Make him chase you.

Chapter 6

Tumango ako at ibinigay nya saakin ang huling rosas bago nya kinuha ang aking kamay at ipininatong sa balikat nya at humawak sa aking bewang.

Tahimik kaming nagsasayaw ng mga ilang segundo bago siya nagsalita.

"You're beautiful tonight Mace, very beautiful." sabi nito habang nakatingin ng deretsyo sa aking mga mata.

" Don't make me laugh Nick. You know, di mo nako kelangang bolahin b-because-" Di ko talaga masabi ng deretsyo lalo na't nakitingin to saaking mga mata.

Natawa ito ."Because what?, I'm not making you laugh Mace I'm just saying the truth. bakit ba hindi ka masanay sanay na sinasabihan kang maganda." sabi pa nito.

Naiilang kasi sya tuwing may nagsasabi sakanyang maganda sya na hindi nya kapamilya dahil pakiramdam nya ay hindi iyon totoo lalo na kung ang nagsasabi non ay si Nick dahil para sakanya ay simple lamang sya at hindi kapansin pansin lalo pa at di naman siya pala-ayos di gaya ng ibang babae sa school nila. Alam naman nyang maganda sya pero hindi iyong gandang mapapalingon ka ulit kapag nakita mo ngunit maraming ding nagsasabi na maganda talaga sya gaya nalang ng ninang Pretty nya. Confident syang magsabi na maganda sya in front of her family dahil para sakanya ay katuwaan lamang iyon.

Huminga ako ng malalim bago ako yumoko at magsalita.
"Di mo nako kelangang bolahin because I am planning to say yes to you tonight Nick" Hindi ko alam kung ano ang reaksyon nya dahil nanatili akong nakayuko ngunit tahimik lamang ito at bahagyang tumigil sa pagsayaw kaya napatigil din ako.

After a while he look into my eyes with a wide smile on his face and gave me a good hug. Happiness is evident in his eyes but I think I saw some emotion that i cannot name.

"Thank you Mace. Thank you for giving me a chance to be with you." he said

After that night, days passed and I can say that he brought out the best in me, and he is the best thing that ever happened to me. He always reminds me that I am beautiful and he believe that I can do things that I don't think I can. My family already know that we are together since Nick and I told them a week after that night and they are fine about it, although Dad will always be a Dad of course. He will always be protective so he will always remind Nick something that I don't know because they wont tell me but they were cool nonetheless.

It's a blessed thing to love and feel loved in return.

There was a day when I told him that sometimes i'm crazy and that he must be use to it and he said.

"You're not crazy. In fact, you're perfect. Everything about you couldn't be more so if I will made a list of all the qualities I wanted in a partner I will just write your name." while looking straight into my eyes and has a huge smile on his lips.

We are already in our fourth year. Tomorrow is our anniversary. I still cant believe that we are already on our one year of being a couple. Napakabilis talaga ng panahon parang kelan lang noong sinagot ko sya which happened in my eighteenth birthday when we are still in our third year.

"Chana anak where do you want to celebrate your birthday tomorrow?" nilingon ko si mommy na di ko namalayang katabi ko na pala sa sofa. Its Saturday so technically wala kaming pasok kaya nanuod ako sa sala(living room) habang nagiisip ng pwedeng ibigay kay Nick para bukas.

Speaking of Nick kinilig nanaman ako sa text nya sakin kanina. Hanggang ngayon ay kinikilig pa din talaga ako sakanya at di yata ako magsasawa dun. He texted me " Hi Hon, are you awake already? Goodmorning , I miss you and love you :* ." hindi nya ako nakakalimutang sabihan na mahal nya ako simula ng maging kami and i'm thankful for that because everytime he told me that he loves me it gives me assurance that he is mine and mine alone.
