Brayden

I don't know how long I have been staying in the sea until by buddy calms down and the heat of my body subsides.

I want to drown myself for what I've done. What have I thinking? May pinagdadaanan yun tao and I took advantage of it. Damn you Brayden Luis! You're an asshole!

"May damit ka ba na pamalit?" I stared at Amina. Naka upo pa rin sya sa buhanginan pero this time suot na nya ang coat ko at maayos na ang buhok pati mukha. She's beautiful no doubt about that.

"Brayd, I'm asking you kung may damit ka bang pamalit."

"Ha? Y-yeah nasa sasakyan." Kasabay ng pagturo ko ng kinalalagyan ng sasakyan ay ang pag-iwas ko din ng tingin. "I'll change first."

Nag madali na akong umalis bago pa man kung ano ang maisipan kong gawin. Amina is a walking temptation that is hard to resist.

Pinuntahan ko ang sasakyan ko. Thank God I always have my gym bag with me. And extra clothes in case of emergency. Nagpalit ako ng khaki short and button down shirt. Kinuha ko rin ang jogging pants ko and extra shirt for her. I think it will fit, somehow.

"Change your clothes, babe." Inabot ko sa kanya t ang jogging pants ko and extra shirt.

"T-thank you."

Umangat ang sulok ng labi ko ng nagmamadaling kuhain ni Amina ang damit sa akin. She even stumble kakamadali papunta sa may sasakyan ko. The car by the way she picked.

"*chuckles* careful."

I sighed. I remember what she said. I clenched my fist. I felt like I have to do something para hindi na maulit ang nangyari. Hindi ko maimagine how much she suffered because of it.

I never imagined she suffered like that. She's always bubbly and hyper kaya hindi mo iisipin na may pinagdadaanan sya. Sabagay the more the person express how happy they are, the more they are suffering inside.

"How do I look?" She turns around.

Pasimple akong napalunok. Why does my clothes look good on her? Mas bagay pa yata kesa sa akin.

"It suits you. Come here, sit beside me."

Tumalima naman sya at naupo sa tabi ko. Hinawakan ko ang kamay nya at tumingin sa kalangitan. There this part of me who knows exactly what I feel but I don't want to name it. Yet. At least not as of this moment.

"Bray..."

"I know you are confused and so am I. I lost count how many times I told you I will never like you but look at me now. Acting like a shit. Let's upgrade this friendship to exclusively dating, Amina."

I am dead serious. Ayaw kong makita sya na may kasamang ibang lalaki. Baka mapatay ko lang ang lalapit sa kanya. I am territorial and possessive when it comes to the person I like.

"A-ano... b-baka napipilitan ka lang because of what h-happened. Wag kang ma pressure hehe." She even waves her two hands while shaking her head.

Dumilim ang mukha ko dahil sa sinabi nya. "Amina. I knew what exactly I feel."

Shit. Freaking shit. Kakasabi ko lang ayaw kong pangalanan kung ano ang nararamdaman ko but hear I fucking am confessing what I fucking feel.

"A-ano... k-kasi... I am overwhelmed. Wait kinikilig ako."

I chuckles when she giggles then rolls in the sands. Dapat na yata akong masanay na isang baliw ang babaeng idinidate ko ngayon.

"Are you done with your crazy thing?"
