Chapter 28 - 26

Umagang-umaga ay gising na agad ako. Andito ako sa unit ni Davon, nag-aya kasi sya kahapon, hindi ko naman matanggihan since it's Valentines Day today. Hindi na rin muna kami papasok, the company, Davon treats it as a threat to our relationship, although I can't seem to understand his point.

Dahil wala pa namang magawa ay tumingin-tingin ako sa mga movie o kung ano pa man ang nasa shelf ni Davon, but even before I got to put a disk, I noticed that a TV show is ongoing. 

Adventure Time?

I got curious about it because the song, it sounds familiar.

Come along with me.

With the butterflies and bees.

We can wander through the forest.

And do so as we please.

Come along with me.

To a cliff under a tree.

Where we can gaze upon the water.

As an everlasting dream.

As the song was finished, I found myself finishing the song right after it finished. Suddenly, a memory of the little me came.

I was standing alone at a forest, I tried to catch a butterfly so I got lost. I cried and shouted my lungs out until my whole body gave up and I fell into a deep slumber.

I woke up and found myself being carried by a bigger boy. He's just looking forward, not noticing that I am awake. While walking, I think he got bored, he started singing.

"Come along with me, with the butterflies and bees....."

I smiled because of that memory. Now I know why this song sounds familiar. I stood up and headed to the kitchen. May mga kinainan kami kagabi na hindi nahugasan kaya nagsimula ako sa pagtanggal ng mga tirang bits ng pagkain. While doing so, I can't help it but to hum. I'm humming the song I realized was a part of my childhood.

Naisip ko kung ano ang itsura nong lalaki. Hindi ko matandaan e. Hindi naman pwede na hanapin ko yun at hindi naman sya nagpakilala. Buti pa si Marcus e alam ko.

Speaking of, Marcus L. was the only thing in there, he joined the day I found his account! And it said that he works in LPC, so I searched for companies that are known for the name LPC, but Davon's company is the only thing showing up. Davon's company is well-known worldwide. Foreigners even visit our building for the best of the best paintings are there, only on the highest floor, though.

I got more curious of Marcus, pero isinawalang bahala ko muna iyon. Andito naman si Davon, hindi ko na kailangan pa na maghanap ng iba. Siguro, pwede naman na pasalamatan ko nalang si Marcus sa ginawa nya noon, siguro nga.

Para rin hindi ko na sya hahanap-hanapin. Tama.

Nang patapos na akong maghugas ay nakaamdam ako ng mainit na hiningang tumatama sa batok ko. Arms snaked around my waist and a chin was resting on my shoulder, beside my neck. Davon kissed me there and sucked it lightly, I moaned at the sensation. Davon stopped and chuckled at my reaction.

"Good morning." he said in his husky voice.

"Good—" I stopped when I felt his abruptly large maleness. I can't even believe that that thing entered me and it literally stretched me! "G-good morning." nahihiyang bati ko. 

He noticed my reaction so he distanced himself a bit but his arms are still around my waist. I faced him immediately. "Happy Valentine's Day, Davon." I said and I gulped before brushing my butt againts his maleness, I smiled secretly when he muttered a curse.

"Fuck, I know it's Valentine's Day, baby, so Happy Valentine's Day to you. But please don't tease me like that, I might come, you know I love it when you do things to my body, and it's been so damn long since we did it." paliwanag nya kaya tumango-tango nalang ako. I planted a soft kiss on his lips and he kissed me back. His tongue started teasing my mouth and I was about to open it when someone spoke.

"Are you guys gonna make babies today?" I turned and I suddenly want to be eaten by the floor when it was his mother! "Come on, give me a hug." anito sakin kaya kahit nahihiya'y dahan-dahan akong naglakad palapit sakanya at niyakap sya. "Gosh, I missed you! How are you guys? Going strong, eh? Where's my grandchild?" tanong nito at lalo akong nahiya sa huling tanong nya.

"Mom." si Davon. "We don't have a child—"

"Yet!" dugtong ng Mama nya sa sasabihin ni Davon. "Damon, cook something for us. Bystreye!" anito kaya tumango si Davon at nagsimulang maghanda ng lulutuin. She pulled me into the sofa and started the conversation again. "Come on, hija. Don't you miss me? Magtatampo na ba ako sayo?"

"N-namiss naman po, Tit—"

"Mom, Selena. I told you to call me Mom, right?" putol nito sakin. Oo nga pala't Mom dapat.

"Namiss po, Mom." wow, deretso kong nasabi yun?

"That's it, hija!" she hugged me and I hugged her back. "I immediately booked a flight since I miss Damon, and you! I missed you very much that's why Mom's here." paliwanag nya. Saglit pa kaming nagkwentuhan tungkol sa mga kung ano-ano bago kami tinawag ni Davon at nagsimula na nga kaming kumain.

We're having croissants and bread, and a marmalade is here beside the bread. I chose coffee and so did Davon while Mrs. Ighes chose tea.

"Hija, I'm hoping to hear the wedding bells sooner, okay? But it's fine if you guys don't want to yet. Mom can wait." she gave us an assuring smile so I released a breath of relief. "Anyway, do you guys have plans for today? It's Valentine's Day now." sabi nya pa kaya napatingin ako kay Davon.

"We'll stay here for today, Mom. Watch movies, eat, cuddle—"

"Make babies?" putol ni Mrs. Ighes kay Davon, bigla akong nasamid sa kape. "Are you okay, hija?"

"O-okay lang po." tanging nasabi ko. I looked at Davon who has this worried look so I smiled and his face kind of relaxed. He smiled at me, too.

"Hija, go on and take a bath. We'll go somewhere." sabi ni Mrs. Ighes saakin kaya pagkatapos kong kumain ay iyon nga ang ginawa ko since tinanguan ako ni Davon pabalik. After I bathed, I chose simple clothes to wear. I'm now wearing a white t-shirt paired with black skirt. I wore a beige sandals for footwear and I was about to go outside when I heard their voices talking. I'm not into eavesdropping much but I got curious.

"What are you gonna do if they'll do that again?" boses iyon ni Mrs. Ighes. Lalo kong idiniin sa pinto ang tainga ko.

"I don't know, Mom. But I have to face them. They promised peace and when that organization promises, I know they mean it. They asked for me to get out of out organization, so I did." there was a long pause. "But they said they'll go to hunt us, me and Zach, for five times before they let us go. Zach faced two already while I faced one. Two more attack and I can finally marry her, Mom." sabi ni Davon kaya napakunot ang noo ko.  

Ano'ng pinag-uusapan nila?

"I'll let them do what they want to do, Mom. I'll let them." sabi ni Davon at narinig ko ang pagsang-ayon ni Mrs. Ighes sa anak.

Aalis na sana ako sa harap ng pinto nang magsalita pa si Davon, and my curiosity burned even more when I heard what he said.

"I'll let them do whatever they want. Punch me till I'm purple, or even shoot me till my blood runs out. But whatever happens, I won't fucking leave her again this time."
