August 19, 11pm:

R: Love, ano ba? Mabubura na yang mukha mo sa kakakusot mo eh. *chuckles* Tama na yan. Baka wala na akong ma-kiss mamaya. Umupo ka na dito. Nahihilo ako sa'yo.

M: *grunts and sighs then slumps on the couch beside R after minutes of pacing around and rumpling her face with her hand* Kasi naman. Bakit ko ginawa yun? Ganoon pala talaga ang labas? Nakakahiya. *hides her face behind her hands*

R: *laughs softly and takes M's hands* Love, hayaan mo na yun. Wag ka nang mahiya. Sanay naman ako dun. Normal sa misis na gawin yun sa asawa niya. Game. Ulitin mo dito ngayon oh. *grins*

M: Ano ba?! *pushes R away* I'm serious. Kailangan ko ng seryosong kausap. I need your support, not your harot. Umayos ka nga!

R: *sighs, pouts* Okay. Sorry, Love.

M: *looks at R, feeling a little guilty for being to hard on him, sighs* Okay. Maybe a little harot. Hug me?

R: *grins, scoots closer to M and wraps her in his arms* Gladly.

M: Kasi naman shown on National TV pa yun with videos, GIFs and pictures posted on social media to be seen by everyone and replayed over and over for all eternity. Ayoko na. Mamamatay na ata ako sa kahihiyan.

R: Uy! Wag! Di pa ako handang ma-biyudo. Wag! Erase! Erase!

M: Panic agad? Kalma. *sighs* Kung ano-ano na ang nai-comment at nai-kulay eh we were just goofing around. *pouts and buries her face on his chest*

R: *pulls M closer and kisses the top of her head* Akala ko ba matagal na nating dapat kinalimutang intindihin kung ano ang iniisip ng ibang tao?

M: *looks up to R and nods her head*

R: Ikaw at Ako lang dapat di ba? *caresses her cheek*

M: *smiles and closes her eyes as R inches his face closer, whispers* Ikaw at Ako lang.

R: *touches their foreheads and noses together* Paki ba nila kung di mo na kayang pigilan ang pagnanasa mo sa akin at napa-dakma ka. Aray!

M: *pinches his nose really hard* Hindi nga yun di ba? We were just playing around eh ang slow mo di mo pa napansin kaya inulit ko. *pouts and crosses her arms over her chest* Bakit ko inulit? Nahuli tuloy sa camera. *sighs and hides her face in her hands again*

R: Love, will you please stop doing that? *takes M's hands again and hugs her*

M: Kasi naman you're all thinking it. Ano na lang sasabihin ng Nanay at Tatay ko? Malamang maitakwil na ako nito.

R: Hindi, Love. Hindi mangyayari yun. Matutuwa pa nga sila.

M: Talaga?

R: Oo. Kasi iisipin nila na malapit na silang magka-apo sa atin kasi gustong-gusto mo na din. Aray! Love, naman eh baka naman sa ospital na ang bagsak ko nito. *pouts as he rubs the shoulder M bit* Ang sakit na ah.

M: *rolls her eyes at R* Wag kang OA. Ikaw naman kasi nang-aasar ka pa eh. Nag-aalala at hiyang-hiya na nga ako dito. *glares at R and moves away from him* Kasalanan mo kasi yung eh. Sobrang kulit mo, kalabit ka nang kalabit tapos bulong ka ng bulong. Kung di mo ako kinulit, hindi ako makikipag-kulitan sa'yo. *pouts*

R: *sighs* Will it make you feel better pag sinabi kong kasalanan ko?

M: Yes.

R: *smiles and takes M's hand* Okay. Kasalanan ko yung nangyari. Kaya sorry na, Love. Don't feel bad about it anymore.

M: *throws her arms over R's shoulders and hugs him tight* Thank you, Love.

R: You feel better now? Kasalanan ko na okay?

M: Yes and No. *sits on R's lap and stares into his eyes* I feel better not because you said kasalanan mo. I actually felt bad that I made you admit to a mistake you did not make. I felt better because I am reminded that you love me that much and that I will always have you. That's all that matters. I love you.

R: I love you that much and more. So much more. *gently lays his hand on M's jaw and caresses her cheek with his thumb* I'm glad you're okay now.

M: *smiles* Thanks to you. *cups R's face with her hands and leans to kiss his lips slowly and lovingly*

R: *pulls M closer, sliding his hand to her nape and angling his head to deepen the kiss*

M: *moans in his mouth and kisses him back with the same amount of passion*

R: Love? *whispers on her lips when they pause for air after a few minutes*

M: Hmmm?

R: Halika na.

M: Saan? *gently rubs their noses together and laces her fingers through his hair*

R: Sa kwarto. Dun tayo mag-dakmaan. *grins*

M: *laughs as R lifts her in his arms and carries her to the bedroom* 😁💛🍃
