The Tour

We rode the coaster bus for the half daw city tour. Reeve brought the stroller in case we'll get tired from carrying Kenji. Good thing that I was able to add them in the tour participants the very last minute.

We sat on the middle part of the bus. I was on the window side while him on the aisle. The girls were seated either on front and adjacent to us.

The tour guide did the headcount and once comfirmed that we are complete she took the microphone and welcomed us.

"Ladies and Gentlemen good morning..." the guide started with his commentary.

Kenji was crying because and he's hungry. Reeve grabbed the bag and prepared his milk. I tried to pacify him but his cry grew louder and I'm getting worried that we were disturbing the other guests. Reeve handed me the bottle and I fed him. He quietly sucked it. Thank God he is good now.

I yawned and Reeve placed my head on his shoulder. I can hear my heartbeating loudly. Oh Reeve what are you doing to my poor heart. But then again I can't help but smile at his sudden gesture.

***

My heart is thumping upon the thought that her head is on my shoulders. I wanted to scold myself for doing that but everything feels like natural now. I know me being like this to her would cause confusion. I don't like the idea of giving her miexed signals but what to do? I wanted her to feel how important she is to me without telling her how I truly feel.

We went to our first stop and it was a museum. We went strolling and then took some pictures. The girls offered to take pictures of us and at the same time they were giving me those looks. But most of the time they were giving us the alone time.

We went to several spots. Good thing that the weather is nice today. We were walking side by side. I really wanted to hold her hand but being with her like this is enough for me.

We went to one of the temples and the sun is out so I the three of us shared the umbrealla while walking and listening to the tour guide.

This temple was built as a grand gesture of love from a husband to his late wife. Its a place that holds the memories and treasures of the latter.

"I like the idea of having a temple as a symbol of love but I guess being at home with the one you love is better." I said as a looked around. Her friends took Kenji for a while so its just the two of us now.

"Just making them feel how much you love and appreciate them everyday is enough. Sometimes the simpler the better." She said while looking at some of the artifacts inside.

"Can you feel it?"

She suddenly looked at me puzzled. "Feel what?"

"Nothing" I shrugged my shoulders and walked a little ahead of her. I'm scolding myself now for saying things like this.

"Hey Reeve what is it?" She caught up with me and now we are walking side by side again. Reeve think quick.

"Can we go to the beach later?" I changed the topic.

"Hey! Don't change the topic!" She's glaring at me now.

"Can you feel the love in this place?"

She thought for a moment then looked down at her shoes. "Yeah" was her soft reply.

We heard the girls calling us because its time to go. "Let's go?" I offered her my elbow which she gladly took.

I can't stop myself from smiling. If I'm so happy with this then how much more if its her had I'm holding right now. I'm like a lovesick puppy. Since when did I started being like this.

She let go of my arm as we approached the girls and she immediately took Kenji from them. We rode the coaster bus again and then headed for the restaurant for our lunch.

The lunch was good and now its time to get back to the resort. Sachie told me she'll stay in the rolm with us because those girls were pushing her out. Anyway tomorrow we'll be going back home.

Sachie said she'll just prepare her things and go to our room later so me and Kenji headed for our room. I laid the sleeping baby on the bed then changed my clothes and then laid down beside him.

I looked at the ceiling and smiled. Now I'm smiling all by myself. I took my phone and looked at all the pictures that we had and those that girl sent to me. We need to buy new frames and I'll include that for our christmas shopping list.

I placed the phone on my chest still holding it and kept smiling like an idiot like now.

Arghh... love can make us crazy huh?
