Envie de Toi

Je Le Veux

Marina and Dada were lounging on the balcony of their room, stretched out on a hammock. It was their last night on the island and they were soaking in its beauty. The cool breeze gently fanned their faces. Marina, who was lying on Dada's chest, sighed contentedly. She wished they could stay like this forever. They have spent the whole day just lazing around. The Camp Summers went out with Eva and Choriza to purchase pasalubong. Marina and Dada decided to just stay in and enjoy the last couple of hours that they could be alone together.

Dada gazed softly at Marina, stroking her hair. He was content to stay like this forever if it meant being in the same space as the greatest love of his life. 

They were shaken from their reverie when Marina's phone rang. It was Eva asking her if she and Dada would join them for dinner. Marina turned to Dada asking him for his opinion. Dada shrugged. Marina asked Eva to text her the time and location and ended the call so she could get ready. 

Marina started to get up so she could get ready but Dada held her tightly in his arms. 

"Dada, we have to get ready!" she said laughing at him and swatting his arms away playfully.

"Just 10 more minutes Mon Chou." Dada said closing his eyes and tucking her head under his chin. Marina snuggled in happily and squeezed his waist in return.

After a while, Dada playfully tapped Marina's butt to get her to move so they could get ready. "Has it been 10 minutes already?" Marina asked stretching her arms and getting up. Dada ushered her inside to take a shower while he prepared his outfit. "No, but Eva will have my hide if we don't get a move soon."

Eva called again to let them know that they had just gotten to the restaurant and were waiting to be seated by the hostess. Marina quickly applied her lip balm to finish her look. She had chosen to wear a pair of cream wide-leg pants that had pleats adorning one side. It was tied to the side with a long ribbon. She paired the pants with a crop top of the same color and since they would be dining by the sea, she opted to wear a cream-colored oversized polo for cover-up just in case it gets chilly during the night. She completed the look with a pair of pristine white sandals and a woven clutch bag. 

When she turned to look at Dada who had just finished getting ready, she couldn't help but gush at how handsome he looked. He was wearing a pair of khaki chinos paired with a coffee-colored linen button-down shirt, which he wore with the sleeves rolled up. He also wore a pair of brown leather sandals to complete the look.

They went out and asked the hotel for a ride to the restaurant. 

When they got there, Eva was sitting alone at the table.

"Where are the others?" Marina asked as she greeted Eva with a kiss on her cheek.

"They went outside, I think one of them spotted Nadine Lustre and wanted to get their picture taken with her. Hinihintay ko lang na may mag open up na table sa labas kasi mas maganda ang view dun"

Dada excused himself to go to the comfort rooms while Marina settled down and chatted with Eva. After a few minutes, a waiter approached them to let them know that an outside table had just been opened and inquired if they'd like to move. Eva and Marina happily agreed looking forward to taking aesthetic photos for the gram. 

As they stepped on the balcony outside, the waiter guided them towards the steps by the side leading to the beach. Eva and Marina grinned at the sight. The whole place was lit by thousands of fairy lights. There were several diners as well already occupying the other tables. As they walked down the path, they heard faint music serenading the diners. Eva took out her phone to take photos and videos that she could upload later.

Upon drawing closer, Marina noticed that a live quartet was playing the music beside a makeshift stage with a solihiya backdrop adorned with flowers and more fairy lights.
