Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Agatha

WHEN I finished cooking, I immediately went to Xy's house.

I cooked Bulalo again today. I woke up very early just to cook it, because it would also take a few hours to cook the bulalo. You know, the cow's leg must cooked very well and properly.

It's my last day here, because I'm leaving tomorrow for Wisconsin. So I decided to cooked Xyna’s most favorite dish. Because I'm sure she'll miss my cooking. Why not spoiling her, right?

When I got to her house I immediately inserted my spare key into the key hole.

As her ‘supposed’ personal assistant and her friend as well, Xy trusts me in everything. Including giving the spare key of her house and her room. But, I don't just enter her room without her giving me a permission. That's invading privacy!

When I entered, I just heated the rice and prepare the food.

When I finished, I went up to her room to say that it's for breakfast.

I was about to knock when the door suddenly opened causing my hand to left hang in the air.

She raised an eyebrow. “What are you doing?”

“Ah, hehehe” Gosh! I look stupid!

“I just want to say that breakfast is ready.” I said while smiling, trying to hide the embarassment feel.

She just nodded and went down, I followed her.

She went to the dining table and sat on her usual seat whenever we ate.

“Hmm, so you decided to spoil me before you leave, huh?” she said while looking at the Bulalo I cooked?

I sat in the chair in front of her and smiled at her widely.

“Of course I'm leaving tomorrow. We're not gonna see each other for a long time. So I want to spoil you as much as I can” she sighed and start eating.

“Ah, by the way, Xy. Can I sleep here tonight? It's just want to be with my bestfriend before I leave” I beged.

“All right. But, you know what time do I got home, right?” I nodded.

“Don't eat at the restaurant tonight I'll just cook for you. Let's eat dinner together for the last time” I said.

She nod and mouthed “Okay”

When we finished eating, she said goodbye before going to the gym, maybe she'll practice boxing again.

I decided to go to a nearby mall for a walk. I'll take advantage of this day, because I'm going to miss this place.

Hopefully while I’m not here, nothing bad happens to Xy. I trust Mr. Harrisom, who I'm sure is already Xy's friend. I saw how he made my friend laugh. I just hope he's not like the others who are just using her, you know for fame and other stuffs. I just hope he won't hurt Xy.

But I know kt will also be hard for me in Wisconsin. It looks like that man's also hard to tame!

But, I hope that as soon as possible I'll be able to know the real reason why he is like that. If he really has a reason.

I hope this won't be a painful battle for me. And...for us.

Margaux (Xyna's part)

Pat supports me from walking, as I'm a wearing a blindfold.

You maybe wondering why I'm wearing a blindfold. It's because Patricia said to. She ssid they have a surprise for me.

I wonder what it is. You know it's not my birthday. No one has a birthday today. Yes, I memorized all their birthdays.

As I walked, my chest is pounding harder and faster.

Later on, I felt Pat removed my blindfold. When I opened my eyes, my vision immediately adjust. And then I just know that someone's already singing.

‘W-Wait, I know whom that voice is!’

All I Ever Need

By: Austin Mahone

“Don’t the water grow the trees

Don't the moon pull the tide

Don't the stars light the sky

Like you need to light my life”

I smiled as I cried in happiness.

I scanned my eyes to the surroundings. And I see a red heart shape everywhere. Even the balloons are heart shape red.

They are all here too—our families. Mom, Dad, and Liam. Aunt Zia, Uncle Drake and then the Grail. Pat and Nale were also here.

I saw the women slowly turning around. Mom turned around first. And I saw a word on her shirt.

It's the word “WILL”. Next is Grail who also turn around, and has a word on its shirt too.

It's “YOU”.

The next to turn around was Aunt Zia and like mom and Grail, there was also a word on her dress—“MARRY” is the word. The next and the last, Pat turned around and I saw the word “VINCE”.

I concatenated the sequence of words.

“WILL YOU MARRY, VINCE!” I covered my mouth and cried even more with joy.

“You’re all I ever need

Baby, you're amazing

You're my angel come to save me

You're all I ever need

Baby you're amazing

You're my angel come to save me, oohh ... ”

Vince slowly walking towards me while still singing.

“When it comes to you, baby I'm addicted

You're like a drug, no rehab can fix it

I think you're perfect baby even with your flaws

You ask what I like about you, ooh I love it all ... ”

He gave me the bouquet of red roses he's holding, I accepted it with a wide and sweet smile.

“When it comes to you, baby I'm addicted

You're like a drug, no rehab can fix it

I think you're perfect baby even with your flaws

You ask what I like about you, ooh I love it all”

He finished the song.

He smiled at me widely, then began to speak.

“We've been through a lot, love. We started out as friends — even though we knew our families were at war. Until little by little we fell in love with each other ... until we became as lovers. We kept it a secret. Because we know mom and dad, uncle and aunt, will get angry — No, our fathers will get angry. But, they still find it out, and as weexpected, they got angry. They even tried to separate us, but ...” he stopped talking as we giggled in unison, when we remembered those times.

It's been two years since that happened. Also been two years since our family truce.

Vince continue speaking. “...it didn't hold us back ...and we still continue our relationship. Then it even reach the point where we have no choice but to ran away from them so that they can't meddle with us anymore. We don't care if we don't have much money that time, as long as we're together we're good. But, we were surprised when they suddenly showed up in our house, and said that they agreed to our relationship. We were very happy that time. Because, finally we can be together. Finally, no one will be the hindrance to our love. It's been two years since that happened, and we've been together for two years now. And now, first... I want to say I love you. I love you so very much. I won't get tired of telling you that I love you. I love you more than anyone else in this world. Now, love....

Suddenly he knelt down and pulled out a small box and opened it.

I gasped and looked at her teary-eyed. A r-ring.

“... do you wanna spend your life with me? Do you wanna grow old with me? Will you be my wife, and me as your husband? Will you marry me?” he asked looking nervous about my answer.

‘He knew he was the only one. He's the only one I want to be with forever. He must not worry 'bout it’

“Yes ... YES! YES! YES!” I shouted in joy. He chuckled.

I could see that he felt better and was overwhelmed ith joy because of my answer, but is holding it.

He put the ring on my finger. Its stone is small, you can say it's simple, but it's very beautiful and stunning!

There is no room for my joy right now. I'm very very overwhelmed with mixed emotion, because I'm going to marry the man I love the most! I-I can't. I just can't. I can't control my happiness.

He hugged me tight and caressed my hair “Te amo mucho, mi amore”

“Yo también te amo” I smiled in response to what he said.

“And .... cut!”

Dwyne and I immediately parted in the hug.

“The emotions looks so real! Even though we know it's not. You're feeling your character's feelings too much!” Dwyne said while looking so surprise. And why is that?

“Well! It's my specialty to make my character's emotions felt so real” I said proudly. We both laughed.

“And you, you're good at proposing, huh? Can you do that to a woman too?” I teased him.

He shrugged. “Who knows? Maybe, maybe not. It depends. If I found the right one for me, why not?”

I just nodded.
