All I Ask II:BBPH(Taking Chances)

AIAII: Ceasefire

"What are you doing here?"

Bungad na tanong ni Ford when he saw Sander outside thier house.
Tumingin ang lalaki sakanya.

"Im here not to create a fight nor scene..om here to talk to you.."

Natugilan si Ford sa sinabi nito.
He took a deep sigh and akmang papapasukin ang lalaki sa loob pero tumanggi ito.

"I wont be long..i just wanna say sorry for what happened between us..and since Ezra chose to be with you..im wishing you both happiness..and please bro..this time that Ezra gave you another chance..sana wag mo ng sayangin..and dont give her stress.."

Tahimik lang na nakikinig si Ford.

"I decided to go back in Ilocos..please dont hesitate to call me whenever you need something..i would love to help you both.."

Sander added.
Ford felt his hand on his shoulders.

"Im sorry din bro..makakaasa ka this time i wont do no good..i promise.."

He said.
Sander smiled at him.

"Friends?"-Sander

"Friends.."-Ford

Smile written on Ezra's facs when she saw from the balcony Ford and Sander talking.
And ng magkamayan ang dalawa.
She knows that everything is settled between them.

And thats a good start.

"Gelai.."

Natigilan si Gelai ng akmang lalabas ng tent ng tawagin siya ni Russell.
Sila na lang dalawa sa tent.

"Yes?"

"Im going back to Chicago tomorrow---"

"What?!why?we still have one week here.."

"I cant work with you anymore.."

She frowned.

"But Russell?can we just set aside the personal---"

"I cant Gelai! I cant! You know what? It hurts me! It hurts me seeing you everyday and it hurts me knowing im not good enough..seeing you everyday reminds me of i cant be good enough---"

"Sinasabi mo lang yan dahil hindi mo alam ang totoo Russell.."

"Totoo?ohhh come on Gelai..we both know that you chose Kairo over me..and it hurts..it hurts!"

"I didnt chose him over you..i chose myself over you both..i chose myself so i could able to reciprocate on the love youre giving me..i chose myself so i could love you not because youre helping me to move on from Kairo but to love you because i love you.."

Gelai said.
Kita niya na natigilan ang binata.

"You mean?"

"I mean it Russell..ayokong mahalin ka dahil mahal moko..gusto kong mahalin kita kase gusto ko..and i can tell that i love you not because i dont love Kairo anymore but because i love you..thats all.."

Gelai was shocked when Russell hugged her tight.

"Im sorry!"

Russell said.
Smile written on Gelai's face.
she hugged Russell even tighter.

"I love you Russell.."

Russell cupped her face and kissed her in the forehead.

"I love you more Gelai.."

He said.
They both smiled.
Nose to nose..

Eye to eye..
Forehead to forehead..

Entwinning his hands to hers..
Amd claimed her lips for the second time..

The sweetest kiss he did after four long years..
