Nasa pool si Lee at nakapatong sa balikat ni Brad habang nakikipaglaro kina Kevin, Tracy ang mga barkada nito.
They were having a fight using the noodle floatation device as weapons.
Ang unang malaglag ang talo at ang parusa ay sisisid sa ilalim ng tubig at dadaan sa pagitan ng mga hita ng kalaban.
Nang makita ako ni Tracy ay nagpababa ito sa kakampi niya.
Umangal ang mga kasama niya dahil hindi pa tapos ang laro.
Nagdahilan ito na pinulikat.
She swam to the edge of the pool and called my name.
"Sali ka, Sid."
"No. I'm okay," I looked at Lee.
She was also looking at me and Tracy.
Hindi tuloy siya nakailag ng hatawin siya sa mukha ng kalaban niya.
Pero kahit tinamaan ay hindi siya nalaglag dahil mahigpit ang hawak sa binti niya ni Hulk.
"Why don't you swim with me then?"
"Aren't you playing with them?" I pointed to the far side of the pool.
"It's boring," Sumimangot siya.
"Who's idea was it anyway?"
"Kuya Kevin."
"Of course."
Dumidiskarte iyon para makasama si Danica.
"Help me up," Inabot ni Tracy ang kamay niya.
I reached out to help her but she pulled hard until I fell on the water.
Damn.
Why did I fall for that trick?
"Gotcha," Tawa ng tawa si Tracy habang inaalis ang bangs na tumakip sa mga mata ko.
"That wasn't nice," Lumangoy ako para habulin siya.
Tracy swam away from me and she was fast but I was determined to catch her.
She dove underwater and I did the same thing.
Once I was inches away, I grabbed her foot.
I thought she was going to kick to free herself from my hold.
But Tracy turned then grab the collar of my rash guard.
She pulled me towards her then kissed my lips.
Her grip was tight but I pushed her away from me.
I swam as fast as I could.
When I rose up, Lee was standing on the edge of the pool with war written all over her face.
"Babe," Thankfully, Brad rushed to her side.
Lee looked like she was ready to murder Tracy.
"Ba't bigla kang umalis? Okay ka lang?"
"Yeah," She wrapped one arm on his waist.
Pero dahil malapad si Brad, her hand only made it halfway.
"Kain tayo. Gutom na ako eh," Sobrang sweet ng ngiti niya kay Brad.
"Okay," Inakbayan naman siya ng jowa niya.
They walked away from the pool and I watched in silence.
"We should do it again."
Hindi ko napansin na nasa tabi ko na pala si Tracy.
"No," Lumayo ako sa kanya.
"Why? Dahil ba hindi ako si Ate Lee?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Alam ko ang ginagawa ninyong dalawa. I have the video to prove it."
Kinabahan ako sa sinabi niya pero hindi ko pinahalata.
Malay ko kung nagbabluff lang siya?
But Tracy looked different somehow.
Unlike before when she was always sweet and nice, there was something malicious in her eyes.
"Are you threatening me?" I said in a calm voice.
Deep inside, I was panicking.
"You already look threatened, Sid. If I were you, I'll think of a way to protect myself from that hunk of a guy when he finds out that you and Ate Lee were fucking."
She swam away before I could refute what she said.
