CUT THE CRAP JACKIE. stop insinuating na —

"not here sweetie. ah jade would you mind showing us OUR seats"

"of course.... but i'm afraid mr. faulkerson is seated far across the seat assigned to you ms. asuncion"

"then have it arranged quickly!!!! a couple ne—"

WE'RE NOT A COUPLE! PLEASE JADE show me where MY SEAT is

"RJ! i already tol—"

he already told you to back off ms. asuncion.... hey there mr. faulkerson

she loocked her eyes with him and gave him a quick liplock which earned gasps from the crowd, especially the media people covering the biggest business event of the year

ms. mendoza

"soooo.... she's the REAL ONE!"

SHE DEFINITELY IS! ms. jade pascual meet ms. maine mendoza MY GIRLFRIEND

"pleasure is mine ms. mendoza"

they started walking, suddenly maine stopped and turned to jade

oh and by the way, jade.... i'd like to correct mr. faulkerson here.... i'm not his GIRLFRIEND

bie what's this???!!!

I'M HIS FIANCE.... and that's for the record ms. asuncion

"congratulations then mr. faulkerson and soon to be mrs. faulkerson"

thanks jade. come on bu... i love you

his mind was baffled. he was surprised more than jackie was. he didn't know had he heard her correctly or if she really is there.... she's in macau isn't she? she was supposed to arrive tomorrow, right? was this all real? and fiance? he hasn't proposed yet.... was this really happening? what's going on? was he dreaming? if he is, he does not want to wake up.

on the way to their seats....

bu.... nandito ako.... hindi ka nananaginip... so stop staring

panong? di ba?

hay.... sorry na kasi.... palpak... it was supposed to be a surprise... sorry hindi ko napigilan nainis kasi ako dun sa BUSINESS ASSOCIATE slash SUPPLIER mo! kakagigil

but... you're really here?

rj... kanina pa ko dumating.... i was supposed to surprise you pero mukang sira na yung surprise ko.... dapat kasi mamaya pa eh.... may speech pa sana ak—-

he suddenly kissed her. he captured her lips with a searing kiss that caught media's attention. suddenly there were flashes of cameras capturing this moment where the country's youngest and hottest business entrepeneur who had been very elusive for more than a year is now publicly kissing a gorgeous girl who claims to be his fiance

my fiance huh? care to explain ms. mendoza

ayun na nga.... dapat surprise pa nga kasi... mamaya pa dapat ako lalabas pag nagspeech ka na.... sasalubungin kita pagbaba mo tapos magspeech ako tapos i'll get down on my knees and propose pero wala na—

wait up!!! propose? tama ba ang narinig ko? ikaw ang magppropose sa kin? ms. mendoza! that's my job

enough about you doing everything rj.... ako naman... you planned your proposal two years ago and believe me, that night i would've said YES in a heartbeat... kasi ikaw lang rj... we might have had a gap somewhere but it never gave me any reason to stop loving you.... i paused.... i did.... i was lost, for a moment there, i was.... but your love was so great it led me back to you.... your love made me find my way home.... sayo at sayo lang ako uuwi.... ikaw at ikaw lang hahanapin ng puso ko.... this time AKO naman.... this time, i'm choosing for myself -i'm choosing not to let you go ever again, this time i'm choosing to hold your hand from this day forward, this time i'm choosing to stay, this time i'm choosing to give you my life.... mr. richard faulkerson jr., spend the rest of your life with me.... please.... marry me?

and with that he kissed her once again - never cared who witnessed the kiss - all he cared about is the woman professing her love for him with whom he also love the most.... he might not be the one asking the question now but all he cares at the moment would be this beautiful woman ready to take the leap with him.... he promised he'll take it her phase and if her phase wants him to be her husband who is he to complain....
