Second Chance

Chapter 40

B

I woke up the next morning when I felt someone kissing me over and over again. I open my eyes and saw who the culprit was. Napangiti ako and gave her a hug making her shriek.

" Aaah! Hahhahahahaha!"

" Kaya pala sabi ko ang cute naman ng alarm ko. Ikaw pala eh." sabi ko. Tumawa naman siya and kissed me again.

" Good morning."

" Morning, love." sagot ko and planted a kiss on her hair.

" What time flight niyo ni Kat?"

" Mamaya pang 4:00 pm." she replied.

" Di na kami papasok today. So I'm all yours, Love" ngisi niya

" Talaga ba?" I asked and she nodded in reply.

" Yes. So what do you want to do today Ms. De Leon? Do you have to be at the studio?"

" Nope. I'm on leave until tomorrow. Magkakasama naman kami on our first 2 weeks in Singapore eh."

" Ano nga ulit yung project niyo dun?"

" It's a magazine shoot eh. We actually bagged that project a few months ago pa tapos nasakto na nafinalize yung schedules nila on the week I planned on visiting Ate Lara and Theo. Kaya ayun. It's for a fashion event daw sa Singapore." kwento ko.

" Wow. Bigtime na pala baby ko. Pa-autograph naman ako bago ka sumikat." she teased. Hinalikan ko siya and she giggled at me.

" You don't have to ask. I'm all yours babe." sabi ko

" Line ko yan eh. Gaya-gaya to." irap niya. Natawa naman ako saka siya niyakap ng mahigpit and tickled her all over her body.

" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BEA! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA! AYOKO NA! HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

" Sabihin mo munang love mo ko!" I told her.

" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, I--I LOVE YOU! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

" Ano?! can't hear you, love. Nabibingi ata ako." asar ko pa. She held me by the face making me stop tickling her saka siya mabilis na humalik sa akin.

" I love you. I will never get tired of loving you. And I will love you until the world stops turning and until the stars stops twinkling."

It wasn't the first time she made me feel loved but the way she said those words made my heart swell. And I knew right there and then that we will be loving each other until the end of time.

Since she'll be going out of town in the afternoon, we decided to just stay in her condo. I helped her in packing her things for their 3-day stay at Deanna's place and I even volunteered to cook lunch for her. Kagabi, she surprised me by preparing all of my favorite foods. She even made an effort to make my favorite cheesecake. Tapos we watched several movies in her laptop and I told her about the things we did in Singapore. Yung mga kinain naming masasarap na Hainanese dishes. The Laksa soup I ate na sure akong magugustuhan niya rin and many more. Tapos kinuwento ko si Theo sa kanya na palaging nangungulit na kausapin siya pero kapag tatawag na kami ay lagi namang tulog na. She was laughing at all the funny stories I told her and she got worried when she learned that I got sick during my stay there. Pero nagalit nung nalaman na kasalanan ko naman. Kasi I ate too much spicy food and hindi naman ako sanay sa maanghang unlike her na sobrang paborito na ata yun. I also told her how I managed to convinced a publisher to have my book printed. They produced a total of 14 copies only. Yung isa, iniwan ko kay Ate Lara, the other one, we sent to mom then yung isa saken then for the studio and one each for her and her friends tapos yung natira, kinuha ng publisher because they were amazed by the photos I took. She was smiling all throughout my story and I can say na she's proud of what I've accomplished. But there was something I forgot to tell her last night. Dala na rin siguro ng pagod and na-overwhelm ako sa saya ko when I saw her and sa excitement na nararamdaman ko habang kinukwento ko yung nangyari samin nina Kianna and my adventures with Theo.
