Ace Of The Beauty (El Vicente Series #3) COMPLETED

Kabanata 39

Wala akong gana hanggang umuwi. I was already feeling motion sickness until I get back at the hotel. Hindi na ako inabala nila Cassandra marahil alam nilang pareho kung bakit ako ganito. They ordered me food and left me alone in the hotel room. Nakatulog ako kaagad matapos kumain ng dinner.

Nagising ako dahil bumabaliktad na ang sikmura ko. I rushed to the bathroom to puke. Naluha ako sa kakasuka. Tulala ako sa salamin matapos buhusan ang mukha ko ng maligamgam na tubig.

Damn it. I thought I almost threw everything out. I didn't drink last night. Pero naalala kong hindi masyadong maganda ang pakiramdam ko. I touched my forehead to check my temperature. It was fine.

I went back to my bed after a few minutes. Tumunog ang cellphone ko at nakita kong si Reign iyon.

From : Reign

Hindi ka na namin ginising. Just go downstairs if you're hungry. Text me if there's something wrong.

I sighed. Now, I'm all alone. Well, that's fine. Iyon naman ang sadya ko ngayon. At least I can have my time alone to think about everything and sort it out.

Lumabas ako para magbreakfast. I was craving for pancake but then when I saw the rice meal, I ordered it. Madalas ay hindi ako nag-kakanin sa umaga pero nagugutom ako.

I finished my meal quickly. I decided to take a dip since I haven't tried swimming these past few days. Umakyat akong muli para magbihis. I wore a yellow stringed bikini under my black long cardigan.

Pumwesto ako sa dalampasigan na malayo sa tao. I wore a sunglasses to hide some of my face. Naglatag ako ng mantel sa silong kung sakaling humapdi ang balat ko. I took off my cardigan and walked through the water.

Hindi masyadong tirik ang araw kahit halos tanghali na. Hula ko ay uulan pa mamayang hapon. It's such a waste. Gusto ko sanang maglakad lakad ngayong gabi.

Bumalik ako sa silong nang mainitan. I felt thirsty so I looked for a neat cafe or a place to at least drink. I stopped in front of a beachside bistro. Didiretso na sana ako papasok nang makita ko ang isang lalaking nakaupo sa labas at may kausap sa cellphone.

What the hell?

Rashid was wearing a black polo shirt and it was opened widely and a dark maong shorts. His black shades were reflecting the ray of the sun. He licked his lips and nodded to whatever his caller said.

"I'll send you, Elizabeth." I heard him say.

Umangat ang tenga ko doon. Matalim ko siyang tinignan at nagmartsa sa katabing lamesa.

Naupo ako doon at kunyaring hindi siya napansin. He looked so fresh with his beach attire. At the same time, he looks like he smells really good. Habang ako ay basa ang panloob at medyo nababasa na din ang cardigan ko.

The waiter approached me. Kita ko ang pagbaba ni Rashid sa cellphone at tinignan ako. I smiled at the waiter.

"Watermelon juice, please." I said.

"Ah, shake lang po available na watermelon, Miss."

My mouth went round. "Oh. Is that so?"

"Opo."

"Sige, iyon na lang.."

Sinundan ko ng tingin ang waiter. I kept my smile on my lips as I watched him walk away. Tsaka lang iyon napawi nang si Rashid naman ang tinignan ko. I gritted my teeth when I found him shamelessly looking at my gaze.

I raised my eyebrow. "What are you still doing here?"

He stood up and without my permission, he sat down in front of me. "This is not your place, Gianna. Hindi mo ako mapapaalis."
