Be Mine

76

The morning sun is shining down on Lianna's face that caused for her to wake up. As she opens her eyes, she saw the familiar white curtains that only that specific room has. She moved her eyes around and confirmed that she is not in her condo unit, but in her parents' house. The house that she grew up in.

Lia was about to move when she noticed the sparkle on her finger that caught her attention. This instantly gave a smile on her face.

It wasn't a dream. Caloy proposed. We're engaged!

She gazed at the ring again on her finger as she finally had the time to stare at its beauty. Its simplicity is what makes it perfect in her eyes. She never had an idea of what kind of an engagement ring she likes because to be honest with herself, she never pictured her dream proposal. It's always a wedding scene that pops in her mind.

The ring around her finger is just flawless and it feels surreal wearing one. She tried to remember what happened last night after she said yes to Caloy.

As she lets go from Caloy's hug, they were both wiping the tears off their faces. They chuckle as they realize what happened and she felt another kiss from him on her forehead. All she knows is that her heart is beating like crazy. She finally looked around and saw every guest taking a photo or video of them.

Bianca and Ella quickly approached her, as well as Oliver and Anton, who went for Caloy. The girls both hugged her and saw how her two best friends were also wiping their tears away.

"Congratulations, Lily!!!" Ella exclaims while hugging her.

"Bakla ka ng taon, Mars! Ikakasal ka na!" Bianca's turn to greet her.

She giggles. "Thank you!" she says, since it's the only thing that came out of her mouth. She is still in shock of what just happened. As she pulls out of their hug, she felt Bianca and Ella holding her left hand, going gaga over her ring.

"Congratulations, Pare!" The boys greet Caloy with hugs.

"Thank you!" Caloy says and pats Oliver on the shoulder. "Thanks for singing, Oliver."

The girls looked at them. "Wait, you guys know? Babes?" Ella asked her husband in disbelief.

Anton nodded. "Oo naman. Kaya nga inangkin ko yung mic kanina. Nasa script namin yun para makasingit si Oliver and Caloy."

Oliver and Caloy chuckles. She smiled at how her friends are also finding out about everything.

"Ang galing! Hindi kami sinali! Nagtatago ka na ng secret sa akin ngayon, Oliver!" Bianca playfully pinches her boyfriend.

Oliver wraps his arm around his girlfriend. "Sorry, Baba! Ayaw ipasabi ni Caloy. Baka daw madulas kayo kay Lia eh."

"Kapal mo! Di naman ako madaldal! Slight lang." Bianca says which made them all laugh.

One by one, her other guests, which are the café staff, went up to her and Caloy, giving their congratulatory messages.

The party resumed with more singing, eating, and drinking. The celebration is now for their engagement. Lia can't remember how many bottles of wine and beer were popped open, as everyone kept having a lot of fun. It's her most memorable night to date.

Lia felt kisses, nipping her neck, and a hand that slowly snaked its way under the garment that she is wearing. She smiles at his gesture and scoots closer to him.

"Good morning, future Mrs. Concepcion." Caloy whispers in her ear and kisses it. The tickling feeling makes her giggle.

She moves her head to face him. "Good morning, too, future husband!" She says and pulls him close so she can place a kiss on his lips.
