"RJaaaay!" You playfully called me to sit beside you on the couch after dinner with Dean and Mama Ten.

MT stayed to clean the kitchen, you answered a few emails and chats in the living room, while Dean called me to his room to show me his new games when we finished eating so we were away from each other for a few minutes.

I walked towards you with a smile on my face and sat close to you. "Miss mo na ako agad? Magkasama lang tayo kanina ah. May pinakita lang si Dean saglit." I whispered, to which you very "lovingly" smacked my arm. "Aray namaaaaan!"

You laughed as I pouted and rubbed the arm that you hit. "Ang feeling mo kasi eh noh?"

"Bakit? Hindi totoo?" I asked with a pout and a raised eyebrow.

"Totoo naman." You grinned and clung to my arm.

"Tignan mo to. Eh bakit ka nananakit?" I brooded.

"Hintayin mo kasi na ako magsabi." You smiled up to me.

"Hay naku! Kung hihintayin kita mauna magsabi, baka naka-tatlong Pasko na, hindi ko pa rin maririnig." I said. "Kaya ganoon talaga, if you want to reach a goal, take the first step."

"Naks naman! Goal oriented." You grinned.

"Talaga. Eyes on the prize. Ganoon. Kaya when I set my eyes on you, I went in for the win, did everything to reach my goal."

"Which is?"

"To make you love me as much as I love you." I said, wiggling my eyebrows.

You pinched my side and giggled. "Porke tayo na, ang yabang mo na talaga eh noh?"

"Dapat lang. Miss Maine Mendoza ang girlfriend ko. Sinong di yayabang?"

"So what happened after you reach you goal? Plateau na? Wala nang thrill?" You asked with a little frown.

"Siyempre hindi." I said and cradled your face with one hand. I looked into your eyes and smiled. "Mas naging exciting, mas tumaas ang goal kasi araw-araw mas minamahal pa kita kaya imposible na na you love me as much as I love you because I will always love you more."

You smiled and caressed my cheek. "Yan ang magiging goal ko." You told me.

"Ang ano?" I asked.

"Ang mapantayan ang pagmamahal mo sa akin." You said as you leaned your cheek on my palm.

"Not gonna happen." I smirked and leaned to gently kiss your lips.

"It will. Watch me." You whispered on my lips and kissed me again softly.

"I highly doubt it." I muttered before kissing you again, longer and more passionate.

We pulled each other closer and kissed each other deeper, slowly being pulled into our own world of passionate oblivion when we heard Dean's voice talking from his bedroom door and his footsteps approaching. We quickly pulled away from our kiss but stayed close together with your head on my shoulder and my arm around your waist as I brushed stray hair away from your face.

He looked at us, shifting his gaze from your face to mine and back to yours then mine a few times. "Buti na lang maingay ako." He said. "Kundi maaabutan ko na naman kayong nagmo-MOMOL dito." He chuckled.

"Hoy!" You yelled and threw a pillow at him. "That was one time. One. Time. At bakit kasi gising ka pa nang alas tres ng madaling araw?"

"Ang tanong. Bakit andito pa yang jowa mo nang alas tres ng madaling araw? Pasalamat ka, mabait itong si Kuya at hindi ko kayang gamitin siya para ipam-blackmail sa'yo." Dean smirked.

"Ah gusto mo nang ganyan ah. Mas marami akong bala dito laban sa'yo, ako pa mag-dial ng number ni Nanay. Ano?" You challenged him with a raised eyebrow.

"Sabi ko nga sa kusina na ako. May donuts pa doon di ba? Sige. Tuloy niyo lang yan." He said, running to the kitchen while you snickered.

"Iba din lambingan niyong magkapatid eh noh?" I chuckled.

"Ganoon talaga. Love namin ang isa't-isa eh." You grinned.

"Siguro wag muna tayo mag-kiss pag andiyan si Dean." I suggested.

"Kaya mo?" You asked.

"Hindi." I grinned and you laughed.

"Yun naman pala. Patalasan na lang ng pakiramdam yan." You giggled. "Ay oo nga pala." You said and took something out of your jeans pocket. "Eto. Yung prize mo kanina at kahapon sa Bastelicious. Joke lang yung ako ang magtatago. Sa'yo yan."

You took my hand and placed the money on my palm. I looked at it before lifting my gaze to stare at your eyes.

"Joke pala sa'yo yun?" I sighed. "Sa akin kasi hindi. Seryoso ako sa ipon." I said. I put the money back in your hand and pulled something from my back pocket. It was a bank book.

I gave it to you and you opened it then you looked at me with quiet curiosity.

"Naalala mo yung pinapirmahan ko sa'yo na bank forms? Tapos tinawanan mo lang ako pero pumirma ka pa din kasi sabi mo baka kailanganin in five years. Seryoso ako. Eto na. Maliit pa lang yan." I said referring to the six-digit figure in the joint account under our names. "But it's a start."

"Start of?" You muttered the question but I was sure you knew the answer, just needed reassurance.

"Our future together. Wedding, kids, family, home, growing old together. That's the end goal." I said holding your hand in mine. "Yun ay kung tatanggapin mo..." I stated, holding my breath and waiting for your response.

You smiled and nodded your head. "I will work on that end goal with you, RJ, because that's what I want too."

With happy tears in my eyes, I kissed your hand and your forehead before wrapping you snugly in my arms.💛🍃
