A/N: Malapit na tayo sa exciting part. Mag-ingat ang lahat lalo na ang mga hindi iningatan.  Errors ahead!

We are almost 6 months dating. And we immediately fall into routine. Where I will cook breakfast and lunch while she'll make dinner.

And to surprise you. Attorney Reverence is softie. She cry in everything. She cry in good tear-jerking movies. She cry when she is super frustrated. She cry when she is overwhelmed. She cry in so much happiness. And I love her happy tears. I always yearn for them.

At nasurvive ko ang maldita phase niya. Totoo pala talaga yung maldita phase.
Minamalditahan niya lang pala ako noong una. Ngayon mas clingy ito. At bihira kami mag-away ang pinakamalalang away namin ay tungkol sa ice cream.

Gusto niya kasing bumili ng ice cream. Kaso bawal siya ng ice cream kasi nagka-colds siya non. Hanggang nag-away kami tungkol sa ice cream. Na hindi ko na daw siya mahal kasi ayaw ko siyang bilhan ng ice cream.

My love for her was questioned just because of goddamn ice cream?

Speaking of the beautiful devil herself. At alam niya pala na tinatawag ko siyang anak ng kadiliman kasi nadulas ako nung minsan. Tinarayan lang ako tapos at tigil-tigilan ko na daw ang pag-tawag sa kaniya ng kung ano-ano.

“Hey,” Bati nito sa'kin matapos maka-sakay sa kotse. At agad ulit lumapit sa'kin para humalik sa pisngi ko.

“Hi, Tangi. Tara na?” I replied while she just nodded.

Pupunta kaming mall ngayon. Kung bakit ay hindi ko alam.

Pero dahil siya ang boss ay nag-drive lang ako papuntang mall na gusto niyang puntahan.

At sa kamalas-malasan ay inabutan kami ng traffic. Naramdaman ko naman ang mabigat na titig ng katabi ko.

“Something's wrong, love?” Tanong ko dito.

“Nope. You just look different whenever you are with me.” She trailed off, while staring at me. It feels like the first time I felt different under her gaze. Sa kaniya lang ako na-ccontiouse.

“What do you mean?” I chuckle while she shook her head in disbelief.

“Wala. You are just too intimidating when you are walking off the street alone.. But whenever you are with me you are like the golden retriever type.” She commented while giving her haunting gaze.

“But I like me better when I am with you. I will just make a short call, love.” I replied giving her a smile. Hindi naman ito nagtanong why I need to make a call.

Mabilis ko namang tinawagan ang may-ari ng mall. At nakipag-usap na kung pwedeng isara muna ang mall ng ilang oras dahil mamimili kami.

“Tangi, we will do grocery ba?” I asked in the middle of the call.

“Yep. We will also grab new set of wine glass and plates sa condo.” She replied while, checking something on her phone.

“Tara na, mahal ko?” Aya ko dito habang inabot ang aking kamay para alalayan siya pababa ng sasakyan.

Agad naman nitong tinanggap ang kamay ko. She is wearing a cute white dress. While I am wearing black button down and faded jeans with white sneakers combo.

“Good morning po.”  Bati ng mga staff ng mall. Luminga linga naman ang magandang abogada.

“This is weird. The mall is usually jammed packed at this hour.” Mahinang ani nito.

“Oh, they went to other malls nearby," Ani ko lang habang nagkibit balikat lang ito at poker face na ulit si boss.

Ang ganda so much oh. That's my love.
