LITTLE THINGS

Chapter 15 - Mine

{Play Once in a Lifetime - One Direction}

Kristine's POV

"Good morning Love!" Basty greeted me as soon as he answered my call. And I can't stop to feel giddy whenever he calls me by our endearment. I know I'm smiling like a fool but who cares

We talked and reconciled that night I was admitted at the hospital. I was so glad I've made the right decision to make him stay. After I got out of the hospital, he started to court me. He was very determined to express his feelings for me. He came to our house everyday after his work with flowers, chocolates or any present he would like to give. His weekends were also spent with me; either we watch movies, go to amusement park, have dinner on fancy restaurants or just simply stay at home and play board games. All my time spent with him was worth it and all the efforts he showed me occupies a big space in my heart. He has already proved that he is worthy of my heart so I didn't prolong this courtship and gave him my sweet yes.

"Happy First Monthsary Love!" I greeted him back.

"Do you like the flowers I sent for you?" He voice is smiling.

"Yes I love them! But you know a long stem rose would be enough to make me smile right?" I actually woke up with tons of white and pink flowers beautifully displayed on my room. I can't imagine how this guy made up this setting.

"I know but haven't you read the card I put in?" I read it and it says, 'I will love you until the last flower dies'. "I wouldn't like to give my girlfriend a flower made of plastic on our first month."

"Yeah. I may not like the idea too. Thanks Love but you know I'm really not used to this grand gestures."

"Really you call it grand? Nah. It's just a small thing. No biggies."

"Okay. What time is it? Aren't you late for work?"

"I took the day off. I couldn't work knowing I have a very beautiful girlfriend I should be celebrating with on our monthsary."

"That was so sweet of you!" He never fails to give importance on every detail of our relationship. And he is actually very sweet and thoughtful.

"How do you like a picnic in the park? Are you in?"

"Ofcourse! That sounds great!"

"Okay. I'll pick you up in an hour."

"Sure. I can't wait to see you!"

*************************************************************************************

We went to a beautiful park flush with trees and other spring flowers. There we set up a picnic under the shade of a tree, ate a very delicious snack and took photographs. I insist that we buy chips and drinks at a convenient store we could pass by but Basty, being the man of many surprises, had our food packed already in a basket.

"You're prepared huh."

"Ofcourse. I cooked all that." He said proudly.

"Wow! I didn't know you can cook. It smells good." I commented on our food.

"I lived alone at my unit in the city so I was forced to cook so I can live." He explained. "How was it?"

"This was so mouth-watering and enticing! This would be the death of me!" I said as I ate.

"Really, did you like it?" I saw how his eyes brightened.

"Ofcourse! This Fettuccine Alfredo tastes good." Then his expression suddenly changed.

"It is Carbonara Kaye. Not fettuccine."

And I burst out laughing. That look on his face, he was obviously annoyed or should I say infuriated. All the more I can't stop laughing. I was clutching my stomach laughing when he stood up so I abruptly stop laughing. "Hey! I was just kidding. I'm just messing with you Love!"
