*Knock knock*

Ilang minuto ko itong narinig bago ko naisipan na tumayo. Who in their right mind would disturb a guest who doesn't have plans for the day!

Late na ito nakatulog kagabi dahil sa pag iisip sa nangyari. The last time she felt like that took forever. High school pa ito nakaramdam ng ganon. But there her heart last night was fluttering so much. She even checked herself if she was sick. Masyadong kakaiba ang nararamdaman nito.

I looked at my phone and saw that it was already almost lunch time! Sobrang late na pala akong nagising.

*Knock knock*

"Saglit lang po!" Nahikab ko pang sabi bago nagtali ng buhok.

Nang buksan ko ang pintuan, bumungad sa akin ang naka ngiting Markus. Suot nito ang simpleng polo na bukas pa ang ilang buttons at khaki shorts na beige color. May dala pa itong dalawang kape.

"Good morning!" Ngiting ngiti ito na naka tingin sa kanya.

What the hell?!

She's only wearing her PJs habang ang kaharap niya ay ayos na ayos.

"G-good morning. Can you give me a minute? Saglit lang ako!" Ani ko.

"Sige. I'll just be by the patio. Take your time, okay?" Ani pa nito.

"Alright. Thanks.." Ani ko bago isinarado ang pinto.

Pagka harap ko sa salamin sa may tabi ng pinto, nakita ko ang itsura kong hinarap sa kanya. Gulo gulo ang buhok? Check! May muta? Check! Nagmamantika ang mukha? Check na check!! May maliit na trail mg panis na laway? Check na check na check!!!

Agad naman akong nag tungo sa cr para maka ligo at makapag ayos. Mabuti nalang at naayos ko na ang mga gamit ko kagabi. I won't need to worry about leaving other stuff behind. Nag dryer ako ng buhok at simpleng powder lang at pabango. Simpleng damit lang din ang sinuot ko. I at least want to redeem what I looked like earlier! Mataba na nga, nagmamantika pa. Ano? Paninindigan ang pagiging lechon?

Nang makalabas ako, nagtungo ako sa patio na tinutukoy nito. Nakita ko itong naka tungo sa isang bungkos ng bulaklak. He was smiling.

Nang mapansin ako ay ngiting ngiti itong lumapit sa akin.

"Hi again.." His dimples appeared.

"Hi." I smiled.

"How was your sleep?" Ani nito.

"Ayon.. napasarap. Ikaw?"

"Me what? Masarap? Sabi nila yummy daw ako." I immediately blushed at his answer.

What the heck?

"Kung masarap kako ung tulog mo."

"Oh.. my bad. I thought you were talking about-" he laughed.

"Ang corny mo." Natatawang tulak ko pa sa kanya.

"Alright.. sorry na. Let's eat before checking out?"

"Yeah sure."

Kumain kami sa isang resto malapit sa resort na tinutuluyan namin. Hindi na namin pinalampas Ang pagkakataon para mag seafood. Nag order ito ng maraming platter. Mula lobsters, crabs, prawns, squid, at kung ano ano pang seafood. Ang drinks naman namin ay smoothie. I had my four seasons smoothie, while his was sunset smoothie na may kulay ng sunset. I liked that creativity was used in making their smoothie names.
