Come Home To You (Book 1 of You Trilogy)

Kabanata 27

"What about our terms and conditions?" 

I twitched my lips to hide my smirk.

I remember before, pareho kaming G na G sa paglalatag ng kondisyon. Yet, parang hindi naman namin nasunod 'yun at all.

"We both know what that was about, sweetheart."

I felt him resting his chin on my neck. His words and his arms, makes me feel like I am on cloud 9. Yes, as corny and as cringy as it sounds. Ganun siguro talaga.

Sa lahat ng lalaking sumubok iparamdam sa'kin ang ganitong klase ng pakiramdam, siya lang ang nagtagumpay. Kahit noon pa man. Si Khalil lang talaga.

"Sus may pa don't fall don't fall ka pa, ah."

"Hmmm. Those were just cover up. Of course I want you to fall for me."

"But you sounded confident that I was still into you, then."

"I'm not. I was hopeful."

"And?"

"I guess it worked."

Hinaplos ng kanyang hinlalaki ang gilid ng aking bewang. It sent me shivers.

"You think so?" I teased

Of course, it's already so obvious. Wala paman akong sinasabi sa kanya, siguro naman halatang kung hindi kami pareho ng nararamdaman ay hindi niya ako mahahawakan ng ganito.

But, since he's 'courting' me, I won't tell him yet. Magpapabebe muna ako ng slight.

We had so much fun in Coron. We stayed there for a week and it was one of the best trips for me. Ang dami naming nagawa. Nag-island hopping, nag kayaking at nag scuba diving. We even mingled with the locals and briefly experienced their culture. I've been in the said enchanting island and I thought I've explored all of it, turned out, it has still so much to offer.

Our meeting is about to start, sweetheart.

I stretched my lips as I read his message. Ang sarap lang sa feeling na ini-inform niya ako sa bawat galaw niya. Not that I am possessive or territorial, maganda lang na sinasabi niya para alam ko kung kailan ko siya ite-text.

Teka Hannah, manliligaw mo palang pero 'love' na? 

To: Love

okay, magfi-film narin kami in a few

I am now in Toni's studio, a well known vlogger who interviews different personalities. She has been reaching out to me for almost a month, after that issue came out, at ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng time at lakas ng loob narin. This is a tell-all interview. 

Napag-usapan na namin ni Khalil na ilabas ang tungkol sa fixed marriage naming dalawa. Well, he insisted we should do it to clear things out. Sang-ayon ako dahil ayoko nang magsinungaling sa mga bananas ko. Besides, we want to get things right, might as well start it out by humbly presenting our mistakes and telling the truth as honest as I can be.

From: Love

Goodluck sweetheart. I love you.

Tumalon ang puso ko at agad akong nagpalobo ng pisngi para pigilan ang pagngiti ng sobra-sobra.

To: Love

Thank you. I love you too :*

Hindi na ako nagtaka nang mag-ring ang aking iphone. Sinagot ko ang tawag habang pina-plantsa ng isang hair dresser ang aking maiksing buhok.
