Our Last Voyage Ch. 4

Chapter 4

My phone alarm rings, the pounding of the alarm wakens me as I reach for the snooze option. It's 7 o'clock in the morning and it is time for my daily routine. My routine consists of exercise. The second alarm goes off after five minutes and I get up and hit dismiss. I pull out my exercise mat and my 15 pound dumbbells and I begin. Today's going to be a long day I thought.

My sweat drips on the floor as I finish my last pushup. I pickup my water bottle on my desk and chug it all down. I put it down and stretch leaving the sound of a large moan. My whole body was sore and I rest on my bed. The time is 8 am. I bet I could use a shower..

I open my drawer and I take out a pair of shorts and a Pikachu t-shirt and my towel. I leave my room and I head towards the bathroom.

"good morning anak!" my mom says as she see's me.

"good morning." I replied.

I head inside the bathroom and turn the vent on. I begin stripping and start turning on the shower. I couldn't recall the time that Emily's ex-boyfriend beat the shit out of me. It's as if I skipped time and just fast forwarded. Why is that ex even stalking her? What the hell does he want. He's a freak, no one follows their ex on a vacation trip. Something has to be done. But I promised Emily that I wouldn't have any contact with him so what could I do? I turn the shower off and I dry myself with my wolverine towel and put on my clothes. I put my clothes in the laundry bin.

I walk towards the kitchen to find my two parents eating rice with spam and egg. Typical Filipino breakfast. My dad gives me a bright smile that it just frightens me.

"Hey Emily's dad gave me a call and said we were having dinner at their place tonight." my dad says to me. He seemed so happy to tell me that.

"Alright." I said.

I reach into the cabinet to get my plate, spoon, and fork. I grab breakfast and a coffee.

"I expect that you wear something nice and presentable." My mom says.

"No I'll just wear speedo and a pair of chinelas.." I said jokingly.

My mom gives me a smirk and says, "Don't push it," she then whispers "remember what happened?", I give my mom the look telling her through my eyes, PLEASE DON'T BRING IT UP. She still remembers that time when Emily came into my room. We weren't even doing anything, she just assumes that we were going to do it. do it. do it meaning having intercourse.

I finish my breakfast and coffee and put it in the sink, I wash my dishes.

"Where are you going today?" My dad asks.

"I'm going to go hang out with Emily I guess, do whatever there is around here."

"I heard of a dance competition down by the lobby. You should check it out."

"That sounds cool, alright. Well I'm going to go see what Emily is up to."

I walk into my room to get my keys, wallet, phone, and shades. I open up my phone and text Emily.

Hey, what's up?

Nothing much, just watching some anime on my laptop. You?

Just getting ready to go out.

Hey my mom is asking me to invite you over for some coffee.

Despite that I already had coffee I just couldn't refuse.

Yeah, I'll be there in a few.

Alright.

I put my phone in my pocket and put on my socks. I head towards the door to put my shoes on and I leave my place. I walk across the swimming pool dock and I see Jerimiah from yesterday. He walks up to me with a black and red boom box in his hand.
