“Serioso ka,” shocked na tanong ni Ellis. “Don’t pretend to sleep, James…you just can’t say something like that and go to sleep without saying anything…are you breaking up with me, ”naguguluhang pangungulit ni Ellis.
“Nobody’s breaking up with anybody….. I just think it’s time for us to think about where we want this thing to head before we get too preoccupied with sex. That’s all, ” calmadong sagot ni James “Just think about it, Ellis…Im really sleepy, pinagod mo ako.” Sa loob- loob ni James, “Gotcha!”
Gustong ituloy ni Ellis ang discussion with James pero mahirap gisingin ang nagtutulog tulugan. From his side of the bed, James was secretly amused at Ellis’s reaction to his ingenious plot to force her hand.
Gising si Ellis ng magdamag, iniisip kung ano itong scheme ng boyfriend nya. Kilala nya si James, and she knows he is a problem solving man, walang impossible sa kanya, and most, if not all, problems have a solution. “But really, Ellis, what DO you want out of this relationship…kuntento ka na lang ba sa ganitong arrangement lang…do you want more?…siguro masyado kang happy sa relationship nyo, you never had time to think about anything else…?”
–oOo—
Kusang nagising si Ellis the following morning to find herself partly draped over James’ muscular body. He had obviously woken up ahead of her, and was having his coffee in bed. He had just taken his shower and had nothing on except his boxer-briefs. Sensing her waking up, James kissed the top of her head. “Good morning, babe,” sexing bulong nya, sabay abot kay Ellis ang cup of coffee of nya.
“G’morning,” medjo drowsy na sagot ni Ellis. “Thanks, love…” Umayos sya ng upo sa tabi ni James. “So what was that all about…?”
“Meron bang mahirap intindihin sa sinabi ko kagabi?”
“Don’t answer my question with a question, James….we’ve just known each other, why are you bringing up getting married na biglaan…”
“Do you think I am in this just for sex?….Oh, don’t get me wrong….We have fantastic sex, mind blowing dirty explosive sex….just thinking about what I’m going to be missing, gusto ko nang sumuko…but hindi lang naman kantot ang hanap ko sa isang relasyon…,” seriosong sagot ni James.
“Yeah…but who says we have to give up sex entirely…habang ine-explore natin ang possibilities, pwede naman i-explore din natin ang isa’t isa,” pilyang pandedemonyo ni Ellis.
“Ellliissss…,” natawang sagot ng isa. “I know you’re devious, babe, but you know I can be a jackass about these things….once my mind’s set, there’s no changing it.”
Umiral ang pagka-competitive ni Ellis, not above taking advantage of James’ weakness. Ellis turned around and started teasing him with her sexy butt…..“Hmmmmmm…so you’re saying you don’t want to touch this….or this…” Humarap syang nakaluhod at ibinaba nya ng marahan ang kanyang thongs. She stretched out her right leg at pinagapang nya ang kanyang foot sa cock ni James…She was getting to him, she could tell…
James took her foot in his hand, at idiniin sa titi nyang tumitigas at pumipintig. “Ooohhh god….” Itinaas nya sa mga bibig nya ang cute at sexing right foot ng dalaga…sinpsip nya ang mga toes, dinilaan…all the while staring at her intensely. “Two can play this game….”
Ellis started playing with her pussy, teasing James with the scent of her arousal. He dropped her foot, leaned over her and tongued her pussy, slowly pulling down her thongs…giniling giling ni Ellis ang balakang nya, to intensify ang sarap ng ginagawa ni James…. “Ooohhhh, ganyang ngaaaa…..” halinghing ni Ellis….dahan dahang itinaas ni James ang saplot nga dalaga, sabay umekis ekis pataas ang dila nya, from her navel, under her tits, to her hardening nipples, sa leeg…sa mamula mulang labi ni Ellis. Nag-french sila…sexy, hot, wet, dirty…. “Nice try, Ellis, but I will win this…”
Bumalik sa ulunan ng kama ang lalaki, inayos ang kanyang boxers at itinuloy ang pagkakape, amused sa obvious na pagkabitin ng kanyang iniirog… “Your coffee’s getting cold…”
Asar na tumayo si Ellis at binato nya ang thongs nya sa binata. Tumawa lang si James. Lalong nainis ang babae at padabog na pumasok ng banyo. “Don’t slam the door,” pang-asar pa ng binata.
James: 1, Ellis: 0.

