Courting Hal (Belle Fille Series #1)

Kabanata 20

Kabanata 20

I woke up at the sound of laughter. Rubbing the sleep away, I opened my eyes.

Nasa harapan ko si Kuya, his phone directed on me,is he taking a photo?

Pinunasan ko ang labi ko, wala namang laway ah? Ba't sila tumatawa?

OmO!!

I slowly looked at my position.

Naka-akbay sa akin si Hal, and me! Oh my goodness gracious! Nakasandal ako sa chest nya, my arms wrapped around him.

Kaya pala!!! Shittt! At ang katabi ko tulog na tulog pa.

Ilang saglit lang he shifted, opening his one eye. Dali-dali kong tinanggal ang kamay ko sa bewang nya.

I immediately looked away bago pa nya makita ang posisyon namin.

"HAHAHAHAHA para kayong mag-syota kanina ah!" Kuya teased, showing Hal the photo.

Hal chuckled and took the phone.

"Pa-send sakin brad!" He said at kinuha ang phone nya.

I covered my face in embarrassment.

"Kuya naman!!!" I yelled at him, punching his shoulders lightly.

"Ano? Ang sweet nyo kaya" he commented at parang bakla pa na kinikilig.

I crossed my arms infront of my chest,pouting like a kid with tantrums.

"Cute oh!" Hal whispered at me, showing his phone wherein ang wallpaper nya ay yung picture namin.

PA-FALL ALLERT!!

"Che!" I pouted again but deep inside....

Shitttttt!! Kinikilig na ako!!! Whahahahahaha

Napangiti ako ng kaunti. Shemsss.

Nanahimik nalang ako hanggang makarating kami ng Morong.

Lumabas lahat kami at nagstretching, ang sakit ng pwet ko HAHAHAHA

Dumiretso na kami sa villa na nirent namin.

Mayroong 3 rooms,isang master's bedroom at dalawang guest room.

Doon kami sa isang guest room, malaki ito at mayroong dalawang double-beds.

Inilagay na namin ni Kuya ang mga gamit namin sa babang higaan since naunahan kami nila Zara at Kelly sa pagkuha ng top bed.

Magkatabi si Kuya Ulric at Kuya Rad and si Kuya Ali naman at Hal ang magkatabi.

Nag-ayos muna kami at nagpalit bago lumabas.

Lunch time na nang makarating kami so kumain muna kami. Nagpa-cater sila Daddy sa mismong villa. There are different types of food, seafood, chicken, pasta, desserts and many more.

Kumuha ako ng konting carbonara, shrimps, at cupcakes.

Umupo ako sa may table kung saan overlooking ang dagat.

Napaka-relaxing tignan, the way the waves hit the land and the calm weather looks so soothing in the eyes.

Tsaka gusto ko dito sa dulo kasi malayo kay Hal HAHAHA. Nahihiya pa rin ako hanggang ngayon.

Meron din silang pinagawang cake, it's a two-tier red velvet cake coated with a white glaze and on top is a number candle.

Nang natapos kaming kumain, we are gathered on the center for the blowing of the candle.

"Clio! Rael! Punta na kayo dito!" Dad called on us as he lights the candles.

Lumapit na agad ako because candle blowing excites me. I don't know why, maybe because I am able to make a wish or because it's  a magical moment.

"Happy birthday to you🎶
Happy Birthday to you🎶
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday🎶
Happy Birthday to you!!🎶"

We all sung together, took photos and finally our time to blow the candle.

Hawak-hawak ni Daddy ang DSLR, taking photos from time to time.

"Make a wish and blow your candle" Tita Deth announced while recording a video.

I closed my eyes and began wishing. After kong mag-wish, me and Kuya blew the candles as everyone applauded.

"Yeahheeyyy!punta na tayo sa beach!"Zara exclaimed, at pumunta na sila ni Kelly sa room namin.

Nagstay muna ako sa table beside the infinity pool. Tinatamad akong magswimming. I tried calling Gio pero unattended sya.

Geez.

Pumasok nalang ako ng kwarto para matulog. Kinuha ko ang bag ko to search for my earphones nang makapa ko ang rinegalo ni Hal.

I opened it and was mesmerized by the content. It was a necklace with a cross pendant embedded by small rubies.

Wow.

Ang ganda. I tried it on at humarap sa salamin. It looks so elegant.

I decided to wear it for a while dahil ang ganda talaga.

I smiled to myself, gently caressing the pendant. Kinikilig ako! HAHAHAHA

But I still feel empty, hindi kasi nagpaparamdam si Gio. First time ko siyang di makakasama sa birthday ko tapos diko pa sya macontact.

Lumabas nalang ako ng kwarto para tignan ang mga pinsan ko.

Nasa dagat na silang lahat, naghahabulan at nagbabasaan.

Pinagmasdan ko nalang sila. Nawawala yata si Hal? Kakakita ko palang sakanya kanina ah?

Speak of the freezer, he emerges out of the water. Parang nag-slow motion ang paligid ko as I watch him. The water is running down his body in such a cool way. And the way he combed his hair upwards looks so damn hot!

I gulped. And his ABS! Shit! Topless!Nanlaki ang mata ko. Lord help me nagkakasala na yata ako.

Iniwas ko ang tingin ko,at saktong nakita ko sila Kelly at Zara. They look so suspicious, they're walking as if they are sneaking out. Tingin sila ng tingin sa likod, kaliwa at kanan nila.

I smell something fishy.

So I decided to follow them...
