"hey y'all" i greeted fixing my glasses while getting off the plane while rose is sleeping at Scarlett's shoulder
"It's the day 3 and we just landed to the next county" i stated and pointed the camera around
"Yep, we're at the Philippines right now and this place is called manila, butttt I've googled some places and it's nov 24 right now. They said the province of pampanga is like the Christmas capital of the country and the roads are filled with lights and lanterns right now there soo... that's where we going"
" Ohh and i actually also do some searching it also the culinary capital.... I'm really excited to try filipino foods" Scarlett stated smiling
" Personally, I'm not new to this country coz I've been here like 3-4x already...this is my favorite country coz of the beaches and the places" i stated as we both hop on a car
" Yeah and I'm jealous..this is my first time here....what are your favorite places beside the panpaga?" Scarlett asked mispronouncing the name and i chuckled
"Pampanga" i corrected
"Ok ms expert" she tease
"Give your top 5 places you already visit here"
"I love Boracay, vigan, siargao, cebu and albay"
"Explain what they look like I'm really intimidated"
"Boracay is famous for it's white sand beach"
" vigan is like an historical place...and oh lord it's like you're in the 18's... I'm speechless about that place"
" siargao is also an island....a gorgeous one and some Filipinos says that the Island is just special and they found love in siargao"
" Cebu....their festivals, if I'm not wrong the sinulog festival where a lot of people are dancing around praising a saint"
" the albay is also stunning, i visited it to see the world famously mayon volcano, it's like a perfect volcano and also it's has lot of tourist destination"
" Now i want to go there also!" Scarlett huff laughing
" Unfortunately, those places are far from each other and it's impossible to do it all in just a day"I explained
"i just love traveling to the point that i learn their culture and languages"
" Definitely, like i remember that time i wanted to come with you here but we're just best friends at that time and your girlfriend don't like me so i didn't get the chance to come"
" When is that?" I asked confused
" I think you said you're going to siargao and i think you're in a relationship with liz gillies at that time" she stated and i looked down laughing
" Stop calling out my exessss" i complained
" Oh yeah" she responded also cracking a laugh
" But like for real every single person i dated...hated Scarlett" i added laughing
" Coz like we're best friends but we're so like flirty and clingy sometimes...and it also happened like both sides...all of the person i had a relationship with also hated her"
" Fuck i suddenly remember olivia like the lyrics " How you said you were friends? Now it sure as hell don't look like it"
" What if she wrote it for you?" Scarlett asked playfully
"That's ridiculous, olivia is like a sister to me and she's not my ex and we never had like a fling"
" But i also treated you like a sister before" Scarlett says trying to trigger me while hiding her smirk
"shush up, you're making me overthink"i stated laughing
" Oh yeah, how many hours till we get in the hotel?"
" 3 hours ma'am" the driver stated
"baby?"
" Hmm?"
" I'm sleepy" i pouted
" I'm holding rose...go lean on your side" she responded laughing
" i don't care" i says as i wrapped my hands around her stomach and hide my face on her neck
"I'm not getting paid enough to be this jealous" the driver says making us laugh
" You could have seen the reaction of the driver that drove us in an interview" i stated laughing
"go to sleep already, he doesn't need and want to know the next informations you'll say" Scarlett huff hiding my face

After hours we arrived at my friend's house that i met when i visit here. Rose doesn't want to come and she prefer playing with her new friends so me and Scarlett just decided to go by ourselves
"Ok i don't want my wife to be attacked so please wear this" i stated as I'm fixing her mask and cap
"How about you?"
"Oh i love being attacked"
I hold her hand as we both hop in a car to go to san Fernando pampanga where the lights and displays are located
"Wait you can speak filipino fluently right?" Scarlett asked and i nodded
"Great coz i might need an interpreter" she stated chuckling
"For what?"
"Like what if i said i want to buy that one...translate it"
"Uhh gusto kong bilhin iyon"
"Hmmm ok....uh what is the filipino of of course"
"Syempre"
" How about...how much is that one"
"magkano iyon"
" Mkay, what is the filipino of do you love me?"
" Mahal mo ba ako?"
