Parang hindi na ako makahinga sa kabog ng dibdib ko pagkatapos niyang itanong sa akin 'yon. I never expected him to do this much just to ask me to be his girlfriend. Habang nakayongin ako sa mata niya ay mas lalo lang bumibilis ang pagtibok ng puso ko. I never felt this special before, coming from an another person instead of my family is making my heart race.

Nakatingin lang ito sa akin habang halatang nininerbyos sa paghihintay ng sagot ko. I can't help but smile at him, he's so cute right now.

I raise my brow at him teasingly. "Wala ng ligawligaw?"

He chuckled. "Aelin, be mine and I'll court you forever." He said, seriously.

Napailing nalang ako sa kaniya. "Ngayon kailangan mo na akong sagutin, I won't take no for an answer."

My face immediately shows how shock I am. "What the hell does that even mean?"

"It means you have no choice but to say yes and be mine. Come on, answer me." He urged me.

I sigh, still doubting him, I look away and fiddled with my skirt. "I don't know. I jusㅡ"

He suddenly grabs my arm and made me straddle his lap and pulled my head as he leans in. His soft lips collided with mine in a soft but endearing kiss. Hindi ako nakagalaw sa gulat habang ang mata ko'y nakabukas parin. Maya't maya ay napapikit na ako sa halikan naming dalawa.

My breathing hitched when he licks the bottom of my lips and bit it softly. I didn't know what he meant for a while until he suddenly gropes my ass and that made me gasps in surprise. He took this opportunity to insert his tongue inside my mouth and travels his tongue around my mouth and I later on copied the ways his lips moves and the kiss continued on.

Naghiwalay lang kami ng labi nung nawalan na kami ng hininga at napasandal ang ulo nito sa nuo ko. We both chuckled breathlessly.

He kisses my nose gently. "I kissed you, that means you're mine."

I let out a laugh and punch his arm lightly. "You're so annoying! Hindi pa naman ako nagsasabi ng sagot ko eh."

"Binigyan ba kita ng pagpipilian mo?" He inquires. I shake my head and pouted.

He sighs. "Alright, what's your answer?"

"Yes!" I beamed and hug him tightly, kaagad naman ako nitong niyakap ng mahigpit habang nagdiriwang ng malakas. It was already late at night at kailangan ko ng umuwi kaya pagkatapos nun ay nagtulungan kaming magligpit at magkasamang naglakad paalis sa lugar kung saan naging kami.

Even though, he's not supposed to be with me because he might hurt me but I'm willing to take that risk. I smiled inwardly. Hindi ako makapaniwalang may boyfriend na ako ngayon. My heart feels so full and I feel contented. My mind went to my father and I instantly panicked.

Paano ko 'to masasabi kay Papa?!

I immediately look up at Remus whose holdin my hand in a delicate manner. "C." Tawag ko dito.

He looks at me and smiled. "Yes, honey ko?"

"Are we gonna tell this to my family?" I worriedly asks.

He shrugs. "It's up to you, baby."

I sigh. "Parang hindi pa kasi pwede eh. You know? Baka hindi ako payagan kaagad."

"Aelin, kahit ano mang decision mo susuportahan ko pero make sure na makikilala kaagad ako ng daddy mo ha?" Clive said.
