Baby 13

Nakaidlip sya.

Nakarating na kami sa bahay ko.

I didn't bother waking her up and just carried her out of the car.

Dahan-dahan akong naglalakad para hindi sya magising.

Sinalubong kami ni Manang.

I signalled for her to be quiet.

"Manang, pwede pakidalhan po ako ng hot water pati face towel sa guest room? Thanks!" mahina ko lang na sabi.

After a few minutes ay nakarating kami sa kwarto.

I carefully laid her down on the bed and arranged the pillows on her head.

Hindi ko maiwasan mapatingin sa mahaba nyang legs.

Napalunok ako.

I covered her with the blanket up to her neck.

Mahirap na!

Inalis nya yung kumot.

Exposing her legs.

Napalunok ulit ako.

Pilit kong binalik yung kumot.

Inalis nya ulit.

Malalim na yung paghinga ko sa pagpipigil.

Binalik ko ulit yung kumot.

"Sir, eto na po yung mainit na tubig at face towel!"

Buti dumating si Manang!

"Salamat Manang!"

I closed the door.

I sat on the side of the bed at dahan-dahan syang pinunasan.

Pinipiga ko yung towel nang bigla syang gumalaw at tumalikod sa akin.

Exposing her back to me.

She tried to remove her dress.

"Ang init!"

Natatarantang binalot ko sya ng kumot pero hindi ko sya binitawan.

I hugged her.

"Stop! Please stop!"

My control is hanging by a thread.

She looked at me with so much sadness in her eyes.

"Pangit ba ako?"

"No!"

"Am I not sexy enough?"

I shook my head.

"Then f*ck me!"

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko.

I'm at a loss for words.

"Gusto ko ng anak kahit hindi mo ako panagutan!"

I wanted to!

So bad!

But I knew that it was the alcohol and her heartbreak talking.

I didn't want her to regret her decision once the effects of the alcohol wore off.

"Sleep it off Ms. Enriquez! You're drunk!"

"I'm serious Mr. Barton, I want a baby!"

"Kung ayaw mo, maghahanap na lang ako ng iba!"

"What the hell!"

F*ck hindi ako papayag!

"Anak lang naman ang gusto ko! I promise hindi kita papanagutin, we won't be having a relationship at all!"

I tried to think clearly kahit na ang hirap.

"Napag-isipan mo na ba ng mabuti ito?"

Tumango sya.

Seryoso sya.

"We can write a contract para sigurado kang hindi ako maghahabol sa'yo. And I want the baby to be only mine."

My mind is screaming at every word that is coming out of her mouth.

Hindi ako papayag na hindi ako kilalanin ng anak ko!

"If you're really serious about this then I will have my lawyer make a contract. Come back here tomorrow so we can start our deal."

I will make sure that she will be mine and I will be her only baby maker.

And the rest is history.

We made love last night.

Hindi ko maiwasan ang mapangiti.

And I plan on making love to her again and again and again.

Just like I told her.

Hindi na ako makapaghintay na makauwi.

Ramdam ko ang paninikip ng pantalon ko.

At ease soldier!
