"Are you really together?" Gavin asked for the fifth time and Wyatt threw a pillow on him. "I just want to make sure."
"So it's fine to discuss marriage with the two of you?" Nana Pat asked which made me look at Wyatt. "We're about to discuss this after Reese's birthday but since you guys are together I think it's fine to discuss this."
"You're right, Patricia." Nana Barbara said and then looked at us. "If Reese is fine with it, so is Wyatt since he always depends on your granddaughter." She added, which made me chuckle.
"I don't agree with the idea." I said and immediately Wyatt peeked on my face which made me chuckle. "Your decision is as important as my decision is. So learn to decide."
"But really you won't agree with the idea of us getting married." He said as he got his face closer to mine, which made me laugh. "Love, answer me."
"I'm kidding. I told you last night to break up with your girlfriend and be with me instead right? You can be married to me if you break up with your girlfriend." I said and he glared at me. "Why are you glaring at me?"
"Why should I break up with you so you can marry me when all I need is to propose." He said which made me think and nodded. "See. You really love to make things complicated."
"Yeah and I really love complicated things that's why I love you." I said and I heard a cough which made me chuckle. "Wyatt, I want chocolates."
"I'll go check if we have chocolates." Wyatt said and stood up then walked away.
"Mas mabilis talaga sumunod si Chase sa'yo kaysa sa tita mo." Tito said and chuckled. "Your tita Theresa wants to ask what's your secret?"
"Kiss daw saka 'I love you', dad." Chelsie said which made me chuckle. "I'm correct right, ate?"
"I don't know. The last time I checked I'm used to Wyatt being like that to me without doing anything." I said and they all looked at me like they're so shocked. "I'm not really doing anything."
"I got three chocolate bars for you." Wyatt said as he sat beside me. He opened one and gave it to me. "Enjoy eating."
"Thank you. You're the best, Wyatt." I said and kissed his cheeks and then I heard several coughs but I didn't mind them and just continued eating. "Why are you guys looking at us? It's normal for me to kiss his cheeks."
"You kiss Chase's cheeks whenever he gets you something?" Tita asked so I nodded. Tita looked at Mom and they both chuckled.
"Don't tell me that you're buying Reese something before you go home every time we're hanging out somewhere because you want a kiss from her?" Jerome asked and Wyatt threw a pillow at him. "Hindi ka naman nauubusan ng unan." He added, which made me chuckle.
"I buy things because she always asks what I buy for her everytime I go home after hanging out with you guys." Wyatt explained and I nodded as he tried to explain. "She's agreeing with me. Look at her."
"Mom, I have a question. Are you and dad fine with me marrying Wyatt?" I asked and they chuckled! "I'm seriously asking. If you guys aren't fine with it, so do I." I said and Wyatt stared at me before pressing his face on my neck.
"Louis and I talked about it already, Reese. And we do want you guys to get married." Dad said and had a fistbump with tito.
"Your mom and I talked about it already too. And we came up with the decision that if you guys want to then so be it. It's all on you guys." Tita Theresa said and then looked at Nana. "Mom, tita. We can't do anything if they don't want it. Let them decide."
"They'll get married, I'm sure of it. We don't need to force them." Nana Barbara said to them.
"Love, do you want to swim?" Wyatt whispered, "nevermind. I forgot that you're on your period." He added, which made me chuckle.
Days have passed and I'll be 18 in a couple of hours. Chase is already asleep since he's drunk. I laid beside him after I turned the lights off and proceeded to sleep.
"Love, wake up." I heard Wyatt say, which made me open my eyes.
"What's the matter?" I asked as I faced him. "Why are you awake?"
"I love you." He said and hugged me then kissed me. "Happy birthday, love." He added, which made me chuckle.
"You woke up to wish me a happy birthday?" I asked and he nodded. "Thank you, love. I love you."
"I'm hungry." He said, which made me chuckle as I tried to get up. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to heat up food for you since you didn't eat dinner." I said as I tried to remove his arms on my waist. "Love, let's go."
"What are we going to eat?" He asked as we stood up. "I want something salty, love."
"We'll fry bacon for you."
We went to the kitchen but he ended up frying himself bacon while I prepared our plates. "Good morning. Happy birthday, Reese." I heard Bry greeted us, which made me look in his direction. "Ang aga nyo naman."
"Ang bango naman. Happy birthday, Reese." Pia said as she entered the kitchen. She's with Jaxon.
His friends started to arrive one-by-one. "You guys planned this right? Go away and sleep again." Wyatt said to his friends and they laughed.
"We thought you might get up and eat alone so here we are." Gavin said and chuckled. "Good morning, Reese. Happy birthday."
"Love." Wyatt called me as he put the plate of bacon on the table. "Happy birthday again." He said as he hugged me and pressed his face on my neck and planted kisses on my neck. "I hate my friends sometimes." He whispered which made me chuckle. "I want to eat with you alone."
"Do you want me to tell them to leave?" I asked and chuckled. "Or shall we just eat in your room?"
"Just eat with us so we can talk about things." Kelvin said as they all sat. "You're talking to someone last night on your phone, Chase. Who is it?"
"You had my phone last night, love." He said which made me chuckle. "But the one I'm talking to should be here by now."
