Annie's POV

Naghahanda na sila lahat para mamaya para sa pasko. Darating naman sila Dad ngayon, I'm with Jax right now. Sasabay raw siyang susundo kela Mom "Are you sure about this? Baka bugbugin ka ni Dad pagnakita ka nun" nag aalalang tanong ko. He smiled at me and entwined our hands. "It's okay to be beaten.." he leaned closer to me "if you're my prize" he whispered, tiningnan ko siya ng masama. He chuckled. I told my parents about Jax, and what really happened, Dad didn't like the idea at first pero kalaunan ay pumayag naman siya.

"Carlisle!" Napalingon ako sa harap, I saw Mom waving. I waved back "They're here" I said at tumakbo sa kanila. Mom opened her arms, I hug her "I missed you" I said at kumalas sa yakap. Mom smiled at me "We missed you too sweetie" she said. Niyakap ko rin si Dad at Kuya Chris. Na unang lumapit si Dad kay Jax. Naka sunod lang kami "Take care of my daughter or else--" Jax cutted him off "Yess'r. I promise" he said with a big smile. Dad sighed at tumango "Okay then" he said. Tinulungan naman ni Jax si kuya sa paglagay ng mga maleta nila sa trunk ng sasakyan niya.

"Grandma!/Grandpa!" Sigaw nila Claire at Clay pagkakita kay Mom at Dad. Natawa naman sila at hinagkan ang dalawang bata. Nakita kong nasa sasakyan pa si kuya Chris kaya nilapitan ko siya "Okay honey, see you" I crossed my arms. Honey? Hmm. Does he have a girlfriend? "Ehem" I faked a cough "Dammit! You scared me" sigaw ni kuya habang nakahawak sa dibidib niya. Natawa ako "Who is this Honey?" I asked him. He cleared his throat. "Mamaya ko pa sana sasabihin sa inyo pero nalaman mo na" he said shyly. "Kailan namin siya mamemeet?" I asked him. He smiled "Ngayon" nanlaki ang mga mata ko. Ngayon? "Really? Okay okay. I'll tell them" excited kong sabi, aalis na sana ako nung hinila ako ni kuya

"I want to surprise them" nanliit ang mga mata ko. "Okay okay. I'll shut my mouth" he sighed "Thank you princess" he said and smiled. Tumango lang ako. "She'll be here in a second" he said excitedly. Nakarinig naman kami ng paghinto ng sasakyan. Ngumiti ng todo si kuya "She's here" he said at dali-daling umalis so I followed him.

Pumunta siya sa sasakyan na kakarating lang. I hope his girlfriend is a nice woman and won't hurt him. He opened the car door, nagulat ako nung lumabas ang babae sa driver's seat.

"Amy?" Nakangiting sabi ko, lumingon siya sakin and a shock expression drawn in her face "Annie?" Tumakbo ako papunta sa kanya, she spread her arms wide open and we hugged each other "Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh!" She said as she giggled. "How are you?" I said and broke the hug. She smiled "I'm great and you?" Ngumiti rin ako ng malapad "I'm great too" I said and giggled.

"Do you know each other?" Sabay kaming lumingon kay kuya Chris. Tumango kami "How?" He asked again. Nagkatingin kami "I've met her four years ago in my club" nangunot ang noo ko "Krazy 8's night club. Remember?" Nakangiting sabi niya "Sayo yung club na yun?" Tanong ko. Ngumiti siya at tumango "By the way, I'm Amy Olivia Lee" she offered her hand. Ngumiti ako at tinanggap ang kamay niya "Carlisle Gomez" ngiting sabi ko.

"Mauna nakong pumasok" I said, tumango silang dalawa at na una nakong pumasok, na iwan pa silang dalawa dahil tutulungan pa raw ni kuya si Amy sa mga dalahin niya. As I step into the house, I saw Jax playing with Claire and Clay. Napangiti ako, I crossed my arms, then a thought came in my mind.

"What if hindi ako nakunan? Maybe we have two beautiful children right now and I know Jax, he'll be a great father"

Napangiti ako. Claire waved at me "Mommy tita come here!" She said. I chuckled at pumunta sa pwesto nila. Jax smiled at me "Hi babe" he said as he kissed my forehead. The kids giggled. "Kids! Come here!" Tawag ni ate Stace sa kanilang dalawa. They frowned, I heard Jax chuckled "Go to mommy, we'll play later. Okay?" Tumango ang dalawa at padabog umalis. Natawa ako, he held my hand and started to play with it.

"Babe, what do you want to do in your birthday?" He asked me. "I don't know. Maybe we'll have a family dinner" I said. "Oh, okay but how about us? Getting married?" he said, biglang nangunot ang noo ko. "What?" He just smiled at me. "Nothing" napailing lang ako sa kanya.

...

"Merry Christmas!" Bati namin sa isa't isa. Lumapit sakin si Jax "I'll show you something" he said at hinawakan ang kamay ko. Lumabas kami ng bahay at sumakay sa sasakyan niya "Saan tayo pupunta?" Tanong ko. "I want to show you something" he started the engine and we drove off.

Dumating kami sa isang condo, Jax opened my door at inalalayan akong lumabas. "Anong ginagawa natin dito?" He just held my hand at pumasok sa loob. "I want to show you my gift" he said at tinakpan ang mata ko "What are you doing?" I asked but he didn't answered. I felt his hand around my waist and the other in my hand.

Ting

The elevator stopped. "Trust me babe" he said. Tumango nalang ako, wala na rin naman akong magagawa. Narinig ko ang pag bukas ng pinto. "I'm nervous" I said. I heard him chuckled. "Don't be, I'm here" he assured me. Kinuha niya ang pagka blindfold sa mata ko. Napasinghap ako. We're in a unit full of gift, pictures of us nailed on the wall.

My tears began to form. "Y-you did this?" I said. "Yes babe" he said. I faced him "Why?" Lumapit siya sakin at niyakap ako "For two years searching for you, I bought this unit and fill it with our memories, with us and every christmas. I bought gifts just for you even on our anniversary and especially on your birthday" napa iyak ako lalo. He hugged me tight "D-do you really love me that much?" I said. Kumalas siya sa yakap, he wiped my tears "Yes" I bit my lip just to control my tears from flowing

"Babe" he said as he looked directly into my eyes "You are the reason why I became stronger but still, you are my weakness. For two years without you, not in a second I can't think of you. You are every reason, every dream and every hope I've never had and no matter what happens to us in future, every day we were together was the greatest part of my life. You are the reason why even the saddest part of my life, I smile. Even at confusion, I understand. Even betrayal I trust and even in pain, I love. You are the reason behind my smile, my happiness and my everything. The day you walked into my life, you're all I think about. You're the reason I breath. You're the stars in my sky and I want you, I want us. I want it all with you, only you and you're the reason why I believe in love.." mas lalo akong umiyak dahil sa sinabi niya. He kissed me in my forehead, they said that one kiss in the forehead is much sweeter than a thousand kiss on lips. No lust but, full of love and respect. "I wouldn't trade you for the world" he wiped my tears. I smiled at him "You are my everything, because if I'd lose you. Parang nawala na rin ang lahat sakin" I said. He smiled widely and kissed me. We kissed passionately "You are the best gift that I have ever recieved this christmas" he said between his breaths.

I really love this man, even if we faced many difficult challenges in our relationship but he remained loyal and faithful to me, and so am I and I won't let him go this time.
