Her Romeo Has a Gun

13 | Kiss

Nothing special happened after that.

Pagkabalik namin sa party, umalis ulit si Knox dahil kailangan daw siya ni Luis. I stayed in the same table again but this time may kasama na ko. Pinabantayan ako ni Knox sa isang tauhan niya. Walang lumapit para kausapin ako which is fine by me.

We were both tired when we got back to our designated room. I immediately took a shower and put on a simple shorts and tank top. Pagkalabas ko sa bathroom, ganun parin ang ayos ni Knox. He just told me to rest tapos ay lumabas ulit and locked the door on his way out.

Nakatulog agad ako dahil narin siguro sa pagod, but I woke up in the middle of the night with him cuddling me.

Today, I woke up feeling energized.

But my mood dropped nung pumasok ako sa bathroom at humarap sa salamin. I have a huge hickey on my neck! Bakit di ko 'to napansin kagabi?

"Knox!" Sigaw ko habang pabalik sa kwarto.

I found him sitting on the sofa while typing on his laptop. "What?"

"What's this?" I angrily pointed at my neck.

"A hickey?" He answered while looking at me stupidly. Mas lalong kumulo ang dugo ko.

"I know this is a hickey, you jerk! Did you plan to do this last night?"

He scoffed and went back to typing.

"You wanted that as much as I do. Tsaka lalaki lang ako, Paige. You tempted me. It's your fault." He said coolly.

Pakiramdam ko biglang umakyat ang ang dugo ko sa ulo ko. Help me lord, baka anong magawa ko sa lalaking 'to!

"So sinasabi mong nilandi kita kagabi?" My eyebrows were twitching.

"Bakit hindi ba? You even moaned my name." He smirked. "Shit, Knox..ohhh." He exaggerated using a girly voice.

I blushed.

"You're so infuriating! You freakin' stupid asshole!"

Di ko na napigilan ang sarili ko, I kicked him in the shin.

"Aww fvck! The hell?!" Namilipit siya sa sakit. Buti nga sa kanya.

Bumalik ako sa bathroom and tried concealing the hickey with make up. Buti nalang gumana.

Knox glared at me pagkabalik ko, I glared back.

Nauna akong lumabas sa kanya, nakasunod lang siya sa likod ko.

Tahimik kaming kumain sa parang morning buffet na provided nitong cruise. There are lots of foods and I was so full after kaya nagyaya akong maglakad-lakad kami sa top deck.

Mas maganda ang view dito pag umaga, now I clearly see the water below and the islands around us.

"Malapit na tayo sa Puerto Galera, dun yung first stop nito. Gusto mong bumaba para mamasyal?"

Nagulat ako nung nagsalita siya, I guess we're back to normal.

I've been there before but I wanna see it again kaya tumango ako sa kanya.

"Okay."

Before maglunch time, bumalik kami sa kwarto para mag-ayos. I wore the rash guard I bought and paired it with beach shorts. Then I put my sunblock and sunglasses in my sling bag.

Pagkalabas namin, may mga nagsisibabaan na. Excited kong hinila si Knox pero napahinto siya dahil sa biglang pagtunog ng cellphone niya.

He excused himself and answered the call. Lumayo pa siya ng konti sa akin. Ilang saglit lang bumalik siya ng nakakunot ang noo.
