I just finished watching Notting Hill, got inspired so ~
(◍•ᴗ•◍)
The cameras flashed, one after another. Honestly, I ought to be blind by now but my eyes were only fixated on a certain figure sitting on a chair on the high rise.
"Mr. Carter look here"
"Are you and Ms. Zaragosa getting married?"
"Smile for the cameras!"
The press and their noise drowned the both of us out. Oh, how I'd love to just ram into all of them. They're just blocking the wonderful view!
Olivia's eyes met with mine and I moved my head towards the direction of the back door and she bobbed her head once before standing up.
Both of us made a run towards the back door, dodging cameras and microphones. People attempted to chase after us but once I got in after her, I immediately slammed the door and locked it.
I turned my back and laid my head back against the wooden door gasping for air. I closed my eyes and a grin slowly formed on my face.
I felt hands delicately wrapping themselves around my neck, I was a ticklish person but this felt as if I was being wrapped with a scarf to keep me warm against the raging cold.
I opened my eyes and settled my gaze on the most beautiful woman in this lifetime and most probably the next.
"Akala ko 'yun na 'yun" she said.
I heaved a sigh. "Me too but I gotta say I didn't expect that Dexter would knock the sense into me" Tumawa ako pero napahinto nang tumawa din siya. Shit. It sounded so good, para akong hinehele.
Gago, eto yung tinurndown ko kanina! Ang bobo!
Salamat Dexter talaga!
"Sure ka na talaga dito?" Her eyes scanned my face as if memorizing every detail. "Wala nang bawian to"
I cupped her face with my hands, meron agad pulang unti-unting nagpapakita sa kanyang mga pisngi. Instead of answering her question, I kissed her softly. I could feel her smile against my lips.
"So, the press was asking when our wedding was, kelan nga ba?" I asked in a low voice. Ang lapit lapit pa din ng mga labi namin. I wanted to kiss her again! Pero mamaya na, we've got all the time in the world now. Well, not in a literal way but you get what I mean.
She took a step back but agad kong pinulupot ang balikat ko sa bewang niya."Bilis naman! Sino ka The Flash!? 'Di mo nga ako niligawan!"
I let out a laugh. "Ganon pala? Sige po miss, noted. Ano pa?"
My sweet Olivia pouted, parang batang inagawan ng lobo. Artista to? Akalain mo! Swerte ko naman! Kung hindi din pala 20/20 ang eyesight nito, swerte ko pa din! Lugi nga lang siya pero babawi din ako.
"Ang init dito, baka pawisan kana, magkasakit ka pa. Tara saan tayo?" I took her hand para sabay na kaming lumabas.
She gently tugged my hand kaya napatingin ako sa kanya, nakakunot ang noo.
"Are you sure you're okay with this? The paparazzi, the blinding lights, ugly headlines and stolen pictures soon to be turned into memes" she stated.
"Ikaw, sure ka okay ka lang dito? A man with no inheritance, hindi BMW ang sasakyan, sardinas lang palaging ulam, hindi na kelangan iedit at meme na ang mukha, sure ka na dito?"
"I'm 100% certain"
"Hindi 101? O sige ako nalang mag 101%"
Napatawa ako ng suntukin niya yung balikat ko. Para akong inaway ng stuff toy ng kapatid ko.
"Cheesecake?" aya ko
"Cheesecake"
We took a coat and hat hanging on a rack to disguise this superstar I was with and went out another back door to look for some cheesecake before we start to live the rest of our lives— fina-fucking-lly with each other.
