Kakatapos lang ng outing namin with the faculty members kaya inaya ako ni Jance sa simbahan. I was wearing a white dress and let my hair down since ayaw kong ipupuyod ito. Jance said he liked my hair three years ago. Medyo humaba na rin siya kaya I decided to cut it yesterday.

Hanggang balikat ko lang ang haba ng buhok ko at na-eexcite ako na makita si Jance.

"Baby?"

I heard him outside my door kaya I put on my pearl bracelet and a white clip bow and ran downstairs.

"Hi.." I said catching his attention.

He stared at me then smiled a little while his face turned red.

"Hey.."

"Let's go?"

Hindi sumagot si Jance kaya natawa ako, he was just staring at me and smiling like a fool. I slapped his face lightly, trying to see if he was still functioning. Mukha kasing ewan eh.

"Sorry, you're just so gorgeous." He said then took my hand. "I like your dress."

"Thanks, nabili ko siya sa London."

"Bigatin ka pala, babe." He joked as he opened the door for me. "Sit tight, baby." He buckled my seatbelt and kissed my cheek.

I blushed a little then smiled while he shut the door and walked to the driver's seat. He drove me to my favorite church where I grow up in.

When we arrived we sat at the front, nakatutok sa amin ang fan at nililipad ang buhok ko kaya Jance took a hair tie from his pocket and tied my hair.

"Kanino ito?" I asked since it had pearls and everything.

"Sa Mama ko." He answered. "She said it was very special to her kaya I gave you something that reminded me of the things she loved.

"I also love pearls." I said.

He smiled at little and took my fan.

"I know."

Nagsimula na ang misa at hindi kami nagpansinan ni Jance. Ang homily ni father ay tungkol sa pagmamahal in different forms. There is romantic love, love in friendship, in family, within ourselves and all sorts.

Natapos ang misa so we decided to eat out. He ordered pasta for me then he ordered rice and two shakes for us. He got the food for us and sat down beside me.

"Doon ka." I pointed at the empty seat in front of us.

"Huh? Bakit?" He asked.

"Gusto ko kasi na kapag may kasama ako kaharap ko siya habang kumakain." I explained.

"Pero gusto kitang katabi, please?" He begged but I really didn't want it. "Fine but next time we sit together."

"You wish."

Nag-aya siya sa ZARA after lunch to go shopping for some clothes, perfect timing din kasi I really wanted new pants and a top. I was asking for his opinion and he was no help at all!

"Babe, stop staring at me. I need your help with these." I said and pouted.

Tumayo siya at lumapit sa akin and cupped my face with both of his hands.

"I can't talk properly, baby. You are just so gorgeous that I can't even focus." He said and gave me a little kiss on the forehead.

"Please just help me." I said.

"Okay, go try on a new set." He said and helped me try decide.

"I like you better trying that on." He said when I wore a pink dress with lace designs on my sleeves. "It looks very clean on you."

"I like it pero gusto ko ng pants." I told him.

"Okay, baby let's get you pants."
