SUZY'S POV
"Heto na. Nandiyan na lahat ang---" Huminga muna ako ng malalim saka nagsalita uli. "--ang lahat ng kailangan mo. Wear that now." Saad ko na rito sabay abot ng paper bag sa kanya.
With his raised brow, tinanggap naman niya ito. Hindi na ito nakasuot ng coat nito ngayon and his shirt was now buttonless while he was sitting at the driver's seat while he kept hissing in cold.
"Okay. Magbibihis na'ko." He answered saka walang sabi-sabing hinubad na nito agad ang damit nito, surprising me with it.
I quickly looked away from his naked sight saka binuksan na ang pintuan sa tabi ko.
"L-Lalabas na muna ako. Just call me when you're done." Paalam ko na rito saka agad ng bumaba ng sasakyan dahil baka ano pang parte ng katawang lupa nito ang makita ko.
I just patiently waited outside habang kibit ang mga balikat kong nakasandal sa sasakyan.
Good thing I was able to spot a small clothing store nearby kaya mabilis lang ang naging lakad ko. Hindi 'yon ganun kagandang mga damit but I'm certain it would fit fine on his built.
Nang may bigla nalang dumaan na malamig na hangin, I hissed and tightly hugged myself when I shivered in cold. Dahil sa pag-akay ko sa kanya kanina, medyo basa pa rin hanggang ngayon ang coat ko but thinking that we'd be able to go home after he change, hindi na 'ko nag-abala pang hubarin ito.
"Suzy?? Bakit kulang 'tong binili mo sa'kin??"
Lumayo na'ko sa sasakyan nang marinig ko na ang reklamo niyang 'yon mula sa loob.
Ano naman kayang kulang rito ngayon??
Curious to know what it was, binuksan ko na agad ang pintuan ng sasakyan to check on him, expecting him now fully dressed.
"Anong kulang----"
My eyes almost bulged out in horror nang ang hubo't hubad na katawan nito ang bumungad sa'kin sa loob.
HOLY----
Halos nanlaki pa lalo ang mga inosenteng mata ko nang pagtingin ko sa ibabang bahagi nito, his 'junior' proudly waved at my way.
HOLY MARY OF GRACE!!
I quickly shut my eyes when I was able to recover from my shock. Tightly squeezing my eyes out. Desperate to erase the clear image of his naked form from my mind.
"A-Ano bang kulang, Liam? B-Bakit ba hindi ka pa rin nakapagpalit ng damit mo hanggang ngayon???!"
I groaned in annoyance when I think I heard him chuckled at me.
This jerk! Talagang ikinatutuwa pa nito na nakita ko ang kahubaran nito!
"Of course, Suzy. Paano ako makakapagpalit nito kung nakalimutan mo namang bumili ng salawal ko?? How could I bloody wear this pants without an underwear then?"
Hearing that, di ko mapigilang mapabuga na lamang ng malalim na hininga while my bloody heart kept pounding in my chest.
Oh yes. How could I bloody forget about that!!! Dahil dun, nakita ko pa tuloy ang buong katawan nito pati----
Napalunok na lang ako ng laway when the image of his darn proud--member flashed through my head again, causing my face to heat up in embarrassment.
Not wanted to let him see my flushed face, tumalikod na'ko agad rito before I answered him.
"Just--Just wear that clothes without an underwear for now, Liam! Nakalimutan kong bilhan ka nun kanina dahil hindi 'yon sumagi sa isipan ko."
"What??! You want me to walk around Canada without an underwear? Tingin mo ba magiging komportable akong gawin 'yon knowing that my dear junior keep waggling under my pants uncomfortably?? Alam mo ba kung gaano kahirap 'yon sa'ming mga lalaki??"
Just hearing that 'dear junior' now, napapahugot nalang ako ng malalim na hininga while tightly gritting my teeth.
"Then be it! Ngayon lang naman ito! Ano bang gusto mong gawin ko? Bumalik pa'ko dun sa tindahan just to get you an underwear?"
"Yes. Dapat lang! Kung hindi mo lang kasi ako binitawan kanina then I wouldn't have suffer this torture now."
Napapailing na lamang ako rito while I kept heaving up a deep breath as he reminded me with my fault again.
"Well, sorry then. I can't relate with that torture dahil babae ako and I have no 'junior' with me kaya wag ka na ngang maraming arte. Just wear it!"
