Be That Guy

Chapter 11: Beach Out

Nagising ako ng may ngiti sa aking mga labi. I felt like my sleep was enough to make this day beautiful. I went to the bath and prepared for our hangout later. My hangout with Nathan. And I guess it would be fun if Pao and Ysa would be there.

I got my phone after my long hygienic routines. I dialed Ysa's number. After a few rings, she answered the phone.

"Hello." she answered in her sleepy voice

"Hey. Wanna go hangout? Meet me here at 10 am. Bring Pao with you. We will go at Nathan's beach house." I said joyfully.

"Nathan? Sino yun?" sinabi niya habang humihikab.

"My new friend. I'll just introduced you to him later. Don't be late, Ysa. Bye." then I hunged up the phone.

I headed to our dining room. It's already 8:30 in the morning. I bet I am the only one who would eat breakfast today. But fortunately, I saw dad on the table with a guy. And who is he? Hmmmm.

"Good Morning Dad." I greeted.

"Good Morning, anak." and he smiled at me. "Nakilala ko na pala ang kaibigan mo. Anak pala siya ng barkada namin ng daddy ni Andrew. So I've got nothing to worry."

I seated in front of Nathan. Nandito na pala siya. Ang aga naman ata niya. Ten pa ang usapan namin. Ngumiti lang siya sa akin at tumango.

"Yeah, Dad. And even if he's a dangerous guy, I don't care. Hindi niya ako kaya." I smirked at my dad. I know he already knew about me being fearless and a total bully. And most especially MALDITA. Lagi kaya akong may inaaway na anak ng business partners niya na nakakadate ko at sinusumbong kay dad. So I guess he knows that his daughter is a dumbass.

I placed some bacon strips on my plate and a pan cake. Kumain lang ako ng kumain habang nagdadakdak si Dad. Kesyo daw di lahat ng lalaki papabayaan akong ganun-ganunin sila. Iba-iba daw ang mga lalaki. Tapos wala daw magkakagusto sa akin. I didn't want them to accept the fake me. Yung pakitang-tao ko. No-oh. No. I want someone to accept me for who I really am.

"At bakit nga ba ang aga mo? I thought our plan will be at ten. I still have two hours to prepare." I said to change the topic. Nakakasawa na kasi yung puro tungkol sa lalaki. They are the same. Most of the guys are jerk.

"Take your time. I just want to ask for your dad's permission personally. And my dad made me to talk to your dad about some business matters kaya mas maaga ako ngayon." he said in a serious tone. Yung tono ng mga businessmen. Ang makulit na Nathan pala ay nagiging seryoso. Wow. That's new.

I headed to my room and fixed my things. I put some swim suit, some shorts and shirts, a dress in case of emergency party, heels, rubber shoes, slippers, kikay kit including all those things in my hygienic routines and such. After fixing my things, I headed to my study room and logged in my facebook.

It's been a long time since I open my account. There are so many notifications, friend request and messages. It's been a year so walang nakapagtataka. A thousand and more notification.... Two thousand plus friend requests and 100 messages. Oh good gods.

I clicked the friend request icon. The latest friend request is from Monica. Next the asshole guy. I accepted it all except for that bastard. I don't want him to stalk my account. Ewww. Then I checked my profile. I still have those condolences' post. A year since my Kyle left me. A year since my heart been shattered into pieces. A year since I started to let my heart die with Andrew.

I clicked my display image. The picture of the both of us. It was taken on our first aniversary. A perfect moment that's the only last memory that I will keep. I'm in his arms while sitting on his lap. Too obvious in our eyes that we were happy and so in love.
