#Book 2 Chapter 6
” Pat, we are so happy that you finally have someone to be with in life. We’re sorry if we left you all alone, you and your brother…”
” Ma”
” Princess, always remember that we are always there for you… we are here to guide you”
” Pa!”
Mama and Papa’s images suddenly became a blur. That’s where I opened my eyes and I was greeted by the dark room that’s only being illuminated by the light of the lampshade.
I took a deep breath before collecting my thoughts about that dream.
I just reunited with Mama and Papa.
I can’t help but tear up and try hard not to make a sound especially that Keian’s lying in bed with me.
” Huhu”
I became frustrated with myself.
Why does every time I don’t want anyone hearing me weep, my cries tend to make a sound on their own?!
-_-
I moved my hands to wipe my tears away without waking up Keian whose arms are wrapped around me.
” Hmm?”
Argghh.
My companion tightened his arms around me and buried his face on my neck.
My breathing pattern is so rapid that my chest kept going up and down at a quick pace.
” Nass?” Keian sleepily and softly called out.
I turned to the clock and saw it’s just one in the morning.
Keian breaks away from me a little and opened one eye to look at me.
As soon as he realized that I was crying and my cheeks were all wet, he opened both of his eyes and his eyebrows met in unison.
” Why are you crying? What happened?” I sniffed and shook my head.
” This is nothing. Just go back to sleep, Keian” His eyebrows deepened and he turned to look at the clock.
” Nassandra, tell me what happened,” He asked in a slightly bossy tone.
I let out a shaky breath and that’s where Keian turned on another lampshade that was beside my bed.
” W-well. I just had a dream about Mama and P-papa” the sound of my cries got louder after saying that.
His expression softened and he immediately hugged me again.
” Is it a bad dream?”
“No. They told me that they’re happy that I have someone to be with me now and that they’re always by my side to guide me” Keian smiles at me and wiped my cheeks.
” It’s okay, baby… what your parents said is true, they’ll always be here. In your heart” He pointed at my chest where my heart is located while his other hand was wrapped around my hips.
I took a deep breath and smiled.
” I know Keian. Seeing them just made me all emotional.” He pouted and kissed the bottom of my mouth.
” You’re not sad?” I shook my head.
“A little. But mostly I’m glad…” Keian smiled and planted a kiss on my forehead.
“That’s more like it. Now stop crying. It pains me when I see you crying” Once again he wipes away the tears that continuously fell from my eyes.
So I just leaned on his chest to help myself to calm down.
“I unintentionally woke you up” He pats my head like I am a child.
” I’d rather make you stop crying than sleep through it. I need to take care of you Nass… and our baby” Keian knelt down and kissed my baby bump.
” And also, we need to leave the house at 3 o’clock. So we’d arrive in Palawan in no time.” As soon as he said those words, he stood up and fled out of the room.
” I’ll make us breakfast” I just let him while I sat up on the bed and contemplated my thoughts.
Today is Monday and we’re supposed to fly to Palawan.
We already prepared things last night, we even had to go to the grocery so we wouldn’t have anything to worry about once we get there.
I’m kind of excited… since it’s been a while since I’ve been on vacation. Ever since Mama and Papa died.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before going to the bathroom.

” Are you okay now, baby?” Keian asked me the minute I sat on a chair next to the table.
He puts a glass of chocolate drink in front of me and returned to making a sandwich.
” Mh-hm” Was my only response since I already got to take a sip from the glass…
” Are you sleepy? Or tired? You can sleep on the plane later if you like” I smiled at him because he turned to look at me.
“I’m not that sleepy… and you? You woke up pretty early.”
” Don’t worry about me, baby. You should be the one getting enough sleep.” I pouted at him as he sat on a seat in front of me and placed a plate of sandwiches on the table.
” Okaayyy. I’ll try sleeping on the plane later.” He nodded approvingly as if he was satisfied with my answer.
He pushed the plate to me.
” Eat. We can also eat breakfast on the plane or in Palawan, only if you want to.” I nodded at him while starting to bite on the sandwich.