"Chase, where's Riella? She's not in her room." I heard a familiar voice which made me look up. "There you are. Happy birthday, Riella!"
"Riley!" I called her but stayed still because of Wyatt. She's my cousin from my maternal side. "Anyways, your girlfriend Riella is here, love." I whispered to Wyatt and we chuckled.
"I heard that Chase has a girlfriend already. It's surprising that you guys didn't change at all." She said and Wyatt laughed.
"The set up is fine with Riella so we don't have a problem. Ako sa weekdays, siya sa weekends." I said and her eyes widened which made me laugh. "No one told you about it?"
"No. The only thing I know is that we need to be complete because they're going to discuss something." Riley said as Wyatt removed his face on my neck and looked at me. "Rana! Rae! Riella has a boyfriend!" She suddenly shouted which made me chuckle. So they're really complete.
"She's still loud after all these years." I whispered as I shook my head. "Are your cousins here too, love?"
"They got here last night after you went to bed." He answered me and looked at the door. "Kuya Rock, Ryker."
"We heard about your relationship. This is cool, Cara and I won't be the apple of the eye of our family." Kuya Rock said which made me chuckle. Our family always ships the both of them since they're really close just like me and Wyatt. "I'm sleepy."
"You guys are the apple of the eye because you guys let them instead of telling the family that you guys are in a relationship with someone." Ryker said to him which made me laugh because he's right. "Anyways, happy birthday, Reese."
"Happy birthday, Reese." Ate Cara suddenly showed up beside Kuya Rock and he suddenly looked stiffened, which made me laugh. "There you are, Rock. I was trying to call you but you aren't answering. Let's go, we need to talk." She said and started dragging Kuya out of the room.
"They can't be helped. They keep on denying their relationship but always act so obvious that they're together." Ate Clara said and chuckled, which made me chuckle too. Ate Cara and her are twins, they're Wyatt's cousins. "Happy birthday, Reese. Tell me if Chase does something wrong to you. I'll be on your back."
Our cousins kept on arriving at the kitchen and it's only 4 in the morning but the kitchen is filled with shouting and laughing.
"Stop hitting on Rae, Jerome." I said to Jerome as he kept on flirting with Rae and they just laughed. "Gustong-gusto Rae ha."
"They're together. You didn't know?" Caily said which made me look at Wyatt who just chuckled. "You didn't say it to Reese, Chase?"
"She didn't ask and Jerome told me not to say it so I didn't." Wyatt answered her which made me chuckle. "I'll share what I know to her as soon as I know about something. She loves tea." He said, which made me laugh.
"Speaking of tea. Cooper and I discovered something." Ate Rabia said as she looked at me with full seriousness. "You and Chase are in an arranged marriage right? I heard Mom and Dad talking about it."
"I think you ruin the announcement for later." Kuya Carlo said which made me chuckle. "I heard from Mom that they'll discuss it today."
"It was already discussed with us. And I didn't agree with the idea." I said and looked at Wyatt who's now glaring at me, which made me chuckle. "Don't glare at me, love. We still have 10 years to decide and I was just joking."
"That's a lot of time." Rana said, "I hope you guys are strong enough to reach 10 years." She said and they all agreed.
We kept on talking and everyone had a different topic so the kitchen was really loud and chaotic. "The loud sounds are making me crazy. Shall we go back to our room?" Wyatt whispered so I nodded and just as we stood up everyone got quiet and looked at us. "Continue on what you guys are doing. We're going."
"Why do you need to go with Riella? We want her here." Rei said as she stopped talking to Jerome. "Stay here, Riella."
"I can't. Wyatt and I will do something." I said to her and dragged Wyatt out of the kitchen. "Do you want to swim later, love?"
"If you want then let's do it." He said so I nodded. "Let's go. I've been wanting to give my gift to you."
"I thought Wyacie is your gift for me?" I asked her and I suddenly remembered that I didn't see Wyacie on our bed. "Love, where is she?"
"Cira and Chloe saw her last night and decided to get it. I told them to say it to you but they said that you're asleep already then ran off." He said and stopped walking then faced a door of a room and opened it and it revealed Wyacie who's wiggling his tail as she ran to me. "She missed you." He said and chuckled as I got Wyacie.
"My baby missed me? I love you, Wyacie." I said and kissed it, while Wyatt chuckled. "Do you miss daddy? Do you want to kiss him too?"
"Who'll shower first?" He asked so I pointed to him. "Of course It'll be me because you're moving so slow." He said and walked faster as he laughed. "I'm just telling the truth, love."
We did prepare to take a photo at the seaside at sunrise because they wanted to. My birthday is loud and chaotic as all of them are put in one room, no dull moments. The whole day was fun but the thing is Wyatt is already irritated as someone was always with us and because of how loud they are.
"You know that this would happen way before. You should have ready yourself." I said and chuckled. "You're still not used to this. This always happens for how many times in a year."
"You know that I won't get used to this." He said which made me laugh as I remember how many times he tried to find peace in a loud and chaotic room every time we're with our cousins but he never finds it. "My brain needs to rest." He said as he pressed his face on my neck.
"I have my airpods with me." I said as I put it out of my pocket and put it in his ears then got my phone to play music.
