CHAPTER 32

'IT'S HER BIRTHDAY'

ALTHYS TOKUGAWA

I WOKE up because of the sunlight that landed on my face, Art was beside me and he's peacefully sleeping.However, his face has some sort of powder on it and he's also topless plus he's only wearing a black apron.

I stare at him for a whole five minutes and he look so exhausted, I flinch when he slowly opened his eyes and stare directly to my sleepy eyes.

"Goodmorning baby, Happy Birthday" he said that made me smile

"You know?" tanong ko sakanya

"Of course, how could I not?I have a surprise for you" he slowly get out of our bed

Nang makababa siya sa kama ay pumunta siya sa tabi ko saka inalok ang kamay n'ya na agad kong tinanggap, we both walk downstairs and he made me sat on the dining area.

"What's the surprise?" tanong ko ulit

"Close your eyes" aniya na agad ko namang sinunod

It took him a few minutes before letting me open my eyes again.

"Surprise!Do you like it?Make a wish and blow the candle" he said with his voice full of excitement

I closed my eyes and put my hands together, "I hope that my family in heaven will guide the three of us, me, kuya Cy and Ceya to our journey until death meet us."

I blow the candle that made Art clap his hands while smiling, lumakad siya papalapit saakin at hinalikan ang noo ko.Gamit ang dalawa n'yang kamay ay hinawakan n'ya ang pisngi ko saka ako tinitigan sa mata.

"Happy Birthday" he said with his low yet deep voice

"Thank you" I answered while my eyes are focused on his

Those green eyes of him are always sparkling whenever he sees me, I wanna be with him forever.I've admit my mistakes to him but my brother doesn't know it yet, would he be mad?Will he hate me for admitting all the things i've done?

I wanna be with Art but what if he's the last one who'll prove me that love is really bullshit? What if he's just getting revenge because of what i've done to his business?What if he's just making me fall inlove because of the Dawn Pieces game?Or he's just making me feel safe because it's his responsibility in the cards?

Are those green eyes lying to me?

"You're thinking again, Cy was really right" he said before pinching my nose

Kunot noo ko siyang tinignan dahil sa nabanggit n'ya.

"What's with kuya?"

"Bukang bibig ka n'ya noon, you really never stop thinking about things" nakangiti n'yang sabi na ikinatawa ko

"Hindi ko din alam kung papaano titigilan saka Art.. I don't eat cakes" sabi ko at nilingon ang cake na nasa mesa

"You don't eat frosting, that's a moist chocolate cake — there's only hard chocolate on top and there's no cream inside." aniya saka may kinuha sa counter
