"I hate surprises, kasi hindi ako sigurado kung nakakatuwa ba o hindi ang mga iyon. So I prefer to be informed than to be surprised." Sagot ko, tinanong niya kasi ako kung alin sa dalawa ang mas gusto ko.

We're still laying on the bed right now, he's hugging me while his face is on the crook of my neck, sometimes sniffing my skin. It sends tingling sensation down to my core. Tempting.

Cuddle. I always dreamed of doing stuff like this with him. Noon kasi, bago ako umalis ng bansa, we were too young to be sleeping in the same bed and then wake up while cuddling, kissing, hugging... pero ngayon, we can do this everytime, every night and day.

"Baby," he called,

"Hmm?" Inaantok ko pang tugon. I had a very good night sleep, and I woke up feeling way better, but his warmth is making me feel so comfortable, like it's pulling me into slumber again.

"Are you free for the whole day today?" He asked, using his husky voice.

"I just have to meet Lola Purple to discuss about some business matter, hindi ako sigurado kung matatagalan ako. Why?"

Gumapang ang kaniyang kamay sa aking pulsuhan, he caressed my skin for a while before he tilt his face to look at me, the tip of his nose touched my chin. Imbes na dumistansya ay gigil niyang iginalaw ang dulo ng kaniyang ilong sa aking baba. Natatawang hinawakan ko ang kaniyang buhok, at masuyo itong sinusuklay gamit ang aking mga daliri.

"I want to buy you a bracelet, let's go shopping later? When you're done with you're errands, of course." Sabi niya habang hinahaplos parin ang pulsuhan ko.

We agreed to go out after my appointment, to have a date. I already made sure that Isaah won't be a bother to us. I feel bad for not telling him about my real status with Jeremiah, but I will next time. I just want to slow our pace down, masyadong naging mabilis ang lahat sa amin noon, and I want to make a difference now. I hope I can. I hope my impulsive side won't get on my way.

I informed the assistant of Lola Purple about my arrival today, and since nasa mansyon si Lola Purple, doon ako dumiretso. It's been a long time since the last time I've been there, but for sure, walang nagbago sa mansyon. Hindi mahilig si Lola Purple sa renovation, lalo na kapag wala naman siyang nakikitang mahalagang rason para gawin iyon.

From Jeremiah:
I'll fetch you later? Is that fine?

To Jeremiah:
I brought my car with me.

From Jeremiah:
Ako na ang bahala. Can I fetch you?

Pigil ngisi akong nagtipa ng reply. He's so clingy, but I like it. I like him being this showy and vocal to me. Kapag iba ang gumagawa sa akin nito, nasusuka ako, kahit pa nga si Isaah. But then it's Jeremiah, so he's an exemption of course.

To Jeremiah:
Okay, I'll text you when I'm done here.

I was waiting for his response when Lola Purple's butler suddenly went to me, and informed me that I can now enter her study. I kept my phone inside my pocket, I felt it vibrated but didn't bother to check it.

Mamaya nalang. Mabilis lang naman siguro 'tu. I'll just tell her about my relationship with Jeremiah, I'll leave, and then spend the rest if my day with my boyfriend.

Naabutan ko si Lola Purple na minamasahe ang kaniyang sentido, her arm on the armrest of her accent chair, eyes closed, looking so problematic. She knew I'm already here inside, there's no doubt, so I didn't bother to speak.

Instead, I draw my way towards her. Tinanggal ko ang kamay na ginagamit niya para masahi-in ang kaniyang sentido at pinalitan ko ito ng akin. I used two fingers of my both hands to gently massage her.
