18 Roses na.

Si Dad yung una, he gave me the rose and hugged me.

"you turned into this beautiful woman i always dreamed of" dad said with tears of happiness, i hugged him.

"thank you dad, for everything" i said still hugging him.

"you deserve the best Gabriella, that Ricci boy better be good" dad said, natawa ako and smiled at him.

After that its the last dance, Ricci is my last dance, expected na yun.

He walk closer to me with a goofy smile, natawa ako sa itsura niya.

Inabot niya saakin yung rose.

"m'lady" sabi niya in a British accent, and trying hard niya.

I decided to play along.

"what a gentleman indeed" i also said in a British tone, the goofy smile didn't leave our faces.

My arm is over his neck and his hand is resting over my waist, we sway around while the song is playing.

We just stared at each others eyes, while a lot of people watching us.

Ricci is reading my expression, while i did the same.

"Gabbi, thank you" sabi ni Ricci.

"for what?" tanong ko, my fingers draw circles over his neck.

"thank you coming to my life" sabi nya, naramdaman kong uminit yung cheeks ko.

"why are you thanking me?" tanong ko, his lips turned upward.

"because ever since you came gumanda lalo yun buhay ko, kala ko dati hanggang dun nalang ako, pero nung dumating ka narealize ko na hindi pala" sabi niya, i smiled at him ang hugged him.

"thank you din" i said still hugging me, i felt he kissed my forehead, i close my eyes from his kiss.

The night finally ended, i didn't want this night to end but thats not how life works.

We all went home, my parents already talk to Ricci, turns out they really like Ricci, magaling si Ricci makisama sa mga nakakatanda kaya piece of cake lang sakanya sila mom and dad.

Ricci came home with me and Bea, Brent also come along, the boys decided to stay the night, which is a win-win para saamin ni Bea.

Nag palit na ako ng pantulog, Ricci is already in my room.

Pag ka labas ko ng cr naka higa na si Ricci sa kama ko, he is already in his sleep wear, tumabi ako sakanya at niyakap niya ako.

"ughhh this feels so good" sinabi ko, ang sarap sa feeling na after a productive day in the end of the night katabi mo at kayakap yung favorite person mo.

"a really productive day indeed aye?" sabi ni Ricci habang nakayakap saakin.

"oo, i'm really sleepy na" sabi ko, its true my eyes are already close and i can feel the darkness is already eating me.

"go ahead, i'll be here goodnight birthday girl" sabi ni Ricci, he kissed my forehead.

Gabbi is sleeping in my arms, i couldn't ask for more, the girl i really like is sleeping in my arms.

I didn't know perfection could fit right through my arms.

I brushed her hair with my fingers while staring at her.

Her head is on my chest and her arms is hugging me tightly so am i.

Having her this close to me is so good to be true.

I never imagined myself that i'll be in this kind of situation, totoo nga talaga sinasabi nila, expect the unexpected.

Never kong pinangarap na makakakilala ako na katulad ni Gabbi, i'm really blessed to have her here, in my life and of course in my arms.

Just having here in my arms, wala na akong hihilingin pa.

-------------------

-------------------

Nagising ako kase naramdaman ko na wala akong katabi.

I opened my eyes and let the sunlight blind me, i groaned and rubbed my eyes.

"goodmorning palaka" bumukas yung mata ko dun sa boses, the voice is sweet and that voice is the music to my ears.

Nakatayo si Gabbi sa pinto na may hawak na tray.

Ay wow breakfast in bed.

"goodmorning" i said and gave her a cheeky grin, she chuckled.

Nilagay nya yung tray sa harap namin, umupo siya sa tabi ko, she tied her hair up.

Pinapanood ko siya mag tali ng buhok, there is just something about girls doing that, that makes guys fall hard for them.

She smiled at me and signal me to eat.

We ate together in comfortable silence, she made waffles at ang sarap niya talaga mag luto.

Sinabi ko yun kay mama which is ikinatuwa ni mama, while eating pinapanood ko siya kumain, she is on her phone while eating waffles, she is too lost in her own world, pag may nakikitang siyang post sa fb na nakakatawa, tumatawa siya.

Pag tungkol naman yung post sa relationship ngingiti siya or sasabihin niyang 'hala ang cute'

Itong mga maliliit na bagay about kay Gabbi minsan ko lang makita, this little things will always be remembered.

As i stare at her even more, lalong lumalakas yung tibok ng puso ko.

Am i really falling for her?

Nah.

Ayoko munang isipin, ayoko siyang ma-pressure.

Kakagaling lang niya sa bad relationship at na trauma siya.

Time will tell.

Biglang nagising ako sa katotohanan nung tumingin saakin si Gabbi.

"uy malapit na ako matunaw" she said in a cute voice with a cute expression, i pinched her cheeks.

"ang cute mo" sabi ko sabay ngiti sakanya, pumula yung cheeks niya.

Ito isa pa to, palaging namumula yung cheeks nya pagpinupuri ko siya or may nasasabi akong nakakakilig.

"anubaaaaaa! Wag mo nga sabihin yan" sabi nya sabay takip ng muka, kung recorder lang yung mata ko, narecord ko na lahat ng cute moments niya.

"kilig ka lang eh" sabi ko sabay kiliti sakanya, tumili siya napahiga kiniliti ko siya ng kiniliti, she has a really adorable laugh, for others its weird but for me its cute.

Totoo yung laugh niya walang halong kaplastikan hindi kagaya ng mga girls na dinadala ng mga kaibigan ko, when they're around us they act as if they are royalty and act as if they have perfect manners.

"stoooooooop!!!" she squeal in a cute voice, i chuckled at her and stop tickling her.

She is panting like she just went from a morning jog.

"never ever tickle me again" she said in a demanding tone, i smirk at her and she pouted.

"oo na sige na" sabi ko, she hugged me from my back.

Shit.heart.wag.ka.muna.pa.halata.

"good" sinabi niya and she kissed the back of my neck, chills run down my spine.

No one has ever kiss me there, she was the first one who kissed the back of my neck.

She look at me and laugh.

"you look like a tomato" she said and stuck her tongue, i look at her and she is holding her phone out.

My eyes grew wide.

"say hello to snapchat" sabi ni Gabbi, kinuha ko yung phone niya pero mas mabilis siya.

Tumakbo sya palabas ng kwarto at hinabol ko siya.

"come back here" sinigaw ko at tumitili si Gabbi, habang lumilingon siya at nakatapat phone niya saakin.

I love this side of Gabbi.
