*PHA POV*

I woke up early, I couldn't really sleep much. I decided to calm my nerves and go out to shop for ingredients for lunch with Ming's parents later. I was getting super nervous.

'Calm down Pha, you have 5 hours before you can officially panic' I though to myself.

Ming was still sleeping so peacefully in bed, I kisses his cheeks softly. He slowly opened his eyes.

"P'?It's still early..come back to bed"he groggily said.

"I can't sleep. I'm gonna go buy things for later" I replied.

"I'll come with you"he said as he tried to get up.

I stopped him and laid him back in bed. I lean in and kiss his lips.

"You Mr., stay in bed. I won't take long. I'll bring us breakfast when I get back"I told him.

"Please come back to me safely"he said.

"It's over Ming. Yo's in the psych unit and the other guy is in jail. I will be okay"I reassured him.

"Okay. Take care na?"he said.

I smiled and leaned in and kissed his cheek. He closes his eyes and goes back to sleep. He's just like a little kid. I stood up,got my bag and my keys and drove to the nearest supermarket.

I drove for a good 15 minutes and parked my car in the lot. I got out,locked my car and proceeded inside the grocery store.

I got a cart and my first stop was the vegetable aisle. I took out my list and went thru each and every ingredient. 1 hour in and I was already finished with my grocery shopping. I went and paid for my groceries.

"That's a lot of food my dear boy, you having a party?If you don't mind me asking"the eldery cashier lady asked.

"Umm.. cooking lunch for my lover's parents. It's my first time meeting them"I answered.

"Aww.. such a good boy you are. I'm sure your future in-laws would love you"she said.

"I hope so too... I'm quite nervous"I said.

"Nonsense. Just be yourself, everything will be okay. Good luck"she said as she handed me my change.

"Thank you Auntie" I said as I loaded the bags of grocery onto the cart and proceeded to their food court to get Ming and I some breakfast.

Once I was done getting the food, I wheeled the cart towards my car. I unlocked my car and loaded everything inside. I got inside and starting heading home.

I drove as fast as I could because I know he'll already waiting for me. I parked in the lot and there he was at the lobby waiting for me. He instantly went to where I was and opened the trunk. I got out and went to the back.

"I thought I told you to rest"I said as I poked him.

"But P', you were taking too long. I was worried"he pouted.

"You're too dramatic. I didn't take that long" I told him.

"Yes you did. Now let's go upstairs and eat.. I am hungry!"he whined as he then took some of the bags and helped me carried them to his apartment.
