I snapped Theodore's hand away from me when he tried to tickle me again. I shot him a death glare, "Tigilan mo Theo," he gulped and smiled awkwardly then he pouted, "Sungit naman, Miss!"

I rolled my eyes which made him laugh. We're currently inside my room. Ngayon lang ulit kami nagkita dahil parehas kaming naging busy sa trabaho at dahil na rin sa virus. Since he is a doctor, he's most likely to be more cautious, kahit nga pagpunta niya rito sa bahay ay nagpapa-swab pa rin siya, aniya'y para raw mas makasigurado at para na rin sa safety ng pamilya ko. I find it sweet though, but I won't ever tell him about it 'cause he'll just brag about him being the best boyfriend in the world.

I can't help but grin, "Miss, give me your attention! Natatakot na ako sayo, ngumingisi ka na lang bigla," I laughed loudly, naramdaman ko naman ang paglapit niya bigla, he then kissed my cheek soundly which made me stop laughing.

"Ang ganda mo talaga," he whispered then he sniffed on my hair. I tried to hide my smile but I can't really afford to do it specially when he's being like this.


"May ginagawa ako, Theo," I reminded him when he didn't stop cuddling me.

"Mamaya na 'yang trabaho, bebe time!" he kissed my jaw lightly and pulled me with him to cuddle on the bed.

I frowned while glaring at his back, he's only wearing his sweat pants with nothing on top but a messy hair, "Nararamdaman ko 'yang titig mo, ayoko pang mamatay!"


I smirked but I got startled when Theodore suddenly pulled me on the bed with him, akala ko pa nga'y mauuntog ang ulo ko ngunit sinigurado naman niyang hindi iyon matatamaan. I ended up lying on top of him while he was laying on my bed, it was as if he served as my bed instead.

He brushed my hair ngunit bago pa ako makatulog ay ipinatong ko na ang aking braso upang maiangat ang ulo at matitigan siya. Theodore looked flushed as I stared intently at him, I even saw how his ear suddenly turned red.

I lifted my finger and traced his brows down to his eyes, "You're really handsome, huh?" I smiled cheekily and looked at him.

His lips parted then he bit his bottom lip and licked it, "Love, you're making me crazy,"

I laughed and hid my face on his neck, I felt his hands caressing my hair, "Ang ganda mo," I smiled more and lightly bit his shoulder.


I heard him hissed, "Nangangagat!" I felt him sit but he still carried me which made me straddle him. I was grinning wickedly while looking at his distorted face. He still look handsome!

I quickly grabbed my phone and took a photo of him while I was on his lap, when he saw me taking a photo, he immediately grabbed my phone and held me closer to him, he then took a photo of us together. We did some goofy pose which I never imagined I'd do.


"Miss!" I quickly looked at his side when he called me only to be greeted by his kiss, I then heard the continuous sound of the camera. I grinned and closed my eyes while kissing him back, I even hooked my arms on the back of his head.



I felt him stiffened, I opened my eyes and saw how he unconsciously let go of my phone, I stopped kissing him and laughed loudly, "Mahina ka pala e," he glared at me and took my phone instead. I only stopped laughing when I saw him smiling widely while looking at my phone, I frowned and took a peek on my phone and saw that it was on the camera, so he was trying to take a picture of me, huh?




I smiled genuinely while looking at his eyes, "I love you, Theo," I felt my cheeks heating from embarassment because I rarely tell him that word so I immediately crooned like a baby on his neck. I heard his sexy chuckle then I felt his hands wrapping around my waist and pulling me closer.

"Gagi, kinikilig ako," he giggled manly and held my head with his hands, making me look at him, he then kissed my forehead gently, I closed my eyes and smiled.



Having Theodore by my side gave me comfort, sometimes I'd feel afraid, thinking that what if he'll leave me too? Kailanman ay hindi ako nagkaroon ng maayos na relasyon at iyon ang kinakatakot ko.

Theodore never failed to make me feel mixed emotions, be it happy, sad, excited or even angry. He even made me feel the butterflies in my stomach.


What he really made me feel is the warmth he gave me. I've never felt the warmth everyone is talking about. I was so used to being the independent lady and was surrounded by coldness, not until he came.

With him, I'd never regret taking risks and chances and I will willingly take everything to be with him.




I felt Theodore hugging me tighter, "Ikaw lang ang mamahalin ko, Heather, ngayon at sa mga susunod na bukas."
