Stolen Moments

15.

Hello, I'm back! I'm very sorry for ghosting, I've been very busy recently and even experienced a writer's block so it was really hard for me to sit and write a chapter. Luckily, my creative juices are back so here's a long-ish chapter to make up for not updating for so long. Enjoy!

"Do you want to marry me?"

I looked up and stared at Zayden who was staring intently at me. I smiled and rested my head on his chest while I was sitting on his lap, his arms are hugging my waist.

"Of course. We already have our future wedding all planned out, right?" I smiled sweetly at him.

"I want to marry you now." he chuckled, as if what he said was funny for him.

"Pwede naman." I grinned. Natigilan siya at napatitig lang sa'kin.

"Are you serious or is this just one of your jokes again?" pinaningkitan niya ako ng mata. I laughed and shook my head.

"Seryoso nga!"

"Love, we don't have anything set up!" reklamo niya.

"Pwede namang tayong dalawa lang muna. You know a lawyer who officiates weddings, right? Kahit civil wedding muna ngayon, love. Tapos after no'n, tsaka tayo mag pakasal sa simbahan." seryosong saad ko, desidido na sa desisyon na naisip.

I mean, what's the difference? Para naman na din kaming mag-asawa. Dito na ako sa condo niya nakatira, we have our whole future planned out, and we already made our promises to each other. In fact, wedding nalang naman talaga ang kulang eh.

"You're really serious?" seryosong tanong niya. Ngumuso ako at tumango.

"I want to marry you, and be with you, and start a family with you, and-"

"Woah, princess. Calm down." tumawa siya at mas niyakap ako.

I whined and smacked his arm. "You asked a question, I'm just answering. May pa-I want to marry you now ka pang nalalaman, huh." I even mickicked his voice. "Weak ka naman pala eh!"

Natawa siya at pinugpog ng halik ang pisngi ko. "I want to fulfill your dream wedding. Hindi matutupad yun kung ngayon na kaagad tayo ikakasal."

"Kaya nga civil wedding muna ngayon eh. Tapos next yan, kapag church wedding na!" pagpupumilit ko.

Pinaningkitan niya ako ng mga mata at seryosong tinignan. I smiled sweetly and kissed his lips.

"Let's go!" tumayo ako at hinablot ang kamay niya para hilahin din siya patayo. He looked at me, completely bewildered.

"Like... now? As in right now?" he asked in shock. I nodded and went to our room to get my bag. I also changed into a simple dress and wore a pair of white heels.

"Daan muna tayo sa mall, love? Bili ako ng white dress tapos bili din tayo ng bagong suit and tie for you. Then diretso na tayo sa kakilala mong lawyer." I said while looking through my bag.

"Did you see my wallet?" I asked when I didn't see it.

"On your vanity." tulala niyang sabi. Napanguso ako bago lumapit para tapikin nang mahina ang pisngi niya. "Let's go, love. Bihis ka na. I'll just retouch my makeup real quick." bumalik ako sa kwarto para umupo sa vanity ko. Zayden put this here for me. Ang kwarto niya ay naging kwarto na naming dalawa dahil halos dito na ako nakatira.

My parents didn't know, I told them na bumili ako ng sariling condo. Well, bumili naman talaga ako, yun ang una kong binili gamit yung pamanang binigay nila sa'kin nung nag-18 ako. Sadyang mas madalas lang talaga ako dito sa condo ni Zayden at hindi nila alam yun.
