We remained hugging each other, feeling the warmth of our bodies while still standing beside my room's door, slightly swaying even without music.

"I've been dreaming of this, Baby", I smiled upon hearing his sweet voice. His lips were brushing on top of my ear, "I've been longing to hold you this way".

I hugged him tighter and buried my face on his chest and before I could respond to him, we suddenly heard a knock coming from the outside.

"Czai?", my eyes widened and I quickly pushed Edzel away from me when I heard mom's voice.

"Oh my god!", I whispered panicking but Edzel looks so calm, "What the fuck, Edzel? Hide!", I mouthed as I leaned my body on the door, remembering that Edzel didn't lock it. Damn it!

He frowned at me before turning his back to go to my comfort room. When I was sure he's already hiding, I opened the door as soon as I fixed myself.

"Ma...", I swallowed hard and hid my hands at my back because they were shaking so much. My heart is beating so fast I could faint any minute now because of too much nervousness.

"Czairina", she sighed a relief, "We've been looking for you. You weren't answering your phone. Where have you been?", I felt so guilty when I heard how worried they were for me.

"I'm sorry for making you worried, Ma. I was just around the hotel with Sam and Edzel. Uh... Edzel kind of toured us around the hotel", I couldn't look at her while saying my lies. When did I ever become this good in lying?

"Czarina Aleah, how many times do I have to tell you to call Edzel your Kuya? He's still older than you", I heard her disappointment. She really was expecting me to treat Edzel as my Kuya? Damn it! How will he become that person when he's basically my boyfriend now? I wanna laugh, a sarcastic one.

"I... I always forgot, Ma. Sorry po", I pinched my fingers at my back, diverting the little pinches inside my chest.

She nodded, "Are you okay to be alone in your room? Or do you want Cariza to be with you?", he soft voice now soothe me despite of having sour feeling inside.

"I'm fine, Ma. Don't worry. I was actually about to take a bath and rest when you knocked", I bit my tongue so hard.

"Okay. Take a rest now. Good night, my love", she kissed me on my forehead before proceeding to their room just beside mine.

"Good night, Ma. Sleep well", she smiled at me before we both closed our doors.

I sighed and closed my eyes, trying to relax the random emotions I am feeling right now. There's just a lot, I couldn't handle all of them.

"When are you planning to tell them about us?"

I opened my eyes and pouted as I turned around to see Edzel crossing his arms on his chest. He's leaning sideways on the wall. He doesn't looked so pleased, he's a bit annoyed actually. He was also like this when we had a small fight about my request to him last year about keeping his courtship as a secret from our families.

I looked down on my fingers while I unconsciously played them.

"Don't tell me you'll ask me again to keep us, Aleah?"
