Be Mine

67

It's six in the morning and Caloy just got in from a four-day business trip. He is currently at the airport, waiting for the office driver. Usually, he would arrive after lunch during these kinds of work schedule and take the rest of the day off, but he has an important client meeting at 9AM and then a shoot at 2PM. Just thinking about his schedule makes him want to sulk. The only thing he looks forward to is to have dinner with Lia and spend some time with her.

The arrival area is starting to get busy and usually, the driver would arrive on time to pick him up but looks like it's taking a while. He would always be patient in times like these but sleepless nights and missing his girlfriend is not helping, making him annoyed.

He sighs and was about to call the driver, but a familiar car stopped in front of him. The windows rolled down and he saw the brightest smile that made his gloomy morning better.

"Car service for Mr. Concepcion?"

He chuckles. "Love! What... What are you doing here? What is this?"

"Can you please get in first?" Lia says while smiling.

He shakes his head in disbelief. Lia has done it again. He immediately opened the trunk of the car for his luggage and hopped on the passenger seat.

He didn't wait for any more second before planting a long and sweet kiss on her girlfriend's lips. When she pulled away, he cupped her face to plant another one. He really can't get enough of her so from her lips, he moved to her cheek then to her jaw, then to the side of her neck. He was enjoying giving her kisses when they heard a whistle from the guard that made him stop.

She giggles. "Mamaya na ang landi. Let's go na." She pushed him gently to his seat and reminded him to put on his seatbelt.

Caloy looks at Lia, who is just calm and always beautiful. This is not the first time that she drove for him. Actually, it has become a habit that when one of them doesn't have a car, especially on coding days, it's an unspoken rule that one would be a designated driver. It was a discussion that became an argument because Caloy wouldn't want Lia to drive him, except during his birthday surprise weeks ago, but she insisted and at least consider it to be their small bonding time together. He caved since his girlfriend wouldn't let him win anyway.

"How was your trip, Babe?"

He sighs. "Tiring, but I feel better now kasi ikaw ang sumundo. Thank you, Love." He says and placed a kiss at the back of her hand that he has been holding on to since she started driving.

She smiles. "No worries, Babe. Na miss rin kasi kita kaya I asked Kim to text me your schedule so I can personally pick you up and have our morning date. Sorry if na-late ako ng konti, nagluto pa kasi ako ng breakfast natin."

He smiles, too. "Aba! Sino ba ang boss ni Kim dito? Parang mas ikaw pa ang sinusunod noon? What did you give her?"

She giggles. "Well, not just her, the team got 3 boxes of cupcakes while you were gone. I let them try the new flavor."

He pouts. "Kaya ang tataba na nung mga yun eh. Kung ano-ano pinapadala mo sa opisina. How about me? When will I get to taste the new flavor?"

Lia stepped on the brake when they reached a stoplight and faced him. "Don't worry, mas masarap yung matitikman mo. How about tonight?" she says, and he knows that they are not talking about the cupcake anymore. He reached for her once again to give her a kiss.

"Can't wait..." he tells his naughty girlfriend.

They arrived at his office building at seven and the floor is still quiet because it was way too early, a few were already there, greeting them good morning. They entered his office and because he couldn't wait any longer, he pulled Lia on the couch, letting her sit on his lap.
