Walang iba

"Are you excited?"

I jumped and clapped my hands out of excitement. We are going to Laguna later at dawn; it was one of our plans this summer.

Vance pinched my nose and leaned down to kiss my forehead. "You're so cute," he complimented.

I smiled narrowly. "Thank you, mahal! See you later!" I tiptoed, so I could kiss him in his cheek, then I smiled again.

"I love you more," Vance said. He kissed me again on my forehead before waving his hand and walking away. I waited for him to get far before I entered the house and went to my room to pack my things.

We planned to stay there for two days, so we could go to the locations we wanted. Our families knew about our vacation plans; they agreed with it, so there's no problem anymore.

Binuksan ko ang maleta ko at isa-isang nilagay roon ang mga damit na napili kong dalhin. Kinuha ko na rin sa CR 'yong mga essentials na kakailanganin ko at nilagay iyon sa organizer bag; saka ko sinilid sa maleta.

Humiga ako sa kama at iniwan ang lampshade kong nakabukas. Sinubukan kong matulog. Nakailang palit na nga ako ng posisyon ngunit hindi pa rin ako makatulog! Hindi na ako makapaghintay para mamayang madaling-araw!

Sa huli, mas nauna pa akong nagising sa alarm clock ko. Pumasok ako sa CR at naligo na. Pagkatapos, nagsuot ako ng kulay lila'ng long sleeves crop top na may apat na butones sa harapan. Pinaresan ko iyon ng mabulaklaking lila'ng mini skirt na may kaunting split sa kanan kong hita. Nang matapos, sinuot ko 'yong white rubber shoes ko at kwintas na binigay ni Papa sa akin noon.

Nag-apply lang ako ng lip and cheek tint at pagkatapos ay hinatak ko na ang mga dala ko pababa.

Wala pa si Vance kaya inabala ko muna ang aking sarili sa pag-scroll sa Instagram. Tumabi naman sa akin si Diamond kaya hinaplos ko ang kanyang balahibo habang nagse-cellphone ako.

Nang marinig kong huminto ang sasakyan ni Vance sa labas ay tumayo na ako. Hinagkan ko muna ang aking alaga at hinalikan siya sa kanyang noo bago ako lumabas.

Sinalubong ako ni Vance ng halik sa noo bago niya kinuha ang maleta ko upang ilagay iyon sa compartment. Pagkatapos, bumalik siya sa akin para pagbuksan ako ng pinto, saka lumigid para pumasok na sa loob.

He looked at me with a smile. Vance reached for my hand, rested on my lap, and intertwined it with his. "Did you sleep well, my love?"

I waggled my head and laughed a little. "No."

He chuckled and caressed my hand with his thumb. "Me, too. I'm excited to see you."

"Makita ako? E, lagi naman tayo nagkikita, ah? Oras lang 'yong pagitan," ani ko.

"To see you again and be with you," he said; and placed the back of my hand to his lips and kissed it gently.

It was a smooth drive with him. I took a nap when he was driving and only woke up when we stopped for a rest. He never loses a grip on my hand whenever we go.

It wasn't that long drive. After two or three hours, we arrived at the hotel we got and checked in.

Vance tapped the card in the door lock, and we entered the room, carrying our things. It was a spacious room. It has two beds. The double size is near the door—and the queen size is beside the sliding door— where you could find the terrace and watch the view.

It was still early, so after placing our things to the closet, we took a catnap. When we woke up, the sun rays was hitting my skin already.

I faced to my side and found Vance's face. I stared at his angelic face, and a smile emerged on my lips. I looked down at his arms encircled on my waist and also his leg on mine.
