Always, In All Ways (Change Series #4)

Chapter 28

"Wow, ang ganda naman po rito." Maureen smiled while looking at the view.

I smiled while watching her. Tumingin ako kay Gio na nakatingin din kay Maureen.

"She's happy," I whispered to Gio.

Gio smiled and nodded then he tousled Maureen's hair. "Happy 9th birthday, little girl."

"Big girl na po ako, Kuya." pagmamaktol ni Maui.

Gio laughed. "You will always be our little girl... bawal boyfriend, dadaan muna 'yan kay Kuya."

I hit Gio's arm. "Hey! Don't give her the idea. Bawal talaga, 'no! Subukan lang nila."

Gio laughed. "Kita mo na, Ate mo pa lang, nakakatakot na." he said but I just frowned.

Sa Shakey's kami kumain ng dinner dahil ni-request ni Maureen. Pagkatapos namin kumain ay umuwi na rin kami dahil baka hanapin na kami nina Daddy.

"Thank you for today, Kuya Gio." Maui smiled after we got out of Gio's car.

Gio smiled. "Happy birthday."

Maui and I gave Gio a flying kiss before going inside our gate. Pinagbuksan na rin naman kami ni Kuya Guard.

"I enjoyed it, Ate." Maureen smiled at me nang ihatid ko na siya sa kwarto niya.

I kissed the top of her head. "Happy birthday, baby."

Gio and I decided to celebrate our anniversary at their house since review niya pa at wala na kaming time na mag-out of town or out of the country.

~How did you know
I needed someone like you in my life?
That there's an empty space in my heart?
You came at the right time in my life~

I sang while playing the piano since Gio requested it. I refused to him but he said that it's our anniversary kaya pagbigyan ko raw siya.

~I'll never forget
How you brought the sun to shine in my life
And took all the worries and fears that I had~

I looked at him and smiled.

~I guess what I'm really trying to say
It's not every day
that someone like you comes my way
No words can express how much I love you~

Gio cupped my face when I finished the song, then he slowly gave me a soft kiss. "Happy 3rd anniversay, babe."

I smiled. "Happy 3rd anniversary."

I held his hand. "I love you so much. Seryoso, love na love kita, Gio."

He smiled playfully. "Thank you."

My lips parted before hitting his arm. "What did you just say?!"

"I said I love you." natatawang sabi niya.

"Hindi 'yan 'yung sinabi mo!"

Natawa siya tapos tumayo, hinila niya ako papunta sa sofa nila. We were face to face. "Thank you... kasi you're giving me the love that I don't deserve." seryosong sabi niya.

"What? You deserve all the love in the world, love. That's why I will give you all my love."

Napabuntong-hininga si Gio bago ako halikan. At first, it was shallow until it turned a bit aggressive. He pushed his tounge inside my mouth that caused me to moan lightly.
