In Between

Gaya nga ng napag usapan nila eh they planned immediately their short vacation and now it's their last day sa batangas. Nag decide silang magbakasyon ng medyo malapit lang dahil nga short vacation lang naman daw.

It was still dark when they decided to take a walk on the beach kasi gusto nilang sulitin ang oras dahil mamaya-maya eh uuwi na sila.

"So how was it?" He ask as he stop walking and face her. "Nag enjoy kaba?"

Tumango-tango naman si Rachel ng nakangiti.

"Super. Omg! Thank you howe. This is the best." She happily and energetically said and hug him.

Natawa naman si Richard dahil sa cuteness ni Rachel para kasi itong batang nabilhan ng laruang gusto nya.

"I'm happy that you're happy." Sabi nya habag magkayakap silang dalawa. "And your always welcome. I love you."

Pulled away and smile at him.

"I love you too." Sabi nya.

Richard smile and cupped her face and tucked some strand of hair behind her ear. She rested her hands in his waist and stared at him as well.

"Laging mong tatandaan na mahal na mahal na mahal kita. Hmm?" He said and she nod.

"Tandaan mo rin na mahal na mahal din kita sobra." She said smiling.

Dahan-dahan naman na inilapit ni Richard and mukha nya kay Rachel and then in a snap he captured her lips initiating a passionate kiss. They're torridly kissing under the rising sun in a fresh morning.

Around two o'clock na ng maka uwi sila Rachel and Richard at dumiretso na muna sila sa bahay nila Richard at nag decide na doon na lang muna matulog si Rachel. Ganon na kasi ang set up nila, they would sleep in each others place.

Pero this is the first na matutulog sila sa bahay nila Richard kasi kung hindi sa baha nila Rachel eh sa condo naman sila ni Richard. Iniiwasan din kasi ni Richard na makita ni James si Rachel.

"Oh nandito na pala kayo." Salubong na sabi ng mama ni Richard.

"Opo ma, kadarating lang namin at dito na din muna matutulog si Rachel." Sabi ni Richard at humalik sa mommy nya ganon din naman si Rachel.

"Ganon ba eh sige na umakyat na kayo para makapaggahinga kayo." His mother said. "Ay teka kumain naba kayo?" Tanong nya.

"Ah opo tita kumain po kami bago umalis." She said smiling.

"Okay sige. Pahinga na kayo." Sabi na lang ni mommy.

Ngumiti na lang naman sila at umakyat na papunta sa kwarto ni Richard. It's her first time in here kaya medyo nanibago sya.

"Bakit?" Tanong ni Richard soon as she notice na natahimik si Rachel.

"Wala lang naninibago lang ako kasi hindi tayo sa condo mo. You know it's my first time here." She said.

Umupo naman si Richard sa kama and smile at her. Hinila nya ito at inupo sa lap nya and give her a peck on the lips.

"I know kaya from now on dito na tayo madalas matutulog para masanay ka. Okay?" He said.

"Okay." She said smiling. "Tulog na tayo howe, inaantok na ako." Sabi nya.

"Nako ang baby ko. Sige na tulog na tayo baby ko." He said.

Tumayo naman na si Richars habang buhat-buhat si Rachel and slowly lay her on the bed before he lay himself also beside her. He made her head rest in her chest as she hug him sideways.
