Waves of Ecstasy

Chapter 20

After that meeting with my parents, the next day ay pumunta ang pamilya ni Archer. And officially everyone gives their blessings on our marriage.
I couldn't forget how happy Mom Arianne is.
She and Mom hugged each other and said finally.
Kahit hindi man nila sabihin I think I know what that means. Marami palang naghihintay na dumating ang araw na ito. I just can't believe na wala akong ka alam alam noon... Ganon ba ka focus ang attention ko kay Alec? At hindi ko man lang napansin si Archer?

We decided on the date of our wedding. Yun ay pagkatapos ng bakasyon nila Mom and Dad. Two months after that we will get married.

"I missed you..." Napa angat ang tingin ko kay Archer.
Nasa garden kami. Ngayon lang ulit kami nakapag usap dalawa dahil nga halos di kami tantanan ng mga pamilyar namin. Everyone is just so happy and excited.

He held my hand and he stared at me softly.
I can't help but smile sweetly at him. "I miss you too..."

"Damn... I can't get used to this." I heard Raven's mumbling. He's not too far from us. Katabi niya si Lily.

"Wait! I remember!" Bigla naman itong napatayo at lumapit samin.

"I told you and Alec that you're off limits with my sister's!"

"Yeah." Archer said.

"But... We're still teenagers when I say that... Dinibdib mo yon?!"

"How could I not? Why? Matatanggap mo ba kung  maaga ako nagparamdam sa kanya?"

"I... don't know... I'm not against it... I just couldn't... see you two together. It never crossed my mind."

"Well it already happened. You have no idea how much I hold back." Archer said and reached for my cheeks, caressing it gently.

Raven's face wrinkled. "Shit I couldn't stand that look on your face. I'm outta here." Sabi nito at nagmamadaling umalis.
Tawa ng tawa naman si Lily na sumunod sa kanya. Inaasar na nai inggit lang daw dahil di maka porma kay Charlotte.

Napatingin ako kay Archer, magtatanong sana tungkol sa narinig ko ngunit ngumiti lang ito.

I guess something's going on between Charlotte and brother huh...

Wow. Mukhang ayaw maghiwalay ng pamilya namin. It would be great if they also end up together...

"Would you like to go to the rest house?" Archer carefully asked.

"Right now?"

"Yeah..." He stared at me deeply. And his eyes are getting darker each passing second.

I felt my throat getting dry. And I nodded.

Nagpaalam kami kila Mama. Pumayag naman sila at nang mabanggit ni Archer na sa rest house niya ang punta namin ay nangako siya na iimbitahan niya sila doon kasama ang pamilya niya na bumisita.
They knew about Archer's house pero tulad ng sinabi sakin ni Archer, wala pa sa kanila ang nakabisita roon.
Tuwang tuwa naman si Mom. Busy rin sila ni Dad dahil bukas ang alis nila.

We arrived at the rest house. And my heart warmed up realizing that this is the first time we came here together.
Mukhang napansin iyon ni Archer. He smiled at me teasingly.
I pinched his arm at tumawa lang ito.

"Wanna go on a picnic?" I nodded excitedly at him.
Tinulungan ko siyang mag prepare. Nagdala na rin kami ng blanket at pumunta sa field.
Doon kami banda sa may mga puno, kung saan may masisilungan.

We talked about anything. And I enjoyed every second of it. Habang tumatagal mas nakikita ko ang ibang side ni Archer. I've never seen him like this before.
And I'm loving every bit of it.
