Sunset

Chapter 3

Late na nagising si Leila. Pagkatapos kasi nilang magdinner ni Troy ay umupo pa ang dalawa sa isang cottage doon at patuloy na nag-usap. Hindi maalala na ni Leila kung ano nga ba ng pinag-usapan nila. Halos 11:00 pm na ng ihatid siya ni Troy pabalik sa kanyang Villa.

Nagbihis si Leila para mag jogging sa tabing dagat. Routine na leila ang magjog every morning to start of her day. Pero bago pa siya nakaalis ay nakita nito na papalapit si Troy sa kanya.

She turned to face him while he was still walking towards him." Good morning! Ang aga mo yata?"bati agad ni Leila.

"Hi! Good morning,"nakangiting sagot ni Troy." I was hoping that I could catch you and see if I can jog with you."

She looked at him suprised." How do you know that I jog every morning? ........ never mind, dont answer that......."sabi ni Leila." You and your spies" she added laughing

Troy was just smiling at her until he was in front of her." Can I jog with you then?" tanong uli nito.

"Of course! I would love the company"napangiting sagot ni Leila." Com on, let's go."

Nagsimula silang magjog sa beach. Seryosong nagjog ang dalawa. Hindi sila nag uusap and just jog side by side. Paminsan minsang nag uusap but short comments lang. Naka 3 miles din sila ng takbo before they decided to stop. Nang huminto sila ay dumiretso sila sa isang picnic table sa harap ng villa ni Leila where she left he jug of water with her towel at naupo.

She took the water jug and sipped then handed it Troy so he could drink. He took the water jug from her and drink it as well.

"That was a good run,"sabi ni Leila na pawis na pawis wiping her face the face towel.

"Yes, it was," sang ayon ni Troy na nakaupo sa tabi ni Leila, pawis na pawis din. "Want to swim?"

"Maybe later.Pahinga muna tayo ng konti. Why? Wala ka bang pasok ngayon?"tanong ni Leila and glance at him.

Troy shook his head. "It's my day off so I get to spend it with you,"sabi ni Troy. "And we will do what you want to do today. Your wish is my command."

Napangiti si Leila."Really! Thank you for that generous offer. I will take advantage of that," she said lauhging." Well.......can we jet ski and do kayaking today?"

Napangiti si Troy. "You make my heart sing Bells," sabi ni Troy."That is exactly what I was going to suggest. You beat me to it."

She laughed "But first, let get breakfast, change for the beach.......not necessarily in that order." dagdag ni Troy.

Tumayo si Leila at hinila si Troy patayo."Let's go then,'

Pumunta muna sila sa clubhouse and ordered breakfast. Nag order sila ng scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and orange juice. "One of these days, I will cook you a breakfast," sabi ni Troy.

Napatigil si Leila ng pagsubo."You cook?"

"You sound surprise,"sabi ni Troy." Of course I do"

Napangiti si Leila."Wow ! I am impressed! You are full of surprises Troy........I mean Jake,"sabi ni Leila." I'll look forward to that breakfast in the future then."

"Fair warning, once you ate the breakfast I cook, you will surely fall in love with me,"confident na sabi nito sabay inom ng orange juice niya.

"Really! That good, huh!" sabi ni Leila na kunyarin ay nag-iisip then......" Hmmmm......... I'll take a chance."

"Don't say I didn't warn you" sabi pa nito sabay wink kay leila na tinawanan lang nito.

Pagkatapos nilang magbreakfast ay nagkanya kanyang uwi na sila para magpalit for the beach. Naligo si Leila kahit alam niya na mababasa din naman siya sa beach. Nagsuot siya ng black two-piece na dala dala niya. Makikita ang magandang katawan nito. Medyo may pagka skimpy ang bikini niya kaya't nagsuot ito ng cover up.

Pagkalipas ng ilang minuto ay may kumatok na sa pinto. Binuksan ni Leila. Si Troy na nakaswim shorts at at white shirt na hapit na hapit sa katawan niya. Napansin agad ni Leila ang matipunong katawan nito. Taylor na taylor ang katawan.

