We're here at the hotel, today is Thirdy and Bea's wedding. It's too early but I can't go back to sleep. I miss my fiancee, she's here but Kassy is sleeping with us. She wants to be around the baby all the time. I stood up and went to the balcony.
Babe, why are you up so early? She said while hugging me, her head on my back.
I can't sleep Babe. I told her. Faced her, kiss her on her forehead and hug her.
Why what's wrong? She asked. Her face was creased with worry.
I just miss sleeping next you alone. I said scratching my head.
Aww. My big baby boy misses me. She said pinching my cheeks.
Babe. I said complaining and removing her hands on my cheeks.
Why? Your cheeks are so cute. She said.
Why dont you go back to sleep? I asked her.
Because i miss you too. She said and kiss me on the lips.
Babe, why don't we ask mom to let kassy sleep on their room tonight? For sure she'll be tired after the party and wouldn't mind. I asked her.
Or we can let her sleep on her room here. She said pointing at the connecting door in our room.
Okay. I said.
Don't drink too much tonight babe. I hate the way you smell when you're drunk. She said.
I won't, I promise. I said and then kiss her again.
Nay? I heard Kassy calling her.
Nanay's in the balcony baby. Alyssa said.
I thought you're gone. Kassy said holding on to her chest.
Is there something wrong with your chest baby? I asked.
No Tay, just got worried. She said.
Are you excited to wear your pretty gown today? Alyssa asked her.
Yes. When are we going to dress up? Is someone going to put makeup on us? I want pink lipstick Nay. She said excitedly
You can't wear lipstick, baby. I said.
Why not Tay? She asked me.
Because it's bad for you. I replied
No it's not, how can it be bad? She asked again.
Because Tatay said so. I said firmly.
Give me one good reason Tay, why i can't wear pink lipstick? She said.
Because you're only 4. Too young to wear make up. I said.
Im turning 5 soon. I'm a big girl. She said.
If you're a big girl why do you sleep with Nanay and Tatay? Only small girls sleep with their parents. I asked her.
What if I sleep on my bed, will you let me wear lipstick po? Kassy asked.
Maybe. I replied.
Tay, please. I promise to sleep in my own bed if you let me wear lipstick. She said.
Okay, if you insist. But only for today. I said.
Okay. Thanks tay. She said and hug my legs.
Utak mo sa bandang un babe huh. Alyssa said whispered and i just smirked.

Nahihilo na ko sa mga taong paikot ikot dito sa room ni Bei. Sasama pa ata pakiramdam ko. Nilapitan ako ni Tita.
