Sophie Elizalde is one of the prettiest faces in Aurora. She's turning 35, rich, with her own company to run, and has a long-time hot boyfriend, Drake Mondragon.
But Sophie, despite her age and the pressure from the Elders, doesn't want to get marri...
"Aren't you supposed to bend on your knees with a ring to offer?" A voice came from behind.
Pareho kaming natigilan ni Drake at napalingon sa nagsalita. Napakurap ako kasabay ng pagpitlag ng dibdib nang makita na si Brent ang nakatayo roon.
He looked just the same. But without his eyeglasses. He looked even more—manly. With his muscled thigh hiding from his faded jeans and his wide chest flexing his light blue shirt. I couldn't even speak as I stared at him. Pero si Brent ay mabilis na tiningnan lamang ako bago nakangiting ibinaling kay Drake ang mga mata na tila inaasar ito.
It was Drake who quickly smiled and brushed off the heavy atmosphere. Tuwang tinapik nito si Brent. "Dude! Happy birthday!"
I wanted to remove my eyes from Brent, but this was the first time I had seen him. When Drake and I started dating and became official, Brent smiled happily for us. He had no idea that seeing him with another girl at that time made me turn to Drake.
Nang sa wakas ay na-realized nila na nakatayo lamang ako roon ay agad akong hinila ni Drake sa tabi nito. Brent was looking at me but I was too scared to even look at him properly.
"Remember, Sophie? The—"
Brent smiled. There was nothing in his eyes but his simple acknowledgment that I was Drake's girlfriend. "But of course. Since high school you spread that rumor that she's your girl and never left her side," he teased lightly. "Hello, Sophie. How are you? It has been a long time."

A long time indeed, I wanted to say. Ang tanging alam ko lamang ayon na rin kay Drake ay sumunod sa ama sa ibang bansa si Brent para mag-aral.
Ngumiti lamang ako rito at binati ito pagkuwa'y alanganing napatingin kay Drake then looked at him. "We—We didn't bring any gift—"
