Every Bullet

Chapter Forty Seven

Crystal

"Uh, where are we going?" I asked him after getting inside the car, putting the seatbelt on as I gazed at him from head to toe— well, he's gorgeous.

We're always on a trip. Well, at least we're enjoying the limited freedom we have right now cause once we go back to manila, I'll be waiving to my responsibilities—and by means of responsibilities, I mean it's the illegal.

"Alright, I'm telling you so you don't have to pout." He chuckled and started driving as soon as he puts the seatbelt on. He gazed at me, shaking his head a little and smiled with his teeth shown. "We're going to Cagsawa Ruins!" He excitedly said making me a little bit confused but okay.

I mean, there's a lot of amazing places here in Albay that's really worth to go for and I bet that us going to the Cagsawa Ruins will be enjoyable too.

I honestly don't know anything about other places since I've never gone to a vacation since I'm busy with the duties as the future Queen of the mafias. I'm not complaining though.

Or maybe I am.

"Want to sleep first, hmm?" he asked, checking if I'm feeling fine or what. I almost flinched when he suddenly stopped the car alongside the road and checked my temperature from my forehead. '"do you want to rest first?"

"I shook my head and laughed. "What the fuck are you talking about? I'm doing alright, love." I assured him but he just raised both his eyebrows at me, not believing what I uttered.

"I mean, it will not be shocking for you not to feel well since we really went heard last nigh— ouch!" I smacked his arm and glared at him. He pouted and went back to his seat after laughing. "What? It's true though—"

"You'll drive or I'll smack your head on the steering wheel?"

Unti unting nanlaki ang mga mata at agad na pinaandar ang kotse, I even saw how he swallowed hard which made me laughed out loud, enjoying. "Love, too violent ha." He glared at me, sulking even.

I laughed at his cuteness and rested my head on the seat. I sighed as I looked for chocolates, well not the chocolates like toblerone or dairy milk but the tsokolate which used for the champorado. It tastes so good kasi.

"The tsokolate is in the bag." I heard him say but I just nodded and took the bag. I quickly took the chocolate and took a bite. "Slow down, love."

I don't why I'm really into tsokolates right now but ever since he cooked champorado, I started liking it. Maybe I like it because the neighbors gave it to us kindly. Damn, they're such good people, opposite for what and who I am.

What can I do? This is my first time eating this and I'm loving it. I should probably buy some pasalubongs for my parents later and for Leon since he had been a great right hand.

I bit my lower lip as I remembered how my parents found Leon. He's from the orphanage and we're just visiting the sisters and then we saw him there, a total loner, distant from the others and not that very smiley person. He's always so serious even when we adopted him and helped him study on the states along with me. Leo is actually very smart— t's obvious since he's the techie on the casa.

Web were actually inseparable, doing crimes together and even fighting with each other, he sometimes won since he's a good fighter too. We graduated high school together but he decided to focus on the casa that's why I'm all alone with Brie in that University.

Leon, I call him Leo most of the time and I had a huge fight before which led him to stay away from me and work for Athena's family that's why he were with them but of course, he's been my best friend since then so there's no way we'll make it up for each other.

I honestly feel sorry for him. I just wished that we didn't adopt him because he honestly deserves a happy family, away from the crimes, away from us. But it's too late...

"Love, we're here."

I came back in the reality when I heard Magnus's voice. I didn't even realized that I was spacing out thinking how happy Leo maybe is right now if we didn't adopt him. I should have asked Mom and Dad to not involve him in this kind of business but I can't and I am regretting it.

I smiled at him and nodded. I got out the car and instantly roamed my eyes, I almost gasped when I saw how clear the Volcano is from here. I can't even hide the excitement in my face as I ran towards the big rocks and took a picture of how perfect and beautiful the Mayon Volcano is.

I heaved as sigh and went near the Ruins. I read the texts and took a picture of it. I even took a lot of selfies until I felt Magnus's hand wrapped around my waist and smiled at the camera.

I gestured him to pose beside the Ruins which he obliged and smiled freely on the camera, he even stroked two more poses which made me laughed but I just took a picture of him. One is doing a peace sign, one is pouting and the other one is winking which is honestly very cute— and the other girls are finding it cute too making me irritated.

"I'm yours, Crystal." He whispered and guided me towards the big rock and let me sat there. He gestured me to strike some poses which I did. I did peace signs, I'm even laughing, but he took it so beautifully so no complains and the last one is flying kiss which made him laughed genuinely and muttered, 'ang cute' many times.

He even asked a kid to take some pictures of us which the kid responded, 'sige po' which made me smiled, for real. I never smile for children but he's so kind and I love it.

"You're so beautiful po!"

I felt my heart warmed by his compliment and went down on my knees so I can be as the same height as him. "Really?"

He nodded multiple times, smiling. "Opo! You're so beautiful po! I wish po I can find someone as pretty and cool as you po someday."

Oh kid you don't want to.

That made me smiled and caressed his head. "Thank you so much.." I said, softly as I stroke his hair and went back to Magnus who's smiling while watching the two of us.

"You're going to be a great mother someday."

No, I won't but I'll try to.

"But of course, with my child." Attitude niyang sabi na nagpatawa saakin.

We both smiled for the camera, doing the v poses couples of times, pouting and even tried the jumping thing but failed. I laughed and thanked the kid before giving him chocolates, a dairy milk kind of chocolate. "Thank you!" I waived at him and smiled at his parents.

Lucky them. I hope they take good care of him and make him the happiest. That kid deserves the world, may he be happy and free when he grow up.

"Now I badly want a kid."

I automatically faced Magnus who's staring at the kid's back, waiving in tiny before pouting like a kid.

"You look like one." I joked that made him laughed and started tickling me, I ran away and sat on a big rock, admiring the view of the volcano.

Wow, I badly want to have a wedding where I can see the Volcano. It would be nice but such an impossible dream.

"Wow, we make such a good couple. I wonder what our children will look like."

I was shocked by what he said, my brows furrowed as I felt my heart starts beating faster. "w-what?" I asked, feeling how my knees are getting weaker and my cheeks burning.

He faced me, confused. "Huh? Why po?" he asked, hugging me.

"a-are you sure about m-me—"

"Yes."

I tried to contain my sobs when he cupped my cheeks, staring at me straight in the eyes and smiled sweetly. "Yes, I am. I am sure of you, I'm sure of having kids with you and I am sure of marrying you someday."

"b-but—"

"No buts cause in the first palace, you're my priority and marrying you and having kids with you is the dream."

I almost melted by his gaze, how sincere his words and how emotions filled his eyes making me more happy and hugged him tightly, not wanting to let go, not minding everyone but us.

Because he's right, the main priority is us.
