This part is still one of those memories coming back to Dane.

"Gavin? Where are we?" Dane asked Gavin as they went inside their home. Gavin was carrying all his things because he was not letting him carry anything! Gavin doesn't want him to feel ill again.

"We're home, Love?" Gavin smilingly said to Dane as we went inside. Gavin quickly put the bags that his carrying on the sofa here in their living room, then he went back to him

"Love!" Gavin was about to hold Dane by his waist like Gavin usually does when he suddenly flinch and got away from Gavin.

"Sorry!" Dane apologetically said to Gavin. He is lowering his head.

Gavin just walked to him. He held his chin and made him face Gavin. Then he just smiled at him.

"You have nothing to apologize to me, Love! I understand everything. I know I'm still a stranger to you but don't worry! I promise to make sure that you are comfortable with me. I will do everything to make you remember me! I am your husband, and I vow at our wedding to always be with you no matter what. In sickness and heath baby, right? I will never stop until I finally get you back. I love you so much, baby, and I will die if I ever lose you again! You have no idea how afraid I was when I saw you lying in the emergency room, almost lifeless! Please don't do that again. Love! Don't put yourself in a situation that will threaten your life ever again! I will die. Love! I promise I will die!" Gavin said to him. He was looking at Gavin confusedly like he didn't know what to say to Gavin. The man can see that Dane is still very hesitant and distant from Gavin, but Gavin can accept it as long as Dane is with Gavin! Everything is going to be okay as long as he is with Gavin!

Gavin just pulled him into a tight hug.

"I love you so much, Love! So much! Please stay with me! Please!"

DANE POV

"Baby? Do you finally remember? Are you coming home to me?" He asked me. I can only just nod at him as an answer while at the same time crying because finally, we are in each other's arms again.

I'm finally home again!

" Oh, Thank God! Finally!" He said while smiling so widely like he had won something big. It's made me smile, too, seeing him finally smile after knowing how much I've hurt him.

He suddenly pulled me into a tight hug.

"Thank you, baby! Thank you, love, for remembering me! Thank you!" He said repeatedly

"I haven't recovered all my memory yet, but everything is clear to me now! That you are my life! You are my love! You are my everything! I'm so sorry for coming back to you so late! I'm so sorry for hurting you so bad! I'm so sorry for letting you go through all of that! I didn't mean all of that Love! I love you so much, and I'm so sorry for forgetting about you! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me! Please forgive me. Love!" I said to him, I feel so hurt and devastated for him. I feel so sorry.

He let go of me then looked me straight in the eye.

"Forgive you? About what? I love you! I know you didn't mean all of that! I know you love me, baby, that is why I'm waiting for you! I know for sure that you will come back to me! And you did! You are here! You are finally home! God, I miss you so d*mn much!" He said to me, then pulled me into a tight hug again!

"I love you so much, Gavin! Thank you for waiting for me! Thank you so much for being so patient with me. Thank you!" I smilingly said while hugging him so right

"It will always be you, love! No one else! So I will keep waiting for you until the end. Only you!" He sounded so happy while saying this to me.

"I love you so much, love!" I said to him while hugging him so tight.

"I love you so much too, Love! So d*mn much!" He said to me

------------------------------

DANE POV

Every memory flashes right in front of me! Every emotion I have that time is like I'm feeling it all over again. I go back to that very moment to remember what I felt.

I'm starting to cry again!

I can't lose him!

One thing that I know for sure is that I can't lose him! I can't!

I quickly turn around to look at Hai, who is just looking at his phone.

"Just on time!" He smilingly said, then looked at me again

"I can't, Hai! I can't lose him! I can't lose, Gavin! I can't live without him! I love him! I love him so much! I don't care about that bet anymore! I don't care if we started just because of a f*cking bet because I know for sure that I can't live without him! He is my everything, and I know I am too! I love him, Hai! I love him so much!" I hysterically said to Hai!

Omg! Why did I run away! Why didn't you trust Gavin! Why didn't I realize this yesterday when I remember everything! Why!

Hai just smiled at me then he spoke.

"Don't tell me that! Tell him!" He said, then looked at my back so quickly turned around.

Don't tell me...

It's Gavin!

