"Should I dust this too? Mukha namang malinis eh." I asked Rico. Naglilinis ako ng bahay... buong bahay! Shit. Was it this hard? Talaga bang kailangan kong isa-isahin yung mga bookshelves sa enourmous library ni Author?

Tsk.

"You don't have to... you know that. Ako na lang ang maglilinis nyan after this." He said as he glanced at his draft. Gumagawa na kase sya ng plano. Eh alangan namang tumunganga lang ako?

I sighed. "No. I should be the one to do this. Babae ako."

He smiled at me. "Are you practicing your domestic skills?"

"Heh!" Binato ko sya ng basahan. Tawa lang sya ng tawa. =.=

Sa loob ng two weeks na yan, palagi nya akong binibiro about this marriage thingy. Adik lang? Asa naman syang magpapakasal ako sa kanya... agad?

Madami pa 'kong gustong gawin sa buhay no!

I want to try my hands on acting. Pamihadong pag-aagawan agad ako ng mga TV networks. In less than a year, I'll be super sikat na. And when I am too popular to handle, I'll drop the bomb and marry him.

Whahaha... ang saya lang isipin kung gaano kalaki ang panghihinayang ng mga tao here and abroad if that happens.

"Why are you smiling?" He asked.

I shrugged. "Nothing. I'm just thinking of something good."

"Was I in it?"

"No." Sagot ko. He pouted. Ay... bat ba kase ang cute cute nya? He's so boyish. And macho at times. And pogi. And gwapo... haaay...

If I go on, I'd swoon.

"Bakit hindi ako kasama?" May halong pagtatampo sa boses nya.

I smiled at him. "Syempre, nasa reality na kita. I shouldn't be dreaming about you because I already have you."

"Eh bakit ako palagi kang kasama sa mga pangarap ko?" May bahid pa rin ng tampo sa boses nya.

"Aba ewan ko sa 'yo."

"Ang daya."

"Oh shush! It's not a big deal!"

"For me it is." He started focusing on his work. Hala... nagtampo na nga. Tinabihan ko sya. Then I held his face saka ko iniharap sa 'kin.

For additional good measure, I kissed him on the lips. Smack lang.

"My daydreams are reserved for things that I long to have. Don't worry, they are superficial things. Unlike you. You're real. You're here with me... I shouldn't be daydreaming about you because you already occupy my reality. Kaya ikaw... wag kang magtampo, okay?"

He flashed me a dashing smile. "You're getting cheesy."

I puffed out some air. "Kasalanan mo kase. Gusto palaging nilalambing."

"Syempre." He leaned forward and we kissed again. "I love you." He whispered against my lips.

"I-I..."

Lumayo sya ng bahagya tapos hinawakan yung pisngi ko. "It's okay. If you can't say it, don't force yourself."

"Won't that be unfair to you?"

He smiled. "Love isn't a question my dear. If I say I love you, it doesn't necessarily require an answer from you. Love should be given unconditionally."

"Ang lalim... kanino mo natutunan yan?"

"Kay Author... hehe... speaking of which, look at my plan. Is it any good?"

Inilahad nya yung blueprint ng bahay na kagabi pa nya pinaglalamayan. He looked at me again as if inquiring.

"So... what do you think?"

"WOW." I felt so proud. Megash! Sana yun na lang ang plano ng bahay namin! TT^TT "Where did you get the idea?"

"Dream house natin... sana. Eh kase hindi naman tayo makakaalis dito kung wala akong planong maibibigay kay Author so I decided to go with what's been hanging inside my head for a very long time."

"Nakakainis naman kase si Author eh."

"Don't worry. I'll think of a better one to top this."

Niyakap ko sya. "I love you Rico."

There. I said it. I felt him stiffen. Tapos huminga sya ng malalim. I even felt him shudder. I looked up at him with confusion and saw him smiling from ear to ear.

"What?! Did I say it wrong?"

He laughed at my reaction. Then he pulled me to him and kissed the side of my head.

"No... you said it perfectly. Thank you mahal ko."

I will never get into showbiz. Binabawi ko na. I'll marry him anytime... he just have to ask. Haaay Rico, if you only knew how happy I am with you...
