I nodded, "Yup."
Thinking for a minute, he firmly answered, "Then no.”
Really? I have to push him further than, he’ll agree for sure. “Come on, don't be so hard to get.
"No, Snow.” He said.
"I mean don't be shy.”
"No.”
I grew tired of it. Damn, huffing, I yelled at him," Just say yes already!"
"Okay," he finally said, agreeing to my offer helplessly like he had no other choice. “There, I agreed. Happy now?” He asked.
Perfect. "So, now that we are 'practically friends'", I quote. "Maybe
He grabbed something from the hoodie’s pockets and I saw two cans of beer. My eyes widened in shock, wow. How does that even fit in there? I just chuckled. "Why don't we drink for a while? Since this world is full of cruel things?" he asked and held out one of the canned beers from his pocket. Grabbing the two beers, I threw it in the trash can, "Eion. You said you are 'slightly drunk' "I quote."Don't drink anymore okay?" I said. He sighed. "Okay. Now, let's go," Standing up, we now walked out and I followed behind him. Good thing that he’s not that drunk, that he couldn’t walk on his own cause I swear, I wouldn’t be able to carry him all the way to his car. Emma gave me a teasing look on the way and exclaimed happily, “My ship is sailing!”
"Snow, help me!" Emma called me in the morning, as it was Saturday and we are off from work. "What is it?" Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I yawned. I really hate people calling me by the morning. "I have...a DATE!" she yelled through the phone. I sat up straight, hitting my head on the headboard but that's not what I was worried about. "A what?" I asked, "Can you repeat that again?" "A date, Snow! And I'm having problems! Come over here ASAP! I need you! I don't know what to dress and what makeup and-" "Whoa there, Emma. Do you think I'm the best person to ask for that? And who is the person? Let me know who the guy is before going-"
Leroy clapped his hands when everyone was already gathered here, "Now that we're complete, let's go guys," Leroy said, slinging his arms on Hannah’s shoulders. I could see Hannah tensing, her flushed cheeks suddenly turning redder, if that’s even possible. I saw Eion tensing up at what Leroy just did, "Don't touch my cousin, Leroy." He said, scowling at him. "Chill Eion, you remember why you're here right?" That made Eion silent and we walked towards the elevator. We came here to watch a movie, as Emma had said. We bought the tickets while the guys got the snacks. "Why didn't you tell me Eion is going?" I glowered at Emma. She chuckled nervously, "Uhm let me explain Snow..."
He was still breathing heavily. Looking at him up close, I watched his chest rise up and down before pushing him away from me. I sent him a glare, standing up and dusting off any dirt on my clothes. He looked at me curiously, then looked around. "The movie ended?" "Yes," I answered, diverting my gaze to him. "I've been waking you up for a while now." "Oh." He said in realization. He brushed his pants and stood up, "Let's go then." “Why did you even grab me?” I said, referring to what he just did. “Sorry, that was just a reflex.” He said. Well, I have to believe him for that I guess. Or I would think that he was just teasing me. Nevermind tha
I was almost relieved that Eion didn’t bring it for the past few days that I saw him but keyword….almost... "I kissed you when I was drunk, didn't I?" That was the first thing I heard as soon as I answered Eion's call on a lovely Sunday morning. I didn't respond to that, as I tried calming down the monkeys in my brain. He remembered! Great! Note the sarcasm. "I did, didn't I?" He asked again but I still didn't reply to him. I mean, what should I say? Why did he even remember it? He sighed, "I'll take that silence as a yes...though I thought it was my usual dream..." That made me scream at him through the phone, "What is that usual dream, Eion?"
I glanced at Eion, who was still eating. "We are?" He nodded. I sent him my plastic smile. "I'm not informed." What the hell is he saying? Is that what he really came here for? So he's still not giving up on Emma and Dax's date. "Didn’t I already said I'm not going?" Mom left us and Nathan was silently watching us the whole time, before tugging at Eion's shirt. "Can we play now, Eionnyy?" He said as he pouted. "You promised to play with me last time.." Eion patted him in the head and picked Nathan on his armpits. "We will after we eat." That made Nathan gleamed excitedly. Eion drank from the glass of water and stood up, ignoring my question. "Thanks for the food, Aunt Eve. I love your cooking." He then turne
And with that, we followed suit to the couple. We arrived after a while at our destination. I furrowed my eyebrows as I saw that the couple was still out of sight. I thought we were going to follow them? "An amusement park?" I asked Eion, "How did you know.." "I heard from Leroy last night." He replied, doing something with his phone. "So you're not only a stalker but an eavesdropper," I commented to which he just gave me a deadpan stare. We spotted Emma and Dax now arriving with Dax's car by the entrance and we stayed from afar. Eion got us two tickets and we now entered. The
Emma and Dax went to a silent and dark place by the back and kissed.I gasped in shock, looking at Eion for confirmation, to see if he saw the same but I didn’t have to ask him when I saw his widened eyes, just like mine, confirming it. Ready to attack them, I was about to stop them but I stumbled. Good thing that Eion caught me before I even had the chance to land on the ground. Our faces were inches apart, his breath fanning my face. He looked at me, looked at my lips, and gulped. We didn’t talk, and he didn’t even break away from me. But our moment was interrupted when I felt myself vomiting. I leaned into him and wanted to go where the restroom is but it was too late. I vomited into his shirt.I didn't remember what happened after that but the next thing I know, I was back at Eion's car with his jacket on, with him wearing a different shirt now. He grabbed a bottle of water in the back of his car and gave it to me. “Drink this.” "What? What
Thank goodness I managed to convince Eion to stop by the reception after making out with him in the car.The reception was at Hudson’s villa, where Eion’s childhood friend, Mario was serving. I spotted him and smiled at him. “Glad you’re still working here, Mario.”He bowed a bit, “Even I’m amazed why Eion didn’t fire me. Anyways, I’m wishing you a happy marriage, Ms. Snow.” He then whispered, “I knew you two would end up with each other.” He said with a wink, and before I could even reply, he walked away.“What was that?” Asked Eion when he caught up to me as he was parking the car earlier.“Oh, nothing. It’s Mario being Mario.” I replied.
