Wounded Memories (La Union Series #1)

"Are you gonna marry me or what?" he raised an eyebrow.

I cleared my throat and opened my mouth in an attempt to talk but my mouth run dry to even say a single word.

"Baby, talk.. you're making me nervous" he reached for my hand and gently squeezed it. Nervous is visible in his face.

"Where's my ring?"

Umawang ang kaniyang labi at matamang nakatitig saakin. This time, it's me who raised an eyebrow. He looks like he didn't expect that question coming from me.

"Walang singsing? Then, I'm allowed to refuse your proposal.. you have to present a ring first" I chuckled.

I'm not serious about it. I just want to see how will he reacts on it. He looked up and gulped, I am fascinated by that view for a moment. I groaned when he looked down at me again.

"You're declining me now? Akala ko ba fiancé na kita? I proposed to you two weeks ago!" he pouted.

"That's because I'm not thinking.. but now that I'm on my right mind, I will only accept you as my fiancé if you will give me a ring.." I crossed my arms.

"I'll give you a ring after we arrived at the port," he grinned before kissing the tap of my head.

Labis labis ang pagtahip ng aking dibdib lalo na nung makarating kami sa port. Theron already told me that we'll be meeting his sister. I don't know why I still feel guilty about everything. I just couldn't breathe in the fact that we're already in this stage. Adulting will always have that impact that can make me think too much about things sometimes.

"Hey.. you're sweating"

Tumingin ako kay Theron nung hinaplos niya ang aking noo para punasan ang mga pawis na namuo dahil sa labis na takot.

"I.. h-ow should I act? Do I look good? Do I need to change my clothes?"

He cupped my chin and made me look at him. He looks so serious and confused. I licked my lower lip and inhaled harshly.

"You are beautiful and you are mine," he tucked my hair behind my ear. He rubbed his thumb on my cheek while staring at me intently. "You don't have to change anything in order for them to like you... focus on me, just me. You don't need another attention"

"S-orry, I overreacted about this.." I looked down.

I felt his soft lips caressing my forehead down to the tip of my nose. He's seriously the sweetest and I love him!

"Kuya, Nifferty!"

Sabay kaming lumingon kay Trisha na nakahawak sa kamay ng isang guwapong lalaki. She smiled at me and immediately run to give me a tight hug. Napabitaw tuloy ako kay Theron. I heard him groaned because of that.

"My gosh! Two months lang tayong hindi nagkita pero pakiramdam ko gumanda ka lalo.. how do you maintain this small waist?" she touched my waist, like she's measuring it with her hands.

"Exercise?" I chuckled.

She pouted, "May kinalaman ba dito si Kuya? Hmm.." she looked at us suspiciously.

"What do you think?" Theron butt in. I glared at him but he just cooly shrugged his shoulders.

"Love, come here.. this is my kuya's true love Ate Nifferty. This is my husband, Anthony"

We shooked hands and smiled with each other. Theron cleared his throat to get my attention. Pinanlakihan ko siya ng mata.

"Seriously, kuya? Magseselos ka sa asawa ko? Ano ka, bata?" Trisha and I laughed at his face.
