I am watching max and Gail eat while my head is flying to the other dimensions. I've been thinking this since yesterday.

" hays." I didn't notice that I say that out loud causing to make max and Gail stops from eating.

" hoy lutang lang." Gail said as she tap her hands on the table.

" lutang na nga tulala pa." max said while laughing at me.

" tulala kasalanan baaaa." the both of them suddenly sung that phrase that made me startled. They just laughed at my reaction.

" can you two stop. I was just thinking about something." I said problematically.

" what are you thinking ba?" max asked.

" ahmmm, I...am planning to answer riri na." I said shyly causing them to squel.

" oh to the em to the gee!" max said and I can see that she couldn't hide her emotions to what I confess to them.

" for real na?" Gail said and her reaction is they same to max.

I nodded at them as I look around cause we're here at the mall and the two of them are so loud.

" Can you guys help me? I don't know what to do kasi." I said as I look at them with puppy eyes.

" duh, of course we'll help you." Gail said making me smile widely.

" okay, ganito ang plano." Max said and my whole attention is on her this time. The three of us literally planning here inside the mall.

Were thinking of a unique plan to make it very special since its my first time 'daw' to enter in a relationship. All we just did is plan and set up everything because we will execute the plan tomorrow night since tomorrow is Sunday.

" oh diba, ang ganda ng plano." Gail said and I can't help but to agreed to her.

" So, frenny kami bahalang mag setup sa everything for tomorrow." Max said and Gail nodded also that made me excite for tomorrow's happening.

" Thankyou so much Maxie and Gailie. " I whole heartedly said to them.

-

" hello, bestie update lang namin sayo na malapit ng matapos ang setup namin. " Gail called to update mie and I can't help but to feel nervous even though I know that riri would be very happy about it.

" okay Gail, see you later." I said and before she hung up, I heard max voice and I think the both of them is arguing something I didn't know.

" baby you're going somewhere later?" Riri asked me as she feeds me a fries that we bought earlier.

I swallowed the fries first before I answer her. " yeah but you're going with me later."

Her eyebrows lit up, " with me? To where?" She asked.

" basta..." I said not giving her a hint to where are we going.

" ohhh exciting huh." she said and I just nodded at her. We just continue eating as we watch a movie here at her penthouse. Her arms are around my shoulder and I can't help but to intertwined her hand with mine. She look at me as she noticed it then smile sweetly.

It's already 6pm when I told her that where going out, that I prepared a dinner for us two. Riri is done already with her fit and she's on the living room, waiting for me.

" OK I'm good to go." I said to myself as i am checking my outfit through my reflection in the mirror. I wore a beige colour dress with a beige heel. Riri was the one picked for my outfit and I'd say that I love what she picked.

I got out from the room finding Riri to say that where good to go. I saw her looking so hot sitting on the couch, I looked at her and I can't help to fall deeper.

" you look gorgeous on your fit, baby." Riri said as she approach me and slide her arms encircled on my waist. I look at her and smiled, I just noticed that our outfit is quite matching.

" thankyou Riri, you look so hot also." I said honestly because it was true though. She smirk at me then kiss my temple.

" thankyou for that. So, shall we go?" then I nodded at her.

-

We arrived at the hotel as I told her too. Riri can't stop sniffing my neck as we're inside the elevator going up to the rooftop. She isn't embarrassed even though its not just the two of us inside.

" Riri behave. " I said in a serious tone and she immediately obeyed to it.

THE elevator stops and open revealing the beautiful rooftop. We step out and the cold breeze welcome us, Riri on the other hand looking at the view in front of us as she held my hand.

A waiter approach us and asked if we booked a reservation and I said yes. He guided us to our table and the set up is very beautiful, I will thank max and Gail for the set up they made.

" wow!" Riri said as she saw it. She look at me in awe then hug me.

" you planned this do you?" she asked and I shyly nodded as I averted my gaze on other direction. I heard her giggled as she guided me to sit.

" you like it, Riri?" I asked as the both of us comfortably sit. She look at me with love in her eyes as she hold my hand that was place on top of the table.

" I just don't like it baby, but I love it." she said and I can feel her sincerity.

" I'm glad. So, shall we eat?" I asked then she nodded. I signal the waiter to deliver our meal.

Our meal arrived after a minutes and it's a steak for the both of us paired with a red wine. We eat out dinner while having a random conversation.

We just enjoy eating our dinner while talking things that made us know each other more deeper. We talk as if we are just the only people here in the rooftop. Honestly, having this kind of feeling at peace with someone you love is the best feeling ever. Not minding other people's opinions, not to feel worry, and just being free.

" Riri..." I said as we both done eating out dinner.

" yes, baby." then drink her wine as she look to me directly in the eyes, waiting for me to continue talking.

" I w-want to tell you s-something." I said there's a hint of nervousness in my voice.

" okay, what is it?" she asked and I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes.

" I just want to say that...its a ye..." before I could finish my words, Riri interrupt me.

" wait... Hold that words of yours, baby." she said as she rose up from her seat and approach me. She made me stand up and cup my face.

" why you interrupt me?" I asked while pouting my lips, she just laughed as she pinch my cheeks.

" I'm sorry for that baby, but I just want you to see something first." she said that made me look confused at her. She just smile sweetly then wink at me.

" I want you to turn around and say that words that you want to tell me before I interrupt you." she said and I can't help but to feel nervous to unknown reason. Without thinking twice, I turn around as she told me so and there I saw max, Gail and the other people whom I thought its just a regular customers.

As I read what the are holding, my eyes widen as I look back to Riri. Will you be my girlfriend, baby? That's the exact words that I read.

" Serenity, you know that I respect your decisions and if you're still not yet ready, it's okay with me. I will wait until you're ready to be my girlfriend, but I still want to ask you. So, baby will you?" Riri said and asked me making me cover my mouth with my two hands. She lookd at me with love and admiration.

" of course Riri, it's a yes! " I said happily and hug her. I should be the one surprising her, but here I am surprised by her sudden proposal. What a wonderful night to remember.
