ALSO leah/clark + 59
59. Things you said after we fell in love.
“Mahal kita, wifey.”
“Mahal din kita, hubby,” Leah answers automatically, waking up to find Clark gazing at her lovingly as usual. It’s become their own version of magandang umaga ever since their remarriage—Clark started it because he had simply been so happy that he could now tell her that and not have to pretend it wasn’t true, and have her know that he really meant it, that he had started telling her several times a day.
It had been the first and last thing he’d said on their first official date, the same date where he asked her to marry him again. In the span of that four-hour date, they told each other no less than fifteen times.
“I have a surprise for you,” Clark continues, and he jumps out of the bed. “Stay right there, and don’t look.”
Moments later, he returns with a tray of food that he places in her lap. “Here you go. Bacon, eggs, and—”
“Ikaw!” Leah yelps just as Clark strips off his shirt and finishes, “Me!” with a huge, teasing grin splitting his face.
She places the tray on the side table and sits up on her knees to give him a kiss, then pulls him down onto the bed. “I should never have told you about that dream.”
“Oh no, I think it’s definitely the best thing you’ve ever told me. Besides ‘I love you too Clark! You’re so pogi—’” He adopts a high-pitched voice, and she rolls her eyes and kisses him.
“Oh, so you agree?” he asks, biting his lip and raising his eyebrows, laughing.
“No, it was to get you to stop talking.”
By the time they get to the food, it’s cold and the eggs are rubbery, but cold bacon is still good bacon, and neither of them are particularly upset about what they did instead of eating.
In fact, it might become a weekly ritual.
