We had another session in the bathroom and cleaned up afterwards. Nauna na akong lumabas ng banyo pagkatapos no'n, dahil baka maulit muli at hindi na naman ako makatanggi sa kanya. Nang matapos kong ayusin ang kama ay doon ko lang napagmasdan ang kabuuan ng kwarto.






It's like a carbon copy of my room from our mansion. The colorful wallpapers, glow in the dark stickers on the roof, and even some of our pictures hanging on the wall were the same. I just feel more comfortable here. Maybe because I'm with him.






I'm with someone I love.






"Gellian, I need your phone." Kinatok ko ang pinto ng bathroom.






He turned off the shower. "Baby, I can't hear you. I didn't lock the door. Why don't you come in so we can... have a good talk?"







"I'll just look for it myself," Mahina kong sagot.







Good talk? Slow lang ako, pero 'di ako uto-uto.







I picked up his pants from the floor that he wore yesterday and searched for his phone. Sigurado akong mag-aalala sila Mommy kapag makita nilang wala ako sa aking kwarto at kasama ko si Gellian buong gabi. Umawang ang aking labi nung mahulog ang maliit na bagay mula sa bulsa ng kanyang pantalon.






My eyes began to tear up upon seeing a shiny diamond ring in a red sapphire setting. Our initials, which are G and Z, were engraved on its shank. I nervously put it back in his pants pocket when Gellian came out straight from the shower, dripping wet. 






Pinunasan niya ang aking pisngi, bakas ang pag-aalala sa kanyang mga mata. "H-hey, baby. Are you... hurt down there? Why are you crying?"






I hugged him tight. Tears kept rolling down from my eyes. "I'm just happy. I love you, Gellian."






Banayad niyang hinalikan ang aking noo. "Mahal din kita, Zein. Mahal na mahal."






He gave me a soft kiss on the lips before he walked towards his closet to get his clothes. I just sat on the bed, admiring his naked body in front of me. Gellian has nothing to be ashamed of. He has a handsome face, a sculpted body, and is undeniably gifted.






"Why are you wearing a classy suit? Are you going to a corporate event or what?" Saad ko bago tumayo at tulungan siyang suotin iyon.






"I'll be going to meet my in-laws, so I have to be presentable." He replied, holding my hips.






He's just staring at my face while I'm dressing him up. I probably look like a parent helping my own son prepare to go to school. Gumanti naman ako ng tingin habang isinusuot ang necktie sa kanyang leeg.






"I assume the in-laws you're referring to are my parents, am I correct?" I raised a brow.






He hissed. "Malamang. May iba pa ba akong aasawahin bukod sa 'yo, baby?"






Gellian covered his face with a mask as we walked out of our mansion. He said he wants me to live with him even though we're not yet married, but only if my parents agree to it.
May tiwala naman sila Dad kay Gellian, subalit hindi pa rin sigurado kung papayag silang bumukod ako ng tirahan.






"Don't you have a shoot today?" Bungad kong tanong matapos niyang ikabit ang seatbelt ko.






"I just had a shoot a while ago, baby. You can't remember?"
