Every Bullet

Chapter Forty Five

Crystal

I woke up feeling free as I glanced at Magnus who's peacefully sleeping beside me, embracing me while resting his head on my chest, I shook my head amusingly and laughed a little when I felt him sniffled. "Good morning." I greeted, caressing his hair.

He opened his right eye, checking me out before smiling widely. He sniffled again, probably smelling me and embraced me more tightly than the usual. "Good morning." He hid his face on my stomach and chuckled. "I love waking up next to you."

Damn it, he still smells so good even his breath. Gosh, God really has his favorites.

I playfully smacked his arm. "Bumangon ka na, magt-tooth brush pa ako." I said as I tried to get away from his embrace but he just shook his head as a 'no' and pouted. "ih, dito ka muna." He whined making me laugh.

Ang cute, bwiset parang hindi ako inano eh— basta.

He's still whining like a child, gripping on my waist as I laughed at his cuteness. "Stop na love, let me go na po..." I pouted, he glanced at me and smiled widely after seeing me somewhat whining. "Let's just brush our teeth together na lang po, let's go?"

"Yes!" he excitedly got off the bed and carried me towards the bathroom, tied my hair into a bun and gave me my toothbrush with a toothpaste of course. "Brush your teeth na po."

I nodded and began brushing my teeth along with him, I laughed when I saw him making faces on the mirror. He raised a brow at me before taking my toothbrush and brushed my teeth. "Mumog na, love." He said after finishing brushing my teeth.

Agad akong nagmumog at hinintay siyang matapos. He took the towel and wiped it on my face. "You can take a bath here, we have shower naman and I'll take a bath at the other bathroom in the other rooms." Ginulo niya ang buhok ko at tuwang tuwa na pinisil ang pisngi ko na nagpasimangot saakin. "Now, I want you to smile kasi may pupuntahan tayo, may ipapakita ako sayo."

Curiosity were visible on my face as I raised a brow at him, confused. "Huh? What is it?"

He shook his head and pinched my nose. "It's a surprise." He winked before going out of the bathroom. I shrugged and began bathing.

Whatever he's planning, I know I'll enjoy it naman. He never failed to amuse me and make me feel special. One thing that I really love about him is he doesn't lack in actions and words. I love how he manages my personality which I'm not proud of but I'm still happy that he's keeping his promise to stay.

I sighed and fixed myself as soon I finished taking a bath, I wore a long dress and put on a light make up, sprayed perfume and waited for Magnus to enter the room. "Love, tie my hair please." I asked him and handed him the tie, he nodded and went near me.

He took my hairbrush and began brushing my hair, softly and tied it into a ponytail perfectly. I gave him a smile and faced him. "Thank you!" I said as I scanned him, I almost gulped on how hot he is.

He's wearing a tank top and a short which is in his knee length while wearing that simple shoes. I gasped and looked at him in awe after I saw how built his muscles and biceps are— what the fuck?!

"Let's go? We'll take the bicycle." He held my hand and we left the room, he locked the house before going to the backyard and rode the bike.

He assisted me to sit as he placed my arms around his stomach to prevent me from falling. "Hold on to me, I don't want you to fall but no worries, I'll be careful." He softly said as he began pedaling.

I inhaled fresh air as I stared at the fields and the Mayon Volcano who's perfectly seen and getting prettier with the sunrise. I smiled as I closed my eyes and let the cold breeze of air embrace me.

Now this is what peace feels like. Living happily with Magnus, no problems, no fights, no guns, no illegal things, just pure happiness and love.

I didn't even noticed that we stopped because I'm ay too occupied looking at the Volcano admiring how beautiful and dangerous it is at the same time. My brows furrowed as I looked around and saw a bunch of flowers, my smile grew wide and ran towards the flowers, touching it, admiring it.

"It's so pretty in here! Look at the flowers, love!"' I excitedly pointed the sunflowers and smelled them, I spin on the field of the flowers but stopped when I saw Magnus just sitting on the grass, staring at me.

Nagtaka ako nang kunin niya ang isang bag at binuksan ito, my eyes widened in shock, I looked at him with wide eyes and looked back at the painting tools again it's a complete set.

He knows how to paint?!

Fucking hell.

"I actually love painting if you're wondering, my grandfather taught me how to paint but I stopped when my mom died, I lacked in inspiration..." he sighed, fixing the stand and smiled at me. "And now that you're finally herewith me, I had courage to paint again." He fixed the strand of my hair.

"You would be the best art I'll ever see and paint, your beauty is unmatchable and I could watch you all day."

"Paint me, then."

He nodded as I strike a simple pose, I sat on the grass and put the sunflower on the right side of my eye and smiled at him. I didn't even move and just admire his beauty, I just stared at him painting me passionately and skillful. He moves the brush like a pro and is smiling while painting me, he glanced at me and gave me flying kiss.

He still look so handsome while painting and the sincerity will always be there.

I let out a deep breath as I saw how happy he is finally painting again, I can see purity and happiness in his eyes. His eyes whom I love to stare at because I can see the whole galaxy in it and the pure love is there.

I'm so afraid to hurt him, I don't want him to lose his precious smile, I don't want to hurt such an angel but I'm willing to risk everything for him because I know he'll do it for me too.

Every Bullets, I'll take it for him when it's needed.

He excitedly hopped a little and smiled at me. "I finished a painting again!" he happily announced as he stared at the painting and proudly went near me. "I've always wanted to paint you and this is the right time."

"Thank you." I muttered as I nervously took the canvas and smiled after seeing it, it's perfect and my features are really visible.

I felt my tears rushing down to my cheeks as I tried so hard not to sob.

"You didn't like it—" His face began to worry and question why the fuck am I crying but I just shook his head and smiled at him.

You're so genuine.

"This is the first time someone painted me, I love it, and I love it so much." I threw myself in his arms as I stared at the canvas again, I bit my lower lip and smiled, adoring how pretty his painting is.

"You're so amazing and talented, I love you so much." I said, still crying. I heard him laughed and wiped my tears, he intertwined our hands together and admired the flowers together.

He's so good to be true, he's too good for me but screw it, I'll keep him.

He stared at me, letting my head rest on his shoulder. "You're so beautiful, the flowers are beautiful, and the sunrise were beautiful which made the painting more special."
