drag me down. As if I would let them," umismid ako at sumubo ulit ng hamburger.

"May nakakalaban ka pala?" he ask and continue eating his spaghetti, pangalawang spaghetti na niya in fact. I nodded my head and removed the spoon in my mouth.

"Kilala mo si Benidez?" he nod his head. Of course, he will know Benidez. Benidez is famous when it comes to his chains of hotel's, and to his famous resorts around manila and province of Pampanga. Talaga naman dinadayo ang mga 'yon.

"What about him?" umayos siya ng upo.

"He used his son to tamed me. He think his boy can make me fall in love and marry him after a months or so of dating." napairap ako nang maalala ang anak ni Benidez.

"You dated him?" he ask, irritated with the idea that I date someone?

"Yes. A month or so. He think a boy like his son can be my weakness," umismid ako. "But I played his petty game and turn the tables.It's the other way around, I used his son to know every little tiny juicy details about his Father dirts and viola! Bagsak ang sales ng ilang hotel nila sa Manila with extra juicy and tender chismis!" I wiggled my eyebrows.

I am not proud of what I have done. May mas malala pa akong nagawa dahil sa mga letcheng hindi matahimik na business man at naghahangad pa ng mas malaki sa kung anong mayroon sila. They will start the game and I will end it in a blink of an eye, without them knowing that they're already losing the game they've started.

"That's not a smart plan, Bree." nakikita ko ang disguto sa mga mata ni Nichos.

"I know. That's a childish game, pero tamad akong mag-isip sa mga panahon na 'yon kaya pinatulan ko nalang ang laro niya." dahilan ko sakanya at inubos na ang sundae na hawak ko.

Mabilis niyang niligpit ang mga pinagkainan namin at tinapon sa basurahan. Ni hindi pa nga ubos yung French fries ko! Hindi na ako nakapag reklamo dahil sa bilis ng mga galaw niya, lumabas na agad siya ng kwarto. Nagtataka ko tinignan ang pintuan, what the hell is wrong with him? Lakas maka PMS ah?

"Let's sleep." aniya pagka balik niya sa kwarto. My forehead crease.

"Pero kakagising ko lang..." parang bata na maktol ko sakanya.

"Do whatever you want. I'm going to sleep." he said without looking at me. Padapa siyang humiga, nakatalikod sa akin. Lumabi ako at hinayaan nalang siyang matulog.

Hinanap ko ang cell phone ko pero hindi ko 'yon makita. I need to contact Laurent, iwas boredom at para humingi nadin ng pasensya dahil hindi ko na siya nakausap after noong incident sa pusa kuno. Sumilip muna ako sa gawi ni Nichos, he's sleeping now. Pati sa pagtulog ay salubong ang mga kilay niya.

Tinanggal ko ang comforter na nakabalot sa akin at tumayo. Goodness gracious! Muntik na akong matumba dahil sa panginginig ng mga binti ko! I tried again and thankfully kahit papaano ay nakaka hakbang na ako. I grab Nichos boxer shorts and wear it, hindi ko na pinalitan ang suot kong sando shirt dahil dito lang naman ako sa loob ng kwarto.

"Saan ka pupunta?"

Napahawak ako sa may dibdib ko dahil sa gulat. I looked back and saw Nichos lying comfortably on the bed, may yakap pa itong unan.

"I'm looking for my phone." nakangusong sagot ko sakanya. Damn, he looks like a baby. Pero alam ko naman na hindi siya papasang baby. Umangat ang isang kilay niya sa akin.

Umismid siya, "So you can contact your boy? May I remind you Breeyana Clemente Martinez. Kasal kana sa akin." diniinan niya talaga ang apelyido niya at ang salitang 'Kasal'.

Hindi ko alam kung kikiligin ako sakanya o maw-weirdo-han. Is he bipolar? Okay lang naman kami kanina and then suddenly uma-attitude siya sa akin.

"Sleep now or else I'm going to fuck you non stop. I don't care if you're still sore down there!" he warned.

His eyes burn with desire when he saw my body. My eyes widened and my face flushed. Damn it!

"Pipilitin mo ako?" I ask stuttering.

He stared at me like he's studying my face. Yumuko ako at pinaglaruan ang mga daliri ko. He's too much to handle. Hindi ko kayang makapag titigan sakanya ng matagal, pakiramdam ko hinihigop niya ang buong pagkatao ko.

"Hindi iyon magiging pilit dahil gusto mo naman ang ginagawa ko sayo." he said as matter of fact. He sighed heavily. Sumenyas siya sa akin na lumapit ako sakanya.

"Come here, you need to sleep. May trabaho kapa bukas." he said.

Dahan dahan akong lumapit sakanya sa kama, siya naman ay umatras ng bahagya para mabigyan ako ng space. I sat down and just looked at him like I am admiring his gorgeous face. Bahagya niyang hinila ang braso ko at pinahiga ako, pinaunan niya ako sa braso niya at sinubsob ang mukha ko sa dibdib niya.

I bit my lower lip to stop myself from smiling like an idiot. Damn, ilang taon ko na bang pinangarap na sana makahiga ako sa tabi niya at gawing unan ang matipuno niyang braso? Am I dreaming? Cuz If I am, I don't want to wake up anymore. Mas gugustuhin ko nalang na nandito ako sa bisig niya.

"Stop thinking, Bree. Sleep." mariin na utos niya sa akin habang hinahaplos ang mahabang buhok ko. His hands on my hair felt so good, I closed my eyes to savor the moment.

"Pinapangarap ko lang dati 'to." I blurted out. I heard him chuckled softly.

"Ang babaw naman nang pangarap mo?" bahagya akong tumingala, my eyes met his beautiful paired gray eyes.

"Hindi siya mababaw. I hope you know how much I like you before, Nichos. I will move heaven and earth for you." amin ko sakanya. The corner of his mouth lifted. He gave me a lopsided grin.

"Heaven and Earth huh?" he mocked. "Well, I experienced a rush of dopamine and oxytocin with you."
