Book 2 Maybe This Time (C O M P L E T E D ❤️)

1. Home--NOT

"We are here princess" Maymay's dad says as he shakes her lightly.

Her childhood home still looks the same. Perhaps, the only thing that really changed is her. Though, looking at Maymay from the outside, nothing seems different. However, she feels different--no longer the same Maymay that left before.

The first thing she notices is the pink bike in their garage with the pink tassels hanging on the handles. In a way, Maymay should've expected this, all the memories coming back to her, after all, this is a big part of my life--her home.

"Babe, what do you think of me on a motorcycle?" Edward asked her.

"Motorcycle? Isn't that a bit unsafe love?" she asked him back.

"Well, I will stay safe of course. I know you will be upset if anything happens to my handsome face baby" he told her with a smile.

"You are crazy Edward. It's just that.. uhmmm" she trailed off, suddenly feeling embarrassed with what she was about to admit to her boyfriend.

"What love?" he asked as he pulled her closer towards him, kissing the top of her head.

"Okay, I'll tell you, but promise me that you won't laugh, okay?" she asked.

"Promise love! Promise!" he answered as he raised his right hand.

"Cause if you laugh, no kiss for an hour" she told him seriously.

"Woah, okay" he answered back.

"Uhm, I don't know how to ride a bike." she admitted shyly.

She looked at Edward and his face start to turn red. He looked like he was about to explode, but clearly trying to hold back his laughter. Tiny drops of tears were coming out from the corner of his eyes, and he coughed a little to mask his laughs.

"Babe, you promised" she told him in a low voice.

"But I am not laughing love" he answered back.

"I know, but I can feel that you want to" she told him as she turned her back on him.

In an instant, he hugged her from behind "You are so adorable baby. I don't care if you can't ride a bike, if you want, I'll teach you." he told her as he kissed the back of her neck.

"Edward! Mom and Dad are inside, if they see you, you're dead" she warned him.

"Sorry baby, just couldn't resist your exposed neck" he told her as he planted another kiss on the side of her neck before pulling back.

She gasped. She suddenly felt different, so aware of the electricity that his kisses are bringing her. Edward and her really have to learn and practice self-control or else, they'll both be dead. With the freedom they are about to have in Manila soon, self-control is a must at all cost.

"Next time, I will wear a turtle neck top then" she told him with a smile on her face.

"Hmm, I don't really care what you wear love.. I will still find a way" he winks at her as he pulled her closer to him, tucking her hair behind her ear and kisses her passionately--the kind of kiss that makes Maymay melt every time. "I love you so much twinnie baby" he told her as he finished the sweet exchange between their lips.

The next day, Maymay was awoken by Edward knocking on her bedroom door.

"Baby, can I come in?" he asked from the other side of the door.