Eion started his vow. “Do you remember the very first day that we met?”It was not the usual love at first sight moment. I’ve hated you, not knowing that it was love that I was feeling. We started out as enemies and now, look at us. You have become my lover, my companion, and my best friend. There's no one else I'd want to build a life with. I get to have you by my side, my love, and my wife, for eternity.” Saying that he paused. He was looking at my eyes as he said that. He didn’t have any copy, he then continued,“You have made me the happiest man in the world today by agreeing to share your life with me. I promise to cherish and respect you. I promise to care for you and protect you. I promise to comfort you and encourage you. I promise to be with you for all of eternity.
Reaching the venue, I stayed in the car as the organizers of our wedding checked everything first before we started.I looked at the busy crowd sitting on the chairs. We only have a hundred guests for today as I don’t want to invite a lot.Besides, I don’t have a lot of friends. I lost touch with my high school friends the moment we migrated here. Also, mom is also not that close with dad’s relatives as they both ran away from their home when they had me.And I can’t blame her for that.So I only have mom, Nathan, and some of my classmates from Anastolgia High like Ember. So it’s mostly Eion’s family and relatives as his guests. I saw Luke and Hannah greeting the guests and making sure everyone was comfortable.
“I really didn’t expect you, out of the three of us, to be the first one to get married, Snow.” Said Emma as she applied some powder on her face with her makeup brush. “Oh, are you jealous that she is the first one to be married out of us, or are you jealous because you want to get married next, Emma?” Hannah suggested as she applied lipstick on her lips. Emma just rolled her eyes, “Well, I didn't expect that you, out of all of us, to be the first one to get pregnant, Hannah.” She fired back, pointing at Hannah’s big tummy. Hannah is now seven months pregnant with Leroy’s child. Even I was surprised at the sudden news. I hadn’t expected it. Hannah chuckled at that and winked at me, “This is your time gi
Just then, Eion stopped and stood up. A waiter gave him a guitar and he cleared his throat.“I never sing, Snow, but for tonight, it’s only you and me. I’ll sing for you.”I gasped at that. “Wait, you’re really going to sing?”“Yes. I had been practicing for the past months. In the Philippines, did you know that it was their practice to sing your heart out with a guitar and go to the house of the person you are going to woo. It’s called harana.” He informed me. His hands were tuning the guitar and he was trembling a bit. I flashed him a smile and gave him a thumbs up to encourage him.He nodded, “It may not be your house and we're on a ship right now but... I’m doing it. I hope you’
SNOW’S POV“Snow, a delivery was sent to you,” Mom said as soon as I woke up. Grabbing it and opening it, it was flowers and chocolates, with a handwritten note that I know all too well.It was Eion’s.Reading it, I smile at what he just said inside the note.“To my beautiful snow in my winter heart, this is for you. I haven’t forgotten our anniversary.”this has been his tactic for the past 4 years every time it's our anniversary. Then, my phone beeped and Eion texted me.Did you like the flowers and chocolates? That’s just the teaser. We’ll have dinner later at 7pm. Don’t be late. - your strawberry addict robot
4 YEARS LATERAUNT MAGGIE’S POV“Justin!” I called out, huffing and climbing up the stairs. I turned to his nanny and asked, “He still hasn't eaten his breakfast?”“Yes ma'am. He’s been running around for the whole morning. I apologize.” His nanny replied.I breathed in and out, “Let’s stop chasing him for now. I’m sure you'll get tired soon and eat.” I said, dismissing his tired nanny. II walked towards the dining table where my husband was sitting and having his breakfast. “Honey, can you please call for Justin? His nanny has been tired of taking care of him these days. He has to eat his breakfast.”“Yes, honey.&rd
Emma’s POVWell, I trust Eion,” Snow replied to my question as she checked the time with her wristwatch. Sighing, she stood up and grabbed her bag. “I gotta go now.”I just rolled my eyes at her, “Yeah yeah, go to your strawberry addict robot now and leave your bitter and lonely friends.”She just chuckled at me and bid her goodbyes, with Hannah encouraging her also. “Go get your man, Snow.” She winked and left the ice cream shop.With Snow leaving, Hannah and I were left alone now. I turned to her, “What should we do now? Our friend just left and I’m bored.” I complained to her.It looks like Hannah was not hearing a wo
He turned off the lights. His lips continued on doing wonders on mine. This kiss was different from any of our last time. He trailed down kisses on my neck, down to my collarbone.It’s almost like he wanted to take a taste at everything, every inch of me. I couldn’t help but moan out his name, “Ugh. Eion.”And I covered my mouth from saying that, feeling my cheeks getting hotter in embarrassment.Geez, did I really…just moaned?I bit my lip, looking up at him as he stared into my soul, piercing me with his emerald eyes. He gulped, almost like in an agony, “Say that again. Call my name again, Snow.”I did as he told me, “Eion.”
