"What will happen to Valentina now?" I asked.

The two of us are cuddling right now. Nakauwi na kami sa kanyang condo matapos nung sagutan namin sa labas ng restaurant. We went back inside of course, nagpaalam na muna kami bago umalis.

Dito na muna ako matutulog ngayon dahil ayaw niya na akong mahiwalay sa kanya matapos naming nagkabalikan. He even wants me to move in with him already. I will but after our wedding. Para appropriate.

"What do you want to happen to her?" He asked while playing with my hair.

Madeport at ma-ban sa Pilipinas. Joke! "I don't know but I want her to stay away from you."

He chuckled before hugging me tightly. "And what if she won't stay away from me?" He teased.

"Then I'll kick her out of here. I'll send her stinky ass back to Anchorage." I rolled my eyes.

"Sinong nagturo sayong magmura?" He asked.

I giggled. "Nahawa akong magmura kay Kelsa," I miss her already! "when can I go...I mean, when can we go back to Alaska? Hindi ko pwedeng basta bastang iwan ang Alde Apparel."

"Don't worry about Alde Apparel Alaska, I'll take care of it." He said.

"Magpapadala ka ng tauhan dun, noh?" Umirap ako. "wag na. I'll ask Kelsa to takeover. Papayag naman siguro si Lola." Sabi ko.

"Hm. I have a question, though." He said.

Tumingala ako para makita ko ang mukha niya. "What is it?"

"Papayag ka bang tumira sa Davao?" Mahina niyang tanong, na parang natatakot siya sa sagot ko.

"Do you want to live in Davao after we got married?" I asked and he nodded. I smiled. "kahit saan, basta magkasama tayo."

Napangiti siya at tinakpan ang kanya mukha. Nalaglag ang panga ko at unti unting napangiti ng malapad.

"Damn..." He whispered before removing his hands on his face.

"Oh my God! Kinilig ka?" Natatawa kong tanong.

He rolled his eyes. "Shut up," He said which made me laugh. "we'll live in Davao."

I nodded. "Pero pano na ang JLCS?"

"I'm still the CEO but I'll be based in Davao. I'll just hire a Manager here in Manila." He said before kissing my hair.

May Alde Apparel din naman sa Davao, so dun nalang ako magtatrabaho. Hindi ko lang din alam kung saan ang main office dun. Sana malapit lang sa JLCS Building. Hehe.

"Sa condo mo ba tayo titira?" I asked.

He raised an eyebrow at me. "Of course, I have a house for us. I planned everything already." Confident niyang sabi.

Hinampas ko ang dibdib niya. "Ang yabang mo! And iniisip mo talagang papayag ako sa kasal, ha?"

"You will marry me, sa ayaw at sa gusto mo man." He rolled his eyes.

"Kaya palaging mainit ang dugo ko sayo, eh. Yabang mo, kainis ka." Tumawa ako.

"Kaya ka palaging galit sakin dahil sa kayabangan ko?" He chuckled.

"Yes." I giggled.

"Mayabang lang ako kung may ipagyayabang, Mya. At gustong gusto kitang ipagyabang. Kaya gusto kong public ang kasal natin." He said.

"We have the money, I want a grand wedding." I mocked him and he groaned.

"Stop it or I'll get you pregnant right now." He warned.
