It Had to be You (Valdemar Series #2)

Wakas

Wakas

The sunshine flashed through the window and hit my eye. I groaned and turned to the other side of the bed and wrapped my arms around her. Hinalikan ko ang balikat niya saka sumiksik sa kaniyang batok. I think I'm getting addicted to her natural scent. Pati ang mga damit ko ay amoy niya na.

She moaned and pulled the comforter to cover her chest. I kissed her back and hugged her tighter.

"Ayden, you're going to be late.."

I closed my eyes and pretended that I'm asleep. I don't want to go to work. I just wanna stay in bed next to her.

Bumaling siya sa akin at lalong hinila ang kumot para takpan ang katawan. I grinned and pulled it away from her. Malakas niyang tinampal ang braso ko saka umirap.

I love waking up next to her but I hate it sometimes. Tuwing umaga na lang ay laging dapat akong bumangon para sa trabaho. Can't we just stay here?

"Do I have to go to work? I'm still tired."

I yawned. Idinantay ko sa kaniya ang hita ko saka hinalikan muli ang balikat niya. She smiled and looked at me. Nanliliit ang mga mata niya habang pinagmamasdan ako.

"Paanong hindi ka mapapagod? E, umaariba ka!"

I frowned. "Umaariba? What does that mean?"

She rolled her eyes and giggled after. Hinila niya ang kumot saka inirolyo iyon sa katawan niya. She picked up my shirt on the floor and wore it. Umangat ang kilay ko nang ihagis niya sa akin ang kumot na ginamit.

"Bumangon ka na, Ayden."

That's it? Aalis na lang siya basta?

"Where's my morning kiss?" Reklamo ko.

Mahina akong natawa nang irapan niya lamang ako. I shook my head and went out of the bed. Dinampot ko ang lahat ng nagkalat na damit sa sahig saka palihim na ngumiti.

We go to our offices together. I always drop her to work every morning and fetch her in the afternoon. Ipinabago ko ang schedule ko para masiguradong masusundo ko ang asawa ko sa tamang oras. Anastasia doesn't really like to wait, ngunit kapag marami talagang gagawin ay ipinasusundo ko na lamang siya. Minsan naman ay gusto niyang magmaneho at kotse ko pa ang gusto niyang gamitin. She doesn't use company cars anymore, she said she doesn't want to remember bad memories.

The day we got married is the best day of my life. I made sure to hang our wedding picture in my office to let them see it. Kung minsan ay naiinis ako tuwing tinatanong ng mga investors ang pangalan niya. I always answer them with 'Mrs. Valdemar'.

Tahimik ko siyang pinagmasdan habang natutulog. Nahuli ako ng uwi kaya naman hindi ko siya nasundo. It was fine with her, though. She spent time with Faye and Amethyst before going home. Siguro ay pinag-usapan ang nalalapit na gender reveal ni Am.

I kissed her forehead and traced her chin. Marahan siyang gumalaw saka ibinukas ang mga mata. She smiled when she saw me.

"I'm home, Anastasia.."

She stared at me and held my cheeks. Kahit na kailan ay walang palya niyang pinagwawala ang puso ko.

"Welcome home, Ayden.."

I kissed her lips and sat down the edge of the bed. Akmang magsasalita na ako nang unahan niya ako.

"Can you please get me cereals?"

I chuckled. Sa tingin niya ba ay umaga na?

"It's still night, Asia.. You don't eat breakfast at night.."
