Chapter 39: Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

Jema POV

The following morning I woke up sore... and alone in bed. Paglingon ko sa coffee table, andun si Ella in just her running shorts and sports bra with her glasses on, seryosong-seryoso sa tinatrabaho sa laptop niya.

"Love?" tawag ko sa kanya

Lumingon na man siya sa akin sabay ngiti at lapit.

"Good morning my love" she said with a kiss.

"Ang aga mo naman atang nagtrabaho?"

"Kelangan na i render eh. Teka tignan mo love kung ok na"

"Eh maganda na man palagi output mo eh"

"Bolera ka love, sige na tignan mo lang" sabay kuha niya sa laptop niya then nilagay sa harap ko and she was just sitting behind the laptop facing me.

The piano keys for Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic na cover ng Sleeping At Last started playing.

♪ Though I've tried before to tell her

♪ Of the feelings I have for her in my heart

♪ Every time that I come near her

♪ I just lose my nerve, as I've done from the start

Then I started seeing stolen clips of me from when we were working on events sa Pinas. Ang dami niya palang nakuhang video clips ko. It was always of me being busy doing something, talking with clients, or smiling at something. I wanted to ask Ella what this was about but I got caught up and amazed sa mga kuha niya sa akin.

♪ Every little thing she does is magic

♪ Everything she do just turns me on

♪ Even though my life before was tragic

♪ Now I know my love for her goes on

– My love – Text flashed on the video.

– I met you when I thought I wasn't capable of loving again –

– You came like a summer sunshine –

– Warm, sweet, with a face that can brighten any day –

– You saw the broken parts of me –

– I'm glad you didn't try to fix them –

– But embraced each piece and made me feel it was ok —

– That it was ok to be broken and still be worth loving –

– Every little you do is magic –

– I don't know how you do it –

– What I do know is...–

– I want to keep wondering the wonders of life... —

♪ A thousand times a day

♪ And ask her if she'll marry me

♪ In some old-fashioned way

♪ But my silent fears have gripped me

♪ Long before I reach the phone

♪ Long before my tongue has tripped me

♪ Must I always be alone?

–With you... Every waking day –

– I love you Jessica Margarett –

– Be with me for a lifetime? –

– Jema, marry me? –
