Temptation

[25] problem?

i havent speak a single word to samantha after our dinner, she as well didnt say anything to start a conversation with me.

kaya ayun im here along the shore gathered around a bonfire with soju on my dominant hand.

nakaka dalawang bote na rin ako when samber and my brother joined me sitting down around the bonfire

Samber : ano? kaya mo pa ba?

Michelle: wag ka mag alala my alcohol tolerance is high.

Abe : could you pass me a bottle?

i grabbed a bottle of soju from the ice bucket and threw it at him which he caught effortlessly by the way.

Abe : thank you. so tell me whats our today's problem?

Michelle : nothing. there's no problem.

Samber : lies.

Michelle: ayaw mo ng soju?

Samber : no okay lang ako

Abe : tell us already c'monnn

michelle : okay okay. look that way.

i pointed to where my wife and that isaac guy was sitting.

Michelle : ayun ang problema ko.

Abe: so? do we make resbak na?

i laughed and finished my 2nd bottle of soju. i grabbed another bottle to open.

Samber: so ano na nga? you're just gonna look at them and do nothing?

Michelle : yeah

Abe: since when were you this weak?

Michelle: shut up bro.

i said throwing a bottle cap at his way

maureen joined us as well taking a seat beside me with marshmallows, graham crackers in hand and some skewers.

Maureen : whats with you guys? you 3 look so emo. lets make s'mores?

they grabbed the skewers and stick a few marshmallows on it then started roasting it on the bonfire.

while i continue to drink. im not really a big fan of s'mores.

Maureen: so??

Michelle : hm?

Maureen : whats with you 3?

Michelle, Samber & abe : whats with us?

we all said in unison.

Maureen : you guys faces look like yall are in some deep problem specially you.

she pointed at me

Maureen : so tell me whats wrong.

Michelle: nothinggg

Maureen : you guys are really hiding things from me now? i thought im your frienddd

Samber : you see that? ayun ang problema nya

Maureen : Ahh okay i get it i get it.

i had my 4th bottle at this point. started feeling the alcohol creep up on me. tinitigan ko ang dalawa na tumatawa pa rin.

he had this cocky smile that i hated. sarap sapakin amp.

Samber: if stares could kill, that isaac guy would've dropped dead by now.

Maureen: how could she not stare? her wife and that guy is sat alone together

Abe: exactly and my amazing sister has done nothing all night.

Samber: wag mo asarin ang ate mo. baka ma pikon yan

Michelle: hindi ako pikon

Samber: sigeeee sabi mo

i kept quite but couldnt help but stare at the two. hes sat beside her, his arm resting on her chair.

Samber: wag mo na lang kasi tignan. ayaw makinig eh

samber said then covered my eyes with her hands. at ako'y napatawa na lang sa gawain nya.

Abe: who is this guy anyway?

Maureen: well i heard from tita, your mum that he's some family friend of yours, wealthy guy, his dad owns some million dollar company. thats all i know.

Abe : wellll.

he stood up and put his hands on my shoulder massaging my shoulder blades.

Abe : my sister right here is a billionaire, beat that mr millionaire.

i felt tiredness creep up to me and it was getting late so excused myself and bid goodbyes to both ladies and my brother whom was stuffing his face with s'mores.

and when i arrived, i texted Abraham to send both girls to their own respective villas before heading back to his after they're done which he replied to, minutes later with "okay po"
-
i got out of the shower, dressed up in pajamas drying my hair in the bathroom and when i got out i see samantha sitting at the end of our bed

"did i do something?" she asked.

"no? did you?" i shoot back

"then why are you avoiding me?"

"im not"

"you clearly are, michelle" she said with a firm loud tone. ouch. my first name? not babe? or baboo? sakit. tagos puso.

"could you not raise your voice.  its late at night already."

"okay so tell me. why are you avoiding me. what is there thats bothering you"

you wanna know whats bothering me? it's just that you've been talking to a guy you just met, for hours non stop, letting him subtlety touch you. may it be your arm or hand. i dont like it. worse. you're laughing harder and more at his joke than mine. when thats my job to make you the happiest.

"nothing is"

"yeah right. could you just tell me?"

"i just dont feel well"

"whatever you say" she got in the covers having her back facing towards me. i couldnt help but sigh.

why one moment i feel like everything is perfect, but next everything is slowly falling like some domino.
