"I can't believe poppy would go to that extent, Yanks." Anthonio says as he sat against Yankee's bed board, hearing the story about poppy at the plantation from Yankee, who sat on the chair far across from him."Yeah, still think she's hot and sexy?"
"Yeah,"he replies absentmindedly.
"she's hot either ways. Hey wanted to tell you, I'll be leaving for Hong Kong. Isabel is back.""Uuww...." Yankee makes a face " somebody misses some smooching"
"God, Yankee! Stop embarrassing me, okay?"
"That's exactly how you make me feel most of my life bro. I think you're blushing! Are you seriously blushing?!!" he teased, amidst laughter.
"Ok! Fine! I miss her, like.....hell! I want her right now."
"It's a good thing though. I'm sure she misses you just as much."
"Yeah," he smiles sweetly like a teenager in love. "I'm thinking of taking the next flight. That'll be Thursday"
"Okay then."
"When are coming back for work? Forgotten about that?"
"I don't know, man, “he rubs his hand across his face. "I'm beginning to like Mexico." he says.
Anthonio laughs on and said " I get where you're going, Yanks. Totally get it."
Yankee realizing where he's pointing at quickly protests. Don't start, Anthonio!"
"Marina," he said anyways" she's what you like not Mexico."
"God, Tony! Give me a break!"
"Okay, okay. Speaking of which, I saw her yesterday in town on a delivery."
"Really?"
"Yeah and she tells me you been seeing her at the plantation without you even telling me, Yankee!"
"So what man? We only hang out"
"Did you kiss her yet?" he asks.
"Tony!!!"
"Oh, tongue slip. I do think she likes you though."
"Jeez....,"Yankee rolls his eyes.
"I'd really love her to tell me that."
"Honestly. But there was this creep man at the dinner hitting on her but I warned him to stay off my best friend's girlfriend!"
"You said that? “rolling his eyes.
"yes. Yanks," He replied proudly. "I told you I always got your back."
"God, Tony." He face palms. “you always embarrass me don't you? isn't there a flight to Hong Kong tomorrow?"
"Nope, "he shakes his head.
"Infact, I'm praying there's a storm on Thursday so I don't have to go."
"But Isabel is sprawled on your bed waiting for you. “he smirks at him.
"God! Don't say that!"
Yankee laughs.
Yankee finds himself walking back to the plantation the following day. Seeing that Marina was usually at the end of the plantation field, Yankee knew where to find her. Walking behind the trees where the sea was heard hitting ashore, he sights Marina at a tree and a smile creeps on his lips immediately.
She was clad in a yellow top and faded blue jeans, her hair a ponytail. Something about this girl always mesmerized him. He walks slowly behind her as she continued to pick the coconut absentmindedly.
