'Til I Found You (COMPLETED)

16

"You're always beautiful, babes", he gently pulls her for a kiss.

It is their company anniversary. He wishes to celebrate it with his parents but they couldn't make it as they are scheduled to arrive the succeeding week. They strut inside the venue with all eyes around them. His friends and some relatives are present in the celebration. All eyes are on them and he is glad to leave them at awe. His woman is the most beautiful among them. That is just one the many things that he loves about her.

But she trembles.

The last time wasn't a good one to remember. She roams her eyes around, smiling, but she hopes silently that no one else from her past would show up. Aga noticed her - troubled and uncomfortable. She almost bumped into the marching waiter with wine in a tray.

"Sorry. Sorry", she said.

"Relax, babes. Relax. Are you alright? Nanlalamig ang kamay mo", he tells her.

"I'm fine, babe. Don't mind me", she smiles to not worry him but Aga, as a concern man, feels her edginess.

"Come on. Tell me. What's wrong?", he asked.

"Babes, I'm fine. Really. Medyo kase maraming tao lang. They're eyes are on us and I ... I feel uncomfortable being stared like that"

He chuckles, "Don't be, babes. You know why they are staring?". He leans forward to whisper on her, "because I have the most beautiful woman next to me right now"

She rolls her eyes, "bolero"

"I am telling the truth. Which have me thinking to feel them more envious of you, shall we?", he lends his hand for a dance.

She sighed and smiled.

They dance along the classic music at the background. He loves to hear songs like it. That reminds him of her, seeing for the first time at that bar. Now, he is holding her. Kissing and hugging. He holds her waist closer like he's gonna lose her again. His lips find comfort on her forehead as he sways her. If only they could stay this way. No worries. No doubts. No problems. Just loving each other. Feeling each other's heartbeat. After that two-day plan of having her back, he is on cloud nine for days. She is back in his arms. This time he will never let her go.

"I love you", he uttered while foreheads linger to each other.

"Do I have to answer that?", she jests.

"It's up to you. Answer me or moan for me", he chuckles when Lea gently slap his chest. It's funny how small gesture she does makes his heart flutters. His friends jested him that he is head over heels in love at Lea. And he has no complain. Not at all.

The celebration runs smoothly. No aberrant. Inspite of the fact that he had a short span of time to prepare everything because he riveted on devising to have her back. Insane as what his friends called him but that was really him since Lea drawn line between them. He was feeling insane thinking how they ended just like that. He has plans. For them. For their future.

His friends, as usual, came late.

Max and William waved at him while he was catching up with some old friends with Lea next to him. He is so proud to hear her witty response to them. She is easy to get along with.

"Excuse us", he tells them. They paced where his friends are waiting. Tonight is his plan to introduce Lea. She laughs as he tells her about his friends' craziness.

"Babes, I'd like you to meet Max and William. They are my best buddies", he begun upon reaching the two.

But, then, Lea startled upon seeing them. That twinge in her heart acts up again. Another reason to remind her the gap between them. To remind her she's not the perfect one for him. To slap the truth on her that he is indeed out of her league.
