Love Hope In Batanes

The Storm of Feelings

Eliz pov

I woke up feeling dizzy. This headache is killing me! I groan.

"Oh hope, you're awake" it was Seph

She touch my forehead and she sighed.

"Go lay your head in the pillow. I will just heat some water..."

"...Don't complain this time!"

I nodded. I just let her take care of me because I really need some help now.

She stood up. She's still wearing nothing on her top but a sport bra. I can't help but to stare at her as she walks

I still can't believe this beautiful creature is a girl. How could that be possible? But so what if she's a girl? I shook my head dangerously

"Hey hey. Stop that, you're going to be dizzy!" I didn't noticed that seph is already here

"Seppphhhh"

"Shhh... Its ok hope. Let's just wait for the water to heat OK"

"I'm cold" I said

"Alright... Come closer" she said

She leaned in as I adjust myself

She tucked herself on the blanket and wrapped her arms on my waist.

"Seph, do you think, after this vacation, we will see each other again?" I asked

"Of course. I know we will" she kissed the side of my forehead and I can't  help but blush

"Don't think of sad things alright, just savor the moment" she said and yes! I will do that!

"Seph, do you think, its just a coincidence that we see each other here? I mean, of all the places in the world... Here we are"

She thinks for a while.

"I know everything happens for a reason"

"And what is that?"

"I still don't know as of the moment, but we will know in time"

"Then when is that?"

"Does it matters now, hope? What's important is me... And you... And what we have now"

I hugged her tighter if that's possible.

I can't help but ask,

'What is it really that we have?

What are we?'

But only in my mind.
Because I'm afraid of her answer

What if she says...

'Friends'

I don't have to ask her cuz I already know the answer as a tear fell.

"Hope... Are you crying?"

I didn't answer

So she broke the hug and hold the either side of my cheeks so I could face her.

She's so close and she's looking intently in my eyes looking for answers and I can't let that happen.
