Chapter 10I marveled at the vast sea of El Nido, Palawan as our plane prepared to land. Soon enough, we were in El Nido, and a car was waiting for us, likely arranged by the hotel."Name, Sir?" the woman at the front desk asked."Carlew Del Prena.""One room with two beds, Sir?" she double-checked. I raised an eyebrow. Two beds? Why not just one? Haha. Just kidding!"Yes.""Here's your key, Sir. Room 106." Carlew quickly took the key and thanked the woman."Let's go, Baby. We'll have lunch," Carlew whispered to me. I blushed, a different thought crossing my mind—kissing Carlew flashed in my mind, and I quickly shook my head to dismiss it."Grrr." I muttered in frustration at my thoughts. Am I becoming a pervert?"Hey." Carlew's voice snapped me back, and I rushed to catch up with him."You're spacing again, huh?" he teased with a smile. I rolled my eyes."Shut up," I retorted, quickening my pace."It's beautiful!" I exclaimed, thoroughly impressed with the place.We were on a boat, a

Chapter 12 "Hey, what's bothering you?" Carlew whispered to me. I could feel his embrace, the warmth of his arms enveloping my body. We stood in front of the window where I was lost in thought before he approached me and hugged me. "Nothing," I replied with a sigh. My eyes remained fixed outside the window.

Chapter 14 "You know? I've only loved one woman like this. It's you," he said with a smile. I couldn't help but smile back. We're both a bit tipsy, and it's getting late. I don't know how we'll manage to get back to our room, even though it's nearby. "I feel the same way! It's only you," I confessed like a child. "Why can't you marry me?" he asked with a serious tone. "Not now, okay? Just wait," I said and laughed. I saw him laugh too. "Why? Are you still scared? Afraid you'll leave me hanging? You love me right? Baby, I know you love me. Isn't that enough?" I heard the pleading tone in his voice, but a smile played on his lips. Once again, I felt the emotions I had when I left someone without knowing him. What if that had worked out? What if I met Carlew afterward? Why am I even thinking about this? Tsk. "Yes, but I
