My Ex, His Dad

Chapter 21

Naghalf bath si Camille. Natutulog na si Aj. Masarap kasi ang tulog nito pagkatapos maligo. Hinalikan nito ang natutulog na anak. Nandoon sa loob ng kwarto ang yaya. Nakahiga katabi ni Aj para mabantayan nito.

" Ya, tawagin mo na lang ako pag nagising ha,"sabi ni Camille at lumabas ito ng kwarto nila. Lumabas ito at nakita niyang nasa bar ng cabana ang grupo, maliban kay Steven at Luke. Pumunta siya doon. Binigyan siya ni Ryan ng margarita mango.

" Just for tonight. I think you deserve it,"sabi nito at inabot ang glass sa kanya. Walang nagawa si Camille kundi kunin ito. Hinahanap niya si Luke at Steven.

"Nasaan ang dalawa?"tanong ni Camille kay Ryan and sip her drink.

" Ayun, sa may beach, Nag-uusap,"sagot ni Ryan na nakatingin sa dalawang nag-uusap sa baba, sa beach. "Mukhang hind pa naman nagpapatayan ang dalawa so I guess it's good."

Lumapit sa kanila sina Caitlin at Owen" So, Stu is in love with Isaa. Whew!' sabi ni Owen."Kaya pala di nagtatagal ang kahit na anong girlfriend kay Stu iba naman pala ang love nito eh."

" Elle, buti na lang at nandito ka. Ikaw lang makakapag pahinahon kay Luke. You are the only one who could talk sense into him. Grabe pa naman ang temper niyan," sabi ni Caitlin ." I know that what ever na gawin niya kay Stu, he'll regret it after kung wala ka dito para awatin sila. He won't forgive himself if he harms Steven."

" Kala ko eh, papatayin na niya si Stu," sabi ni Nathan. " Hindi namin ma awat-awat eh. Thank God you came."

"What did you say to him? Now, they're talking,"sabi ni Bianca curiously.

" I told him that he is being stupid. These are the two people that he loves the most. If they end up together, would it be so bad? Of course not,"sabi ni Camille." Alam kong initial reaction lang yon. But Stu did not do anything to Issa, never took advantage of her, di ba."

"Right,"sang-ayon ni Raisa." Mas nahirapan nga si Stu because he has to suppress lahat ng nararamdaman niya for Issa.

Maya maya ay makita nilang nagyakapan ang dalawa. Nagbibiruan na ito and starting to the stairs. Umakyat ang dalawa and joined them in the cabana. They are back to how they are before. Nag-uusap na sila at magkaakbay, naglolokohan.

Pumunta muna si Luke sa bar to get a drink. Si Steven naman ay pinuntahan si Camille.

" Thank you, Elle sa advice sa lahat lahat,"sabi ni Steven." Nag-usap na kami. Whatever you said to him, thank you. Hindi ko alam kong ano ang gagawin ko kung wala ka dito. He said okay lang if i pursue Issa. He said he trust me na hindi ko siya sasaktan."

" What do you mean if you.....when you? Stu, life is short. Don't waste it. Issa is a wonderful girl. Kung kayong dalawa magkatuluyan, I couldn't be more happier. You have waited for so long, Luke said it's okay so go for it." she smiled." I love both of you."

Steven hugged her for a long time and kissed her on the cheek."Thank you again" he said smiling.

" Bro, I just told you that we are good. Don't make me take it back. Hands off," Luke told him teasingly and wrapped his arms around Camille's waist and held her tight "This one is mine and mine alone."

" Damn Br0, I know that. Elle is yours., always been.............all yours,"nakangiting sagot ni Steven with his hands raised up in the air.

" Hay naku, magsama kayong dalawa"sabi ni Camille and wiggling out of Luke's hold but he wont let her go. Lalo pa siyang niyakap nito.

Sumali ang ibang mga kasama nila sa kanila. Nobody seems to think it is weird na nakayakap si Luke kay Camille.

"I'm so glad that everything is back to the way it is,"sabi ni Ryan. "Tayo tayo na nga lang eh mag-aaway away pa."

"Cheers"sabi ni Nathan." For love, brotherhood and friendship. "

The clink their glasses at ininom ang mga drinks nila.

" Buti na lang Elle, at nandito ka to pacify Luke,"sabi ni Raisa looking at Camille.

" Muntik ng mawala ang bilib ko kay Elle. Ang tagal namang napakalma si Luke. Kala ko eh nawala na ang magic mo. Ano ba ang sekreto doon, Elle?" tanong ni Owen.

Biglang namula si Camille at hindi makasagot.

Hind nakaligtas ang reaction ni Camille sa barkada. They saw her blush and then they started smiling.

."Shit! Damn! No wonder na pacify si Luke," hirit ni Owen an tumatawa na. " Kaya ba ang tagal? Love, ako pag nagalit ako, gusto gayahin mo ang style ni Elle,"sabi nito kay Caitlin .

"Stu, may utang na loob ka kay Elle ha. Ninong ka sa susunod, "banat naman ni Ryan. " Maybe in about 9 months or so." At tumawa ito.

Kinuha ni Camille ang throw pillows sa love seat at pinagbabato ang mga ito habang tumawa lang iba. She was blushing samantalang nakangiti lang si Luke.
    Binalingan nito si Luke." Say something ,"sabi ni Camille ni Luke.
   Luke was smiling." What am I supposed to say? .......ummm it was  really good........"

   " Shit!!!!! " sigawan ng barkada and Camille started hitting Luke. He was laughing and enveloped Camille in his arms while their friends were still
laughing and teasing them.

Nang nahinto ang tawanan eh. Ayaw pa rin siyang tantanan ni Owen." So Luke, usap tayo mamaya kung paano ka na pa kalma ni Elle ha. And how good it was"

   " Ollie!!!!!!" sigaw ni Camille na pulang pula ang mukha at nakayakap pa rin ni Luke.

"Elle, pasensiya na ha pero kwento mo rin sa aming mga girls ha,"sabi ni Bianca na nakatawa." Baka kailangan ko ng tip para kay Ryan."

" Gusto kong maalala lahat eh. Every detail para vivid ang description . Make me mad again so Elle can try it again,"confirming kung ano nga ang nangyari sa kanila.

" Hay naku, alis na ako. I'm getting roasted here"sabi ni Camille. Luke was still holding . He held him even tighter and would not let her go.

"We are just happy for both of you,'sabi ni Steven na nakangisi." Payag akong maging ninong of course. So worth it naman pala itong pasa ko eh."

"Shut up. See if I help you next time,'kunyaring banta nito na iniripan si Steven.

Nagsign si Stevent that he zipped his mouth shut. Nagtawanan ang mga ito.
