"So how are you, my Love?" Richard said as he runs his hands through her hair.

"RJ, I'm feeling way better now that I'm here with you."

"How do you find running the family business?"

"Nakakapagod, akala ko kasi dati parang I'll start working in a department then go from there. Yun yung plan, but with Oma's condition and Opa wanting to be with her, parang it feels like I need to learn how to swim in a vast ocean."

"Dei, pero happy ka naman?"

"Oo pero nakakapagod. Kaya andito muna ako to take a break. Sabi ni Opa, mukha na daw akong panda. Hindi na ako natutulog."

"Hindi ka pa nakatulog the day you arrived and this morning you work up early." Richard said sadly.

"Baby boy, I'm okay the other night we were both at fault and this morning, I wanted to do something nice for you."

"You don't know how grateful I am that you're here." Richard says as he hugs her tighter.

"Ako din, RJ, Love." She touches his face with her thumb. "Baby boy, how are you feeling today? Alam ko pagod na pagod ka lately."

He buries his face into her neck. "RJ, Love." Dei runs her hand through his hair. Patting his head softly.

"It was hell, Dei. The last two weeks. I did nothing but work. Hindi na nga ako nakakalaba , nakakaayos at nakakalinis ng bahay."

"..."

Richard looks at Dei. "You didn't?" Dei smiles. Richard jumps out of bed, goes to the bathroom and checks the laundry basket. He runs to the washer and the dryer. He runs back to his bedroom and checks his closet.

"RJ, Love! Put me down!!!"

Richard gave Dei a lot of butterfly kisses all over her face and hugged her really tight.

"RJ! Nakakadami ka na ng kiss!"

He kisses her on the lips.

"Dei, bakit ang perfect mo?"

"Because I'm me?" Dei laughs

He places Dei on the bed and cages her with his arms. He tucks in a strand of her hair behind her ears.

"Dei, Love" He says softly. "You made breakfast this morning tapos you cleaned the house, arranged my clothes, the way I like, color coded, and you did the laundry. Huwag na kaya kita pabalikin ng Switzerland?"

"Hoy, RJ!"

"Seryoso ako, Dei. Akala mo ba nagbibiro ako?"

"RJ!"

"Am I making you uncomfortable?"

"RJ! Gullible ako!"

They heard the sounds from the doorbell. Richard annoyingly gets up from the bed.

"Hay, that's the last of it!" Richard said while he steps down from the ladder.

"Yey!"Dei jumps up and down
