Nakita ko kung paano lumaki yung mata niya tapos nawala rin agad. Yung tipong nakita ko yung unguarded side niya ng saglit pero bumalik na sa dati.
"Stop fooling around, let's go home. Now." He thundered. Ayan na naman siya sa pagtaas-taas ng boses niya. Syempre nagulat na naman ako at ikinatuwa niya yun.
But I won't let you win this time. Sasamantalahin kong birthday mo.
"Alam mo ang labo mo. Niyaya-yaya mo ko dito, binitin mo ko sa pagkain, tapos uuwi na tayo? Hay naku, kung girlfriend mo lang ako, mag---"
"Did you forget, Ace? Kasal na tayo." Alam kong naiinis na siya sa pinag-gagawa ko pero kailangan ko itong gawin. Para may mabago naman samin.
"Sorry." sabi ko. At ikinangiti niya yun. "Pero kailangan talaga nating mag-celebrate."
"And when do you have guts to talk back to me, honey?" He asked in disbelief.
Ayan na naman siya sa honey-honey-poopoo niya. Hello. I'm just trying to make your birthday worthy. I'm just helping you out! Gusto ko sanang isigaw. Pero hindi ko pa rin magawa. Sapat nang naipakita ko kay Liam na kaya kong gulatin siya.
"Bakit ba ayaw mong mag-celebrate?" Tanong ko ulit.
"One is because I'm no longer a child. Two, is because we've done it already and we're going home." Sabi niya sabay hawak niya sa kamay ko. Ramdam kong nagpipigil lang siya ng galit dahil medyo mahigpit ang pagkakahawak niya. "Now, quit playing games with me and let's go."
"Eh ano yung purpose mo sa pagyaya mo sakin dito?"
Silence from him. At lalong humigpit yung hawak niya.
Still, I have to try.
Napangiti ako noong bigla niyang binitawan yung kamay ko. "Tara na, let's celebrate!" Sabay hila ko sa kanya pabalik sa mall.

Liam's POV
The fuck is wrong with me? Why am I getting manipulated? Why am I in front of a fucking cake shop? Why can't I do something to stop her?
She's up to something.
Thirty minutes of waiting outside made my blood boil with anger. What's keeping her? I've been here for twenty minutes!
"What took you so long? Ano bang kalokohan to Aeicy?" Tanong ko sa kanya in my usual tone. But this time, it didn't startle her or even scare her. What the hell?
"Bumili ako ng cake." She smiled at ipinakita niya pa sakin. Stupid.