Shit! Ang sarap yakapin ni Jake......Troy. Crap! Ano bang itong inisiip ko, sabay na napangiti ito. She shook her head. Bad Leila, saway niya sa sarili.

" What are you smiling about?"tanong ni Troy ng napansin itong nakangiti.

"Oh nothing, I just remembered something."biglang iwas na sagot ni Leila."Let's go?"

"I probably need to leave my shirt here and you can't wear a cover up. It might get caught in the jet ski,"sabi ni Troy na pumasok na sa loob ng villa.

Umupo ito sa couch and started digging sa dala niyang bag. Kinuha nito ang sunscreen."We need to put the sunscreen now before we hit the beach"sabi niya. Binigay niya ang sunscreen kay Leila.Hindi pa tinatanggal ni Leila ang cover up niya. Nagsimula itong lagyan ang kamay at legs niya pati na rin ang katawan niya.

Troy glanced at her."Want me to put some in your back and shoulder?"offer ni Troy.

"Okay"sagot ni Leila without hesitation and handed the sunscreen to him.

Troy looked at her . "Bells, You need to take your cover up first so i can put the sunscreen,"sabi ni Troy." Or do you want me to take it off."

She blushed and Napatawa si Leila. " Oh yeah.....your're right," sabi nito na tumatawa. " And no, I can take this off on my own."Tumayo si Leila at hinubad ang cover up niya.

"Shit!"

.Nagulat si Leila."What?'biglang tanong ni Leila looking worried na naharap sa kay Troy." What's wrong?"

"Sorry, I meant to say Wow,"sabi pa and atraing at her,"Just .....Wow!!! You sure you want to jet ski and not just stay here? I mean, we can just talk here...bonding......in your swimsuit" nakangiting dagdag ni Troy.

Binato siya ni Leila ng throw pillow habang tawa ng tawa ito." Kala ko kung ano na,"sabi ni Leila.

He picked up the throw pillow on the floor and put it back in the couch."Okay, okay. Sit, so I can rub suncscreen in your back."utos ni Troy.

Umupo nga si Leila. Nagsimula siyang lagyan ng sunscreen lotion ni Troy. Kung anong init ang nararamdaman niya sa bawat haplos ng kamay ni Troy. Feeling niya parang caress on her back. So gentle, so arousing. 'What are you doing? And what are you thinking?' she reprimanded herself.

She could remember how long Troy was putting it on her until he heard him say, " I can do this all day,"sabi ni Troy ." You need me to put some in your chest, or belly or........"

"Pervert."sabi ni Leila na pilit binato sa likod niya ang throw pillow habang tawa ng tawa si Troy."That's enough. Akala ko pa naman you were just being thorough."

" I am being thorough," he teased her.

Tumatawa pa rin si Troy na hinubad ang t-shirt niya at nagsimulang maglagay ng sunscreen. Pinapanood siya ni Leila. "You really do look like Taylor. Face and body. This is like watching a live movie or something,"sabi ni Leila." Can take a video of you doing that?" biro nito.

"Now who is the pervert?"sabi ni Troy sa tumatawang Leila. Siya naman ito ngayon ang nagbato ng throw pillow sa tumakbong Leila. " You can at least help me put some sunscreen in my back."

Lumapit si Leila sa kay Troy at kinuha ang sunscreen." I was thinking of making a business. Taking a video of you and selling it to girls," biro pa ni Leila. Tumawa lang si Troy.

Sinimulan niyang lagyan ito sa shoulders and back. Hindi halos maka concentrate si Leila sa ginagawa nya. It was so good rubbing it in his shoulder and bac.Hindi niya maintindihan ang nararamdaman niya. Binilisan niya ito.

"All done," sabi niya.Ibinaba niya ang sunscreen." You need me to put some in your chest ....or your abs......" biro rin nito.

And Troy tried to grab her by she was quick to move out of his reach laughing." Come on, let's go slowpoke." sabi ni Leila.

"Okay, okay,"sagot ni Troy sa kanya. "I'll leave my bags here,"sabi ni Troy.

"Sure, you are welcome to,"sagot ni Leila na nasa labas na ng bahay
