Chapter 158: The surprise gift

"That would be great," he mumbled, a smile curling up against his lips.

I kissed the tip of his nose as I laughed at him. He then wrapped his arms around my waist as he captured my lips in a passionate kiss despite the gazes of everyone around us at that moment. "Luke..." I said trying to free myself from his kiss.

"Hmm...?"

"They are all looking at us right now!"

"And so?" he then kissed me again, unbothered by the attention we were getting.

"Hey, Luke Marcuz..."

"What?"

"Let's just continue this at home," I whispered, grasping his shoulders. I had to tell him those words just to stop him from peppering kisses all over my face.

It took him a few seconds before he finally let me go.

"Oh, great God in heaven! I was about to scream 'get a room you two', but thanks for ending your public display of affection right away, I wouldn't have to do it!" Everyone laughed including us when Dana screamed right after Luke decided to let me go.

"Damn! You're making my nerves tremble with envy!" She added, rolling her eyes that made me laugh even more and I realized that her husband wasn't there to hug her and take that envy away. I turned to Luke and was about to ask him where Caleb was, but he has already answered the silent question in my head.

"He was left in Cebu," he shrugged. "He still needs to prepare some documents for the project."

"Ohh..." I uttered, nodding.

After packing our things and saying goodbye to the head of the foundation, we all went on separate ways. While Martha and Toni went with Dana, I went with Luke to his car and headed straight home. "So where is the surprise you were talking about earlier, Mr. Williams?" I asked him as I slowly unbuckled my seat belt. "Can you even give a hint?"

"Hmm... just a few more minutes, sweetheart," he winked at me.

I just rolled my eyes when he leaned forward and kissed me on the lips.

"Sweetheart, it would no longer be a surprise if I gave you a hint. Patience is a virtue, my love."

I bit my lower lip at the last word he said.

I waited for him to come out and opened the door to my side as he told me before getting out of the car. It really enthralled me what the surprise he was mentioning about. "Thanks, Mr. Gentleman," I grinned as I took his hand in front of me.

"Are you ready?"