The growling sound he was making now intensified.
"Palibhasa babae ka so you never know what torture we men suffers when we walk around without an underwear!! At saka bakit sa lahat ng makakalimutan mong bilhin para sa'kin, why does it have to be my underwear?? Sinadya mo ba 'to??"
"Ah ang bait mo naman para sabihing sinadya ko 'yon ano? Kung alam ko lang, edi sana salawal nalang 'yong binili ko para sa'yo at kinalimutan ko nalang sana ang lahat. Total, mas importante naman sa'yo ang salawal mo ngayon kahit panay naman ang hubad mo dun kapag nambababae ka!"
"WHAT???!"
I groaned and just poked my ear out when he suddenly shouted that behind me.
"Can't you just wear that now, Liam? Uuwi na rin naman tayo pagkatapos mong magbihis diyan kaya magkakasalawal ka rin pag-uwi mo." Timping sagot ko na rito, pilit na gawing mahinahon ang boses ko kahit gusto ko ng kurutin ang singit nito ng tumahimik ito.
"Anong uuwi agad? Maaga pa naman and I feel like sipping a hot coffee in a warm Coffee shop tonight so just you wait right there."
My brow arched up at that when he answered that.
"Coffee? So you'll going to wander around Canada without even an underwear? I thought it'd feel so uncomfortable walking with your darn 'junior keep waggling' its damn tail down there? Bakit gusto mo pa ring magcoffee ngayon kung pwede mo namang gawin 'yon sa bahay niyo??" I curiously asked while emphasizing the 'junior part'.
A loud disapproval growl instantly came out from him when i asked that.
"Wala kana dun, Suzy. Palibhasa hindi mo alam kung gaano kalamig ang nabagsakan ko kanina. My frozen nerves needs something to warm up myself and I can't wait to do that now imbes na uuwi pa'ko sa bahay."
When he explained that, hindi na'ko umimik rito and just shrugged my shoulders. I silently waited for him with my back facing him. At mga ilang sandali lang, I've finally heard him started the engine.
"Hop in now, woman. Aalis na tayo."
Nang marinig 'yon, tumalima na agad ako habang pikit pa rin ang mga mata. Dahil malay natin, baka ano na namang parte ng katawan nito ang makita ko ngayon.
"You can open your eyes now. Nakabihis na'ko." When he notified me that, I quickly opened my eyes and I was able to let out a sigh of relief when I saw him now fully dressed.
Well, not that fully dressed dahil wala nga itong suot na salawal ngayon. I mentally grinned at the thought of him having no underwear in him right now.
After I buckled up my seatbelt, the car then began to move and leave that place. And I'm gonna miss this place for sure. For the last time, tiningnan ko na uli ang lugar na'yon sa may bintana. Making sure to remember every little details of it dahit hindi ko alam kung makakabalik pa'ko rito. Kahit na alam ko naman na ibang-iba ito kapag wala ng snow sa paligid.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ba't ba kasi ang layo ng pinagparkingan mo ng sasakyan mo, Liam? Ang layo mula sa coffee shop na'yon."
"Just be patient, woman. Malapit na tayo.."
Nang marinig ko na naman ang sagot niyang 'yon, 'di ko na maiwasang tignan nalang ito ng patalim.
Katatapos lang naming magkape ngayon at pabalik na kami ngayon sa sasakyan nito while walking through the road covered with snows. Marami pa ring taong naglalakad sa daan kahit gabing-gabi na at bumababa pa lalo ang temperatura ngayon. At kahit kakainom ko palang ng mainit na kape, nanginginig pa rin ako sa lamig ngayon while he himself looking so warm with his furry maroon coat na binili ko rito kanina.
Ignoring him, niyakap ko nalang ng mahigpit ang sarili ko and desperately rubbed my arms in a hope to warm myself habang nakasunod lang rito.
"Suzy.."
"Hmm?" Tugon ko rito sabay tingin rito. Nakatingin na ito sa'kin ngayon habang nakatayo lang.
Huminto na rin ako sa paglalakad then looked at him with questioning eyes.
"What? Something wrong?"
He just smiled saka kinamayan ako nito na lumapit rito, making me frowned at him.
I didn't moved my feet at nanatili lang akong nakatayo doon while wondering why he would suddenly want me to come close to him..
