"I was supposed to give this to you next time but I think this might be the right time." He chuckled.

"What is it?" I asked curiously. He smiled, marahang inalalayan niya ako pahiga sa sofa at humalik sa pisngi ko.

"I'll be right back," aniya bago umalis.

I smiled softly.

Chance is really a gentleman. Hininaan niya ang aircon para 'di ako lamigin, inayos ko ang robe na tinaklob niya muna sa akin habang nagpunta kung saan.

When he was back, he was holding a black box. Naupo akong bahagya nang lumuhod siya sa harapan ko at ngumiti.

"I got this for you," he said and showed me the box.

"What is it?"

Ngumiti siya sa akin, lumubog ang dimples niya roon kaya mas nangiti ako. "

Stop smiling, baby boy, baka ma-kiss kita."

He chuckled at that, marahang binuksan niya ang box at nanlaki ang mata ko nang may makita akong necklace sa loob nito.

"Wow..." I gasped when he lifted it up for me to see.

It was a white gold necklace with a very small palette as a pendant. Sa sobrang liit no'n ay 'di mo maiisip na gano'n ang hugis unless hahawakan at tititigan.

I saw small gems with colors in it to make it look like a palette, may maliit na paintbrush pang katabi kaya nakagat ko ang labi ko.

"I've always wanted to have a necklace like this, Chance!" I exclaimed happily. "Oh my God, where did you buy this?"

"I customized it," he answered casually. Nahulog ang panga ko.

"R-really?"

"Yes," he said. "I thought you'd like this, I tried searching in jewelry stores but found none I think you'd like so I just..."

"Oh my God, thank you!" I almost teared up and jumped on him. Sinalo niya ako, dahil nakaluhod siya sa harapan ko ay matumba na kami sa lapag.

He laughed heartily.

"Do you like it?"

"Of course! Ang ganda-ganda kaya!" I exclaimed and squeezed him more to me.

Nanatili kaming magkayakap. Pinapakalma ko pa ang pusong nagwawala at nasa gano'ng ayos kami nang tumikhim siya pagkaraan.

"Baby doll, we... should separate," he then said raspily.

"Huh?" I asked.

"I..." Tumikhim siya. "You're naked and I'm turned on."

Napakurap ako, sumulyap ako sa katawan at pinigil ang ngisi. I followed his gaze as he drank me in, his eyes staying in my breast bago siya natauhan at pinulot ang robe para iabot sa 'kin.

"Gusto mo?" I smirked at him at napapikit nang pitikin niya ang noo ko.

"Brat, I am supposed to paint you, right?" he muttered kaya ngumuso ako at tumango sa kanya.

"Sabi ko nga,"

He knelt in front of me, slowly moving my hair away from my chest so he could fix the necklace on my neck.

It made me smile. Marahang humawak ako roon pagkatapos niyang ilagay sa leeg ko at pinagmasdan ito.

"It's beautiful..." I said admired. "Thank you so much, baby boy."

He slowly touched my cheek, napapikit ako nang ilapit niya ang mukha sa akin at hinalikan ang labi ko.

"Anything for you, Daru." He pinched my nose. "Come on my subject, undress for the artist?" he raised his brow kaya tumango ako at natawa.
