Ravaged Soul
Kabanata 12: Librarian

"Do you ever see me as your cousin-in-law?" Phyllis asked.

I looked at her with my brows furrowed. Ano nanaman kayang pumapasok sa isipan niya?

"What are you talking about?"

"You have one helluva cousin. He's so gorgeous and classy and hot and ohhh," she even moaned, "What I'd give to be fucked by him."

"Phyllis ewww! Why do you even have to say that? Sa akin pa? Good lord, I don't like the idea of you.. and my... oh gosh!"

"Gaia, may girlfriend ba?" Tanong niyang muli.

Narito kami ngayon sa terrace ng hotel room ko at nandoon naman sa living room sina Kronus, Paxton at Kale, talking. We have the perfect view of them kaya tuwang-tuwa ang mga mata ni Phyllis.

"I mean, gosh, Gaia, promise ko talaga kapag naging kami, I won't jump from one man to another na, I swear, I'll even be willing to be goddamn housewife waiting for him to come home, I won't ever complain."

"You've gone hella mad, girl," I sighed.

She sighed too, "How can a man with a face and body like that exists? He looks unreal, illegal."

Hindi ko na napigilan ang matawa, "He's not a unicorn, you better stop now. But well, what can I say? It runs in the blood, I mean duh, you see me all the time."

"I've never seen any of your cousins, sa pictures lang."

"Anong hindi pa. You've met Perseus two years ago."

"Totoy naman iyon wala pa sa legal age!"

I laughed so loud and hard, "Don't you ever say that to him, isusumpa ka non!"

"Wag mo nalang iparating para if ever na kay Stavross naman ako mahumaling, hindi ko kaaway ang brother-in-law ko," she wiggled her eyebrows.

Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin. We're all dressed na at mamaya lang lalabas na kami para kumain. Today is out last day here in Santorini so we're planning to stay out until tonight. Paxton even asked if we're going to a club again and party but Kronus refused and told Kale about my 'situation' last night.

I groaned and rolled my eyes, "Hey, I can perfectly hear you talking shit about me!"

"That's not even talking shit, babe, that's literally what happened to you last night. You even puked on me!" Kronus said.

"Now I don't even feel sorry anymore."

We went inside to join them and stayed there for a bit. Around 11 am when we decided to head out for lunch. Since it's our last day here, Phyllis has been telling us to extend one or two more days but Kronus has work and Paxton simply doesn't want to extend anymore. Kale is also going back to the Philippines the day after tomorrow.

"For someone who kept on complaining about the heat, Phylls, huh? Extend pa?" Paxton said. We're all in the car na.

"Yes, it's too hot for little miss New Yorker but the view? Oh my gosh, the view! This place is a literal postcard!" Phyllis answered.

"Feeling ka, four years ka na kaya sa Boston," Paxton said.

"Boston is a cold state, too."

"We can come back here when we have a free schedule," ani ko.

"And when's that gonna be?"

"After your graduation, perhaps? I mean Gaia and Phyllis', when is your graduation Paxton?" Kronus said.
