Months had passed, it's now October 30.
In the months that passed, I found myself falling for him more.
He takes care of me, gentle with me.
He's careful with his words towards me, he doesn't like it when I get hurt even if it's just a scratch.
He always bringing me different flowers, cooks for me, he loves cooking for me.
Hindi pa ako nakaka receive ng mission dahil Sabi ni guild ay kasama ko si Vladimir sa iisang bahay kaya delikado.
"Maeve, are you still there?" Napabalik ako sa ulirat nang magsalita si guild sa kabilang linya, kausap ko kasi sya sa phone.
"U-uh, yeah," tumikhim ako at umayos ng upo.
I was currently here on the balcony of our bedroom, vaping.
"Before november ends maeve you need to finish your mission," he reminded.
It made me back to reality, how could I assume that I can stay like this forever?
How could I let myself fall for him?
How could I let myself fall for my enemy?
"Yeah, I know," I coldly said.
"Do you already have a plan?" He asked.
"There will be party on November 12, it's their organization anniversary." I took a puffed from the vape.
"Carpio will be there?"
"Of course, I'm planning on a double kill." I seriously said.
"Just take care, those two are both mafia bosses."
"I know," after that guild bid his goodbye and I ended the call.
I leaned back on my chair, and sighed heavily.
I exhaled the thick smoke.
I stood up and walked inside the bedroom, I placed the vape on the bedside table.
I looked at the wall clock, it's 12AM.
It's November 1.
Vlad, I'm sorry.
I look at the door as it opened, it was Vladimir.
My brows furrowed as I saw he's holding a box if cake and on his other hand was a small paper bag, He walked inside and place the cake and paper bag on the table.
"What was that for?" I curiously asked.
"For you," he walked towards me and held my hand.
"For me?" He nodded.
His other hand untied the tie on the box of the cake and he took out the cake, he placed it beside me.
I read the text on the cake.
'Happy birthday, kitten.'
It was a royal blue theme with lavendet flower and butterfly details, it's a heart shaped cake.
Royal blue, my favorite color.
"How did you know?" I looked at him.
He smiled, "I asked irene before." He caressed my cheek.
I smiled, he asked before and he remembered.
"You like it?"
"I love it, and it's royal blue it's beautiful." I glanced at the cake and to him.
"It's your favorite color," my brow furrowed.
"How did you know?" He chuckles.
"Of course I would know, your cellphone case is royal blue with butterfly at the middle. Most of your dresses are royal blue." He kissed my forehead.
So he paid attention?
"I'm always watching you anytime you're with me, my eyes is only focus on you all the time." I smiled.
"Thank you so much," I hugged him.
"Happy birthday," I chuckles.
I kissed his cheek, "what would I do without you?" I stared at his eyes.
"You don't need to do another without me, because you won't lose me," he kissed my nose.
He grabbed the small paper bag and took out a medium size box.
He opened it and it was a silver necklace with a cursive letters 'Wyrd'.
"Wyrd?" I asked.
"Yeah," he took it out from the box and he put it around my neck.
I held the letters between my fingers.
"What does it mean?" I caressed the necklace.
"Secret," I pouted as he chuckles.
"Don't give me that," he gave me a quick kiss.
I smiled and stood up as I hug him.
Oh god, please don't take this man away from me.
Even if I am to walk away from him, please give him someone who deserves him.
Even if I'm under a mission, i know that my feelings for him will stay true.
I hate the fact that I can't be with him because there's a barrier the keeps us apart, but atleast I get to know what it feels like to be loved.
By him.
I get to know what if feels like to be taken care of, to be seen, to be remembered.
I am happy that I accepted this mission, of all the mission I had successfully finished before, this will be my biggest loss.
I glanced outside as I saw a snow falling, I smiled.
"Love, it's the first snowfall of the year," kumalas sya sa pagkakayakap sakin pero nanatili ang kamay nya sa bewang ko.
"Yeah it is," he held me close on his chest.
I rested my head on his shoulder, matangkad kasi si vlad. Hanggang balikat nya lang ako.
"You sleepy?" I nodded.
He lifted me up and carry me in his arms like a child, as always.
Ihehele nya nanaman ako, I'm always like this towards him.
I always wanted to be babied.
As he started slowly swaying back and forth I closed my eyes, feeling his warmth.
What will happen if he finds out?
Will he still look at me the same?
Will he still love me the same?
Will he still hold me in his arms like this?
Sinuksok ko ang mukha ko sa leeg nya because of that thoughts.
I can't bear it.
And for the first time, I felt scared.
Felt scared to kill and hurt my enemy, not because of how dangerous it is.
But because of how much I already love him and I know I can't hurt him.
As I said, this mission will be my biggest lose, my failed mission.
