Last Christmas You Broke My Heart

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE : Just a Dream

We drove past the endless highway. Light posts are the only source of light in our way through the dangerous road where only few vehicles are passing.

As Jason stepped hard into the accelerator, the wind sinks harder against my skin. I carefully rubbed the skin as I don't want him to notice me shivering in the cold with my little black dress. But he did.

"Anya, may jacket dyan sa likod", sabi niya habang tibuturo niya yung black leather jacket na nakatiklop sa back seat.

"Sorry. Dapat binigay ko na sa'yo pala kanina yan", dagdag niya.

"Okay lang", maikli ko sagot.

We spent few more minutes in silence until I noticed the sky. The view is incredibly amazing! Para bang nagsabog na mga diamonds at glitters sa kalangitan.

I tapped Jason's shoulder very hard. "Hinto mo muna please. Hinto mo yung sasakyan!", pakiusap ko sa kanya.

Hininto niya sa gilid ng highway yung daan at lumabas kami. We gazed into the sky full of stars. It was truly amazing how God created everything. Nothing can compare to the beauty of his creation.

I continue to gazed into the speactacular view then It looks like someone is aslo gazing at me.

"Yes? Uwi na tayo?", tanong ko kay Jason.

He cleared his throat and carefully thought about the words he's going to say.

"Anong ibig sabihin mo sa....?", he hesistated.

"Ibig sabihin sa?", I asked as I grew impatient.

He looked at me with that intensity that I wanted to look away but I can't.

"What do you mean by King My Heart?"

I smiled awkwardly with my heart beating faster than ever. "Ano ba sa tingin mo?", tanong ko.

"Tayo na?", he immediately asked as soon as I finished talking.

I smiled again. Unsure of what to say but so sure of what I feel.

"Tayo na?", tanong niya ulit.

I nodded.

"Hindi nga?", tanong niya ulit.

"Oo nga!", sabi as thrill, or whatever emotion, explodes in my chest.

I can see him covering his mouth with his clenched fist and slowly he move towards me. Slowly and smoothly. He traced my face with his fingers and tucked my ear at the back of my left ear. He looked me in the eyes and all I see is a guy so dashing, I didn't care what's gonna happen next.

"So pwede ko na gawin 'to?", tanong niya sa akin.

"I guess", sabi ko (kind of teasing him).

"Eh eto?", sabi niya at bago pa ako makasagot at bigla na lang dumampi sa mga labi ko ang labi niya. And suddenly I felt warmer in a cold shivering night. The world stopped spinning and it felt like we are the only person left in the world.
