Chapter 29. 2: Happy 3 Month Anniversary!

I arrived at Cyl's house inside an exclusive subdivision in the city. Cyl transferred here two years ago, after we were officially together. He didn't even mention that he lived kilometres away from me at that time! I almost punched a woman, in his old condominium. Not knowing she was the new owner of the unit, it was our first fights and the funniest. Hell, it was embarrassing. I got out from my car and opened the gate with my spare key that was given by him. I opened the back passenger seat, got a bouquet of yellow tulips, and a little gift.

Maybe I should start saving up for house and lot like him. Having a condominium, feels isolating as the time goes by. Having a home like this with neighbours seems nice. I entered the pass code on Cyl's main door, I immediately climb the stairs to the second floor. I knocked twice on Cyl's bedroom door, still asleep.

I opened his bedroom door nonetheless, lo and behold Cyl himself in his boxers still sleeping. Cyl sprawled on bed, arms stretch out. He's a heavy sleeper and good thing he doesn't snore. I walked towards his bed, I fished out my phone from my shrub pockets and took some photographs of him. Adorable!

I lay down the flowers and the gift beside his head and took off my white rubber shoes, and climb in his bed. I positioned myself on top of him, my weight is supported by my knees as I made sure I didn't necessarily sat in his abdomen. I kissed chastely kiss his forehead, his nose, his cheeks, and lastly his lips. I did intend to linger my lips on his sleeps, and behold the charming man kissed back. I could feel his smile as he kisses me ever so gently.

Minutes after the make out session, I broke the kiss. " Good Morning, babe." He pecked my lips again, and grinned. " Happy third month anniversary!" I said, kissing him again. Cyl shake his head as he chortled at my joke. I got the flowers and the little gift I brought and give it to him. Cyl rose up and sat up, exposing his bare pectoralis and rectus abdominis.

He guffawed at my little surprise. "Happy third anniversary, babe." Cyl said as he raised his eyebrows on me, and studied me. " I just dropped by." I said cheekily. I stared at my boyfriend's state, dishevelled hair and droopy eye clearly needed some sleep. "Well, for starters it's fucking four A.M. and instead of having a break to sleep I thought that I would rather be here."

"I do appreciate the thought baby but you need some sleep." I snorted at what he said. Clearly I need some rest but he's like my vitamin. And he knew that, and that makes my heart swell with happiness. " I love you."

"I love you, Thia." He said as he leaned in for another chaste kiss. I got up from the bed, as much as I wanted to sleep beside him, I can't I still have to go back to the hospital. Duty calls ika nga nila.

"End shift ko tonight, I'll be at my unit first babe." I shouted as I walk out from his room.

Ending my shift today is by far one of my greatest joy in life. It's our third year anniversary, probably for someone out there being in a two or three year relationship is nothing but a small time. But for us both parties in this committed relationship, it was hella long enough. There were countless of fights and misunderstanding, countless of kisses and make outs, bottles and bottles of tears were shed, but none of it matters because being together this long is worth it. Plenty of mishaps, dinner dates, random trips, and family dinners were a bonus. I couldn't ask for more. I felt very blessed and lucky all this times.

I hastily jump out from my car as I parked in my condominium basement. I literally dashed off, and ride the elevator up to my floor. As the elevator announced the floor that I lived in, I jump out and run throughout the corridor. Not minding some onlookers within the corridor. What I am happy! Probably, the CCTV staffs are having worried and weird reaction, as I sprint along the corridors.

I immediately entered my pass code, when I realised that there is definitely is something wrong. I can't help but imagine some scary scenarios that happening around. Knowing that the door is oddly opened, I pushed it gently, peach black room welcomed me. "Saint? Saint?" I shouted, I slowly step inside, dropping my bag.

Both of my arms are spread out, feeling the walls. As I felt the switches, I flicked it on a tune came out from nowhere.

You are the one girl
And you know that it's true
I'm feeling younger
Every time that I'm alone with you

I entered my living room, the lights suddenly turned on revealing the the white helium balloons scattered around the ceiling. Polaroid pictures of me and Cyl's where lazy placed at the tail of the balloons.

We were sitting in a parked car
Stealing kisses in the front yard
We got questions we should not ask but

Red balloons and red/ white petals were hastily placed around my carpeted living room. Small LED candles were also in the vicinity.

How would you feel, if I told you I loved you?
It's just something that I want to do
I'll be taking my time, spending my life
Falling deeper in love with you
So tell me that you love me too

I looked at the Polaroid photos, hanged, one by one. I couldn't help but tear up, it was hell of a journey. The photos were candidly and randomly taken by me or him, it was one of the hobbies we enjoyed together.

In the summer, as the lilacs bloom
Love flows deeper than the river
Every moment that I spend with you
We were sat upon our best friend's roof
I had both of my arms round you
Watching the sunrise replace the moon

As look and reminisce the moments behind the photos, Cyl cleared his throat. I couldn't help but grin, I spun around to face Cyl and Saint? Saint has his little red little bow tie on, holding a stem of flower with his mouth of course. " Awwe, cute." I cooed.

How would you feel, if I told you I loved you?
It's just something that I want to do
I'll be taking my time, spending my life
Falling deeper in love with you
So tell me that you love me too

"I might have died out because of heart attack. I thought I was mugged. " I snorted as Cyl grinned. Cyl had a bouquet of multiple colour roses. He held out the bouquet, and accepted it. "Happy third anniversary, baby." Cyl said as I gave him a chaste kiss on his cheek. I studied the roses, whites, yellows, reds, pinks, purple blacks I do know that red is the meaning of love.

We were sitting in a parked car
Stealing kisses in the front yard
We got questions we shouldn't not ask

"May I have this dance my lady?" Cyl bowed, and lend out his right hand. I lay the bouquet on my sofa, as I take his hand. "Yes, you may my lord." We danced in the s to the tune of his favourite song.

How would you feel, if I told you I loved you?
It's just something that I want to do

"Babe? What's up with the multiple colors?" I asked, as we swayed. He smiled, and clear his throat. "Well, of course. Red is for love. I love you." He kissed my forehead.

"Yellow, for promise. Promise, I'll be here and be good." Cyl jokingly added the latter. I slightly slap his arms. "Purple, for care. I'll take care of you Thia." He kissed my nose, lightly.

I'll be taking my time, spending my life
Falling deeper in love with you

"White, for honesty. It's taken, I'm too honest for you." We guffawed at what he said. It's true, he can't lie and he's a terrible liar. He's too honest, too pure. "Seriously, I promise I'll be honest and you won't like it."

"Pink." He kissed both of my cheeks. " For fun, later." He winked at me, clearly double meaning. Am I saying goodbye to my virginity? 

  "Black for, lacey- black underwear your favourite." Cyl snickered again as he cupped my face with his both hands and kiss me breathlessly. I kissed him back the same way, and he stop and looked at me with desire. "And good time."

So tell me that you love me too
Tell me that you love me too

Tell me that you love me too

He kissed me again with such intensity, I felt my legs weaken. Cyl tore away from my lips, "Like I said, I'm too honest. I love you Thia, and I want to make love."
