Bryle sent me home early the next day so that I can make it on time of our flight to Phuket.
I don’t even feel like leaving the resort anymore after Bryle and I sorted things out and became an official lovers. Our stay there was very enjoyable and memorable for us.
We went on a skinny dipping last night since Bryle was so certain that no one else would see us naked. It was embarrassing, really, but it was also fun. Bryle kept on pulling me for a kiss every chance he got. Thank goodness nothing more than making out happened or else I’ll be limping for the next few days. After skinny dipping for two hours straight, we eventually stopped and finally head back to our cabin and cuddled all night until sunrise.
“See you on our wedding day, Win,” he says once he parked the car in front of our house.
“Win?” I say in amused tone when I hear him calling me ‘Win’ for the first time.
He smiles gently at me, “Yeah... Win. I’ve been holding myself back on calling you that, you know? I didn’t want you to feel any more uncomfortable than it already was so I stopped myself from calling you that. But now that we’re finally official, I’ve decided to call you that name. It suits you, you know...” He says while patting my head.
I nod my head in agreement, “It’s cute, actually. I like it!” I smile at him.
He gently grazes his palm down to my cheeks and pinches it. “You should go now. You don’t want to be late, do you?”
I nod my head again, “Okay... See you at the wedding day, Bryle. Take care!” I say and is about to go out of his car when I remember something.
I stop in my tracks and turns to look at him reluctantly. He raises an eyebrow at me but didn’t say anything. Oh my gosh! Should I do it? Should I kiss him? We are already boyfriends so maybe it’s not a problem at all. But I am so shy!
“What’s wro—”
Before he could even finish what he was saying, I quickly steal a kiss on his lips before rushing out of his car like the flash and into the house. I didn’t wait for him to say anything and I don’t want to see his reaction.
I close the door and sigh in relief. Oh my gosh, Alwin! Did you just initiated a kiss?! I feel my cheeks go hot at the realization. I slap my face to disappear the blush on my face.
I instantly jump in surprise when my mom suddenly comes out from the kitchen with a teasing smile plastered on her face.
“M-Mom...” I don’t know why I stuttered when I see her.
She wiggles her eyebrows at me suggestively and I immediately blush. “So, how was your date with Bryle at the resort?”
“W-Well, it was productive...” I impassively response. My eyes go wide at what I’ve said and internally slaps my face.
My mom giggles at my reaction, “Okay...” She says full of malice.
“Mom! It’s not what you think it is!” I exclaims embarrassingly and covers my face with my palms.
I probably look like a tomato right now.
She shakes her head in astonishment before saying, “Okay. Okay. I won’t tease you anymore. Are you ready to go now?”
I confusedly look at her, “But I’m still not prepared.”
She abruptly points her fingers my side. I follow where her finger is pointing and see three suitcases standing near me that I didn’t even noticed before. “Don’t worry, son. I got you covered. I prepared your things for you so when you finally arrived, we’ll immediately leave.”
“Okay... And where’s dad?” I ask and look around the living room.
“Well... He’s still inside our room, probably sulking because I didn’t let him come with us,” she says and laughs. I shake my head at my mother’s antics. She’s really something.
“Why won’t you let him come with us, though?”
“Because he’s a boy, honey. He’s not allowed to come with us. He should be with your fiancé.”
I look at her boringly, “Have you ever realized that I’m a boy too?”
“Oh, honey. Have you ever realized that your lover is a boy too?” She tunts back and I just roll my eyes at her silly comeback.
“You’re insane!”
“Oh, please. Tell me about it.”

“Alwin! Victoria!”
Bryle’s mom exclaims when she sees me and my mom getting inside the airport. She is the first one to arrive here since I got home a little late. She is wearing a simple black dress paired with a black two inch stilettos.
We immediately come up to her and I hug her before kissing her cheeks. “Hi, mom!” I greet her enthusiastically.
I’ve been calling her ‘Mom’ since that day we had dinner at their house and it was uncomfortable, but now that Bryle and I are finally official, I don’t feel that uncomfortable calling her ‘Mom’ anymore.
“Hello, Sunshine!” My mom greets her too.
“I’m sorry if we arrive a little bit later, mom. I just arrived from the resort,” I apologize to her and she just nods her head in understanding.
“It’s okay, honey. I understand. I hope that Bryle took care of you!”
“Of course, he did, mom. He’s such a husband material already,” I say and reminisce all the sweet things Bryle did for me at the resort.
He cooked me my favorite dish, Pad Kaphrao for dinner. It was very delicious that I emptied my plate in one go and asked for another. He was so amused at me that he kept teasing me about having a cute fat cheeks whenever I munched. I admit that his cooking is more yummier than my mom’s. Please don’t tell her that, she would probably get upset if she hears that.
Bryle insisted on blow-drying my hair after we took a skinny dipping at the beach.
Bryle spooned me in his arms when we went to bed after. We kept sharing each of our childhood memories until there was nothing to share anymore and he decided to just whisper sweet nothings to my ears until I fell asleep.
When I woke up the morning after, I was met with Bryle holding two cups of coffee and he hand me the other one.
It was the best. He was the best.
