Her Romeo Has a Gun

o8 | Beach

I woke up with the feeling of someone's arm wrapped around me.

Hinanap ko kung nasan na yung unan na nakaharang sa gitna namin kagabi, but it was already on the floor.

I tried to get off the bed pero mas lalo akong niyakap nitong katabi ko.

"Knox, get off. I need to pee." sinusubukan kong tanggalin yung braso niya pero mas lalo lang akong sinubsob sa katawan niya. "Knox ano ba!"

"Five minutes." halatang antok pa siya, ang husky ng boses eh.

"Naiihi na ko!" he just grunted.

Nakakainis, buti nalang mabango 'tong lalaking to. I sniffed his chest again. Shit talaga!

"Are you sniffing me?"

"W-what? Of course not! Ang feeler neto!" he laughed. Grabe, pati tawa niya ang sexy pakinggan.

"You're so weird." sabi niya tapos ay niluwagan na ang yakap sakin.

I immediately got off the bed and went to the bathroom to pee.

When I got back, may kausap na siya sa telephone. Seems like he ordered breakfast for us.

"Sa beach tayo ngayon di ba?" excited kong tanong. He nodded.

"Go and get ready, we'll be leaving after breakfast."

True to his words, dumiretso kami ulit dun sa beach na pinuntahan namin kahapon. There were a few people milling around, I can't help but think that the weather is perfect today.

We rented a room for the day, babalik din naman kasi kami sa hotel.

"Una na ko sa bathroom ha, I'll just change." di ko na hinintay ang sagot niya.

Grabe! I'm so excited to go swim. Last year pa yata nung huli kong punta sa beach with my friends.

I changed into a black two-piece bikini. We stopped in a mall kanina para bumili ng swimwear, I just immediately picked this up in my size dahil nagandahan ako sa aztec detail nung top.

I looked at myself in the mirror, it fits perfectly. I smiled and grabbed my white sundress para pamatong. Mamaya ko nalang tatanggalin 'to pag nasa beach na ko.

"I'm done." sabi ko kay Knox pagkalabas ng bathroom. He's sitting on top of the bed while talking to someone on the phone. Busy na naman.

I shrugged and pointed outside, silently telling him that I'll go and swim. He just nodded.

I grabbed my things and went out. Huminga ako ng malalim, grabe ang sarap ng simoy ng hangin dito.

I looked around and saw a perfect place to set up. I opened the beach umbrella we bought and place it beside me. Nilatag ko rin yung towel ko and placed my wayfarer and sunblock.

Hinubad ko yung sundress ko at nilagay narin dun, then I put sunblock on.

Nagmamadali ako because I'm so excited kaya naman di ko napansin ang lalaking huminto sa harap ko.

"Hey, need help with that lotion?"

I stared at him, may itsura siya. Mukha ring genuine yung smile niya sakin.

"It's fine, I'm done anyway." I smiled and stood up.

"I see, ganda ng beach noh? First time mo dito?"

"Hmm, yeah."

"Cool, do you wanna---"

"Paige." Nagulat ako sa boses ni Knox na nasa likod ko na pala.
