Ludic Selcouth #3: Dancing Keys

Key #29

Our overnight on the mountain was a bliss. We had a bonfire, made some s'mores, star gazed, talk about a lot of things, future plans, we harot each other for an hour, cuddled while Paesyn purposely told me scary stories to scare me. We slept inside my tent, he literally neglected his standing tent because of my stubbornness.

I forced him to sleep beside me, dahilan ko ay natatakot at napaparanoid ako. Huh, my brilliant reasons just so the cuddles won't end.

Wala naman kaming ginawang masama. We are innocent.

Kinabukasan ay gumising din kami nang maaga para maabutan namin ang sunrise. It was another epic scenery.

Pagkatapos ng sunrise ay nag-ayos na kami ng mga gamit para makapaghike na kami pababa ng bundok.

"What's with the pouting lips?" Paesyn asked when he saw me pouting while arranging our things. Naibaba na namin yung tent at paalis na talaga kami.

"Ang bilis talaga ng oras. Paalis na agad tayo." I said sadly. He smiled and zipped his bag before approaching me.

"We still have the whole day until tomorrow, don't be sad." parang gusto ko nalang munang pabagalin yung oras habang magkasama kami ni Paesyn. Unti-unti ko nang nararamdaman ang nalalapit nilang pag-alis.

"Pwedeng bang maging 5 hours muna ang one hour?" tumawa siya at tinulungan akong suotin ang travel bag.

"Do you want to hike down for 20 hours?" napangiwi ako at umiling. Ayoko na palang gawing five hours ang one hour.

Nagsimula na kaming maghike pababa ni Paesyn nang tuluyang maayos ang mga dalang gamit. It's harder to climb down, I feel like I'm going to lose my balance when we're passing on a steep trail. The carbon hiking poles were a big help.

Nadaanan ulit namin ang river nang dalawang oras na kaming naghahike pababa. I told Paesyn to stop so we placed our bags on top of the massive rocks.

"Let's take a dip!" I suggested. I badly need to be soaked with water.

"Go ahead." aniya lang at tumango.

"Doon ako sa malayo, I will strip all my clothes!" his forehead creased but I already ran away and waved at him.

Mabilis kong tinanggal ang suot na mga damit, I only left my panties on. Lumusong na ako habang yakap ang sarili dahil malamig ang tubig. Inilubog ko na ang sarili at lumangoy-langoy. It feels good to wash away the sweats and dirts on my body.

Ilang minuto pa ay nakita kong lumusong na rin si Paesyn sa may hindi kalayuan. Sayang, hindi ako pwedeng lumapit sakaniya. I'm almost naked.

I just enjoyed the water and the surroundings. Kami lang ni Paesyn ang nandito. Nagbabad kami sa tubig nang halos kalahating oras.

Nang aahon na sana ako ay tsaka ko narealize na hindi naman ako nakakuha ng pamalit na damit sa bag ko, I just immediately ran and strip naked because of excitement. Alanganin kong tinanaw si Paesyn na nagbibihis na, his bare back is on me.

Should I call him?

I waited until he finished fixing himself. Nang lingunin niya ako ay awkward akong ngumiti sakaniya.

"I forgot to bring new set of clothes!" napailing siya at hinalungkat ang bag ko para kumuha ng damit. I stayed on the water until he went in where I am. Inilapag niya ang mga damit at towel sa bato kung nasaan din ang hinubad ko kanina. I feel embarrassed when I saw that he also got my undergarments.

"Here, magbihis ka na. Change behind that tree." turo niya sa isang malaking puno malapit samin. He picked my dirty clothes, stood up and walked away when I nodded.
