"Love! Come here, I wanna hug you!" Jasper shouted from the living room.

"I'm cooking!" I shouted back. He's being clingy again.

As expected lumapit siya saakin at niyakap ako. He buried his face in my neck sniffing it.

"Hey Jasper. Stop. I'm cooking. Don't disturb me. I need to perfect this." I said irritably.

He was shocked but didn't mind and stepped backward. Pinanood niya lang akong nagluto.

I know he was saddened by what I said but I really needed to perfect my recipe.

"I'm sorry." I whispered after we finished eating. He didn't respond. I shrug and washed our plates.

He went to our bedroom. I heard the shower poured. I sigh and ready his clothes. He's mad.

I left our room and went to the market. Some ingredients are running low. And I'm craving for Chocolates and Ice cream.

I was busy picking a flavor of Ice cream when Jasper called.

"Mango flavor." He just said then hang off.

Napamaang ako saka iritadong kinuha ang isang tub ng mango flavor. I smirk and get a 1 gallon of chocolate flavor. Then pumunta ako sa sweets lane at kumuha ng favorite kong chocolate brand, Lindt & Sprüngli. After I got all the things I needed to buy I when to the cashier and pay for it.

"Why is my ice cream small?" Jasper asked in a small voice when he saw his ice cream in a tub.

"Did you gave me a money? No. Did you said what litter or gallon? No. So don't complain why your ice cream is in tub." He just rolled his eyes and went to his side of the condo.

I went back putting the ingredients to its place. Nilagay ko rin muna sa freezer yong chocolates ko.

I went to the living room and watched Netflix while eating my chocolate ice cream.

At first this chocolate ice cream is so sweet in a point that I only ate 8 spoon scoops before putting it in the freezer.

Days have passed and Jasper isn't talking to me the way he talked before. He's not annoying me anymore. He only talks when I speak to him. I felt him being distant and I don't want that.

"Hey Love. Why are you being quiet? You don't seem to be yourself. Where is the Jasper I knew? The Jasper I loved?" I asked seriously.

"I don't know. Maybe because I'm tired of being the one who only give effort to make our relationship work. Or because I am tired being the sweet one." He said in boredom.

"What? Just because of that?" Unbelievable.

"Just? Yeah right. You'll never understand Cassi. You never considered what will I feel before you speak. You never listened to me. You always listen to yourself. You never understand me." He said before leaving.

I was left dumbfounded. Yon ba ang naramdaman niya? I didn't know that just because of what I said he'll turn into another person. If I wasn't just to obsses in perfecting my recipe we wouldn't end up like this.

I went to the kitchen and ate my chocolate but I immediately puked it.

"Why does this taste different?!" I said.

Then I remembered even the sweetest chocolate will expire. All sweetness will end.