“What’s going on with you two,” nagtatakang tanong ni Joshua sa kuya nya.
“Nothing, I just changed tactics, and she’s feeling the burn,” bungisngis na sagot ni James.
“Ano namang tactic yun?”
“Let’s just say that she’s not getting any until she agrees to negotiate the terms of our arrangement.”
Tumawa si Joshua sa strategy ni James. “I think the lack of release is getting to you than it is her. Bakit ka ba nagmamadali? Obvious namang ikaw lang ang type nya, which is a wonder to me, by the way….She’s not going anywhere.”
“Do I need to remind you how you went after Kate?” biro ni James. Parang kailan lang nung si Joshua naman ang nasa kinalalagyan nya ngayun. Six years ago, si Joshua ang hindi mapakali hanggang mapasagot nya si Kate, isang propesor ng English studies sa military academy sa norte. Nagkakilala sila ni Kate nang ma-assign sa intelligence sa Camp Allen si Josh, na isang major sa Philippine Army.
“Well, goodluck to you on that one, is all I can say, bro,” sabay taas ni Josh ang tangan nyang beer.
–oOo—
“You do know that I’m with James on this one, Ellis…I am such a sucker for romances kasi..,” ngisi ni Kate.
“Ewan ba…Hindi ko naman inakala na darating sa ganito ito…when we first hooked up, James and I never talked about getting serious…getting married was the farthest thing from my mind.”
“You never talked, period,” kantyaw ni Kate. “Hindi mo ba naiisip ang pagpapakasal?”
“Rarely. Abnormal siguro ako. Yung mga playmates ko nung elementary ako, positive silang ikakasal sila paglaki nila. Alam na nila kung ano ang dress nila, saang simbahan at saan reception… Ako, it never really occurred to me. Ang nasa isip ko, finish college, go to law school, be a lawyer, and be independent from my parents by thirty….wala yung getting married and having kids. Now, everything’s changed. Ito kasing bayaw mo, eh.”
“Baka naman natakot ka dahil sa experiences mo sa mga kasong mag-asawa na handle mo….sabagay, ako din naman, hindi ako interesadong pakasal kay Joshua nuon. Gusto ko lang made-virginize…Kaya lang naman ako pumayag na lumabas with Josh nuong una eh para madevirginize at thirty…hahhahhaha…kala ko nuon, matanda na ako kaya kelangan, bago mag 31, hindi na ako virgin!”
“Really? Kala ko mahinhin ka, isa ka rin palang nasa loob ang kulo…” halakhak ni Ellis. “Seriously, I think marriage is over-rated and not for everybody. Kung okay naman ng ganito, why do we need to rock the boat. I mean, I love him, we get along okay, I dont need a husband to support myself.”
“You have a lot of think coming, if that’s all you think marriage is about. It’s not just about having kids. It’s not even about sex. It’s a lot more, it’s telling the world that this is the person you love and honor. Takot ka lang, aminin mo.”
“Oo naman, sino ba ang hindi matatakot. Sanay akong magdesisyong mag-isa, walang ina-alalang iba. I have the freedom to pursue my ambitions. Baka pag mag-asawa ako, everything takes a backseat to his wishes. It scares me to lose my identity…”
–oOo—
“Arghhhh,” frustrated na si Ellis. Miss na nya ang pag-iyot ni James, yung malaking titi nya grabe sa sarap kung kumadyot. Miss nya ang sexy foreplay nila, ang quickies sa kung saan sila abutan ng libog. Naalala tuloy nya the first time they did it in his parents’ garden while people were partying at the house.
Malapit na ang period nya nun, which meant she was especially horny. She woke up with her right leg tucked between James’ thighs. Tulog pa din si James, ngunit hindi ang kanyang ari — early morning boner.
Sa kapilyahan at libog nya, marahang diniin ni Ellis ang kanyang nakasampay na binti sa titi ni James. Iginadgad nya ng gently, hanggang sa umungol sa sarap si James. Ipinagpatuloy ni Ellis ang paglaro sa alaga ng lalaki, binaba nya ng unti unti ang boxer-briefs nito, di pa sya nakuntento, umulos sya pababa at hinimas himas nya ang gising na gising na ari nito. “Salbahe ka talaga….di mo na maantay na magising ako, “ biro ni James. Ngumiti lang si Ellis, at linawayan ang titi nito. “Shit!… subo mo na please…ahhhhh,” umungol sya ng biglang isubo ni Ellis ang ulo ng ari ni James at sinuck ng bigay todo habang sinalsal nya ito…Ringggg!
