Then There Was You

Den's POV

Aly was really shock to see me in front of his door but he hugged me quickly.

"Tumakas ka na naman ba kay Dad?" He asks.

He carried my bag and pulled my hand so that I can enter inside the house. It's really cold outside.

"No, nagpaalam ako kay Dad na I'll stay here with you for 3 days." I answered.

He hugs me tightly.

"I really missed you, Dennise."

"I missed you too, Babe! That's why I convinced Dad." I smiled at him.

"Ly. Let's take a walk outside."

"Aren't you tired?"

"Hmm nope. Besides, gusto kong sulitin tong 3 days ko with you." I kissed his cheeks.

He's really tall that I had to tiptoe to reach him.

"Alright. Let's walk. But first, change your clothes. Wear something thicker than that." He said.

I did what he told me. I gave him a little show. That's what Aly loves. He loves teasing.

"Should we stay in here and roll in the bed?" He asks while his arms are hugging my waist.

"I want to have a walk with you."

"Let's walk later." He whispered in my ear.

I turned around to face him he was about to kiss me but I stopped him by placing my index finger on his lips. He furrowed his brows.

"You sure we're just going to roll in the bed?" I ask while grinning.

He smirks at me then say, "Of course, we'll make love."

"Oh, not today Ly. We can't." I said.

"Uhm. Yeah, sorry. You have your period." He said then he gave me a peck on my lips.

I smiled. I really don't have my menstrual period now. I'm still planning about making him say yes. So, I think tomorrow will be the best time to make love and to talk about my real intention why I fly all the way here.

Aly waited for me to finish wearing thick clothes then we strolled outside, we intertwined our hands.

"Aren't you lonely in here?" I ask.

"I am lonely. You know? I always wanted to go back to our home. To hug you tight. But, I want to prove my Dad that we can do it. Tayo parin sa dulo."

"Hmm. Thank you for everything, Ly."

"You are always welcome."

"Ly, let's get married." I said.

"Of course, we are getting married."

"No, I want us to do it as soon as possible."

"Why are you in a rush?"

"Naisip ko lang na habang tumatagal, baka magbago yung isip mo. What if you meet someone here, tapos you realize that you want her instead of me. Paano kung nagsawa ka na sa akin?"

"Hey Den. That's not going to happen. We've been together for 7 years and I'm sure that I want to be with you until my last breath."

I hugged him tight. Sniffing his scent made me calm. I felt him hug me back. I can feel that I'm safe.

"I love you, Ly. Don't leave me, okay?"

"Of course, I won't. Unless you want me to."

"Don't leave kahit sabihin kong umalis ka. You know how stupid I am when I'm mad. But please, don't leave me."

"Den, okay, I won't leave. Kahit sabihin mo pa. I'll stick with you kahit mainis ka." He said while he's giggling.

I kissed his chest and we continued strolling around.
