Boracay (1)

It was already late in the afternoon when they all got back to their hotel. The rooms in the hotel they were staying at are quite small for the five of them so they got two connecting rooms instead.

"Haay, kapagood" Jill  exhaustingly laid on the bed while Tricia hurriedly tugged on her shirt.

"Jill, pwesto ko 'yan"

"Halaa ako 'yung nauna ah"

"Sino ba naunang pinanganak?"

Jill felt overpowered so she went up and knocked on the door connecting their room to their parents'

Leni was so indulged with the view from their balcony that she didn't notice his presence until he spoon hugged her from behind. His arms crossed just under her bust.

"Ang ganda dito, pa. Siguro maganda din view dito pag umaga, may sunrise."

She noticed he wasn't responding so she looked at him – whose already looking at her.

"Oh?"

"Mas maganda ka pa sa sunrise, ma" Jesse whispered as he tucked the loose strand of hair at the back of her ear.

Aaahh. Years of being together and he still knows how to perfectly tickle those little butterflies in her stomach.

"Aysus. Anong kailangan?"

She was wearing her pink upper piece swim suite layering it with a pink spaghetti strap top.

He tightened his embrace – tight enough to cause bulging on her bust and through her peripheral, she saw him looking directly at it.

"Ang sexy naman"

"Pa, ang mata" and they both giggled.

Jesse pressed his face on the crook of her neck slightly smelling it and murmured

"Siguro malamig dito pag gabi, 'no"

"Oo nga.." Leni replied while trying to suppress her laughter. She knows what exactly he's trying to say.

They stayed like that, appreciating the view in front of them. Their balcony isn't openly visible from the outside because its covered by huge coconut trees and palm trees at both sides.

While they were swaying under the shadows of the tree leaves reflected by the sun and the faint music from afar, she felt his left hand caressing her hips. She let him be, noticing how he slowly extends his hands from her hips to the side of her bum whilst hugging her tighter with his other arm under her bust.

Between the both of them, she has always been the one whose a little restrained with public display of affection. But this one's different. The breeze is romantic and the mood is different even if its noon.

She closed her eyes feeling his hands slowly caress her in parts where she longed them – her lower bust, the length of her arms and the curve of her waist. They were both so wallowed with the fire slowly igniting within them when they heard a knock on their connecting door. They jolted.

"Ma.." Jillian's voice can be heard from the other side.

"Pa.." She continued when no one responded as both was still fixing themselves up.

Jesse opened the door and Jill went straight inside.

"Si ate Trish, inagawan ako ng pwesto sa bed." She hurried to her mom trying to restrain her tears.

Leni took a peak inside the other room with Jillian in her arms, and Jess still holding the knob of the door.

"Pat, anong nangyari?" Jess asked

"Pa, hindi ako makatulog sa gitna or sa left side. Dito ako sa may wall."

"Ma, ako yung nauna dyan eh" Jillian rebutted.

"San ate Aika nyo?"

"Pa, naliligo po" Aika said from the bathroom.

"Maaaaa" Jill tightened her embrace on Leni while holding her tears and wiggling her knees.

"Ate?" Leni said trying to pursue Tricia.

"Ma, hindi talaga ako makakatulog. Always ako sa side ng wall. Gusto lang nyan dito kasi may bintana."

Torn with the situation, Leni surrendered.

"Sige na Jill tabi ka na saamin ni papa."

"Ha??" Jess quickly reacted.

Pambihira He thought and added

"Eh iusog ko nalang 'yang kama nyo sa gitna. Para fair."

"Papaaaa noo. Doon nalang sainyo si Jill please" Tricia exclaimed

"Oo nga papa may balcony pala dito for selfies!" Jill excitingly said wiping her glassy eyes as if forgetting her previous emotion.

Jesse scratched his head and looked at Leni after closing the door.

"Ma naman..."

Leni giggled

"Bakit?"

Jess just scratched his head again

"Ma! mag selfie tayo dito ganda ng lighting"
