Micah POV

We're in the living room, watching a romance movie. During a kissing scene, Alia and I glanced at each other. She quickly looked away and went back to watching the movie.

"Hey, baby," I said, moving closer because I wanted to kiss her.
"Oops, no no, stop it, Micah Jared Luna," she said, trying to push me away. "nakakarami kana, don’t forget that you’re still courting me," she added.

I stopped what I was doing and asked, "When will you give me an answer, Ali?" When she didn’t respond, I added, "It's okay, baby. I'm willing to wait for you," and I gently caressing her beautiful face.

"I'm scared you might leave me, just like my previous relationships," she said.
"Look at me, baby. I want to assure you that I will never leave you, no matter what happens. I love you so much, Alia," I said, kissing her on the forehead.

She immediately hugged me tightly, so I embraced her back and gently played with her hair. "I want to introduce you to my mom, Ali," I said. She released her hug, turned to face me, and took my hands in hers.

"I'm not ready pa po eh. I’ll let you know when I am," she said. "I want to make sure I look presentable when I meet your mom," she added.
"Okay, baby, take your time," I said, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Let's go on a date, baby," I said."I don’t have any clothes here," she replied. "We’ll buy some at the mall first, then we’ll go on a date," I said. She nodded in agreement. We got up to take a shower.

"sabay na tayo mag shower baby" I said. "maliligo lang Micah Jared Luna ha, sinasabi ko sa'yo." she said. "Opo" I said. Why does it have to be my full name? It makes me nervous when she use my full name.

After we showered, I handed her a white long sleeve shirt and shorts. "Here, baby, wear this for now," I said. She quickly took them and put them on.

Even in her simple outfit, Alia looked stunning, and I was mesmerized by her beauty. "Hey, foxy, are you okay?" she asked with a concerned expression. "Uh, yeah, it’s just that you look so beautiful, baby," I replied.

"Let’s go napo," I said, taking her hand as we left the room. When we reached the garage, I noticed my car was missing. Alia informed me that Gavi had taken it home, so we would use Alia’s car instead.

I opened the door for Alia and then moved to the driver's seat. We left my house to go to the mall, as it was already afternoon. I wanted us to arrive in time to see the sunset.

We arrived at the luxury mall, I parked the car, and went inside to find a shop for Alia’s clothes. We’re now in a upscale store, and Alia is picking out clothes while I wait for her on the store’s couch.

Alia had picked out the clothes she wanted because I told her to choose whatever she liked, and I would pay whatever she wants. She is now in the fitting room trying on the items she selected.

A little while later, she came out of the fitting room, and I was stunned by how beautiful she looked in the red silky dress. She approached me to ask if it suited her, "Hey, foxy, does it look good on me?" she said. Since I was still speechless, she spoke again, "Doesn't it look good? If not, I can change," she added.

Regaining my composure, I immediately said, "No, baby, everything looks perfect on you. Miss, we’ll take all the clothes Alia picked out," I told the saleslady. Once we finished paying for everything, we left the store.
