Chapter 53 - That’s why I kissed you on purpose
We left Dr. Perez in that aile.
It was a good thing that there were no other customers around to see us. My face kept burning until we reached the cashier and the professor started placing the products on the counter. All the while, he kept his arm around me, his warmth, so comfortable, that I wanted to lean my head on his shoulder and let him embrace me completely.
But we were in a public place, and I know that it was inappropriate behavior.
“O, ba’t ang tahimik mo?” he asked as we left the grocery store.
“Nothing.”
“Ano? Galit ka ba dahil baka kung anong chismis ang ikalat ni Pretzel tungkol sa `tin?” he asked. “Kita mo nga, o, nananakit pa rin pisngi ko! Napalakas ang sampal mo!”
“No,” I replied, “I doubt he would tell a soul, since he doesn’t seem to want to believe in what he saw.”
The professor laughed and hugged me as I pushed our cart towards the parking lot.
“Tama ka, `di ko akalain na may sariling mundo pala ang pretzel na `yun, biro mo, ni `di ako napansin kanina? Talagang ikaw lang ang nakikita ni loko!”
“I think he ignored you on purpose.”
“I know,” he grinned. “That’s why I kissed you on purpose.”
He kissed me again, on the cheek this time. I faced him, look at him through lowered lids, and as our lips touched, I couldn’t help but feel ecstatic, that the professor I look up to has finally told someone about our relationship.
But our kiss was rudely interrupted by the professor’s ring tone.
He took his phone and brightened up when he saw who was calling.
“Ah, sandali, tumatawag ang bebe Meme ko!”
He quickly tapped the accept button.
‘Hello? Tito Eric?’ said a childish voice from the phone.
“Hello, bebe Meme! Kamusta na ang favorite niece ko!” the professor answered back.
I placed my ear near his phone to listen to their conversation.
‘Okay naman po, tito! Kayo po kamusta na rin?’
“Eto, miss na miss na kayong mga pamangkin ko, lalo na ikaw baby, ba’t ka napatawag?”
His cheesy lines irritate me.
‘May itatanong po si kuya tungkol sa mga omega.’
There was a pause as the phone was handed to someone else.
‘Hello po, tito?’ said a husky male voice.
“O, ano `yun?” replied the professor in a much duller tone.
‘Tito, itatanong ko lang po kung may alam kayo tungkol sa dominant omegas?’
Professor Antonio paused.
We looked at each other, wide-eyed.
“Saan ka naman nakarinig ng ganoon?” he asked his nephew.
‘May nabasa lang po ako...’
“Saan? Anong libro? Sino’ng author?” the professor asked.
‘W-wala... actually... nakita ko lang... meron po bang dominant talaga sa mga omega?’
Professor Antonio looked at me again. I shrugged at him.
“Ahh... mahaba-habang usapan `yan, buti pa, bisitahin n’yo `ko bukas, para mapaliwanag ko sa iyo nang mabuti.”
‘Ah, ganoon ba—‘
“Isama mo ang baby Meme ko ha! Miss na miss ko na s’ya!” he addded hurriedly. “Sige, bukas hintayin ko kayo after lunch sa office ko. Goodbye.”
“Why did you drop the call so suddenly?” I asked him, “You should have asked him more where his information came from.”
“Okay ka lang? Pano kung may nakikinig sa usapan namin?” he whispered, “Isa pa, may pagka-sira-ulo ang pamangkin kong `yun, kung sasabihan ko s’ya sa telepono, baka mamaya i-post pa n’ya `yun sa social media acounts n’ya, mas mabuti `yung harapan natin s’yang kausapin at balaan, para malaman agad natin kung saan galing ang balita n’yang `yun!”
“Hmm... but tomorrow we have a meeting in the morning...”
“Ikaw na lang pumunta, alam mo naman na ayoko nang magpunta sa mga punyetang meetings na `yan.”
“Okay, where do you want to eat?” I asked him instead.
We got home at half past 9. The proffesor went straight to the laboratory.
“Are you going to do another experiment?” I asked him.
“Yeah... may naisip lang ako’ng gusto ko’ng subukan...”
“About what?”
“About a new suppressant. This time gagamit ako ng all natural ingredients, para p’wede s’yang gamitin ng athletes without worrying about illegal substances na maaring lumabas sa physical exam nila.”
