#Book 2 Chapter 5
” Hey,” I jumped from where I was standing, which caused me to drop the knife I was using to chop garlic.
I felt Keian’s hands around my hips.
“What’s with the ‘hey’?! You startled me! Good thing I didn’t cut myself or else!” He stood frozen on his spot and made me turn around to face me.
” Are you okay? Are you hurt?” His eyes widened as he asked. Worry is evident in his eyes.
I rolled my eyes at him and pushed him away from me.
“You kept on hugging me every second. It’s not like I don’t want to, but you just kept on doing it repeatedly!” I complained.
Because it’s true!
Clingy much?
” I don’t care. I want to hug you every time, and why are you surprised by me every time I do so? I am here since this afternoon” I glared at him.
It’s very late at night, and it’s just now that I found the time to slice our food for our supper.
“Well, I can’t do anything whenever you hug me.”
” And why is that? Are you really that giddy inside that you don’t know what to do about it?” I furrowed my eyebrows at his statement but also blushed because, come to think of it, it’s true.
“B-But don’t you have something to do or anything? Why don’t you take a rest on the sofa while I cook our food?” I saw him pout because of this, which made him bury his face on my neck.
” Let’s just order food…” He muttered out like a child.
“Aren’t your credit and debit cards disabled by your father as part of the punishment?” He drew away and looked at me as if he was disappointed.
“What do you think of me? A person with no personal money?” I pouted. Right, almost forgot about that. Hehe.
I gazed down at the chopping board and back to Keian with an expectant look.
” Fine.”
He muttered out a yes and reached out for his phone.
I lost the mood to cook for us anyway.
” What do you want?” One hand snaked around my waist, and he uses it to pull me down the sofa.
I rolled my eyes at his gesture.
” Chicken wings,” I whispered openly. He turns to me with furrowed eyebrows.
” If that’s okay?”
He warmly smiled at me.
” Of course, baby, anything for my wife and child. Is that all you want?” I blushed at his statement, especially when he was also rubbing my baby bump, so I just nodded.
” Y-yes” He repeatedly nodded while looking at his phone.
” Then I’m going to order chicken wings and beer, alright?” I was a bit shocked when he mentioned the beer, but eventually, I agreed. It’s his treat anyway.
A few moments later, our orders arrived, and Keian voluntarily accepted them for us.
He puts all of the paper bags here on the coffee table in the living room.
*shineeeee*
My eyes can’t help but shimmer at the sight of food right in front of us.
They look so delicious!
Smells good too!
I smiled and immediately grabbed a chicken.
” Hmmm” I turned to Keian, whose eyes were just staring at me while I was eating.
” Hey. You should eat.” His eyes are still focused on me as I grabbed a chicken wing for him and intended to place it in front of his mouth.
” Here comes the airplane” After teasing him, he frowned. Opposite to his joyful face from earlier.
Mwahahahaha.
” I’m not a kid,” He stated out, but he bit what I gave him anyway.
” Oka—”
” But you’re mine” I stopped and blinked several times upon hearing what he just said.
Okay? Where’s the connection??? -_-Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
He took the chicken from my hand and ate it.
Of course, I blushed harder at what he said.
While chewing, I felt something on my lip because of the sauce that came along with the chicken, so I raised my hand to wipe it away, but Keian prevented me from doing so.
I gave him a questioning look.
“Why?” He observes my face with a serious look, particularly on my mouth.
The next thing I knew, he was already wiping the excess off my mouth and cheeks, then he touches my lips.
After that, he slowly drew his face closer and kisses me.
” I love you,” he says, then scoots away.
My heart can’t seem to calm down as it was beating frantically as if it’s vibrating my whole human body.
As if it’s all I can hear at the moment…
” I-I love you too” He smiles and lets me happily resume eating his chicken.

” So… where are we going after this weekend?” Keian looks down on me because I was leaning against his chest while my eyes looked up to meet his beautiful ones.
With his fingers tracing my hair, mellow music was playing in the background.
” In Palawan, we have a rest house there” I only managed to nod in response.
Our surroundings are eerily quiet, and the only thing we could hear was the music from the speakers.
I stared at my companion, who looks so deep in thought.
” I’m sorry I didn’t tell you we’re leaving. I just really want to spend time. Just the two of us” He took a deep breath and worriedly starred back into my eyes.
” I promise, the whole week we’re gonna spend will be the best week of your life. And probably mine too. It will be our first trip together. I know that you’re pregnant and you might have difficulties traveling, but I will do everything for you, just tell me. I’ve been planning to go on a vacation with you since last month, I just couldn’t find the right opportunity. Then I thought about it earlier that I’m bringing you to Palawan after dad’s ‘punishment’ to me. I don’t want you to think I’m forcing you. I should have asked you about this… I’m really sor—” Before he could even continue his speech, I pressed my lips to his and kissed him passionately.
He was shocked at first but immediately responded to the kiss.
Suddenly it felt like something was moving from me inside.
My child, is that you?
Or it’s just because of the effect this man is giving me.
It’s what I also feel in my system every time I’m nervous or excited.
Is this what they call those butterflies in the stomach?
Keian moved our lips closer, and his hands were already around my nape.
I held both of his cheeks together to deepen the kiss.
I’m so happy…
That I’m with this man…
This amazing man, the father of my kid. Keian puts me down on the sofa, and he goes over me without squishing my belly.
My back arches when his hand traveled to my waist, making the kiss deeper.
This feeling I feel every time I’m with him. I wanted to feel it all the time. Not ever wanting it to be gone.
I don’t want to lose him.
My hands went over around his neck, and that’s where we pulled away, or else we’ll lose our breaths.
As we’re both catching our breaths, our foreheads pressed against each other.
I was just looking at him while his eyes are closed, like he was feeling the essence of what just happened.
” It’s okay, Keian. I would love to be in Palawan with you…” He opened his eyes and smiled back at me.
” Thank you, Nass. You won’t regret it” I pouted at him.
” I don’t even regret meeting you; what more if going to Palawan with you?” I whispered to him while playing with his hair that was getting longer.
He didn’t want to have it cut.
His grin widened as if I just turned him on.
Aww.
I’m so great. Ha!
” You are my life now, Nass. And I will protect you and our child” He goes on rubbing my baby bump, which made me smile wider at me.
” I know Keian.”
Then our lips met again.
