20 Questions 3 (Part1)

July 4, 2:00am, M's condo:

After a heated hour of making out and counting: 😉

M: Love, parang we won't have time na for the 20 questions. May maaga ka pang shoot mamaya at uuwi pa akong Bulacan. Birthday ni Nanay at may event din sya.

R: Oo, Love. Ihahatid kita di ba? Okay lang yan. We have time.

M: Uy, wag na. Magpapagod ka na naman eh.

R: Di ako napapagod basta para sa'yo, Love. Tandaan mo yan. You are my New Element Arc Reactor Mark II.

Q1
M: *frowns* Okay. First question, ano yun?

R: *laughs, pinches M's nose gently* Sobrang cute mo, Love pag confused ka. You're so smart, sobrang dalang ng ganito. Okay, Love. The New Element Arc Reactor Mark II is the latest and most advanced version ng power source sa suit ni Iron Man. Kaya ikaw ang power source ko. Isang smile mo lang instant energy boost na and having you beside me keeps me going, Love. *smiles*

M: Ah... *laughs* Kaya pala ako confused. Well, Love, ikaw din ang power source ko at ang aking magic pill, ang pinaka-effective na gamot sa kahit anong sakit na nararamdaman ko. *smiles back at R*

R: Ayan, may first question na tayo. Buti pa. Mag-toothbrush na tayo at magbihis at ituloy na lang natin to habang nagpapaantok sa bed. *stoops down, swipes M up in his arms and carries her to the bathroom.

Minutes later, both changed and freshened up, they lie on their side on M's bed facing each other.

M: So, ikaw na next, Love.

Q2
R: Hmm... Nung presscon, sabi mo, okay lang sa'yo na ma-partner ako sa iba. Okay lang ba talaga? Bakit?

M: *draws random invisible shapes on R's arm with her finger* Oo naman, Love. Sabi ko nga. Dati ko pang naiisip yan. I mean magkaiba kasi tayo, Love. Ikaw, andun ka na eh. Nasa level ka na na you can go and do whatever you want na project. Movie, concert, teleserye... Ako kasi I'm just starting and as it turns out medyo slow starter din pala ako. I like my comfort zone, I take time to find the courage to go and do the other things that people expect me to. Ikaw, you don't need that time coz andyan ka na, ready to reap the fruits of years of hard labor. I don't want to be the person who stands in your way. I don't want you to settle para lang sa akin. I don't want to hold you back from your dreams at kung it will come to the point na kailangan kang i-partner sa iba para mangyari yun, I will support you. *stares in R's eyes* Kasi mahal na mahal kita.

R: *caresses M's face* At mahal na mahal na mahal din kita. Hindi dahil mas pinipili kong wag tumanggap ng ibang projects na hindi ka kasama, you're standing in the way. Hindi komo mas gusto kong mag-stay lang kasama mo at maghintay para sa'yo, you're holding me back from my dreams. Walang masama sa pag-settle, I choose to settle and happily choose to do it with you. You are my dream come true. As long as we're together, as long as we have each other, I could not ask for more. I know... I believe... that God has planned for us to achieve our goals together since that day of July 16, 2015 at masaya ako na binigay ka niya, ang pinaka-mahalagang biyaya sa buhay ko, nung araw na yun. Ikaw at ako lang, walang iwanan, walang bitawan, walang baguhan. *a few tears escape his eyes*

M: *sniffs, wipes away his tears and her own* Nakakainis ka naman. Second question pa lang oh... Okay. Just this once, I'll make an exemption. Di kita matiis. I love you.

R: I love you more.

M: *leans forward and kisses R tenderly on the lips* Ayan. Last muna yan hanggang matapos yung game. *smiles*
