Beautiful Escape

hour

I woke up with the sound of the waves crashing. I checked my phone - it's still early. 5:29 am.

I squinted and stretched my arms. Napansin kong hindi ko na katabi si Bea.

"Babe?" I propped my body up using my elbows and searched for her around the suite.

There's no Isabel Beatriz around.

I slowly stood up and checked the bathroom to no avail.

I went back to bed and reached for my phone.

*The number you have dialled is out of coverage area. Please try again later.*

"Tsss! Naka off pa yung phone!"

I stood up and fixed my hair. I faced the mirror and there's a note hanging.

*Good morning, pretty lady! In case you're wondering where am I, I'm just somewhere near- fixing some things. Don't worry about me. Go and enjoy the beach with Kuya or Mommy, and Dad. I'll be back before lunch time. I love you! PS. Last night was mind blowing. Can't wait for tonight! x, B.*

Instead of getting mad at her, napangiti nalang ako sa sulat at sa mismong sulat-kamay niya. I can't quite comprehend what she wrote but it's what makes it even cuter.

I opened the blinds and the scenic view greeted me. The breeze is salty and warm.

Inhaaaale.

Finally, beach.

I ordered room service for breakfast and while peacefully eating, I reminisced what happened last night until we got here.

"One more?" I asked her while catching my breath.

A sweaty and blushed Bea nodded and kissed me right there and then again.

It was the second time she claimed me inside my car.

And it was both our first time doing it inside a parked vehicle - we both agreed it was one of the bests we did.

"Are you done? Let's go up na?"

She was buttoning her pants outside as I was turning off the engine of the car and tying my hair in a ponytail.

We were walking towards the elevator when her phone rang.

"I'll just get this."

I nodded and pressed the elevator button.

"What?... Tonight?! Why, though?... Sige po... I'll ask her... Okay, see you... You guys take care! Love you!"

Hinintay ko siya sa loob ng elevator.

"Sino yun?"

She pressed 9 and the elevator door closed.

"Mom wants us to go na there."

Nanlaki yung mata and I immediately looked at her.
