Playgirl, Playboy (Unedited)

"I will."

Maaga pa lamang ay nagsimula na akong maglibot sa paligid ng villa. Booths, tiange, and other souvenir shops embedded the place. It looks wonderful and magical.

A small smile tugged my lips when I saw an accessory shop nearby. Finally! Dali dali akong pumasok sa loob at excited na tumingin sa mga sing sing na nasa glass na lagayan.

A simple yet elegant looking ring caught my attention. It has a silver band with an emerald stone in its center and was accented with tiny diamonds near it.

Mabilis na binili ko iyon saka excited na bumalik sa villa. Hindi ko na rin alam ang oras dahil bukod sa nasira ang aking relos kanina dahil sa pagkakaipit ko ay naiwan ko rin sa room namin ang phone ko. Nakakapagtaka nga na naiwan ko iyon samantalang inilabas ko yun kanina. Oh well, whatever.

My brows knitted in confusion when I sensed that no one is inside. Where did they go? Nagtataka man ay dumiretso pa rin ako sa akin kwarto. Agad ko naman na nakita ang S7 ko sa may malapit sa computer doon. As far as I can remember ay hindi naman ako lunalapit don. Ugh. Baka makakalimutin lang talaga ako.

Lumapit ako at dinampot ang phone ko na walang humpay sa pag-blink. Kumunot na lamang ang aking noo at bumangon ang inis sa aking dibdib nang mabasa ko ang mga mensahe doon.

From: Wesley ko
Hey, may lakad tayo ha. Wag ka masyado magtatagal.

I'll pick you up at 1.

Busy?

Hey? Bakit di ka nagrereply?

Seriously? Are you mad?

Ali? Where the fvck are you?

Shit. Babe? You're nowhere to be found.

Damn it. Where did you go?

Calissa Adrianna where the hell are you?! Answer the phone goddamnit!

Shit. Baby nasan ka na ba? I'm worried sick.

Fine. Nagtatampo ka na naman yata. Bahala ka.

Still not replying huh. Suit yourself.

From: Lucy
Heya sis! Mukhang nag enjoy ka masyado. Anyway punta ka agad dito sa may lagoon pagkabasa mo nito dahil kanina pang apurado ang boypren mo. Hahaha. Mwaa.

Dali-dali naman akong nagpunta sa lagoon with the purchased ring on my pocket. Might as well ay magpropose na ako kay Wes.

I stiffened with what I saw. Oh God. How?

Nagkalat ang candles--no hindi sya kalat. Naka-arrange ito na parang pathway. Shitness. Sinundan ko ito. At parang may station chuchu pa na may naghihintay saken at may magbibigay ng rose.

At katulad nang nangyari sa birthday ko years ago, nahawi ang mga tao at lumabas ang parehong lalaki noon.

The guy with the most alluring eyelashes.

The guy with sexy biceps.

The guy with the chiseled jawline.

My man. Wesley Concepcion.

I was dazzled for a minute until I heard him sing.

Till I met you

I never knew what love was

Till I met you

These feelings seem to grow up everyday

I'll love you more each day

And the song goes on. He knelt in front of me, still holding my gaze. It seems like I'm trapped in the world where only the two of us exists. This guy in front of me is my everything. And I am more than willing to be with him making my vow in front of God and the people we love. I am ready to commit and settle down. With him.

"Hoy pards?"

Napatawa lahat ng manonood sa bungad nya. Ngunit imbes na umurong ang aking luha ay nagpatuloy lamang ito sa pagbuhos. Sisinghot-singhot man ay pinakitaan ko pa rin sya ng kamao ko na para bang nanghahamon kaya mas lalong nagtawanan ang mga tao.

"Ali. Una sa lahat, mahal na mahal kita. Higit pa sa inaakala mo at hindi ako magsasawang iparamdam sa iyo. We've been through a lot. But we remained strong and we still managed to fall into each other's hands until the end.

By the time you saw that candles on the pathway, alam kong nahuhuluaan mo na ang patutunguhan ng speech ko na ito. I am so much, deeply, and forever inlove with you. At nakikita ko na ang hinaharap ko, kasama ka. I want to take this chance to ask you these.

Will you let me spend the rest of my life with you? Be the mother of my children? And my lawfully wife? Calissa Adrianna Evangelista Henares, will you marry me?"

And that did it. I burst into tears. Tengene itong si Wes. Akala ko ako na talaga ang magpopropose sa aming dalawa e. Huhuhu. Pero shet. Hindi ako makapagsalita kaya nabahiran ng pangamba ang kanyang mga mata. Pain crossed his eyes.

Damn it! Sa inis ko sa aking sarili ay niyakap ko na lamang sya at tumango tango habang nakabaon sa dibdib nya ang aking mukha.

"Is that a yes?"

"Yes, Wes! It's a freakin' yes! Yes! I'm gonna freakin' marry you! I love--"

I swallowed the words that I was about to say when he lowered his head and captured my lips in a deep, searing and passionate kiss. Our lips moved in sync and I can't help my hands but to wrap it around his nape.

I gently bit his lip and he made a sound on the back of his throat. I shivered when his calloused hand expertly craddled my back and gasped when it stopped on the side of my chest, causing his tongue to delve deeper into my mouth searching for something, which intensified the heat that I am feeling right now. A mixture of love, passion, and desire.

Agad naman na naputol ang moment namin nang sumigaw ang mga kaibigan namin. Shit! I totally forgot that they are here and we are in a freakin public area!

Nakangusong tumayo si Wes at uungot ungot na hinapit ako papalapit.

"Alis na tayo dito. Istorbo sila e."

Napatawa naman ako sa sinabi nya saka sya siniko.

"What's that for? Ayaw mo?" Tanong nito saken at mas lalong tumulis ang nguso nito.

Ngumisi lamang ako saka hinawakan ang kamay nya. Nagbilang ako ng hanggang lima sa aking isipan...

At saka sya patakbong hinila pabalik sa villa.

We're getting married. Bes, nasaan na ang oxygen tank?
