the proposal

jason greeted the couple who just deplaned from their 3 hour 55 minute flight. he noticed how maine looked more gorgeous with her tan. mukhang lumabas naman ng kwarto, jason thought. and there is also a different kind of glow in richard's face. sabi nga sa tagalog 'ngiting-tagumpay'

"good evening mrs. faulkerson"  he smiled at the lady who smiled back at him   "sir Richard" then he nodded to his boss

good evening jason.  maine greeted back

how's everything here? he asked directly

"good so far sir. I think your wife was able to contain what needs to be contained" he gave maine a sly smile

don't mention it 

hold up? he looked from his wife to his butler then back to his wife   did I miss something?

"ahhh... yes I forgot. your husband here milady does not engage himself to have any social media accounts"

i don't need one he said firmly

maine wrapped her arms around her husband's neck and in an instant his hands groped her waist

oh dear husband you need to. you're married to a social media baby

he peck her lips  and whispered  we don't need to post our... you know... adventures in bali right?

she hit him on the chest, jason looked away to give them some kind of privacy since the two might have forgotten his presence. ang haharot ng mga amo nya di ba?

well what's wrong with posting our selfies in bali? she asked innocently

uuhhhmmm.... don't you think it's inappropriate? uhhm... di ba may mga bata kang followers? tapos ipo-post mo yung sa bath tu—

she covered his mouth, selfies richard she said a little louder our selfies in bali

oh di ba may selfie tayo dun sa tub? he whispered naughtily yung naka—

OHH MY GAHD! she hit his arm you're so naughty. mas mabuti nga na wala kang socmed then she leaned closer to him but i can.... if you want to she teased in hushed tone

"aahheerrmm" jason coughed to call their attention, mukhang hindi nila naubos ang kaharutan nila sa bali. "ahm sir, ma'am we better get going. may media pa pong sasalubong sa inyo sa labas" at higit sa lahat baka kung ano pa ang marinig ko pag hindi ko pa sinaway ang dalawang to.

richard intertwined their fingers then held the small of her back

you're ok with that?

i'll be fine she smiled at reassuringly and squeezed his hand

richard nodded at jason to signal him that they can proceed

"your limo is waiting sir. medyo madami lang ang nag-aabang sa inyo"

how'd they know?

jason looked at maine

i gave a hint in twitter. she admitted

he looked at his wife questioningly

this is her game. i sure not backing down. she said with conviction

she really looked feisty. the imagination in his mind is swirling again. focus richard. focus. he reminded himself.

maine you don't need to do this. i will handle irina
