He Married the Stripper.

The Honeymooners - Three

---NARRATOR---
Emily went to dining hall alone the next day for breakfast. Alex said he'd meet her there but she didn't think he'd actually show so she ordered her breakfast. She was reading the newspaper when she noticed Alex come in. She waved to him and he in turn nodded, he was walking towards her when a red-haired girl stopped him midway and subtly gave him a piece of paper before walking away.

Emily rolled her eyes and continued reading the paper. Meanwhile Alex threw the paper away without looking at it knowing fully well what's written on it.

"Seriously?" Sabi ni Emily as he sat down in front of her.

"She's cute." Sabi niya as he looked at the menu.

"I know that. Siya yung receptionist sa spa diba?" Tumango si Alex. 

"So alam niyang mag-asawa tayo. How'd you manage to seduce her?"

"I didn't seduce her. Siyang lumapit sakin and apparently she likes being the 'other woman'" 

"Wow, maybe that's the reason she was so nice to me then. Binigyan pa niya ko ng free snacks nung nasa jacuzzi ako, I guess that was some kind of sick compensation, free snack in exhange for the 'husband'." She shook her head.

"Well at least you got something out of it." 

After telling Emily that they can share the bed last night, he proceeded to sleep on another woman's bed. Coz apparently the 'sharing' he meant was that he was done using it so she can have it to herself. Not that Emily minded anyway. 

Nasa kontrata naman din kasi nila that they can't have a physical relationship in private. They'll only be physically romantic when they need to show off to his grandfather and to anyone they need to convince about their marriage.

Pagkatapos naming kumain, mag-kasama kaming bumalik ng kwarto. Nag-shower siya ako naman tiningnan yung brochure ng resort. Trying to figure out what to do bago kami umalis mamayang hapon. 

Marami akong gustong i-try na water activities pero sa totoo lang natatakot naman akong mag-isa and as I said before nakakahiya naman kung ako lang. Lumabas ng bedroom si Alex, nakita niyang tinitingnan ko yung brochure.

"Do you plans today?" Tanong niya, umiling ako. 

"Good. I'm taking you with me. Wear a suit."

"San tayo pupunta?" 

---ALEX---
I took her to the beach where we met a woman who booked our activities for the day. I looked at Emily, her excitement showing as the woman listed off the water activities we were going to do. She looked at me, her eyes showing happiness. She actually reminds me of an overly excited puppy whose about to pee itself from happiness.

She's a little transparent when it comes to some things, I knew she wanted to try the water sports since sa tuwing may makikita kaming nagpa-parasailing or nagwa-wake boarding, she'd stop and watch them. She'd comment about how nice it might feel or how dangerous but fun it looks. 

I honestly didn't understand why she just didn't go since she's probably capable and she's actually really brave but after learning that she doesn't like doing things alone I figured I might as well do it with her. 

Payment for letting me fool around last night. Since sabi nga ni Mrs. Gracia, we need to learn to give and take.

"Ohmygod! Gagawin ba talaga natin to?" Tanong niya sakin as the instructor finished telling us the do's and don'ts of water tubing.
