Kagat-kagat ni Krislene ang ibabang labi habang nasa byahe sila ni Dylan papunta sa lugar kung saan nya kikitain ang mga naging kaibigan nya sa Cebu, or two of her band members to be exact.

Supposed to be, they're going to her happy place pero hindi nya alam na nasa Manila na pala ang dalawa. Hindi naman kasi ito nagsabi sa kanya na ngayon mismo ang dating ng mga ito. Basta ang alam nya, balak bumisita ng mga ito sa kanya hoping that they can change her mind with regards to her decision not to go back in Cebu. But she's already decided. She'll stay with her family, mostly with her beloved King.

But she knew that Dylan is really dissapointed right now. Pangalawang beses na kasi na hindi sila matuloy-tuloy sa pagpunta nila sa happy place nya. He's just silent the whole ride and when she looked at him, he's often clenching his jaw and he keeps on sighing.

Nakokonsensya naman tuloy sya.

"Dylan ko?"

"Hmm?" He just hummed in response while his eyes are fixed on the road.

"Gusto mo ba sabihin ko nalang na sa susunod na kami magkita? Para matuloy na tayo sa happy place ko."

Dylan glanced at her and smiled then intertwined their hands, "It's okay Lene."

"No." Krislene pouted. "I know it's not okay. Naka-set na kasi yung pagpunta natin sa happy place ko eh."

"It's not that my Queen." Dylan said then kissed the back of her hand. And honestly, it made her heart hammered inside her chest. He's being sweet and understanding right now.

And I can't help but to fall inlove over and over again.

Then Dylan continued, "I honestly want to get this over with. I mean, para wala nang iistorbo sa atin sa mga susunod na araw. I'm just..."

"You're what my King?"

Dylan sighed, "I'm jealous?"

Krislene chuckled, "You're not sure?"

"I am jealous Krislene Raye. Imagine, you've been with that guy for one and a half year. Kung hindi kita sinaktan sana ako ang kasama mo sa isa't-kalahating taon na 'yon. Heck! I should be the one who's by your side for that two and a half years." Dylan said while gritting his teeth from time to time.

"Hey don't say that my King. It was my decision and I admit, I was wrong. I mean, tinakbuhan ko yung sitwasyon kahit naman hindi dapat. Besides, don't feel jealous my King hmm? Kasi kahit naman kasama ko sila, ikaw at ang pamilya ko ang nasa puso ko. Mahal na mahal ko kayo eh. Lalo naman ikaw. Kahit sino pang lalaki ang makilala ko, ikaw lang ang nandito sa puso ko, ang lalaking mahal na mahal ko. Pangako 'yan."

And there, looks like she made Dylan feel better and at ease because she saw his 'makalaglag-panty' smile.

"I'm really whipped." Dylan said then shooked his head. "You really have the power to make me always feel better my Queen."

"I'm glad I still have the power to make you feel better. Kaya huwag ka nang grumpy okay? Always remember, I'm very loyal to you. And it's you that I love, alright?"

"Okay." And again, Dylan kissed her hand. "And I love you more Lene, so very much."

Iyon lang naman ang makapag-papagaan ng loob ng isang Dylan Kingsley. Assuring him that he's really loved, one hundred and one percent. At ang pagmamahal ni Krislene? If infinity exists, that'll be her love for Dylan, her own ocean.
