______________________________
After eating lunch, we decided to have a movie marathon. Nakatatlong movie na kami when I heard him snoring.

It's not that loud, it's actually cute. I smiled and look at his face.

His laying in the sofa while he uses my lap as a pillow. I gently run my fingers through his hair.

Suddenly, his phone started ringing.

☏Mom calling...

It's his mom. Nagising si Travis and he answered the call. I sat there silently.

"Ma?" Travis said as he look at me. He mouthed to continue what I'm doing with his hair.

"Your home?" Tanong niya.
"Okay. Take care. I'll see you tomorrow." He paused for a while.
"I love you." He said before ending the call.

"Mom just got home from a business trip." He said and he closed his eyes again.

"Sana ol umuuwi mama." Biro ko. "Hey. She'll be back." Sagot niya. I smiled bitterly and just shrug it off.

"Uuwi ka bukas?" Tanong ko para maiba 'yung topic. "Oum. Sama ka?" Tanong niya pabalik. He's now smirking.

"Hindi pwede."
Napamulat siya ng mata nung marinig niya 'yung sagot ko.
"Bakit?" Naka-kunot noo niyang tanong.

"Finals na for this sem next month, love." Sagot ko. "So?" Takang tanong niya.

"Sasamahan ko kasi si George. Kailangan niyang matapos this school year 'yung P.E. subject."

"Bakit?" Tanong niya tapos pumikit siya ulit.

"Last sem kasi, hindi niya tinake yung P.E. 3. Kaya ngayon, sinasabay niya sa P.E. 4." Sagot ko naman.

"Next school year niya dapat iteteke. Kaso ayon, natakot nung biglang binalaan na hindi gagraduate ang akla kaya." Natatawang dagdag ko.

Napakatamad kasi ng baklang 'yon. Tapos ngayong second sem siya nagagahol.

"Time flies so fast. Next few months we'll be 4th year." He suddenly said.

Bigla tuloy akong napaisip. "Love."
"Uhm?"

"Paano ka nakatransfer? It's almost end of the semester. I'm just curious." Tanong ko.

"Ah. That. My father has connections. He's friends with the School's President." Sagot niya.

"Wow. Lakas naman pala, love. " I joked.
"He owes my father." He said while smirking. It's a half-meant joke I guess.

I'm looking at him and he's looking at me. I smiled and asked why?

"Nothing. You're gorgeous." He said seriously and he suddenly mov my hair out of my face and tucked it in my ears.

"Binobola mo nanaman ako." I said. "Of course not, love. I can even stare at you everyday." Sagot niya naman kaya mejj nag-blush ako. Mejj lang.

"Anong oras tayong pupunta sainyo, love?" Tanong niya habang bumabangon sa pag-kakahiga.

Pinatay ko naman ang TV dahil wala na kaming balak manood.

"6? Before lunch mga ganon." I answered.

Tumingin siya sa orasan kaya nakatingin din ako.
It's 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
"We still have lots of time." sabi ko sakaniya.

"Why don't we go out and buy something for our father." Sabi niya naman.

"What? Our father?" Natatawang tanong ko. "Why? I told you I'll marry you."
