"Let's have a vacation," he whispered to my ears.

I was playing with his fingers. They look more feminine than mine. His nails are perfectly shaped. Ang hahaba ng daliri niya. And they are more softer than mine.

"New year's coming, Lucien." I lay down sideways to meet his gaze.

"Hmm, what's the problem with that?"

I paused for a second. I don't know why I'm concerned that he might skip celebrating with his family. I know how he treasured them so much. I just don't want him to be torn between my peace and his happiness.

"Hindi mo makakasama yung family mo sa new year."

"There is still another year of new year, love. Right now, I only want to spend it with you." his eyes were so determined.

I slowly nodded at him in response. I was hesitant but he already jumped off the bed and packed his things.

"Are you sure, Lucien?"

He smiled at me. "Yes, love."

I watched him pack his things. I should be excited because we are going out of town, but something's off. I could sense that there was something wrong with Lucien. I think behind his warm smile there's something hidden in it.

I sat on the couch and packed the things I needed. He gazed at me again and he smiled when he noticed that I was staring at him.

After packing my things, I marched down the stairs and went to the kitchen. Lucien was preparing food for us. By just smelling the food he was making, it made me want to eat already. He pulled a chair for me and I sat down.

He put a bowl of rice and the dish on my plate. And I realized he made a calderata. Kumuha siya ng kanin gamit ang kutsara at hinipan ito.

Pagkatapos ay sumandok siya sa caldereta at isinubo ito sa akin. I closed my eyes while savoring its delicious taste. Mas may isasarap pa pala sa luto ni Samuel.

"Ang sarap," I took the spoon and fed him. He chuckled when he realized that we couldn't finish our food without feeding each other.

When we finished eating, I offered to wash the plate while he took our things to his room. Nang matapos ako ay nagpaalam na agad si Lucien sa mga maids.

Nag-uusap lang sila sa tapat ng main door habang nakaupo na ako rito sa kotse niya. Panay ang tango ng mga maids kay Lucien hanggang sa pumasok na ito sa sasakyan niya.

He maneuvered his car while his other hand was playing with my fingers. They never leave my hands like they don't want to lose them. Sa kalagitnaan ng biyahe ay nakatulog ako. Ngayon lang tumalab ang ilang araw na kulang ang tulog ko. Hinayaan lang ako ni Lucien hanggang sa makarating kami sa isang resort.

Sa resort na ito ay walang masyadong tao. Hindi gaano kalaki ang hotel ngunit maganda ang dagat. The white sand was thin and soft in my skin.

I thought we would check in to a hotel, but we are walking to the other side of the resort. The staff guided us to a villa made of bamboo. Ang cute ng design at napaka lamlam nito sa mata.

There were two egg hammocks on each balcony of the room. The room was wide. There was a kitchen, a medium-sized living room, and isang kwarto para sa bedroom.

"This place is nice," I said while roaming my gaze outside the balcony. The water is ten meters away from our villa.

"You liked it?" he hugged me from behind.

"Yes," I stared at him.

The moon reflects on his eyes. They were so in love and it could melt the shivers I feel because of the cold wind bumping on my skin.
