Then There Was You

Den's POV

I woke up in the bed feeling Aly's warm hug. I took a glance on the clock and saw that it's 6 am already. Aly needs to go to work at 7.

"Baby, wake up." I said kissing his cheeks.

He hummed while his eyes are still closed.

"Aljohn, wake up." I whispered in his ears.

He suddenly opened his eyes then he looks at me. He hates it when I'm calling him Aljohn.

"It's too early, Den." He said then hugs me.

"Himala, you're not mad when I called you Aljohn."

"Sort of. Hey, wanna know what's my dream?"

"You better make sure that they're not naked girls."

"Of course." He said then kissed my cheeks.

"So, about your dream?"

"Ah, yeah. I dream about my mom. We were in a garden."

"You what?"

"Do I need to repeat it?"

"No, I'm just shock. Remember you told me about where you stay when you're in coma? You said, your Mom stays with you in a garden. Are you okay? May masakit ba sayo?"

He shook his head and hugs me tighter.

"Den, I'm fine. Maybe I just missed her that's why she visited me in my sleep."

"If your mom asks you to come with her, don't you dare!"

"Of course. But, hey why did you woke me up so early?"

"May pasok ka pa."

"It's my off today." He said.

"I'm leaving later. You want to drive me on the airport?"

"Sure. Behave in the Philippines, okay? I'll make sure to finish my work here as soon as I can." He said.

We ended up cuddling each other. Aly's cold when it comes to others but he's really warm, sweet and baby when it comes to me. He's my number one baby, number one kasi siyempre magkaka baby pa kami. Aly's 29 and I'm 26, I guess it's the perfect age for us to build our own family. I already achieved many things while I'm with Aly. I got my Bachelor and Master's Degree, I became the President of ARVLDZ Malls, I have a very supportive, loving and understanding fiancee. I also have a second father who treats me as his real daughter. I couldn't ask for more. I'm really happy with them.

"What are you thinking about?" Aly asks.

He hugs me tighter. I'll miss his warmth but I can't complain about that, we need to do this for our future. We need to work hard for the family that we're going to build.

"I'm thinking about our future kids."

"You're that excited to have one?"

I smiled at him and I caressed his face.

"Of course. We've been together for 7 years and still we're not having our own baby." I said.

"Because, I don't want you to get distracted. I promise, after my work in here, we'll focus on our wedding and planning for our first baby." He said.

I gave him light kisses on his lips. I'm always visiting my OB because Aly asked me to use contraceptives. He wants me to graduate first and to enjoy our time being together. I guess 7 years is more than enough.
