Change Your Mind [Completed]

Chapter 18

The sound of the ocean was what woke Dahlia up. Medyo maliwanag na rin. Puti ang mga kurtina na tumatabing sa kwarto nila kaya mabilis na nakapasok ang liwanag. 

Dahan-dahang binuksan ni Dahlia ang mga mata to see herself on a huge bed facing a beachfront view na natatakpan ng see-through na puting kurtina. She can somewhat see the crystal blue waters of the beach.

It was a sight to see. Uupo sana siya para matingnan ito ng maayos ng maramdamang may mabigat na bagay sa baywang niya.

It was an arm. And it belonged to a sleeping naked Miguel.

She tried to escape his grasp pero mas lalong humigpit ang yakap nito sa baywang niya kaya napilitan siyang gisingin ito.

 "Wake up," bulong niya kay Miguel at tinapik ito ng marahan. 

His eyes fluttered open and he smiled upon seeing her. "I'm dreaming, ain't I?"

She wasn't impressed. "Hindi ka nananaginip. Unfortunately for me, too. Now, can you let go? I want to stand up and go out to see the beach."

"Oh, sorry." Miguel unwrapped himself from her and sat up.

She quickly stood as soon as he set her free. In just her bathrobe ay naglakad siya pababa ng villa nila. Miguel was just right behind her.

Binuksan niya ang front door and went out to the terrace to take in the sea breeze. "This is amazing," she whispered, mostly to herself.

Pero nandoon sa tabi niya si Miguel and was quick to hug her from behind. "I know. I wish I could wake up like this everyday."

Mabilis siyang kumawala sa yakap nito at hinarap ito. "Can you wear something? Naka-boxers ka lang. Baka makita ka ng mga empleyado mo!"

"It's fine. They're used to seeing me in my beach trunks around here anyway."

Naiinis siya sa isipin na halos hubad na itong nakikita ng ibang mga babaeng empleyado nito doon. 

"You're staring at my crotch," nakakalokong pansin ni Miguel. "Are you fantasizing about me in broad daylight, Dahl?"

She quickly lifted her gaze back to his eyes. "It's not that impressive." And she turned around to gaze at the beach again. "I want to go swimming. I'm going swimming now." At naglakad na siya palabas ng terrace to the sands.

"Wait! You don't have a swimsuit. Are you even wearing something underneath that robe?" pahabol na sigaw ni Miguel sa likod niya.

Pero hindi siya matitinag. The sand was white, the sun was up and the sea looked so inviting. She quickly removed her robe, dropped in on the sand and dipped into the water. 

"You have got to be kidding me," galit na sigaw ni Miguel ng makitang naka-panties lang siya ng lumubog sa tubig.

She swam farther away from the shore ng marinig na sumunod si Miguel sa paglusong sa tubig. But he was quick enough to chase after her under the water. Nahila nito ang kanang paa niya, pulling her towards him. 

"Ano ba!" she squealed. 

"Thank all your gods no one is around because I will fucking be a murderer kung may nakakita sayong hubad!"

"I'm not naked. I have my underwear on," pagdadahilan niya.

His arms pulled her even closer, trapping her waist with his arms around it. "You're not wearing a bra!"

"Oh cut it out. This villa is secluded just as you said. Now, leave me in peace."

"I won't. You can swim but with me."