"Love!" He called me. He looked confused when he saw me and Hai are together. I looked at Hai. First, he smiled at me before speaking again

"I texted him your location! I know he is the only one who can make you happy, Dane! I know he is the right guy for you. I want it to be me, but I know I can never be the one for you! I don't deserve someone like you! You're too perfect. Just be wasted with me. So please don't dwell on the past anymore. Live your every present with him and look forward to every future you and him will have together! Be happy, hon! You both deserve it! You deserve it!" Hai smilingly said to me. I can't help but feel so thankful for him because, without him, I don't think I would be able to realize that I'm about to make the greatest mistake of my life. I immediately hugged him for a second; then I let go

"Thank you so much for this, Hai! Thank you!" I happily said to him

"Anything for you, Dane! Always remember that I'm always here for you!" Hai smilingly said to me. I looked back again to see Gavin was still looking at us. I know he has so many questions for me right now. I just smiled at him then I stood from the bench and started to run to him, but I stopped in the middle of my running and went near Hai again.

"Thank you so much again, Hai! I don't know how to repay you for what you did, but After what you did for me, I can truly say that I'm starting to forgive you! It may not be full, but someday I know I will. I hope if ever we can see each other again, I hope we can be friends again!" I smilingly said to him.

"I would love that!" Hai smilingly said to me. I smiled back, then turned around again, leaving Hai, and started to run to the man I truly love. The man who owns my everything. The man whom I will never stop loving until death himself stops me. The man whom I declared as my forever!

It's Gavin!

"Love, what happened? Why..." I didn't let him finish, and instead of answering him, I jumped myself into Gavin.

Gavin was so confused at first. He looked like he was about to ask me something when suddenly I held both of his cheeks. My lips meet his! No one is moving at first, I know Gavin is still confused and shocked about my sudden moves on him, but I don't care! I miss him! I want him! I just want him to feel that I'm here! That I'm not going anywhere!

A few more seconds, I felt his body soften. His arms are starting to snake into my body. His hands are starting to touch every bit of my back. He is pulling my body into him! It is the warmth and feeling that I longed for that seems like days.

If I didn't listen to Hai, could I survive without this? This moment that I'm having right now, Can I survive without all of this?

No one between us wants to escape and let go of it. I unconsciously pulled Gavin's face more and slowly opened his mouth. It seems that my hands have their own life! I started to linger my tongue all over his while allowing Gavin's tongue to enter and explore every part of mine. I missed him! I missed tasting this very sweetness of his. Our tongues are dancing inside our mouths, sipping and sucking whatever it touches.

It's like we are in a zone!

Our zone while our favorite music is playing in the background. We keep on doing that, tasting each other sweetness and feeling our dominance. It was solemn at first, but then it started getting intense. Every touch, kiss, and suck is like we are on drugs.

God! This is so good! We are kissing like there is no tomorrow. The feeling that if we let go, we'll go to die? Gavin pulled me more into him. I even felt his manhood touching mine! Gosh! He is so hard already. The way Gavin is kissing me is like he is sucking the life out of me. It was like me having my f*cking brand of drug. It's making me go insane!

Insanely happy!

AUTHOR POV

"I wish you all the happiness in life, Dane! Even it's not with me! I wish you all the love and happiness that this world can give you! You've been through a lot already! I will be hurt for a while because I know I can never have any chance to have you anymore by I can trade anything in this world, even it's my own heart just to see you smile and be happy like that! Be happy, Dane! You deserve this! You both deserve this!" Hai said to himself while watching Dane and Gavin.

He stands from the bench. He gave Dane and Gavin a last look. He smiled at them before he turned around and started to go away.

DANE POV

We are kissing but more like eating each other insanely for a whole 5 minutes when we finally decide to let go. Gosh! We are almost like grasping our own breathes because of this.

"Love?" He called me in between his breathes. I just pulled him into a tight hug. I feel so guilty looking at him right now. I can't believe I thought of leaving him. This man right here is my life and the thought of him being away from me is like killing myself with my own bare hands.

"I'm so sorry, Love! I didn't mean to act the way I act! I will tell you everything someday but please don't ask me! I can't tell you everything right now, not because I want to hide it from you but because I feel so guilty that I even thought about it. I'm so sorry, baby! I promise! I will never leave again! I will never do anything to make you worry about me again. I promise never to do anything that will make me leave your side! I don't care about anything that happened in the past! What is important is right now and what will happen for us in the future! You are my everything, Gavin! You are my life, and I will do everything to make you and I last forever! We are forever. Love! We are forever!" I said while hugging him. Gavin pushes me away from a little, but we are still holding each other. We are now looking at each other sincerely.

