Lie To Me

Chapter 59: 58

Months turns into years. I still couldn't believe that I have been in a relationship with Elijah for three

years already.

Indeed, time flies so fast when you are happy.

So, tonight. I arranged a candlelight dinner in his unit. It's our anniversary and I want to surprise him.

Elijah was out of the town for a conference he needed to attend. He stayed there for a week and today

is his return.

"Let see," I murmured to myself as I scanned through the arrangements I did.

I'm excited.

All through out our relationship, it was always Elijah who gives more effort between us two. He was

always the one who did surprises and give gifts. But tonight, it will be me who will do an effort and will

give a gift that he will surely surprised with.

[Where are you na?] I texted him.

The conference was held in Tagaytay and he told me earlier that he was about to live the venue. That

was two hours ago so, surely, he's near already.

[Basement, baby. I'm just waiting for the elevator.] He replied.

My eyes widened and doubled check everything. From the lights, table and of course, the food. I

prepared his favorites for this especial night.

And when I heard someone knocking from the door--it's him, I know--I looked at myself from the

reflection in the mirror.

I was wearing a simple spaghetti strap wine colored dress. It lengths just until my knee and my

pambahay slippers. I also wear a light make and I just let my hair cascaded straightly from my back.

I opened the door and there, the man of my life was standing there with a bouquet of tulips in his

hands.

I smiled and ushered him to get inside. He did.

"Wow," he murmured, seeing the set up of his living room and of course, my look. "This is so beautiful,

baby and you look extra beautiful tonight," he said, kissing the top of my head. "For you," he added as

he hands me the bouquet.

I accepted it and smiled at him. "Happy third anniversary, baby." I said, kissing him in the lips.

"Happy third anniversary, baby. I love you since day one," he replied, kissing me back. His hands

automatically wrapped around my waist.

"You prepared all these?" He asked.

I nodded. "What to do some effort to surprise you," I answered.

Elijah pinched my nose. "You know, being with you is more than enough for me, right?"

I rolled my eyes.

God. My boyfriend is so cute.

"Just let me do this for once, okay? It's not like, I will always have the opportunity," I said.

Elijah shrugged. "Baby, kahit huwag mo lang ako sungitan ng isang linggo. Surprise na yun para sa

akin yun," he teased.

I scoffed and he immediately laughed.

"Kidding, baby. But really, thank you for the efforts." He said.

"Anything for you," I said. "Put your things there so we could it na," I told and he followed immediately.

"What did you prepare, hmm?" He asked as he sat on his seat.

I served him the food and I see how his mouth ajar seeing the meals I prepared.

"You cooked these?" He asked, bewildered.

I nodded and smiled. "I watched a lot of tutorials on YouTube and practice, I made Reysa as the tester

and for her own words, it's edible naman." I answered.

Elijah didn't comment on that but he stood and walked to me, he cupped my face and kissed me on the

lips. "I love you much, baby." He said.

I rolled my eyes. "Calm down, Mr. Bel Monte. I just cooked your favorites, nothing's big deal." I said.

"This is a big deal, baby. I know how hard to cook these and I love you more for giving time to learn all

these," he said.

I shrugged. "Alright. Just calm down and let's it. I still have a surprise for you letter so don't be excited

to much," I said.

So, we did. And during the whole dinner,Elijah was kept on asking me about the other surprise. I on the

other hand gives him no answer but shrugs.

"Will you tell me what's you other surprise no?" He asked, we were on his units balcony, sitting at the

couch we placed here.

"Hmm?" I responded. I took out a small box and handed it to him.

"What is this?" He asked.

I shrugged. "See for yourself," I said.

So, excitedly, Elijah opened it and I saw how his eyes widened and his mouth ajar again for the third

time.

He looked at me, his eyes were teary but there's a ghost of smile in his lips. He licked and bit it.

"Congratulations, daddy!" I said and hugged him. I could feel the shaking of his body.

He was really shock, perhaps.

"God, baby. You're making me very happy." He said, caging me inside his arms.

"I am so happy too," I said.

I felt him moved but I his embrace to me was still tight, I couldn't even move my head.

"But baby, can you make me happier?" He asked.

My brows creased, confused of what he said. So, I pushed him a bit but I was shock to see what he is

holding on.

"I was really planning to ask you tonight but obviously, you have stolen my chance," he said and slowly,

he kneeled in front of me.

My hands automatically flew to my mouth to covered it.

"Baby, will you make me the happiest man tonight? Will you marry me, Mommy?" He asked while on

his knees bended and a ring in front of me.

My eyes started to moist until tears fall from it.

I nodded and said, "Yes, baby."

Elijah stook and slid the ring in my ring finger, kissing the back of my hand after. "Thank you, baby.

Thank you for coming in to my life; for giving me a chance to love you and now, for letting me stay by

your side the rest of our lives and of course, for this prescious gift," he said, caressing my lower

abdomen, where our baby is in. "I promise to love and take care of both of you. My babies, you two are

my everything," he said. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

And I can't do anything but cry. I was crying from an overwhelming happiness.

I'm happy for having Elijah in my life and the baby inside mw is giving me more reason to be happier.

I know from this day forward, my life would be at its happiest with the two most prescious gift I have

received.

My future husband, Elijah and our child.

I love them both.