I am chewing on the sandwich while I furrowed my eyebrows in Keian’s direction.
“Aren’t you going to stop staring?!” I said with my mouth filled with food.
His eyebrows furrowed.
” Don’t talk while your mouth is full” He stated out.
I narrowed my eyes at him while swallowing the food I was eating.
” I said, aren’t you going to stop staring?” He’s seriously got his eyes locked on me the entire time and he’s not eating anything with me. What is he? A spectator of my eating habit? Someone who should check how I chew?
Hmph.
” There’s nothing wrong with staring… especially if I’m staring into someone as beautiful as you,” He said in a serious tone.
His eyes also gave off a cold vibe.
I sighed and stood up to grab a sandwich and shoot it directly in his mouth.
He raised a brow at me but eventually opened his mouth to let the food in.
” Just eat” I was about to go back to where I was seated but then he pulled me back to him which caused me to sit on his lap.
He reached for my hand and gave back the sandwich that was left hanging in his mouth.
” Feed me” I opened my mouth in disbelief.
” Can’t you just eat by yourself?” He shots me a glare but smirked a few seconds later.
” And what if I can’t?” I narrowed my eyes at what he just said.
“I don’t know about you. Now there, swallow!” I ordered while holding the sandwich to his mouth.
The nerve of this guy.
He should be thankful that I love him…
*blush*
” Vhy awr hue vlasjhing?”
” What?” I grinned.
” Ay lawb hue” I furrowed my eyebrows and removed the bread from his mouth.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
” What did you—” I never got to continue my question for he already kissed me on the lips.
” Nothing” He reached for my wrist and returned the sandwich so I’d continue on feeding him.
Eh?

” Quelque chose ne va pas?(Something wrong?)” Keian asked while sitting on a long sofa here in his private jet as if he’s just sitting on a sofa back home. And he really had to speak French.
” It’s so luxurious… and it’s been ages since I rode an aircraft.”
He smiled.
” It’s not that luxurious and if you feel nervous, I’m always by your side. I won’t leave you.” I lowered my gaze at his words while he also held my hand.
I don’t know if I should let these butterflies in my stomach get the better of me or should I think of this as something cheesy from a romance novel.
Keian held my chin up and made my eyes focus on him.
” Baby? Do you want to eat? I can call the stewardess if you want.” I smiled at him and shook my head.
“I’m not that hungry yet.” He nodded and started scrolling through his phone.
I thought of a lot of stuff that could possibly happen once we arrive there.
I certainly hope we’ll only get to make happy memories there…
Suddenly I felt Keian’s hands around my baby bump. I turned to him who was smiling while scrolling through his phone using his right hand while the other hand is on me.
I enveloped his hand with mine leaned my head on his shoulder.
I felt him plant a kiss on my forehead before letting myself fall into a deep slumber.
—
*mwah*
My eyebrows met as I felt someone kiss my cheek.
*kiss*
Huh?
Is Brylle here?
Why is someone kissing me the way Brylle used to do???
” Keian?” I called out when I opened my eyes and certainly it was him that I first saw.
He kissed me on the forehead, then on the lips, and stood up.
Whereas for me, my mind is still properly processing everything that’s happening…
“Hi” he held my hand and also kisses it with a huge grin plastered on his pretty face.
” Hello?” I sat up properly and that’s where I suddenly felt the pain in my back and neck because of my sleeping position.
I groaned.
Keian’s eyes widened.
” Why??? Are you hurt?” I flashed him a smile to calm him down.
” Yeah, it’s just a stiff neck, I suppose…” His eyes were filled with worry.
” Sh8t, I should’ve laid you down. I’m sorry baby” My brows creased while shaking my head at him.
“It’s okay, don’t worry. It happens naturally.” I said while observing everything around us.
The plane isn’t moving anymore, which means, we finally landed…
Seeing my realization,
” We’re here,” My companion said and stood up.
I looked through the window and saw a large sign that says Puerto Princesa International Airport.
My heart rate was suddenly racing frantically. Not sure if this is because of nervousness or excitement.
” Let’s go?” I looked down at the hand Keian just offered and happily took it in acceptance.
Before I could go out of the plane, I made sure I looked fine.
It was Keian’s men who carried all of our luggage while the two of us went towards a car that’s waiting down the private jet.
Keian went to the driver’s seat while I was at the passenger’s seat…
” My men will take our bags to the house” Keian stated out and his face returned to its usual cold expression.
” Okayyy” I didn’t leave all of the bags anyway. I brought along my shoulder bag that contains all of my basic essentials.
Keian also brought a bag with me, a waist bag to be exact.
” We’ll just pass by the other town, if you like, we can stay for a while there and eat lunch. After that, we’ll ride a boat to the private island.”
I was happy to hear this so I nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Wait…
PRIVATE ISLAND!?
