IRENE's POV

We're eating in silence, with Greggy occasionally talking about this and that, when he asked for the maple syrup from my toast bread.

"Kailangan mo? Here. Can you pair that with your sandwich ba? Ang weird."
'Lay down, baby.'
"Lay- what? I'm not yet done eating ehh."
'Ako na lang kainin mo kase. Lay down, please.'

The anticipation that's slowly building up between us is sending me waves of fire. Greggy just opened the glass panel from our room. With every single lights turned off, I know that people cannot see us from the outside. Not that we have neighbors here, but still.

I should feel cold or maybe I should start shivering but no. I feel like my whole body is on fire.

'Beautiful. Sobrang ganda talaga.'
"Bolero. Honey, I love you."
'I love you. So much. Please don't ever forget na asawa kita ha? That you are the best mother to my children. And that ikaw lang naman, Love. Walang iba. Ikaw lang.'

"Hon? Do you remember your promise ba?"
'Of course I do. That you won't get to live a day of your life without me? Ayun ba?'
"Yes. Greggy ha.. promise mo ulit, please?"
'Kulit. I promise po. Walang kahit na isang araw sa buhay ng asawa ko, na mawawala ako. Palagi, araw araw. Kahit ayaw nya na. Kahit galit siya. Kahit may toyo pa. Kahit pikon siya. I promise to stick around for always. I promise to never leave you. I love you. Happy?'

"Very. I love you, honey. Sobraaaaa."
'Picture mo tayo, love. I'll send it to Clea later, para mainis. Bilis.'

Greggy's head is on my neck while he playfully plays with the camera.

"That's not picture naman ehh. Video ginawa mo. Lalo maiinis yun."
'Let her be. Isang ice cream lang, okay na yun. While you.. my love. Can I?'

Greggy started stripping off my cardigan and the night gown that I am wearing.

'I'm going to fuck you, before I make love to you. Is that okay?'
"I think that's perfect."

'You are perfect. I love you, sexy.'
