Superman

Chapter 7

Author's Note: Sorry for the late update, rotated at OB-GYN. Nawawala po ang inspirasyon kung 24 hours ka nakaharap sa vagi—na may niluluwang bata. After quite a long hiatus, I'm gifting you, KISSWARD fans, with a ginormous 20+page chapter.

Kisses woke up bright and early the next day. She felt as if she'd just lied down on her bed for five seconds and was now wide awake looking for something to wear inside her wardrobe.

'Someone's excited,' her mini devil teased.

'Huh?' Kisses feigned cluelessness.

'Sure, deny all you want but you know you're dying to see him again,' her mini devil said with a voice dripping with disdain.

'Tsk... You know, you should be proud of me. This is one step closer to me moving on from Marco. And, secretly, I want him to realize what he's missed out on now that I "belong" to Edward,' Kisses thought to herself.

'You can't lie to us! You weren't thinking about Marco even once last night!' her angel said.

'Yeah! You were all "What do you think is Edward's ideal girlfriend? Do you think he'd want me to cook for him?" And then you spent the next two hours worrying that you didn't know how to cook and what if he'd break up with you,' her devil said.

'I wasn't worrying. I was merely expressing concern. I also want our relationship to work, you know?' Kisses stated.

'Relationship!?!' both minis shouted.

'Fine! Pretend relationship! You're both too technical,' Kisses backtracked.

After a beat of silence, 'Does he like his ideal girlfriend wearing a sundress or something casual? Crop top and jeans?'

'Hoy Inday, tigilan mo nga kami. It's a school day! Dapat naka uniform ka po!' her devil exclaimed.

Kisses beamed, 'Whew! Crisis averted. I keep forgetting simple things today.'

Her mini angel raised her brow, 'Bakit kaya?'

Kisses just ignored the subtle jab.

"Kisses! Breakfast is ready!" her mom called from outside her room.

She hurriedly wore her school uniform and grabbed her bag from her vanity.

"I cooked pancakes for you, darling," her mother said as she neared the dining room.

"Um.. Mom, can I eat just one pancake?"

Her mother was puzzled, "But, pancakes are your favorites!"

Kisses touched her stomach, "I feel as if my stomach is restless eh."

Both her minis were speechless with shock.

'Confirmed! Who would have thought that it only takes one Edward Barber to get you off your pancake addiction?' her angel exclaimed.

'Stop overreacting. This is just one time!' Kisses shot back.

Her mother felt her forehead with the back of her hand, "Darling? Are you feeling okay? Are you sick?"

Kisses shot a deadpan look at her mother, "No, Mom."

Just then the doorbell rang. Kisses looked at the time and hurriedly made 'mano' to her mother.

"Bye Mom!" she called back as she hurriedly ran through the foyer.

'I feel as if we're at a Korean airport looking for our tall, white, and handsome company CEO before he departs for the US,' her mini angel giggled.

Kisses hurriedly ran down the stairs of their front porch, to the driveway, and out their gates.

'Oh my...' her mini devil whispered.
