LIAM’S POV

“Hindi na ba masama ang pakiramdam mo ngayon, iha?”

“Hindi na po. Salamat nga pala sa pag-alaga niyo sa’kin rito...”

My ears pricked up when I heard those voices from outside of my room. I know it was dad and Suzy talking right now.

Simula kahapon ng pagtulungan nila akong dalawa ni mom sa room nito, hindi ko na uli ito nakausap pa. Dahil sa mga inaayos ko na problema sa tinatayong bagong branch ng hotel namin dito, I have to be either in hotel or in my room most of the time.

“It was fine, iha. Liam brought you here so it was just right na alagaan ka namin rito.”

I groaned when I heard dad replied that. Oh yes. Talagang ako nga ang nagdala niya rito kaya naman palagi nalang akong nalilintikan ni mom.

“By the way, hindi mo ba gustong lumabas ngayon? You were unable to enjoy the beach the other day dahil nagkasakit ka. And now that you’re fine, ba’t hindi ka kaya lumabas at magsaya naman?”

“Oh no. Kahapon pa po ‘tong snow kaya ang ginaw po ngayon kapag lalabas pa’ko. And where would I even go now sa ganitong malamig ang panahon?”

“Well, you can just go walked around here. Enjoy the snow dahil wala ito sa pinas. At baka pagsisihan mo pa ang pagkakataong ‘to pag-uwi mo. Or else, pwede ka ring mag ice skates dito. There are lots of ice skating spots here. Just make sure to wear the warmest clothes when you do that para hindi ka uli magkasakit.”

My brow shot up when I heard that, lalo na nang marinig ko ng tumawa ito ngayon sa sinabing ‘yon ni dad.

Excitement was visible in her laugh.

Ohh.. Snow and ice skating?

Bakit nga ba hindi niya gawin ‘yon? I’m certain it would be funny to see her kept falling in her first attempts to find her balance on her skates.

Oh no. Mukhang kailangan ka niya kapag ganun man, Liam. Kailangan niya ng aalalay at yayakapin niya kapag matutumba na ito.

And I would be more than willing to lend myself for her. Tingnan lang natin kung hindi pa niya hahanap-hanapin ang katawan ko ‘pag uwi namin sa Pinas.

With her kept responding in my every kisses, I’m certain it won’t be long at papayag na rin agad ito sa gusto ko.

Well, ‘yan naman talaga ang plano sa simula pa man. Make her mine and accept my offer to be my woman.

Just the thought of the possibilities that she was close to finally giving into my charm, I couldn’t help but feel excited with it while grinning to myself.

Good thing I was almost done with my job here kaya pwedeng-pwede ko na itong ipasyal mamaya before we’d even fly back to the Philippines tomorrow.

Glancing down at my wristwatch, I nodded my head in satisfaction when it was just the two in the afternoon.

Okay. I still have enough time para tapusin ang trabaho ko.

Still grinning in excitement, ipinagpatuloy ko na agad ang ginagawa.

SUZY’S POV

I groaned in annoyance when someone kept knocking on my door, disturbing me from my sleep. I’m sure hindi ito si Mrs. Montero dahil hindi naman ito ganito kumatok na parang nagmamadali.

Blowing out a breath, bumangon na’ko agad and then strode towards the door while stomping my feet.
Unlocking the doorknob, binuksan ko na agad ang pintuan.