"We already are, baby! You don't need to do anything to make it true because we already are! I already told you, right? You are my life and my forever! Nothing and no one can ever change and stop that! Even death! I will love you for my every lifetime! Only you, baby! I admit I have so many questions for you right now! You made dad, mom, especially I so worried about you! The moment I woke up and you weren't there! You have no idea how scared I was! I don't want to lose you, just like what happened last time! I will die, baby! So please don't ever do that again! Don't ever leave my side without me or anyone knowing. About your reason! I can wait until you are ready! Always remember that I will always be here to listen and understand you! I love you so much, love! Always remember that!" Gavin smilingly at the same time seriously said to me, I smiled at him too

"Thank you for understanding. Love! I love you so much too. Love! Always and Forever!" I said to him.

We kissed again for a few seconds before we pulled each other bodies into a tight hug.

This feeling right here is the most powerful feeling we have ever felt in my whole life. Feeling him like this is always the best of all. I can trade and forget anything just always to feel and have this very moment.

He is my Gavin! I'm his Dane, and this is our love story!

It is the start of our forever!

AUTHOR POV

Five Years Later...

"Liam! Liam! Baby! Don't run! You'll be hurt again just like last time!" Dane is busy running all over the park, going after his 3-year-old son.

Today is their wedding anniversary, and they decided to spend it here. Gavin and his family are in the park where Dane always goes before to let out all his pain. This place witness all his pain but now, after that day! It started to witness only happiness and love between Dane and Gavin, and now with their 3-year-old son! Liam Axel Lim. They were able to have Liam thru surrogacy, Thanks to the support and help of their families and friends.

Everything is going so well for Dane and Gavin. Not perfect because they are still human! Small fights and arguments can't be avoided, but they are always ensured never to go to sleep without fixing their problem.

They also promise each other pure honesty! No more secret, even if it is for the own good of another! Dane already told Gavin about the real reason why he almost leaves everything behind. Gavin was shocked, but he understood why Dane felt that way. He never blamed him for not trusting his love; instead, they promised each other never to lie to him ever again. Ever since then, it feels like! Nothing can truly break their relationship anymore. Their love is their very foundation to always stay at their promise and vow never to let go of each other.

Liam was running so fast until he was finally caught by his dad Gavin.

"Baby! You made your mommy run after you again! Be ready for another round of scolding, baby! You know I can never defend you on mommy, right? or else, Hello! The sofa is me again!" Gavin playfully said to Liam, who was just looking at him because he still couldn't understand everything that his dad was saying to him. He is just busy pinching Gavin's noise while giggling

"There you are! Gosh! Love! Your son is so energetic! I wonder where did he get it from!" Dane said in between his shallow breathes.

" Of course to us, mommy! He is our son! Of course, he takes everything from us!" Gavin smiling said while holding Dane's hands and started to walk to their picnic mat again

"Hahaha, Silly!"

They finally arrive at their picnic mat. Gavin and Dane sit on it. Dane slowly lay on the carpet, resting his head on Gavin's lap. Liam is just sitting in front of Gavin's other Lap.

"I guess it is my job to feed both of my babies now!" Gavin playfully said. Dane smiles at him brightly while nodding his head repeatedly! Gavin just smiled at him and gave him a peak on his lips. He started to pick some grapes from their food basket to feed Dane. Dane's personally made food for his adorable but playful son!

"Dada! Dada!" Liam playfully said, which made Gavin and Dane so very happy. Dane lifted his head. He looked at his son.

"Yes! Baby! Dada is going to feed us! He is feeding us because he loves us so much! Right, Dada?" Dane playfully asked Gavin

"Of course, baby! I love you both so much!" Gavin proudly and happily said.

"Dada! Dada! Dada!" Liam continues to call on his making the couple laugh while hearing and watching their son.

After all the things that happened to them in the past.

For Dane and Gavin!

Everything seems so perfect now! Everything is in its rightful place. Them in each other arms and now with their son!

Everything is perfect!

Everything!
