One Last Time
“Why is he so matagal?”
I’m waiting for his call.
Patiently.
For a video call. For him.
‘Elmo Magalona calling.’
“Finally.” I said. Finally.
“Hey. I miss you.” I smiled and nagpa-cute pa sakanya, feeling and looking so in love.
“Hi, baby. I miss you too.” He’s still that Elmo I fell in love with 3 or 4 years ago.
Obviously, he’s in the living room while I’m lying comfortably in the bed.
This is planned. Everything was planned. Maybe, because, this is the last.
“I’ve come up to a more exciting activity, baby.” He said. Too much excitement is evident. He gave me a grin and a smirk, all at the same time.
“What is it?” I asked. Feeling excited and nervous.
I was a liar. I gave in to the fire. I know I should’ve fought it. At least I’m being honest.
Naisip ko na naman.
I was the one who asked for it.
“Will do scissor, paper, stick and stone.” He’s too cute not to feel so giddy.
“Aah. Bato-bato-pik. Pinaganda mo pa. Oh, tapos? What’s the mechanic?” I asked.
“As always, too eager, eh?”
Elmo, why do you give me so much Christian Grey feels with that.
I bit my lower lip.
“Stop.” He said.
I just gave him a look. A questioning look.
“You’re biting your lip.” I get it. And, I wanted to laugh. I know what my lip biting does to him.
“Well, anyways.” Patuloy niya.
“Ayun nga, bato-bato-pik, kung sino ang matalo, will remove anything na suot niya.” He instruct. And he was so hot doing that.
“All right. I’m in, baby, I’m in.” Sagot ko.
Nag-ayos na siya. He positioned his iPad, I think on the table. I put mine on the bedside.
Did I mentioned how hot he is right now? Oh my golly gosh. He is wearing a white v-neck shirt and a tattered jeans. With his eye glasses on.
He is everything that a woman will ask for.
My Elmo.
First round: I got scissor, and he got the stone.
I’m removing my eye glasses.
He smirk and gave me a flirtatious smile.
Second round: I used the scissor again; and unfortunately, he still got the stone.
I’m removing my ponytail.
“Can you do better than that, baby?” He asked.
“Heh!”
Third round: I’ve gotta use the paper now. And he still used the stone.
“What now, baby?” Yabang ko.
“Okay, tsamba.”
He’s removing his white v-neck shirt.
How is it possible to feel so hot after he does that?
Well, ladies and gentlemen, that is Elmo Magalona, my Elmo Magalona. And, that is legal.
Napalunok ako.
“Kaya pa ba, Julie?” He asked, then, he smirked.
I gave in to the fire. I know I should’ve fought it. At least I’m being honest.
Yes, this is Julie Anne.
Fourth round: I’ve got the stone, and he got the stone too.
“Okay, next.” I said.
“No. Not, really.” Pigil niya.
“We both have to remove something.”
Whoa.
Nagulat ako.
“Okay, fine.” Laban ko.
I removed my shirt; leaving my bra. He removed his jeans; leaving him his boxers.
Fifth round: He got the stone, while, I choose to have the scissor.
That leave me with my orange bra and panty on.
I saw it. Napalunok si Elmo.
He can’t handle this anymore. He can’t handle me anymore.
Sixth round: I’m having the paper, he’s having the scissor.
Whoa.
I’m trying to unhook my bra.
Elmo, give me a look; but then, he left.
Nawala siya sa screen.
What the hell.
I know I should’ve fought it. At least I’m being honest.
And, I heard it, a knock on the door.
It was him. It was Elmo.
My Elmo.
“I always dreamt to see you with just your orange bra and panty, because you look so damn hot and beautiful.” He was saying habang lumalapit siya sakin.
“But, I’d be more than glad to unhook this for you.”
Pinalitan ng maiinit na palad ni Elmo yung bra ko. He is massaging both of my breast in a slow phase.
I moaned.
I miss this feels. This feels I got from him.
One last time. I need to be. The one. Who takes you. Home.
This isn’t the first time. Me and Elmo. But, we are each other’s first.
He made me face him. I put his eye glasses aside.
And, we’re on his bed. On his condo.
I moaned his name. And he brings me to heaven. Yet, again.
I need this. I need him.
Because, this is the last time.
Elmo.
Elmo still has Janine.
He still have her. Still.
One last time. I need to be. The one. Who takes you. Home.
Nagpahinga lang kami saglit. Nakahiga kami sa kama niya. Nasa kanan siya; nasa kaliwa ako.
“I miss you. I miss us.” Sabi ni Elmo.
That made me miss us as well.
I kiss him; hungrily, as if he’ll be gone any minute.
I’m gonna ride him. I’m on top now.
That made him moan “aahhs” and “oohhs”; and he also scream my name – Julie.
I wanted to give him a blow. A first and the last.
“No.” He said. He is so firm.
I asked why.
“Just don’t.”
I feel like a failure. I know that I’d fail you. I should’ve done you better.
“Did they give you one before?” I asked; he nod, confirming it.
“Why don’t you let me?”
“I respect you way too much, Julie.” I felt his sincerity.
But, I am nothing but hurt. I lay down to his bed. Beside him.
“Why did you leave me, Elmo? Why did you stop wanting me?” I asked.
“I did not, Julie.”
“What are you saying?”
“You are the one who leave, Julie. You are the one who ask me to stop.”
“No. Elmo, no.” I am screaming because he got everything wrong.
I started to cry.
“Stop crying, baby.” He is kissing my tears away.
“Elmo, I want you.”
I need to be the one who takes you home. One more time after that I promise I’d let you go.
Elmo is rocking the bed. His hands on the sheet; my hands on his hair.
We are making love. Yes, love.
This is the best sex ever. And, the last.
“Elmo, I’m sorry.”
“You don’t have to say you’re sorry.”
He smiled at me and then kiss me on the lips.
“Just say you love me, Julie.”
Elmo, I do, I love you. But, what is it for? Isn’t it too late?
“Just say it, baby.”
“This is the last time, Elmo. I don’t want to be hurt anymore.”
I need to be the one who takes you home. One more time after that I promise I’d let you go.
“Julie Anne, mahal na mahal pa rin kita.”
I was speechless. He always does that. He always made me speechless.
“I will choose you, Julie.”
I need to be. I need to be the one. I need to be the one who takes you; Home.
“I love you, Elmo. I love you.”
One more time.
“Julie, I am home with you.”
