Lie To Me

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.
