Come Home To You (Book 1 of You Trilogy)

Kabanata 25

"Okay." nag-iwas ako ng tingin

Tumayo na ako at inayos ang sarili sa vanity. I combed my short hair which was a complete mess earlier and put on a very light beach make-up.

"Kai,"

I watched him through the mirror of the vanity. Kanina pa siya titig na titig sa kung ano ang ginagawa ko. He made phone calls earlier too.

"Hmm?" he lazily raised a brow as he watch me

"Can... I vlog here? Kaso wala akong dalang camera eh." 

Everytime I travel, may it be alone or with friends, I always take my bananas with me. Now, even though I promised myself to rest for a while, I felt the urge of filming. I just want to take all of them with me, atleast virtually, to celebrate this very special day.

"Don't worry, I brought my camera. I know you'd want to share this trip with your subscribers."

"Really?" 

Ngumiti siya at tumango-tango.

"You can include the clip Claudine has taken earlier, if you want to. I purposely told her to document just incase you'd like to share that to your subscribers too." dagdag niya

Literal na parang may humaplos sa puso ko nang marinig ang sinabi niya. Coz what the heck, he's so thoughtful!

Tumayo ako at nilapitan siya. His eyes reflected so much amusement as he lend his hands. 

"Thank you... thank you for being like this..." I sincerely said after holding his hand

He doesn't have to do all of this, honestly. We're not official. This marriage is a fraud. I know that from the very beginning, but I don't know if it still is now.

Coz ohmygod, I'm not dumb! I know Khalil's freaking move! I know it so much! This can't be nothing! Like cook for me, take care of me, edit my vlogs for me, protect me, defend me, and now surprise me. Wow. Thinking about it all makes my heart even thump like crazy. 

Hindi ako sigurado at ayokong pangunahan siya pero sigurado akong hindi to 'wala lang'. 

"Anything for you, sweetheart." 

His other hand reached for my shoulder to caress it lightly before kissing my cheeks. 

See?!?

Goodness gracious. Kanina pa siya halik ng halik diyan ah! Magkaka-heart attack na ako sa lalaking 'to.

"Wait, p-in-ack mo clothes ko?" I asked while eyeeing my outfit

"Yeah."

"Patingin ako..." 

He then showed me the closet that revealed some of my clothes. May dresses na kagaya ng suot-suot ko kanina at shorts.

"Sabi na nga ba...."

Inismiran ko siya at pinakita ang mga swimsuit na napili niya for me. Lahat yun one piece like what I'm wearing now! Iba-iba lang ang cuts. Halatang-halata na ayaw niya akong magsuot ng masyadong sexy, eh!

"That will look better on you than your sultry bikinis." depensa niya

"Ang conservative naman masyado!"

"I'm sorry but I don't want you showing off so much skin. I just don't want you-"

"Oo na! Pwede na 'to."

I'm just kidding him, anyway. I can deal with those. Buti nga hindi pyjama or jackets ang pinili niya. Knowing him....

"Ayaw mo ba ng ganito ako?" ngumuso siya
