DECEPTION.... TO LOVE... TO FOREVER... (Completed)

Mattina Dopo

RJ was the first to wake up despite lack of sleep.  He was surprised that Maine is still hugging him, and he is still hugging her and his legs is on her waist.  Ginawa niya pillow ang mahal niya.  He stared at her peaceful slumber, memorize her face, her soft snore filled his heart with happiness. Who would have thought that he did pissed his girl off over his car! But still so grateful of that fateful, kasi naman kung hindi nangyari yun, e di hindi siya masayang-masaya ngayon! O, wait, hindi masaya, maligaya ngayon! He didn't even asked for a special girl as of the moment and yet he was given an angel, an angel who will walk with him and be with him every step of the way.  He promised himself that this girl in his arms will be his last love and will be asking ang thanking God everyday for this wonderful blessing... When he can no longer contain his happiness, he woke up Maine.  They need to be at their house first to check whatever needs to be done at the restaurant before asking his Dad's permission to let him do full time on racing for the  coming weeks.  The qualifier is only three weeks away and he needs to at least make sure Maine's safety first and foremost...
"Good morning...!" RJ greeted Maine...
"Hmmm...!" Maine stirred but still her eyes are closed...
"Good morning!" RJ repeated again with his full blown smile...
"Hmmm, good morning!" Maine open her one eye to stare at RJ and smile...
"Gising na ikaw, mahal!" RJ said and kissed the top of her head.
As Maine realized their position, she suddenly got up from the bed, her face blushed furiously...
"O bakit?" RJ asked Maine smirking...
"Pinagtatawanan mo pa ako... Sorry na, talaga lang takot ako sa multo!" Maine said in a low voice...
"Sus, yun lang pala e... Mahal, hindi lang ikaw ang matatakutin sa multo, okay? Kalma lang... And as I have promised last night, do not hesitate to tell me if natatakot ka, okay?" RJ said.
"Thank you... Nga pala, what do you mean by "yun lang pala"?" Maine asked, creases on her forehead...
"Akala ko kasi natakot ka na Kay Mr. Darcy e!" RJ said teasingly...
It took some seconds before Maine realizes his innuendos...
"Hoyyyy! Hoyyyy!!! Ang aga-aga! Napakaharot mo!" Namumula si Maine sa panunukso ni RJ.  Tawa ng tawa si RJ sa hitsura ni Maine.  After a few minutes of a good laugh, RJ asked Maine what does she like for breakfast.  They need to be at Sta. Rosa before lunch para magpaalam papuntang Bulacan...  Upon realizing their full schedule, they decided for a drive thru and just check out after preparing for at least an hour trip going to Sta. Rosa.  Maine and RJ got up from the bed and just like Maine's habit she did first the bed.
"Uyyy, RJ una ka na... I need to tidy muna this place up, at least I will be able to check na rin kung complete mga things natin...!" Maine said to RJ...
"Wag mo namang kareerin mahal! Ano kaya kung tulungan na kita?" RJ suggested.
"No, ako na para mapabilis na tayo.  Don't worry hindi ako mawawalis or magvacuum, arrange ko lang, para bawas work sa iba...!" Maine said.
"Hayyy, naku! Kulit ng mahal ko... O siya, mabilis lang ako para  makapag breakfast na tayo... Alan mo namang ayaw kitang nagugutom e...!" RJ said, kinuha yung mga damit na nabili nila kagabi.  After 15 minutes, RJ emerged from the bathroom looking good on his getup...

"Uyyy, ang fresh na ng mahal ko...!" Maine said teasingly...
"Sus, maliit na bagay!" RJ said while flexing his muscle.  Tawa ng tawa si Maine sa kalokohan ni RJ.  She went to the bathroom after that... While RJ was waiting for Maine, his phone rang...

