Chapter 6

It's been an hour, I slept so tight while listening to relaxing love songs on the radio. I yawned and I felt the saliva from my jaw. I immediately cleaned my face, I would be embarrassed if Armando saw me like this.

"I know what you are thinking, sweetheart."

"Hhhmm. What?"

"You are shy about what you have just said while you were sleeping. I already saw your mouth is watering."

"Just shut up!" I beat his arms 'coz I hate what he has just said, the nerve!

"Okay. Alright. I am so sorry. Did I offend you? Ahahaha!"

"Why are you laughing?"

"Because I am happy."

"You are happy because you saw me like a baby?"

"You are a baby, a baby of my life. You have just sipped the bottle of my milk, don't you?"

"Oh my god! You are such an annoying! Stop saying that! I am shy, there is somebody else here."

"Why are you saying? I am very proud you are my baby. Right, driver?"

"Oh please, don't ask him. Driver, just keep driving. Don't mind us. He is just being silly because he is hungry."

"That's right. I am. Why did you just eat all of the food?"

What? W-W-What? I thought they were just for me. I don't know if he has a part in it. I am doomed. He is starving today, what if he has no choice and he starts to eat me raw? I am scared.

"I am sorry. I have some little snacks here. Here, eat these cupcakes."

He immediately picks up the bag of cupcakes. "Wow! My all-time favorite. I really love this stuff. Thank you, sweetheart. This is so fucking good! I am longing to have this because nobody is selling it in my place. Oh wow!"

I am glad he is so happy. His full happiness is now unlocked. I don't really think he loves sweets. What if I bake him some cupcakes soon? I can invite him to my house as a friend. My family will not notice, I will just show them that he is my buddy, my partner in a cooking project.

"You know, I have a great idea. Since you love sweets, I will invite you soon to my house."

"Will you introduce me to your family as well?"

I slapped him slightly. "You fool! Of course not. That will not happen this time. My family is so very very fucking much strict. Don't you dare show your true intentions to me, they will kill you."

He massaged his face. "How tragic. I wish the time will come when they will also be an official couple with their blessings. I am sad."

"Don't be sad, you must be happy because we are not getting caught by them."

"Oh by the way, why do you plan to invite me to your place?"

"So that I bake you some cupcakes. I know some interesting flavors, we can also experiment with what you want to try."

I saw his big smile. His eyes are likely smiling too. He is really addicted to cupcakes, now I know how to control him. The cupcakes seem to be hypnotizing to him.

"We are one kilometer away from my home. Let us get ready. I advise you to drink more water 'coz we will climb some mountains."

"Mountains? You mean we will gonna hike before we come to the finish line?"

"Exactly. Why? Is there any problem?"

"Nothing. I have just a little phobia."

"No worries, I can lift you. Just stay on my back and just relax exploring the views."

We exited the car and brought our things. I only bring a small bag because I easily get tired. I am not prepared to climb mountains, but thanks to Armando he had an initiative. He really cares for me so much. I think I am falling in love with him.

"Your checks getting red. Are you alright?"

Oh my god. He noticed my face. I don't want to tell a story behind it.

"Maybe I am just thirsty. The weather is new to me, I think my body is adjusting," I lied to him but there is a little truth to it.

"Have some fruit juice. It is fresh and still cold."

Wow! He have an Aquaflask tumbler? Are you kidding me? I thought he was not rich. Why does he have that thing? Amazing! I can say he has a sort of aesthetic vibe. That tumbler is so expensive.

"Thank you for the drink. You also prepared this?"

"Yeah. To be honest, I didn't use any kind of powder. The drink you tasted is a totally pure liquid of a fruit."

"Hhhmm! That is why it is so refreshing. The flavor is so natural."

"That's true. Do you like it?"

"I just don't like it, I love it. It's sweet as your cum."

"Hahaha! You are being naughty. You are lucky we are still on the mountain. Prepare yourself, just stay at my back while lifting you."

I can feel his muscles are flexing. I feel a little insecure about his chest. His chest is so big than my boobs. I feel horny because it's so hard like a rock.

He is sweating. I can smell his body scent, even if he is sweating, he is still very scentful. What soap is he using? What body spray was applied to his body? It is so addicting, I love it.

A minute later I lick his right shoulder. "You are so yummy."

"Not now, my sweetheart. We are now approaching my family's house."

"Sarrehh. I can't stop myself."

"Try to control yourself. In three, two, one... Yaahh!" He put me down on the ground. " We are now here. You can wear now your makeup."

I opened my bag and got the foundation. I applied so fast then I sprayed a eau de parfume all over my body.

We walked shortly until we arrived at a wooden house with a terrace above.

"Hello everyone. It's me, Armando. I am back!"

"Armando! You are here! I missed you!" His little sister hugged him tight.

"Ma, Pa, can we talk?"

Armando's parents wondered at his immediate question. His mother stood up and then came to his front. While his siblings are still staring at him waiting for the next scene.

Hale is uncomfortable with today's situation. He is not good at meeting new people especially the parents of someone. He is thinking of escaping but Armando patted his left hand to notify him to just relax.

"What do you want us to discuss with you? And by the way, you have a girl with you. Why don't you let her in and have her a seat."

"Hello. Good day to both of you." Hale offered respect to Armando's mother by kissing her right hand on it.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Marita, and this is my husband, Brando. Meet also my daughters and kids: Kyla, Lourence, Amy, and Rowena."

"And I am Hale. Nice to meet you all."

Marita excused everyone, she went to the kitchen to prepare some snacks. She turned on the bread toaster and inserted the bread spread with butter and honey.

She picked a jar of cold water from the fridge poured two glasses of water and mixed it with a tablespoon of orange powder. After she prepared some refreshments, she delivered them safely to the living room.

"Hale, Armando. I have made you a bread toast and orange juice. Have some snacks first before we talk about something."

Hale enjoyed the snacks offered to him. The juice is not too sweet and he liked it. The bread toast has a great combination of flavors, he actually enjoyed them.

He acted too calm and didn't show any malicious moves to Armando. He needs to be more careful as he is facing the most respected ones of his boyfriend.

He retained his decency. Nobody can notice how he smiled at Armando. His mind is creating such an imagination, he is thinking what if he and Armando become a legal couple, he will not doubt his love and they can have a ticket to get married.

"So, what's our business? Armando, do you have questions to ask?"

"Uhm... Actually, I invited Hale because here because she is conducting research here. The scope of her study is here in our province. I will be her tour guide to help her with the travel. And also, I will provide some food and accommodation. Would you mind if she sleeps here just tonight?"

"No problem. I thought you had something to confess. Last year, you brought your girlfriend. He was gay and you introduce him to us. We were disappointed because he has a bad record. Our things got stolen by him. I hope you become more careful in bringing a girlfriend."

"Will you just not reminisce the past? I have regrets about that. I don't want to feel how upset I am that time."

"I am so sorry, Armando. I got carried away. Anyway, Hale can stay here. Just let me prepare your bed sheets and clean your room."

~~~

He slept tight last night and enjoyed the sound of nature. That is the reason he immediately slept and relaxed my body. When he opened the window, he saw the mesmerizing sunrise. The cold breeze is so calming.

A few seconds passed, and he departed the room I stayed and then proceeded to the living room. He joined them eating breakfast with crispy and juicy bacon and a special longganisa.

The scene today between Armando and Hale is so freaking awkward. When he looked at him, Hale shied away and looked to another side. Maybe he had an idea why Hale kept ignoring his glare.
