CHAPTER 9: SPY
SORCHA'S POV
"You know, the animated movie Brave reminds me of you pero pwede rin pala ang Little Mermaid?"
Dumulas ang pagkakakapit ko sa pool handrail at walang dudang babagsak ako ulit kung walang kamay na umabot sa akin at hinila ako pataas. I found myself at the edge of the pool, with Daze holding my hand tight. Halos ramdam ko ang init ng katawan niya sa lapit namin sa isa't isa.
"Move." Nang hindi siya kumilos ay sinubukan kong hilahin ang kamay ko. I'd rather fall back on the water than be this close to him. Iyon nga lang ay hindi niya pa rin ako pinakawalan. "You're going to get wet!"
"Aww!" He batted his eyelashes at me. "I need more foreplay than this before I get we—"
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. "Daze!"
Tatawa-tawang umatras siya at dahil hawak pa rin niya ako ay nahila niya ako. When I was no longer in danger of falling, he let me go.
"It's too early for me to be this annoyed," I grumbled.
"People say that it is within our power to choose how we want things to affect us. So don't choose to be annoyed." Kinindatan niya ako at pagkatapos ay inabot niya sa akin ang tuwalya ko na ipinatong ko sa isa sa mga lounger na nandito sa pool area ng Dagger. "Piliin mong kiligin."
Nanggigigil na hinawi ko ang basang buhok ko at hinablot ko sa kaniya ang towel. Daze straightened, his eyes going to my forehead. Whatever. "May spy camera ka ba rito at parang alam na alam mo kung kailan nandito na ako sa opisina?"
Maaga akong pumasok dahil gusto kong mag-swimming. My house doesn't have one. Hot tub lang ang meron ako dahil mas pinili ko na magkaroon ng malaking garden. Kuya Nevan has one, but I don't want to break into his house. I did that before, and I happened to see his current "lady friend" walking around the house naked.
At saka mas malaki ang pool dito sa first floor ng Dagger. It also has the best view of the sunrise here in Tagaytay.
Nakatingin pa rin sa noo ko na sumagot siya. "Wala akong spy camera pero meron akong spy."
"Sino?"
"Secret."
My eyes narrowed into a slit. "Kapag nalaman ko kung sino, pagbubuhulin ko kayo parehas."
"Even if it's one of your bosses?"
Mariing tinikom ko ang mga labi ko. Alam ko na agad kung sino kahit hindi niya pa sabihin. Isumbong ko kaya sa asawa niya?
I have the numbers of the Dawson wives because they're a friendly bunch, and they gave it around so that we can call them if there's anything we need. I have a feeling, though, that it's their silent way of telling us to call them if their husbands are in trouble and we need help to straighten them out.