"Ummm, hello, Nico!"- RJ
"Good morning, tol! Nasaan si Maine?" - Nico
"Naliligo na, bakit?" - RJ
"Good, kasi we need to go to Bulacan na, she needs to check on the car for wirings and checked na rin young mga modifications na natapos na, remember guys, we need to have at least three weeks to practice... This will give us ample of time if ever may problema sa car, at least Maine will not be pressured." - Nick
"Got the message loud and clear... Once Maine came out from her bath, we will go there... I promise...!" - RJ
"By the way, your dad already relieved you on the restaurant for one month or until we are done with the qualifier.  I will help him oversee the restaurant, all I want you to do is to make sure you will shadow Maine everywhere.  Ikaw muna ang bodyguard, when I checked your restaurant for you!" - Nico
"Huh? I was about to ask Dad if that's okay, yun pala nasabi mo na! Salamat dude! Gusto ko rin kasi na nasa tabi ako ni Maine to make sure her utmost safety!" - RJ
"Okay, bro! No problem! See you in an hour...!" - Nico
"No problem, see you later!" - RJ
"Bro, nga pala! Siguraduhin mong babalik kayo na buo pa ang kapatid ko ha? Or else...!" Nico said sabay baba ng phone...
Isang pulang-pulang RJ ang naabutan ni Maine paglabas ng banyo!

After some time, they were now travelling back to Sta. Rosa.  They already had their drive thru at sinusubuan na ni Maine si RJ ng nuggets while driving... Tawa lang sila ng tawa habang nagbibiyahe... Nagkukwentuhan sila ng mga kalokohan nila noong mga bata pa sila. 
"Mahal, nga pala before I forgot, saan ba may malapit na hotel sa inyo?" RJ asked.
"Why?" Maine said.
"I will be staying full time sa Bulacan from time to time.  I got my parent's approval to concentrate on this project right now.  Nico will help him though and I could connect with them thru facetime if problem arises.!" RJ said.
"Sus, OK lang ako, mahal! Maingat naman ako magmaneho, you also need to concentrate sa restaurant mo para tuloy-tuloy ang pagbawi... Medyo OA lang si Nico, andiyan naman sila Kuya Jose...!" Maine said. She doesn't want to cause any inconvenience to both family.
"No! I won't allow it! I am here not mainly because of the qualifier but I want to make sure of your safety... It is my main priority.  Kung hindi lang dream mo yan, malamang ako na ang mag-compete e!" RJ said with conviction.
"No, please! One time lang to...!" Maine said.
"I know! Kaya ang ranging magagawa ko lang is to make Sir of your safety and to be at your side anytime for anything! Please, allow me to do this for you!" RJ said in puppy eyes.
"Ay! oh! Dinaan na ako sa pa-cute niya! Oo na po, mahal! Payag na po ako!" Maine said.
"And hindi ako kawalan for a month kasi full swing na yung sked ng restaurant... In fact, we have four Sundays jampacked the two were from previous customers which you have graced as a chef.  And if you can make it, they are requesting an encore for you again, will it be fine or if you could recommend another chef for it, babayaran na lang for a day stint...!" RJ said.
"Basta Sunday lang ako pwede, sorry ha? Schedules, you know! Saka na ako mag-apply pag open na sked ko, hehee...!" Maine said...
"Okay, I will tell them, but instructions ka nalang, hindi na ikaw magluluto... Para rest ka din ng Sunday... And staycation tayo sa bahay... Hehhe...!" RJ said grinning wildly...
"Ang harroooooot!!!!" Nanggigil na sabi ni Maine sabay kurot sa pisngi ni RJ, good thing, red light na...
"Arayy ko, Mahal!!!! Joke lang...! Pero kung...!" Namumula na tawa ng tawa si RJ dahil pulang-pula si Maine...
"Stappphhhh it!" Sigaw ni Maine na natatawa din...
Thirty more minutes of a gods laugh and jokes, they arrived at RJ's house...
Everyone came out...
"Ano, magkakaapo na ba ako sa tuhod?" Says Lola...
"Apo, pag naglihi ka, pahirapan mo si Ricardo ha?" Lolo said...
"Anak, kelan ang kasal? Barong o amerikana?" Daddy said...
"Buo pa ba?" Nico asked...
"Nicolas Mendoza!!!!!!" Maine can't help but reprimand Nick na tawa na ng tawa dahil na-shocked ang dalawa sa mga tanong!!!!
