Nice Game, Captain

"What do think about the design?"

I'm still staring at the design he showed me. He was standing in front of me while I was sitting on his sofa. I looked at him and slightly raise my brow.

"It's wonderful," I smiled and nodded. "You're really good."

"Ikaw ang mage-engineer nito," he said, laughing. "I can't wait."

Pinatong ko sa sofa 'yung laptop niya bago tumayo. He's smiling at me and quickly wrapped his arms around me.

"Do you like it?" He asked, staring at my eyes. I nodded at him. "Gusto kong malaman kung may gusto ka bang baguhin o wala?"

It melted my heart when I heard what he just said. Nakakatuwa lang kasi gusto niya rin malaman 'yung opinyon ko sa bahay na design niya. Wala naman na 'kong reklamo roon dahil maganda na 'yung pagkakagawa niya.

Umiling ako sa kaniya at ngumiti. "No, it's beautiful."

He slightly kissed me and parted his lips, eyes never leaving mine.

"I'm so happy, I have you in my life." He whispered and kissed me again. "No words can explain how much I love you."

I chuckled and wrapped my arms around his neck. I pulled him closer to me and slightly parted my lips too.

"I love you too." I whispered too before smiling wide. "Sobra rin akong nagpapasalamat sa 'yo kasi kasama mo 'ko sa kinabukasan mo."

"Wala na 'kong nakikitang ibang tao na makakasama ko sa kinabukasan ko kung hindi lang ikaw."

I gave him a slight nod. Hindi natin hawak ang panahon, Dominic. Wala tayong alam sa mangyayari bukas o sa susunod na araw at sa mga susunod pa.

"The girls have a plan for tomorrow," I informed him. Baka kasi makalimutan kong sabihin sa kaniya at umalis siya ng maaga bukas. "Bar lang, celebration for Cha's graduation."

"Enjoy your night tomorrow, love," ngumiti siya sa 'kin bago ako patakan ng halik sa noo. Bumitaw na rin siya sa 'kin at naglakad na papaunta sa may high chair. "I will prepare dinner."

"Graduation ni Lorraine next week," sabi ko at sumunod sa kaniya sa may breakfast table. Naupo ako sa tapat niya at ngumuso. "Punta tayo."

"I'll check my schedule, love," he gave a sad smile. "I'll try to catch up if I have an appointment with a client."

Sumimangot ako at mas lalong ngumuso. He laughed at me, looking at my reaction. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin pero binigay niya lang sa 'kin 'yung pagkain ko.

"Oo na, pupunta tayo." He gave up and raised both of his hands. "Love you."
