Ever After (End Game Book 2)

Love, Happy

Then I felt myself respond to his kiss, my arms automatically go around his neck, pulling him to me, then I felt his hands are on my hips.

I smiled against our lips...
I can feel our hearts beating a thousand.
I knew my hands were trembling...
I almost believed we almost lost this...
I thought we did... but we didn't.

I was kissing him deep, following his lead, until we're almost out of breath... I pulled him close, wanted to feel his heart near to mine.
We did it!
We actually did it.

I held him close, my face on his shoulder.
Then I felt him pulled me up, lifting me from the ground, my legs around his wait.
I felt his lips on my neck, then he kissed that sensitive part below my ear, but I was surprised that I didn't moved away; instead, I pulled him closer.

"I love you, Baby", I heard him whispered.

And finally, I was able t let go of the breath that I was holding. I thought I won't hear him say that again.

"I love you, Love... I love you", I said, closing my eyes, as I felt tears ran down my face. If he only knew how scared I was...

I knew he felt the tears... I felt him held me closer, then he whispered, "I love you more... more than yesterday...more than I thought I could... I love you!"

We stayed like that for a couple of minutes, and when he finally put me down, I smiled at him, then said, "One week... ", and I was surprised when he just threw me a look, opened my car, took my bag, locked it, then crouched down, and carried me over his shoulder.

——
When everyone thought everything's ok, she reminded me of that one week chance that she gave me to think about her offer...

Seriously!? Does she really think I would need a week?

"Put me down, Benjamin", I heard her said, while she's probably trying to cover her face, as people were stopping on the road, looking at us.

I slapped her behind, then put her down slowly, sliding her down my body. I saw her face blushed. She's really cute.
I'm really keeping this one.

She swallowed, hit me on the chest, then looked away. "Why did you carry me like that? It's too embarrassing"

I pulled her to me again, and hugged her close.
Ay Ronaliza! Buti na lang talaga mahal kita!

"Pinaiinit nyo po kasi yung ulo ko... one week? Do you really think I would grab that one week to think this through? After the weeks... months that we've been through, do you honestly think that I would wait one more week?"

"Sigurado ka na dyan? Wala nang bawian!"

"Ang cute mo talaga!", I said, touching her nose, which I knew would really piss her off.

"Benjamin!"

"Benjamin ulit? "

"Love..."

"Baby... ikaw? Sigurado ka na? Though I won't be giving you a week to think... I won't be giving you even a second to think to leave me again... anyway, it doesn't matter whether you're sure or not, because regardless, I'm keeping..."

"Sigurado na po... sigurado na", she whispered, smiling at me.

That suddenly made me stop... I think even my heart has stopped beating.

Is this it?
Did we really make it?

"What?", I heard her said, but I just pulled her again and kissed her one last time.

"I missed you! Woah! I really missed you", I said, and I felt tears are clouding my vision.

I felt her hands wiped my eyes. "My heart is about to explode, Love", she confessed, her eyes already with tears.