“Ah, is that what you’ve been thinking about all day?”
“Oo... balak ko’ng gumamit ng herbal medicine, kaya lang isa sa mga ingredients na naisipan ko ay c******s ... balak ko’ng maghanap ng ibang gamot na pampakalma na di kasing bigat ng juts ang epekto.”
“But professor, aren’t you tired already? Why not rest for a while?” I touched his arm.
“Okay lang ako, pagawa na lang ng kape...” he looked at me, ”P’wede na ako’ng mag-kape, `di ba? marami na `kong nainom na tubig buong araw!”
“Okay, but I really think you should go to bed early,” I placed both hands on his shoulders.
“Hindi pa `ko inaantok...”
“But yesterday and the day before that, you hardly had a couple of hours sleep...”
“Maaga ako’ng matutulog mamaya...”
“That’s what you said the other night, you went to the office half asleep and ended up napping through lunch break.” I placed my arms across his chest.
“Ay, nako, Habibi, sabihin mo lang kung gusto mo ko’ng makasama sa kama.”
“I didn’t say that, I just want you to get more sleep.”
“Eh, kakakain ko lang, `di pa ko p’wedeng matulog.”
“Right, we should rest first.”
I pulled him to our room. I have long replaced the double bed to a king size so we could comfortably fit in it. I sat him on the bed and proceeded to take his work clothes off.
“Nako, ha, mukhang may binabalak ang Habibi ko,” he grinned at me. ”Nabitin ka ba sa kiss natin kanina?”
“Go to the bathroom and change, I’ll go after you.” I answered instead.
“Sabay na tayo,” he held me close and kissed my nape. “gusto ko na rin paghahalikan ang Habibi ko...”
We went to the bathroom to prepare ourselves.
“Uy, nalimutan nating bumili ng toothpaste! `Di mo pinaalala!”
“There is still a little toothpaste left.”
“Magmumog ka na lang ng mouthwash.”
“You just want my breath to be minty.”
“S’yempre, para mamaya,” he grins at me and kissed my nose.
“Go wash yourself first,” I pointed at the tub.
“Sabay tayong maligo.”
Later, we’re both naked in the tub. I had my back to the professor who combed my hair with his long fingers and nuzzled my nape. It felt so comfortable, lying on his chest, that soon I was nodding off.
“O, `wag mo `ko tulugan! Halika na nga at lumalamig na ang tubig.”
We dried ourselves off and went to our room where the professor gently pulled me after him. He lay on the bed with me on top of him. He caressed my face as I stradle him and rub his chest.
All the exercise paid off. He may not be as buff as I am, but at least he’s not as soft as he used to be.
“Ano, happy ka na ba? May nakaalam na ng relasyon natin?” he asked me.
I nod and kiss him gently.
“`Wag ka nang magtatampo, ha?” he stroke my hair, tucking it behind my ear, then caressed my lips before kissing me back.
Sex with the professor is always gentle, sensual and passionate. He may not be the best partner in bed, but I always feel treasured when I am with him.
I trail my kisses down his chest and slowly made my way between his legs. He’s all hard now, and he moaned as I mouthed him.
“Ahh... minty fresh...”
His hips move as I suck him until he quivers and releases his seeds in my mouth.
“Halika na rito...”
He pulls me up and places my arms around his neck. His hands slide down my back and go round my buttocks as we kiss, his hardness rubbing against me. I close my eyes and feel him slip inside as I lower myself.
He thrusts inside me as well, going deeper, panting as he moves faster. His embrace got tighter, until he could not hold back anymore and his hot seeds burst inside me. I gasp as he pushed me on the bed, moving behind me, thrusting even deeper.
“Ughn... Aahmes... Aahmes...”
He only calls my name when we are having s*x.
“Professor, go faster...”
He slips his arms around my waist and lifts my hips higher, thrusting even harder inside me.
“Aaah... that’s it, professor...” I sink my fingers into the covers. I’m almost at my limit.
“Haa... Ahh... Aahmes...”
He kissed me all over as he fell on my back. Again I feel his delicious heat spread inside me. I snuggle in his chest then, happy and well content until I fall asleep, thinking that I could stay like this forever.
I am by the professor’s side, by the person I look up to the most, what more can I ask for? What more would I need?
