Matapos niya mapakilala si Nicholas sa mga magulang ni Wild ay hinila niya ito palayo sa mansyon. Gusto niyang ipakita dito ang lugar na minahal niya. She wants to share the things she live to the very special man she's with.
"Woah, where the hell are we heading to? I would still prefer bed, Carrots." Nalilito nitong wika.
"Anong bed ka dyan mas maganda di--" Hindi natuloy ang sasabihin niya nang ma-realized niya ang tinutukoy ng binata. "What the F?" Nabitawan niya ang kamay nito.
"I was just joking, Carrots. I can't help it. Masyado kang serious kanina eh." He worriedly said.
Sandali siyang napaisip kung ano ba ang itsura niya kanina. Maybe he noticed that she was too nervous.
"Umayos ka nga!" Pinalo niya ito sa baliktad nito. "I was just uncomf'table. First time ko nagpakilala ng lalaki sa family ko."
He held and kissed her hand. "I'm glad, I'm the first. Sorry if I joke around. I didn--"
She stopped him by raising her left hand. "Stop being sorry. Isa ka sa pinakamagandang bagay na nagpapasaya sakin. Kung magso-sorry ka nang magsosorry, malilito na ko kung tama bang nakilala kita. It's okay to misunderstand each other. As long as we're all willing to explain to each other. And--"
Napahinto siya nang bigla itong lumapit sa kanya. Sa sobrang lapit nito ay halos magdikit na ang mga ilong nila.
"N-Nicholas." Hahalikan ba siya nito? She can't say no. Kung sa kaibuturan ng puso niya at gusto niya rin. She's not a good liar.
Then he kissed her on the cheeks. It was 10 times. 5 to the left and right.
Natatawa siyang tinulak ito. "Ano ba Nicholas?" Pabebe niyang sabi.
"What?" Nagtatawa na rin ito.
Pareho silang kinikilig sa nangyayari. She can feel it. May iba sa ngiti ng lalaking kaharap niya.
"Don't teased me, Mr. Valdez." Babala niya rito.
"Bakit? Are you willing to break a promise?" Panunubok nito.
She stares into his eyes. She saw desire in it while looking on her lips. But she must cool it down.
"No." Umiwas siya ng tingin.
"Oh, my bad." Then he lay down on the grass.
"Anong ginagawa mo?"
"I heard you say it's better than bed. I'm testing it if your statement is a fact or fiction." Paliwanag nito.
Nag-echo sa paligid ang tawa niya. Hindi niya alam kung saan galing ang saya niya. Kung joke nito o sa kapanatagan niyang nararamdaman sa tabi ng binata.
She wants the moment to stay forever. Kung may three wishes siya. The second wish will be to stay in that perfect moment.
"Are you done?" Tanong ni Nicholas habang nakamasid sa kanya mula sa pagkakahiga.
Nilingon niya ito. Then he taps his left side. "Lay, Carrots. I know you're tired."
"Baka naman may balak sa sakin kaya gusto mo kong patulugin." Bintang niya.
"Don't worry I prefer to do that when we're both awake." Then he tapped the grass again.
She smiles. "Okay."
Ginawa niyang unan ang kaliwang braso nito. After a minute staring at the sky. Namigat na ang talukap ng mata niya. Sinubukan niyang pigilan ang pagkaantok niya. But Nicholas encourages it.
"Just rest, Carrots." The last words she heard from him.
Naalimpungatan siya nang may marinig siyang click na parang galing sa camera.
