Chapter 3

I think I Like You

I don't know what exactly it was. It's just yesterday that I spent my whole day with Keegan exploring the island. And I had so much fun. At alam kong ganoon din si Keegan.

When evening came, we even agreed again to have dinner together. Hindi na kami sa restaurant kumain. Instead Keegan just told me to go up my hotel room first and get changed. At siya na raw ang bahala sa dinner namin. I just shrugged my shoulders then. And let him do it.

After that I went back to my hotel room and get ready for tonight's dinner. Napaisip pa ako at natigilan saglit habang nasa harap na ako ng salamin at naglalagay pa ng konting light makeup sa mukha ko. Why do I feel like I'm feeling excited right now over what? It's just dinner with someone I just know... and became a friend of mine.

I just shook the thought away and continued preparing for it. I also sprayed some of my favorite perfume. Medyo gutom na rin ako and I don't see anything wrong with just eating with another person who's also a friend... It's just a friendly meal after all...

I took my essentials like my wallet and cellphone. I put it inside a little purse with my little makeup for possible retouch later. Alangan naman na bumalik pa ako rito sa taas ng hotel room ko just to check my face if I can just bring a compact makeup with mirror with me. It's easier. 'Tsaka I can't be sure, 'no. Kung buong gabi rin ba na ayos lang ang mukha ko that I'll be confident without checking it even a little. Mahangin pa naman sa baba because we're in an island and there's the beach.

Ngumiti ako nang muli kong makita si Keegan na sinusundo na naman ako rito sa lobby ng hotel. I don't know where he stays kung dito rin ba sa hotel ng isla o sa villas din ba dito. Meron din kasing mga villas dito besides the hotel.

Keegan was looking at me. Habang lumalapit naman ako sa kaniya. I was wearing a vacation tie front split hem dress in beige. While Keegan was in the usual white notch neck top and drawstring waist shorts. Just the proper outfit for the beach. Pero kahit pa simple lang naman ang damit niya ay ang ayos pa rin niya sa mata. He looked clean and fresh.

I smiled. "Hi." And I greeted him when I was already in front of him.

He also stood tall again in front of me. I thought of wearing heels pero nasa beach naman kami. Ma-s-stuck lang sa buhangin ang takong 'pag nagkataon. And I'm not really short. Keegan's just a tall man.

And he smelled so nice, too. I noticed when I was near him enough to smell him. Hindi na lang din ako nagpahalata na medyo naamoy o inamoy ko siya.

"Let's go?" niyaya ko na siya.

And he was still looking at me. Kaya naman nang binalik ko rin ang tingin ko sa kaniya ay nagkatinginan pa kami sandali. Ngumiti na lang ako sa kaniya. And he smiled, too. After that we went to the dinner he prepared just outside and near his villa.

"Are you comfortable here? I'm sorry, I chose this place because this got a nice view of the quiet sea here at night." He said when we arrived.

Pinaghila niya rin ako ng mauupuan ko before he sat across mine.

Ngumiti lang naman ako at tumango sa kaniya. "Ayos lang." Napatingin ako sa beach view na makikita mula rito ngayong gabi. Indeed it looked calm. "And you're right that it's nice here." I said.

"It is."

And then we turned to our food that was already prepared on the table. At nagsimula na rin kaming kumain.

And I noticed that he's staying in a rather big villa. "Your villa seems quite huge for you alone." I commented. And then I put the tip of the fork in my mouth with the bite size steak that I cut for myself with the knife. Nginuya ko nang marahan ang pagkain pagkatapos.
