Lost in Paradise (Morayta Series 1)

Kabanata 20

"Thank you." 

I said as the delivery guy brought my orders here in my condo.

Buti nalang at umabot ang inorder kong designer perfume na gusto ni mommy. It was a limited edition scent na inorder ko pa abroad! Itinabi ko na ang paper bag na iyon sa mga ibang regalo. I bought my dad a wristwatch for this year.

Monday na ngayon at katatapos ko lang magbalot ng mga regalo dahil bukas ay pupunta na ako sa Makati. Sa bahay kami nagce-celebrate ng Christmas at kumpleto kami doon, kasama ang mga kapatid nila mommy at daddy.

I'll give headache roller relief for my titas and shot glasses for my titos. I put each of my gifts in a personalized box kung saan may greeting card na rin sa loob.

Hinawakan ko ang isang itim na box kung saan nakalagay ang regalo ko para kay Jayce. I bought him a necklace with an airplane pendant. I know how hard it was for him to not pursue the dream that he always wanted, but I respect his decision. 

He sacrificed his dream for him to spend his time with his own family in the future.

On Christmas day, I wore a blue halter top and paired it with white fitted ankle-length pants. I wore my Nudist heels that suit my look. I curled my hair and brushed it para magka-volume at hinayaan iyon na nakalugay. Everyone was wearing blue for this year's celebration.

I greeted our relatives and did some short catch up with them. May ilang games din for kids so we cheered for them. My mom prepared a lot of food for everyone kaya mas lalong umingay ang kwentuhan habang Noche Buena.

We also did the mandatory photo per family beside the Christmas tree. Like the usual, we exchanged gifts right after Noche Buena. My mom was shocked because of my gift, as well as my dad.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganoon ang reaksyon nila. I mean, I can afford buying them gifts. May kinikita naman ako sa pagmo-model ko for our company.

My cousins invited me to drink with them in the garden, but I can't drink a lot. Pupunta pa ako kila Jayce mamayang hapon kaya hindi ako pwedeng uminom ng marami.

"Merry Christmas baby," bati agad niya nang masagot ko ang tawag.

"Merry Christmas, love!" I greeted back, almost giggling.

It was our first Christmas together as a couple!

"Did you drink?" he asked.

"A little," I smiled. "You?"

"Not that much too," he smiled. "Let's sleep now?"

I nodded and he ended the call after I gave him a flying kiss. Natulog na rin ako pagkatapos noon dahil ayaw kong magka-eyebags lalo na't pupunta ako sa kanila mamaya!

It was almost lunch time when I woke up. Pagkatapos kong kumain ay kinausap ko agad si Reese dahil sasabay ako sa kanila ng mga pinsan ko. Papunta rin kasi sila around BGC. She agreed immediately. Itinext ko agad si Jayce na magkita nalang kami sa mall, so he could pick me up dahil hindi ko madadala ang sasakyan ko ng ganoong oras.
