"So I'll see you again later my Queen. Hmm?" Dylan said as he bid goodbye to his Queen whom he drove to the University.

Chukling, Krislene spoke, "Dylan, you've been telling me the same thing for like three times. Pero ayaw mo naman akong palabasin ng sasakyan."

Dylan sighed as he leaned his back on the car seat while holding his Queen's hand. "I always wanted to be with you and be near you all the time. Lalo na at may mga manliligaw ka sa tabi-tabi. But I also need to work." Then Dylan turned to her once again, cupped her face and gave a long peck of kiss on her lips. "So hurry up. Do your best so you could graduate already. I want to be with you 24/7."

Krislene smiled sweetly at him. "24/7 means?"

He smiled, "Of course, I'll ask your hand in marriage."

"Ganon kabilis? Hindi ba pwedeng boyfriend-girlfriend muna then palagi tayo magkasama?"

At umaktong nag-iisip si Dylan bago ito muli magsalita, "On a second thought you're right. For sure hindi agad papayag ang parents mo. So I need to build myself to them some more."

Krislene lightly pinched his cheeks. "You don't have to because I know they like you from the very start."

Ngumiti ito ng matamis sa kanya pero maya-maya ay bigla ulit sumimangot. "I really don't want to go to work."

"Nope! You're the boss so you have a lot of duties and responsibilities. Isa pa, araw-araw mo naman akong hinahatid-sundo eh."

"But still..." Dylan trailed-off and sighed once again.

Honestly, his King is being a kid right now. And she also likes this side of him. Clingy.

"Okay how about this, I'll stay for the night later in your place. Pwede na ba 'yon para hindi maging grumpy ang boyfriend ko?"

At bigla nalang ngumiti ng malapad si Dylan na ikinatawa nya. Talaga ngang nagpapalambing sa kanya ang loko.

"I'll hold on to that. Fuck! I'm excited! I'll buy all of your favorite foods later." Dylan said excitedly.

"Alright!"

"So, I'll see you later my Queen. Hmm?"

"Is that the last one now? So I could go to class already?"

Dylan chuckled, "Yep! I love you my Queen!"

Then she's the one who kissed him on the lips this time. "I love you too my King. Take care on your way and see you later."

And as soon as she got out of the car, she started walking towards the University hallway when she heard Dylan shouting, "Don't get near that Lucas!"

She laughed then turned to him once again, and saw Dylan looking at her while the car's window is rolled down so she waved at him. "Yes po! Don't worry. I'm only yours!"

Then Dylan mouthed 'mine' while pointing to himself.

So possessive and sweet at the same time. Damn! I'm falling so hard.

During lunch break—after they eat—Krislene, Serein and Summer are currently at the restroom to freshen up. At sa kanilang lahat, sya ang pinaka-unang natapos. Hindi naman na kasi nya kailangang magpaganda dahil natural ang ganda nya. Hindi naman sa nagbubuhat ng bangko pero parang gano'n na rin. Lipstick lang and pressed powder okay na. Ang dalawa naman nyang kasama, natural na rin naman ang ganda pero mas inuuna ang pagchichikahan kaya natatagalan.

So while waiting for them to finish, she decided to fix her handbag. Kulang nalang kasi, mag hide-and-seek ang mga gamit nya dahil hindi ito organized. At sa kalagitnaan ng pag-aayos nya, napangiti sya nang makita nya ang nag-iisang remembrance nya mula sa kababata nya.
