08 | Sierra
I settled my bag on my bed as I got inside my room. We just arrived to the resort, a couple of days ago, Tita Maricel and Tito Anthony invited me to join them together with their family and their scholars to have a beach trip.
As much I didn't want to do this, I had to, for Solana. And also, a way of saying 'thank you' for what they did. The only reason why I was hesitant to go, it is all because of Donny.
The last encounter I had with him was a few days ago—when I found out that Sunny and him are dating. It took me a while to let the information sink in but damn, I'm still suprised. At some point.
I was back to reality when I heard the knock from the door. I quickly replied that it's open, seeing Donny taking a peek from the door. I immediately straighten from my sit. "Hey."
I sounded so awkward, what the heck.
"Lunch is ready."
"Oh, okay. I'll be down in a second." I said without making an eye contact, fixing my things which are lying on my bed. Though it seems like he never left, he clears his throat.
"I can just walk with you on the way down." he's scratching the back of his neck. Without hesitations, I nodded as we walk out from my room together.
He's acting weird. Thinking that he never told me about him and Sunny, we never talked about what really happened and now, he's trying to make me walk with him for lunch.

It was the afternoon when I decided to go out from my sleep. I had the best nap ever, the much needed one.
"Donny's been keeping his eyes on you since lunch," Hannah said while smiling at me which I immediately furrowed my brows.
"I don't think so."
"Proof." ducking her head pointing someone from a far, I followed her finger seeing Donny with Benj on the chairs.
Hannah was right, his eyes are on me. Even though Benjamin is busy talking to his older brother, he seemed to be focus on gazing at me without listening to him. I looked away, not wanting to have more eye contact with him.
"Hey," a male voice interrupted my thoughts, Hannah and I looked up seeing a fine man standing in front of us. He looks like Dylan Jordan not even kidding, with his tanned skin, he's pretty attractive.
Without thinking straight, I acknowledged him. "Hi."
"My name's Jonah, I was just wondering if I can join you." he genuinely smiled at me.
"It's not a problem." I moved a little so he can sit. "Have a seat."
The three of us had a great time talking, though I couldn't help but feel intimitated by Donny's eyes on me. And yes, he's been gazing in our direction multiple times already.
We were laughing uncontrollably because of Jonah's jokes, giggling and giving each other high-fives because it was funny. Hannah decided to leave because she has to go live on Instagram which she promised to her fans.
Now, it was just me and Jonah. He keeps making me laugh with his witty jokes and telling me his life back in Florida. We also planned seeing back in the US and keeping in touch.
"I'm bringing you to Disneyland Florida if it happens." he says which made me smile.
"Oh, it will. I can never say no to Disneyland."
To my surprise, someone cleared his throat. I looked up seeing Donny, blank expression on his face.
"Sierra, time to go." he muttered. His jaw clenched.
"Woah," Jonah furrowed his brows taking his drink, "Dude, who are you to tell her what to do?"
"I'm his boyfriend." he said without regrets on his face, no traces of lies. How can he be this good at pretending? Oh yeah, I remember. He's an actor.
Jonah was shook, I'm telling you. "Is that true?" he asks, I couldn't speak. What is happening to me?
"It is. Now, can you please leave my girlfriend alone?" he grabs my wrist and took me away from Jonah. I was dumbfounded by his words.
As we walk away, questions filled my head.
Why did he do that?
Why did he pretended to be my boyfriend?
Is he just doing it because he wanted to protect me?
Did he do it because he felt something bad about Jonah's aura?
Did he do it to piss Jonah off?
Is he pissed about Jonah talking to me? ew no. I don't think so.
Or was it something more?
When I had the courage to let go, I did. I stopped from my pace and then he quickly looked at me. That's when I had found my words, "Why did you do that?"
It wasn't a long pause but I knew it was him thinking about his answer, "He's going to do something bad."
"What if he doesn't?"
"I'm a guy and he is, I know exactly how he thinks." he said.
"What does that suppose to mean?" I said in annoyance, "He's being kind and friendly. He didn't do anything wrong!"
"He wants something from you, okay?!" he raised his voice when he noticed that, he immediately sighed, "He wasn't the only one who keeps eyeing on you, they were some other guys too."
I'm in total shock.
He continues, "I couldn't just sit right there and do nothing, when there's a bunch of assholes eyeing on you. I want to protect you."
Welp, my question has been answered.
"I-I..." he stuttered, I waited for him to continue. Giving him the expression that I'm waiting for him to say anything. "I-um, you deserve to be treated well."
Okay, I pursed my lips and nodded then walking away. "Thanks, I appreciate it."
I didn't make another eye contact with him, I knew I couldn't do it. I would cry in his arms and tell him how much I love him.
But then again.
I couldn't do it, thinking that he's in love with someone else.
