Chapter Forty Five: That Time

"What?"

I wondered sometimes how many times have I manifested a love so good, so true, so unreal, for it to actually happen right in front of me.

He smiled at me and pulled me closer by grabbing me by my wrist.

"You're so beautiful," he whispers, placing his arm around my waist.

I was just a kid when I dreamt of becoming a princess just like the Disney princesses.

They always found their happy ending and their prince charming at the end of their story, I've dreamt of it too.

I'm not gonna lie, I wanted Alexander to be my prince charming and I can't believe it.

He's mine now.

He's my prince charming.

Sinong magaakala na magiging akin din siya, na magiging prinsipe siya ng love story ko?

Pinangarap ko 'to, matagal na, but I knew I had to give up because of reality that he didn't love me but in fact... he does love me.

He had his reasons.

"You smell so good... Rina..."

He has his reasons and I know I told him to not tell me because of my excuses that mattered to me and to what our future relationship might be.

Alam ko na sasabihin niya sa'kin ang totoo, pero these days parang gusto ko ng malaman kung ano ba talaga ang dahilan.

"W-Wait... A-Alexander... oh..." ungol ko sabay hila sa buhok niya.

"Hm?"

But is this what it truly feels like to have your own prince charming?

Sometimes it can be too much because it's unreal.

Is this my dream come true? Is he?

"I love you, Rina..."

Fuck.

This can't be real.

"I love you--"

Namulat agad ako ng marinig ko yung alarm galing sa cellphone ko.

I had to close my eyes and open it back again dahil 'di ako makapaniwala sa napaginipan ko.

What the heck?

My dream was literally me and Alexander... almost doing it. Like actually doing it. Nababaliw na ba talaga ako o matagal na 'kong baliw?

I mean, yeah?

I do have feelings for him at doon din papunta ang relasyon namin ngayon pero talaga yo'n pa ang napaginipan ko?

I must have a perverted mind last night because no, I've gone crazy.

Maaga pa at nagising na 'ko dahil baka ano pang mapaginipan ko.

Maganda naman yung panaginip pero ewan ko ba, I don't want to think of that right now.

This is about to be a serious relationship not something lustful or friends with benefits.

But shit, napaginipan ko rin yung abs niya, wow, just wow.

Pati na rin sa panaginip ko nakakalaway yung abs niya, peste.

Bago ako naligo, biglang tumunog yung cellphone ko.
