Keslow's resort in Palawan is actually really beautiful. Malaki ang nagastos niya dahil sa location nito, pero sobrang nakaka-relax na alam kong mababawi din niya agad 'yun. The interior of the hotel was bare, at ginagawa padin ang final touches ng ibang rooms. There were a lot of rooms in the 20-floor high building. Puno na ata ang camera ko sa kaka-take ng pictures.

"I wanted something with a hint of romance for the suites in floor eighteen," saad ni Keslow. Nasa isang restaurant kami ngayon at pinag-uusapan kung ano'ng gusto niyang designs ng mga room at kung magkano ang budget ko. So far, maganda naman ang visions niya for his resort and I can't help but feel a little happy that he listened to me back then, when I would ramble about good designs.

"So gagawin mo silang honeymoon suites, then?" tanong ko at nagsimulang mag-sketch sa pad ko.

"Yes. Eighteenth and nineteenth floor can be honeymoon suites. 'Yung seventeenth naman ang para sa mga negosyante."

I raised a brow. "How about the top floor?"

"It's my penthouse," sagot niya.

Tinignan ko ulit siya. "You're staying here? For good?"

Huminga siya ng malalim tapos ay tumango. "Wala na akong dahilan para manatili sa Manila, Jas." Tumingin siya sa'kin at pilit na ngumiti. "Besides, seeing you happy makes me happy. But seeing you happy with another man... Well, it breaks my heart."

"Keslow," banta ko.

He chuckled. "Hey, you asked."

I rolled my eyes. "So, about that penthouse?"

Erella: he wants to introduce me to Rhianne Andres!!!!

Ariel: That's a good thing!! OMG im a fan of hers. Autograph ko!

Jasmine: You're really serious with him??

Erella: Yes :)

Belle: Are we gonna plan our next full wedding??

Jasmine: Gaga. Hindi pa nga tapos 'tong una.

Belle: Nagbibiro lang po!

Ariel: HAHAHAHA! But seriously, autograph please :)

Erella: Ariel, shut up and go to work. Your table is filled with folders.

Ariel: Sad :(

Napailing nalang ako sa kabaliwan ng mga kaibigan ko at pinatay ko na ang phone ko. I'm on my way home now after a delayed flight. Lintek na ulan, kung kailan naman nagmamadali akong umuwi tsaka pa bumuhos. I haven't seen my dad in two days and that makes me worry. Nakaka-usap ko naman si Violet pero iba padin kapag ako mismo ang nakakakitang okay lang siya. And also Derick. I can't believe I'm gonna say this but I actually miss that twerp. Guess love makes you cheesy talaga.

"Ma'am, andito na po tayo," sabi ng taxi driver at binayaran ko nalang siya ng limang daan at lumabas na.

It's 7PM so the house is fairly quiet. Pumasok nalang ako gamit ng susi ko at agad akong dumiretso sa kwarto ko. I instantly went straight to my bathroom and I almost shrieked when I saw Derick there, standing naked under the water.
