The following morning, the moment that I opened my eyes I already knew what was going to happen. Alam kong makakalimutan na naman ni bata ang nangyari so yeah, I'll act that nothing happened then. Simple.
Kung nagising ako kahapon na may note sa noo, ngayon sa talampakan na naman eto nilagay ng bata. Urgh.
"At the beach."
Pagkatapos ng morning routine ko ay dumiretso na ako sa dagat. Gusto ko ng mag breakfast, nagugutom na ako. Tss.
Nadatnan ko si Kat at Addie na kasalukuyang naglalaro sa gitna ng dagat. It seems that they did not notice me so umupo nalang ako under the shadow of a tree and watched them, naglalandian. I rolled my eyes heavenwards, good thing I wore my shades.
Konti nalang at mako-confirm ko na hindi lang sila mag best friends. Duh, sino ba ang maniniwalang mag best friends "lang" sila? Kita mo naman ang pagiging maharot nila sa isa't isa.
Hindi ko maiwasan sumimangot. Naiinis pa rin ako. Ugh.
"Agang aga badtrip mukha natin ah?" Tulad kagabi, biglang lumitaw si lodi sa tabi ko.
Humaygash. She's here again! And she's fresh! Samantalang ako simplemg hilamos at toothbrush lang ang ginawa, not even sure if mabango ako unlike her na pipikit ka sa amoy niya. Vanilla, so sweet.
"Good morning." Dagdag niya. "Have you taken your breakfast na ba?"
"Not yet. Gutom na nga ako eh."
"Do you want to eat with me?" She asked with a big smile, "I mean tayo at si Jenna. She's still preparing and suffering sa alam mo na, hang over."
"Ahm." Gustong gusto ko kumain together with her but paano si bata and Addie? Sasabihin ko na sana ang rason when just in a snap, ang babaeng nasa ilalim ng dagat kanina ay nasa harapan ko na.
"Good morning. What are you two doing?" Interrupt ni Kat. Like seriously? Wala ba siyang ibang tanong?
"I'm trying to invite her to eat with us for breakfast. She said that she's hungry." Chill na sagot ni lodi.
"She'll eat with me and with a friend." I rolled my eyes again, secretly, sa narinig. With a friend her face.
Addie is walking towards us. "Hi, good morning." She greeted us with her sweetest smile. "I'm really in love with the beach here. No regrets!" We all smiled as we agreed to her comment. "But first kumain na tayo ng breakfast." Nang narealize niya ang presence ni lodi ay medyo nagulat siya. "H-hi pala sayo? Hehehe."
Lodi chuckled, "Lila."
Ah, so she's Lila who smells like vanilla.
"Addie!"
Lila aka lodi nodded, and looked at Kat as if she's waiting for her to say something.
"Kat." This kid has really an attitude talaga. Their first encounter last night wasn't good, pati ba naman sa pag i-introduce ng sarili walang ka emosyon-emosyon? Gosh.
After her, sa akin naman tumingin si lodi at ngumiti.
Ngiting nakakamatay. Shetness overload. Umagang umaga ganito na agad ang biyaya. Thanks G!
Magsasalita na sana ako nang umepal na naman ang bata. "She's Kisses. As what I've said last night, she is the girlfriend of my brother." This time aside from putting emphasis to that word, talagang dahan-dahan pa niya etong binigkas.
Wait.
Shit.
She remembered?!?
Naaalala pa niya ang nangyari prior to the kiss so... fvck.
