The hardest part about dating your bestfriend is that when you break up, you lose your bestfriend too.

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everythi...
"Visit Ninang soon, okay princess?" Sammie asks as she closes their unit door.
As they get in the elevator, EJ is in Maymay's arms while Edward is holding her carry-on luggage. "Are these all your clothes?" he asks as he points at her luggage.
"I only packed some."
And before Edward could response, Ella motions to be transferred to him. "Mama! I want Papa.. carry. Papa." she chants.
Edward moves himself closer to her, "Baby, just give Papa a kiss."

"...Mama's bag is too heavy for her. So, you stay in Mama's arms first, and then later, I'll take you, okay?" he continues as he gives another peck on EJ's cheeks.
"Uhm, Edward, you can carry her. I can wheel the carry-on, anyway."
"It's okay, love." he smiles at her.
Maymay's heart skip a beat. She is way beyond confused at that moment. Edward calls her love. Occasionally, he refers to them as his family. And their love making has always been intense and passionate. And now, they are about to live in his condo unit. Their arrangement is beyond chaotic, and she can't help but feel scared, but also excited and happy.
Maymay settles EJ in the car seat at the back and then sits in the passenger seat beside Edward.
"Do you wanna pass by your parents first? I'm sure they'll all be excited to see EJ." she suggests as Edward takes the driver seat.
He grabs her hand and rests it on his lap before speaking, "I'm sure they will be, but for now, I feel so tired travelling all day. Can't we just take a day off? And rest first?" he asks.
"Oh, sorry. Do you want me to drive?" she offers.
The corner of Edward's lips slightly tugs upward, "How come when you offered to drive just now.. my mind went elsewhere, and..." he pulls her closer to him, "and my pants got a bit tighter." he adds in a whisper.
"Edward!" she whines, "your daughter is still awake. Can you please" she blushes.
Edward laughs heartily, "You look so beautiful with your cheeks like that.. so red, love."
"Pervert." she mutters under her breath, only enough for Edward to hear.
"Only to you." he smiles as he rests his other hand on Maymay's hand that is on his lap, and lightly squeezes it. "Only with you."
Maymay sighs. She can't help it. She is truly falling deeper for him everyday that they are together. She still doesn't know why he left her for three years. She is still terrified that everything might just explode. She's still scared to open her heart to him again.
"Idiot.. open your heart? It's still open, just like your legs for him.. always." she mentally kicks herself. "But are their countless lovemaking enough for her to trust him again? Are his words enough for her to believe him again? And is her love enough to not be scared again? Is love enough?"
