In Time (Twist of Fate Series #1)

Twelve

"What are you doing here?" I asked Matmat, brows were knitted.

At these hour, people should be sleeping and not in front of others' house.

He inhaled deeple before walking forward and held my hands. I blinked twice. "My mother told me to choose happiness," he muttered. He was looking at my eyes intently.

I saw him gulped. "You're my happiness, Aemour. I want you, I like you, and I love you. I can't take this anymore. My heart..." he puts my left hand on his chest. "Is beating wildly because of you, my Aemour." He licked his lower lip. "Can I court you?" he asked with eagerness.

I smiled. Those words. I've been wanting to hear it from him. And now, the long wait is over.

I pulled him towards me and tiptoed to kiss him.

I enveloped his neck with my arms while kissing.

In front of our house, here in Cornelia Street, under the bright moon and glowy stars, we sealed our love.

Kanina ay malamig ang simoy dahil 2 AM pa lang ngunit dahil sa nag-aapoy na damdamin, init ang nararamdaman ko.

"I love you..." I woke up with a smile and scratched my eyes. Takte, panaginip?! Na naman?!

It's been days since I'm dreaming about that! Dahil kasi sa sinabi ni Millie ay walang araw na lumipas na hindi ko 'yon iniisip.

Tama naman siya, bakit hindi ko tanungin para hindi na ako mag-isip kung sino ang babaeng gusto niya.

Ngunit paano nga kung pangalan ko ang isasagot niya?

I giggled. I do na agad!

Nag-online ako para tignan kung may mga nag-order na ng mga crochet ko.

Napangiti ako nang makitang may mga tao pa rin na nakaka-appreciate ng mga handmade outfits.

Biglang lumabas sa screen ko ang walang mukha na chat heads. I-e-ex ko na sana kaya lang na-curious ako sa kung anong ini-chat nito sa 'kin.

Flynn Alejandro Matthew Escobar:
good morning Aemour :) are you busy?

Ah, so he deleted his previous profile photo? Takte,ano kaya reaksyon niya no'ng mabasa comments ko?! Or baka hindi naman pala niya nabasa.

'Di bale, ka-chat ko naman siya ngayon. I smiled like an idiot and screamed in a thin voice before replying.

Ophelia Aemour Raquel:

It showed that he immediately seen it and he is currently typing a reply.

Flynn Alejandro Matthew Escobar:

Ophelia Aemour Raquel:

Flynn Alejandro Matthew Escobar:

I put my tongue on the side of my cheek. I just remembered now... My agenda today is to sew crochets, review for the quizzes, and buy some groceries.

I sighed hardly. "Sorry, mother in law, baka next time na lang tayo magb-bonding," malungkot na tinig ko.

My brain told me to do important things first but my heart contradicts. Kaya ko namang gawin 'yong mga 'yon. Tsaka it's time to shine! Makaka-bonding ko si Tita at magpapa-goodshot ako!

Nasimulan ko nang manahi nung mga nakaraang araw at nakapag-advance read na ako kagabi bago matulog. Kailangan ko lang muna na mag-grocery ngayong umaga at turuan si Tita 'pag uwi ko.