"Anong problema mo? Ba't gusto mo 'kong palapitin sa'yo ngayon?"
"Alam kong nilalamig ka ngayon dahil sa basa mong coat. Take it off now dahil baka lagnatin ka na naman. You know we still have to fly back to the Philippines tomorrow right?"
My frown deepened more, confused with why he knows I was cold and wet right now.
"No. Hindi ako nilalamig. Hindi naman ito masyadong basa so I'll be fine."
"No. Take it off now before I'd be suffer from my mom's wrath. Okay. I'll do it." Saad na nito saka humakbang na palapit sa'kin.
"Pauwi na naman tayo so okay lang---"
Hindi ko na natapos ang iba ko pang palusot rito nang bigla nalang nitong hablutin ang suot kong coat and then forced me to take it off from me.
"No. Ano ba, Liam! I said---"
"You can't fool me. Kanina pa kita napapansing panay ang kakayakap mo sa sarili mo. At anong hindi masyadong basa? Basang-basa ito ngayon so take it off." He demanded saka tuluyan ng hinubad ito mula sa'kin.
"Dapat tinatapon mo na ito bago ka pa lagnatin dahil sa basang damit na'to."
My eyes widened in horror when he was about to throw it away. Pero bago paman niya magawa 'yon, agad ko ng pinigilan ang kamay nito.
"No. You can't just throw this like that, Liam. Sa mom mo 'to at hindi sa'kin."
His brow instantly arched up at that while giving me a disbelief look in his eyes.
"Oh! Kay mom pala 'to." He said while nodding in understanding.
"Then the more I have to throw this thing now dahil hindi naman niya mapapansing mawawala ito dahil sa dami ng damit nito." And then without any words, inihagis na niya ito mga ilang metro ang layo rito, causing me to gape at him in disbelief.
Oh God! This man must be mad!
"So now, come to me now and enjoy my warmth." Nakangiting saad na nito and before I could even realize what he was about to do, nahila na'ko nito sa balikat ko papunta sa mga bisig nito, sa ilalim ng maluwag na suot nito..
Making my eyes widened more in utter surprise habang pigil ang hininga.
Inayos na nito agad ang suot nitong coat, covering me with it while I was pushed against his chest. Of course, sa liit ko ba namang ito, walang dudang kakasya talaga ako kahit saan. Halos hindi na nga yata ako makita ng ibang tao rito if he want to hide me under his overlarge coat now.
Well, it was indeed warm being in his arms pero--- mali ito! At mali na magustuhan ko rin ito because he's going to be married soon! Oh God!
"What do you think? Hindi ka na giniginaw ngayon hindi ba?"
When he asked that, itutulak ko na sana ito palayo but his damn arms were just quick enough to stop me!
"Liam, bitawan mo na'ko ngayon. Hindi ito tama!" Saway ko na rito with my bared teeth habang nakatingala rito.
Sa liit kong 'to, hanggang baba niya lang ang tangkad ko. And I hated for having this height dahil kailangan ko pa talagang tingalain ito gaya ngayon!
Imbes na bitawan ako, mas lalo lang nitong hinigpitan ang yakap nito ngayon sa'kin while looking down at me with a smirk in his mouth.
"What? Ano ba dapat ang tama ngayon? May ginagawa ba akong masama ngayon na dapat tigilan ko?"
"Hindi tama itong ginagawa mo so let me go now, Liam. Hindi na'ko giniginaw and people were looking at us!"
"No. You're still cold and I'm making you warm. Wala naman tayong ginagawang masama rito. And so what if people were looking? We can even kiss right here and no one would even mind.. Wala tayo sa Pinas, Suzy so we can do whatever we want to do here."
All I could was just bared my teeth hard dahil talagang may dahilan talaga ito sa lahat ng arguments ko!
With murderous thoughts, hinayaan ko nalang muna ito sa kahibangan nito. And good thing after a few minutes, naramdaman ko na ring lumuwag ang yakap nito. Saka umakbay na agad ito sa balikat ko, tightly hugging me on his side this time.
"Umalis na tayo. I'm certain mom was already looking for you now."
At the mention of his mom, my arm in instantly wrapped around his waist to comfortably walk with him. Now liking the warmth of his body. Ngayon lang naman ito. Dahil pag-uwi na pag-uwi ko sa Pinas bukas, iiwasan ko na uli ito.
