We are better than this...(Amephil book 2)

be careful...

Philippines Pov: 

(1931...)

i felt myself hum quietly to myself sitting at my brown desk with a soft smile widening in my face while looking at the letters that ame send me back to his home state.

reading the letters that ame gave me i can't help but feel my heart flutter in a happy manner,
i sigh lovingly while my eyes read every line that ame wrote to me...

but one line in the letter cut me off guard...

Until the end of our eternity until my heart doesn't feel anymore even after our forever
i will still wait in the name of LOVE...

sincerely...

The United States of America.

i felt myself squeal in the inside but yet i control it but no doubt my cheeks are really red right now...
my heart beat faster while there are butterflies in my stomach fluttering, i giggled a little to myself at how cheesy the line is aswell but yet its very touching to me...

i hope ame comes back more earlier this month its been a week since i last saw him...
a week since he accepted my confession that i like him...

i heard a knock at my door.

i hid the letters that ame sent me in one of my drawers beneath my desk after everything is cleared up, i fix myself up.

"come in," i said with authorization hinted my voice.

the person opens the door and i realized it's my brother, 

martial law.

"oh, kuya! didn't expect you to come here" I spoke surprised at him...he rarely comes to my room... martial gaze down at me with an intimidating stare but i didn't break any sweat I'm used to this kind of thing with my brother.

"philip...i got a letter for you," he said gruffly he held a brown envelope that was sent from...

America.

i felt myself smile in glee but i hid it with a chuckle "kuya, you know there's a secretary that can give me this right?" i said a little nervously knowing my brother, not to mention martial is the one who gave me this letter in person. he most likely will just give it to a fellow soldier and send it to me.

"i know but that's not the only thing I'm here for..." he said lowly i felt my eyes widen a little when i saw the letter is torn open...

"Why didn't you tell me?.." he said with intimidation with a brow raised at my direction i felt myself gulp "s-so?" i cursed at myself on sounding small.

"you know what that American dog did to our country Philip" he sternly said gazing upon his darken eyes at me.

i only felt nervousness grow over me "ku-kuya don't call ame like that..." i said quietly trying to keep out the storm inside the room.

"i know what he did to my country i know he..." i wince a little at what my next answer will be..,
"lied...about giving our independence..." after i said that martial only chuckled darkly...

"that's not what i wanted to hear from you Philip" i felt his eyes drifted down to one of my drawers containing letters from ame.

"then...what do you want me to say?" i said rather confused feeling anxiety well up inside of me feeling my chest tighten trying hard to sound normal.
