The President's Son [PUBLISHED under POP FICTION]

Epilogue

"Shouldn't we go back?" Tanong ni Samantha habang nakayakap sa asawa.

"No," bulong ni Adrian. His eyes are closed while stroking Samantha's exposed back.

They're both in bed in Adrian's villa. Pagkatapos ng kasal ay hindi na sila nagtagal pa sa reception. Adrian carried her to the villa and to consummated their marriage.

"Okay lang ba sa mga parents mo na wala tayo sa reception? Baka kung ano na ang isipin nila."

"Mama was already asking for grandkids so it's okay na hindi na tayo bumalik sa reception," ang sagot ni Adrian and kissed his wife's forehead.

Natawa lang si Samantha sa sinabi nito.

"How many kids do you want?"

"As many as we can," sagot ni Adrian habang hinahalikan ang pisngi ng asawa.

"What?" Natatawang tanong ni Samantha. "Totoo?"

"Mmhmm...Kaya we need to make up for the lost time," sagot niya as he's exploring her neck.

Nakiliti si Samantha at walang nagawa kundi ang tumawa. Hinayaan niya lang si Adrian sa ginagawa nito.

"Sandali," ang sabi niya nang makita ang nakataob na picture frame sa bedside table.

Kanina pa niya iniisip kung ano ang litrato na nasa frame at kung bakit nakataob ito. Bumangon siya para kunin ang picture frame.

"Come back to bed," sabi naman ni Adrian habang hinihila ang beywang niya pabalik.

"I'm just curious about this," sagot ni Samantha at kinuha ang picture frame.

"Ah, yan?"

Napatawa si Samantha nang makita ang picture.

"You kept this?" Tanong niya habang pinagmamasdan ang isang newspaper clipping. It was the picture of them in the restaurant kung saan nakatitig si Samantha kay Adrian.

"Uh-huh," nahihiyang sagot ni Adrian. "I can't help it. I love that picture. You looked so amazed while looking at me."

Napatitig si Samantha sa mukha niya. Tama nga si Adrian. Her emotions were showing on the picture.

"Ano bang inisiip mo diyan?" Tanong ni Adrian.

Umiling si Samantha. Hindi niya maalala.

"I have no idea," tumatawang sagot ni Samantha at bumalik sa tabi ni Adrian.

"Were you already in love with me in that picture?" Tanong ni Adrian.

She didn't expect that question from him. Pero alam ni Samantha that he deserve to know the answers to his question.

Tinitigan ni Samantha ang asawa bago sumagot. He looked overjoyed.

"Hindi pa," sagot niya and kissed his lips lightly.

"So, when did you fall in love me?" He asked in between kisses.

"Noong birthday ng mama mo when we were dancing in the kitchen and you asked me to close my eyes," sagot niya and pulled him closer to deepened the kiss.

"Talaga?" Natatawang tanong ni Adrian as trailed sweer kisses from her mouth to her neck.

"Sandali, may naalala ako," ang sabi ni Samantha at hinila ang mukha ng asawa.

"What is more important than kissing you?" kunwari ay nagrereklamo si Adrian.

"Noong may hangover ako, you said something about owning my lips?"

Natawa si Adrian sa tanong nito.

"You were so drunk and you said, 'you might own my lips but my heart belongs to Miles'. Marami ka ring sinabi sa gabing 'yun," sabi ni Adrian.

"Ano?" Hindi makapaniwala si Samantha.

"Totoo. Kumanta ka pa nga ng 'All I want to do is make love to you'," at tuluyan nang tumawa si Adrian.

"No way," umiiling na sabi niya habang nakatingin sa tumatawa pa ring asawa.

Nang tumigil sa katatawa si Adrian ay naging seryoso ang mukha nito.

"I own your heart now, don't I?" tanong nito while stroking her lower lip.

Tumango siya.

"You own my heart, my body, my mind and my soul," nakangiti niyang sagot.

When Adrian started kissing ay pinigilan niya ito. Nagtaka naman ito habang nakatitig sa kanya.

"Bakit?" Tanong nito.

"Did I really sing that song?" Hindi makapaniwala niyang tanong. She hated that song at hindi siya makapaniwala na 'yun ang theme song ng couple na ikinasal sa araw na 'yun.

"Yes, so shut up cause that's what I want to do, too."

Napangiti siya at sinalubong ang mga halik ni Adrian.