" Syempre" she responded and i looked at her can't stop my smile
"Thats...smooth" i stated still can't stop my self from blushing
"Your cheeks tells me that" she giggled pinching my red cheeks lightly
__________
"Oh my god, this is so pretty" Scarlett says leaning to see the road full of lights much clearly as i continue to drive
"Mas maganda ka (you're prettier)" i whispered underneath my breath
" What was that?" She asked
" Nothing...i said the road is really beautiful"
"Can you drop the car??? I wanna see it closer..pleasee"
" No, sorry this is a high way....but base on Waze there's a mall just few minutes away....we can park there then go here. Ohhhh the mall is also the location of the giant lanterns"
_________
" I have never seen this big lantern my entire life" she whispered
We took some solo and selfies together before watching the lamps but we notice a lot of people are coming and some regonize us so we actually need to go
"Ok.....this mall also contains the biggest ferris wheel in the Philippines." I added looking at google trying to get more locations
Scarlett looked me widening her eyes with a sarcastic wide smile
________
" No, I'm not gonna ride that.... you're gonna kill me"
"what if we got stock at the top?????" I asked still terrified
"that would be really fun"
" Oh.....sorry i have a dirty my mind" i stated laughing
" Ask that person how we can ride"
" Hey, hi uhmmm pwede ba magtanong? (Can i ask?)"
" Paano kami makakasakay dyan? Sorry We're tourist lang kase (how can we ride that? Sorry we are just tourist)"
" Uhh makakabili ka ng ticket don" he stated and we both look at the location and oh lord.... hundreds are in the line
" Ok, thank you"
" Babe you still wanna go?" I asked
" Hmm...maybe next time, it's gonna take hours to get in that line"
She look disappointed and i just had this urge to do something about the situation even if i don't like the idea of riding it
I remove my face mask and cup, Scarlett immediately tried to put them all again but i didn't let her
" It's y/n!!!!!!!" A lady shouted and the ticket booth people started gathering around us to take pictures
" Guys can i asked a favor?"
" Can we not post anything on social media yet? We wanted to enjoy our stay and one more favor.....can we get tickets to the Ferris wheel now? I know it's really unfair for us to like just get the ticket but we're leaving tomorrow and i want my wife to experience it."
" Sure!!" The manager looking man says and run to get some tickets
" Thank you so much we appreciate it, love you guys!" I state dand grabbed Scarlett's hand as i put on the mask and cap back
" You really need to make a scene?" She asked smiling while we're sitting at the ferris wheel
"Do you have any plans?" I asked
"No"
"At least now you know I'm willing to be attacked for you"
"Oh i already know that" she says resting her head on my shoulder as we go on top giving us the full view of the mall, road and almost everything
"Pretty isn't? You don't need to be afraid when you're with me" she stated squeezing my hand
"What if we make out here?" I asked and she looked down laughing
"You really want to make a scandal don't you? First the hickeys now you want to make out here??"
"No but like seriously i have fear of heights and we're literally 215 feet away from the ground but i feel safe"
"the power of my touch" she stated and i looked down laughing
___________
The ride was done and we decided to eat....but street foods and not in a resto
"What is this again? This is so good" She asked
"Uhh i think it's called banana barbeque"
"It's bananaque" the vendor says correcting me
"It's banna with brownsugar" she added smiling
"Ohhh scar taste this!!! This is my favorite!"
" why does it looks like a pasta in a stick?" She asked already laughing
"just taste it"
"Oh....uh... it's kinda weird but something inside me like tells me it's really good...i want more" she stated and starts eating like 6 sticks of it
"This is so good!!! What is this???" She asked
" chicken intestines" i responded and she choked
"wha----- oh well it taste good, give me 2 more" she says getting more and dipped it in the vinegar
I also get my self but u chose different type of food
"Babe try this" i stated while biting a piece before feeding her
"What is it first?"
"Pork intestine"
"Ohhh wow...wait why does everything taste good???" She asked now getting the pork intestine...inswear this woman already ate like 15 sticks
"What's the thing you can't eat on this foods?" She asked chewing
" That one.... it's called adidas right??" I asked and the vendor nodded
" would you dare to eat it for me?" Scarlett asked
" Scarlett"
" Just try itt i mean you made me ate intestines and I'm in love"
" If i ate it...would you eat the balut?" I asked knowing she's terrified to the delicacy
" Y'know what? Don't eat it lets just enjoy our intestines"
" No No, there is no coming back"
We both grabbed the foods both with a pounding heart
" Cheers?"
" Cheers"
We both close our eyes and took a bite.....we then looked at each other weird out because they taste really good
" oh wow... it's not that bad"
"Agree"
__________
After we finish eating We just took pictures of each other on the lights and came back to the car to go home because its actually really late
"Scar"
"Hmm?"
I leaned closer to her face and exhale making her smell the vinegar we used as a sauce earlier
"That's really disgusting!!!" She complained and i started wheezing at my sit
"Just thank god i love you" she mumbled
