Stolen Moments

12.

Mine and Zayden's relationship lasted even after we finished college. But I do think nothing much really changed even after we became a couple. We just became closer and he became clingier. I sometimes feel like our relationship became a ticket for him to be even more clingy and sweeter than he was when we were just best friends.

"Let's watch Tangled?" I felt a kiss on my cheek before a pair of arms hugged my waist.

"Aren't you supposed to help your dad sa business niyo?" I raised my brows at him.

Ngumuso siya at umiling. "I'd rather spend time with my princess."

"Okay, let's watch Tangled." I giggled and kissed his cheek before standing up to grab some snacks at the pantry.

"Love, you need to restock. We should go grocery shopping first! Samahan kita, then we can also bake your favorite strawberry shortcake after-" natigil ako sa sinasani ko nang may yumakap sa'kin mula sa likod.

"Date tayo?" paglalambing niya. "Maaga pa naman, grocery muna tayo tapos gusto mo pumunta tayo sa amusement park?"

"Really?!" hinarap ko siya at niyapos sa leeg. He nodded and kissed the tip of my nose.

"Lunch tayo sa labas, and then for dinner, magluluto ako ng favorite mong sinigang tapos mag be-bake tayo ng strawberry shortcake na kakainin natin habang nanonood ng Disney movies."

I squealed excitedly and smothered his whole face with kisses na alam kong gustong-gusto niya naman.

He chuckled and pinched my nose. "Okay, I'll take that as a yes. Get dressed, princess. I bought you a new dress, it's on your side of the cabinet." he winked.

As planned, we went grocery shopping first to buy stocks for his condo. Minsan talaga ay nawawala sa isip niyang i-check ang stocks niya. Kapag hindi ko sinasabi ay hindi niya pa alam.

"Milk, eggs, snacks, vegies, fruits, what else do you need?" I enumerated as I looked at our shopping cart.

"This." naglagay siya nung maliliit na box ng biscuit na may print na koala. I read the box, 'Koala's March - Strawberry'.

I looked at him weirdly. Isn't that for kids?

"What?" he eyed me. "It tastes good, love." he shrugged and pushed the cart.

Kaagad naman akong sumunod at kumapit sa bewang niya. "What about yung mga need mo for cooking? Do you have stocks pa?"

"Yup, we restocked last last week, 'di ba?"

Tumango ako at sumunod nalang nang dumiretso na siya sa counter. We loaded the grocery bags in his car and drove off to go to the amusement park as planned.

May restaurant malapit sa amusement park kaya dumaan muna kami doon para kumain ng lunch.

I was practically hugging Zayden because of excitement habang naglalakad kami papasok ng amusement park pagkatapos kumain. I looked around and giggled excitedly when I saw all the games and rides that we could try.

"Love, Ferris wheel!" sabi ko kaagad.

He pointed his cheek and grinned. "Kiss muna."

I rolled my eyes and jokingly punched his tummy. "Love, yung abs ko!" reklamo niya.

"Papansin!" I hissed but still kissed him para pagbigyan niya ako.

"Aren't you afraid of heights?" I asked him while we were in line.

Tumawa siya at umakbay sa'kin. "Nope."

"Ako medyo, you need to hug me para hindi ako matatakot." I said in a small voice and hugged his waist.
