"Grazielle Beatrice! Open the door! I know you're in there!" James shouted from the other side of the door.
Siguro mga two hours na simula noong kumatok siya dyan sa pinto. Kanina pa ako gising, may ginagawa lang ako.
"I'm going to break your door if you don't open this!" Then he started his countdown. I tried my best to mess my hair so I'd look like I just woke up.
"Hey. What's up? I'm sorry. I just woke up."
"Really? It's very unlike Beatrice who'll wake up at 3 in the afternoon." He made his way to my couch and seated comfortably. "What? So are you just going to stare at me?"
"I think?" I smiled and he jokingly pushed me off the couch. Kinilig siguro. Binigay ko sa kanya ang remote so he can watch while I'm 'preparing'.
Binuksan din naman niya kaagad ang pinto and I stayed inside my room not closing the door. Narinig ko na nagsimula nang magplay ang inedit kong video.
It was his commercial. Immediately, nilipat niya ang tv and it showed a tourism video of Quezon and Bohol then the screen went blank. So nilipat niya ulit to a charity channel here in London. After a bit, the charity channel had a weather report and a transition to a cartoon. I have inserted a flash drive sa tv and with every press of the key he makes, nalilipat ang video.
A Sleeping Beauty clip came up. And as soon as it ended I shouted, "James! James! Help!". He looked so panicked noong dumating siya sa kwarto.
"After three years, I think I finally know what you deserve to have." Kinuha ko ang balloons spelling up the word 'YES'. He looked puzzled noong binigay ko iyon sa kanya.
Kinuha ko rin ang heart-shaped figurine sa side table ko. "Not only you deserve my yes, but you also do deserve my heart. Yes James, I'd be your girlfriend."
The balloons he was holding flew when he stormed to hug me. "Please take care of my fragile heart." He nodded as he accepted the figurine and kissed me on the forehead.
"Go and suit yourself up. We're going on a date." The first official date.
"Wait, it's my graduation in two hours!"
"Okay then, after your graduation."
Naligo muna ako at nagayos. I want this to be pretty fun and worth remembering.
I looked over my phone pero I missed Macy's call. She left me a message. You're a one lucky bitch. Glad you said yes. Kwento soon. Lol. (That means lots of love.). Together with her message is a screen cap of James' Instagram post.
It's a picture of my decorated room with the things I gave him. He captioned it with "I'm the happiest man in the world."
Kinikilig pa ako nang pumasok siya sa kwarto. "Are you ready now? Let's go." He then put his arms around me and kissed my forehead. "Congratulations, babe."
Forehead kiss. It's slowly becoming my most favourite gesture in the world.
