Take A Chance With Me

26: unbreakable

------------------

The golden morning light poured through the large glass windows of Maven and Cress's shared house. After the majestic night they shared, the couple became more deep into each other.

Their life together was something others often envied—a dream realized after years of hard work, patience, and love.

Maven sat at the dining table, her sketches spread across the surface as her pen glided over the paper. Her vision for her own architecture firm was slowly taking shape.

Across the room, Cress, dressed in her neatly ironed nurse uniform, sat on the couch with her laptop open, finalizing edits for her next novel.

“Ang sipag mo na naman” Maven teased, her voice light. She looked up from her blueprint and smiled at Cress. “Di ba dapat late ka today? Bakit ang aga mong gumising?”

Cress chuckled, brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "I want to finish the pending chapters of Afterglow bago pumasok. Tsaka, big day natin today, remember? I got promoted, ikaw naman, launching ng firm mo soon. Deserve natin mag-celebrate mamaya.”

“Proud na proud ako sa'yo” Maven said, standing up and crossing the room to kiss Cress on the forehead. “You're amazing, alam mo ba ‘yun?”

Cress blushed but grinned. “Tell me something I don't know love" She joked.

"So hangin ha" Maven chuckled

"Pero ikaw din. Ang dami mong projects, yet you still find time for me.” Bawi ni Cress at humarap sa kanyang nobya.

"Of course, mas priority kita" Maven smiled

Cress cooed and threw a playful jab on her "Cheesy mo ha, what you need?" She pried.

"Kiss!" Maven quickly answered, slowly grinning.

"Sabi na eh" Analein shook her head in disbelief and amusement. "Naaaddict ka na sa labi ko" She tsk.

"You didn't let me to use vape" Maven argued "Kaya labi mo nalang ang hihipakin ko" She added mischievously.

Cress raised an eyebrow "Eh kung sapakin kita?" She squinted her eyes.

"Ang damot, walang puso, hindi mo na ako mahal" Maven's tantrum is unbelievable.

The sudden shift of her mood always left Analein speechless, even she knew it was only a joke she still can't believe that Maven has this side.

"Wow, hindi lang kita na kiss, parang ang samang tao ko bigla?"  She scoffed and Maven pouted more, scooting and caging her between her arms.

"Kiss na kasi" She puckered her lips pero sinipit lang iyon ni Cress gamit ang daliri niya.

"Hmp, babe naman eh" Maven glared at her cutely, pouting even more. "Kiss lang an—"

Cress leaned and sealed their lips into a lingering kiss, low-key shutting up Maven's childish banter.

After a few seconds, she was about to pull out but Maven caught her nape and didn't let her, crashing their lips again.

'scam sa kiss lang'

A minute passed and both of them were panting as they pulled out. Cress quickly hit Maven in her arms.

"Lips abuse ka" She said between breaths. Maven crunch her nose.

"Nag enjoy ka din" She replied with a playful grin. "Tara hatid na kita sa work, baka hindi ka makapasok pag hindi ako nakap—"