Persistent ang ringing ng phone ni Ellis. Napilitang sagutin ni James dahil busy ang bunganga ng babae…. “Hello…..oohh…hmmmmmppp….yehhhsss….ohhkayyyy…bye,” pilit na kinontrol ni James ang boses nya. Sinabunutan ng bahagya ni James ang babae, at hinilang pataas, hinalikan ng madiin. “Horndog ka talaga…May hearing ka daw ng 8:30.” Nalaala ng abogada bigla ang usapan nila ng Judge sa kaso. “I need to go,” bulalas nya…”Save that for later..”
Natapos ang afternoon pero restless pa din si Ellis, she wanted to be with James. Pero may party sa bahay nina Anita and she and James had to go. Umuwi ito, nagshower at naligo. It was a sitdown dinner kaya extra effort sya to look presentable. Shaved her legs, brought out her favourite strappy heels, and black silk wrap around dress. Sleeveless ito kaya nagdala din sya ng red shawl. A little perfume, pink lipstick, mascara and dark eyeshadow and she was ready. Linabas nya ang kanyang old buggy, dahil hindi na sya nagpasundo kay James.
Pagdating sa party, nakita nya si James looking suave and sexy at the same time in tailored slacks, and pink dress shirt. Lumapit si James sa kanya, hinalikan sya sa leeg at patagong dinakma ang matumbok nyang puwet. “Goddd you smell gooddd! Gusto ka nang umuwi nito,” bulong ng lalaki.
“Behave ka nga,” bilin ni Ellis, ngunit sya man ay gusto nang umuwi para sarilinin si James. Nahanap sya ng Ma ni James at nag-circulate sila sa party. However, hindi mapigilan ni James ang sarili. Each chance he gets, hinahalik halikan ng lalaki ang leeg, batok, taas no ulo ni Ellis. Nang maka-tsansa, hinila ni James si Ellis sa garden, at umupo sila sa swing set na nasa dulo ng garden. Pasimpleng pinaupo ni James si Ellis sa lap nito. Pinatong naman nila ang shawl sa lap ni Ellis para takpan ang ginagawa nila. “Anu ka baaa…mahuli tayo dito…!” “Sssshhh…wag ka kasi maingay,” bulong naman ni James.
Sa ilalim ng shawl, nakataas na ang dress ni Ellis. Hindi rin makatiis, sinalubong nya ang maiinit na halik ng lalaki. Dinukot ng lalaki ang matambok na suso ni Ellis at linamas lamas nya ito ng buong gigil. Walang foreplay, ilinabas nya ang titi nya, hinila ng konti ang underwear ni Ellis at itinutok sa puke ng dalaga. “Oooohmy gooddd!”, hingal ni Ellis, “grabe na ang kamanyakan mo, James!” Hinawakan ni James ang bewang ng babae at sya na mismo ang naggiling nito habang binabayo nya pataas ang babae. “Anoo baaa….ang manyak mo talaga,” halinghing ni Ellis. “Ohhhh….fuck, ayan naaa…” Sinuksok ni James ang kamay nya sa underwear ni Ellis at hinimas-himas ang tinggil ng huli, habang patuloy nyang iniyot ito. Hindi na rin mapigilan ni Ellis ang sobrang libog nya, isinandal nya ang isang leg nya sa upuan ng swing, at iinapak sa ground yung kabila para lalong maipasok ng lalaki at ari nya sa masikip ngunit madulas na puki nito. Umuga uga ang swing set sa bawat bayo ni James, lumakas ng lumakas ang kadyot nya hanggang sa … “Ahhhhhh…fuckkk!”
After a few minutes, dinukot ni James ang panyo nya at pinunasan ang tamod nyang tumulo palabas ng pussy ni Ellis. “Thank you, baby…I really needed that,” masuyong bulong ni James.
Just as easily as she remembers, ganun kabilis naming mag-init ni Ellis. Isang lingo na ring hindi sya ini-iyot ni James kaya sobra na lang ang pag-kamiss nya dito. Pero sa lahat, miss nya ang company ni James, ang tenderness nya, ang sense of humor nya, ang spooning time nila on weekends. Bumuo sa isip kung paano din nya pasusukuin si James. “Watch out James. This is war!”
