Chapter 40

Never again

Masama ang tingin sa akin ni James, si Tony naman ay kanina pa nakangiyangis, at ako naman ay kanina pa din wala sa sarili dahil sa ilang beses kong binalikan ang nangyari kagabi.

I convinced myself many times that it was just a dream but I failed. Dahil sa tuwing sasabihin kong panaginip lamang iyon ay naramdaman kong totoo iyong nangyari. Napapikit ako nang mariin at napasabunot sa buhok.

Nasa isa kaming restaurant ng hotel para mag breakfast. I'm wearing just a V-neck dress na lumaylay lagpas hanggang tuhod and my hair is tied up.

"How come you slept with him?" Tanong ni James sakin.

"I passed out on my way to the sea side last night." I said, avoiding their gaze. Hindi kumibo si James kaya nagpatuloy ako.

"I guess he followed me, I was not myself last night that I wasn't able to answer him when he asked me where my room is.. and, oh! I didn't want to sleep with him!"

"He's your ex." Umirap ako sa sinabi niya.

"Yes, he's my ex. Besides, it's not my fault that I slept in his room! He followed me and carried me because I really was so drunk!"

Magsasalita pa sana siya ngunit umiling na lamang. Seems like he just gave up arguing with his bestfriend.

For today's plan ay pupunta kami sa karatig isla where we can do snorkeling and do sorts of activity.

"Good morning." Napaupo ako nang tuwid nang marinig ang boses niya. I'm praying not to bump into him but I guess it's not my lucky day. Matalim akong tiningnan ni James at sunod na tiningnan ay si Calix na mukang nasa likod ko.

"Do you mind if we join you for breakfast?" He said. Napairap ako. I want to say no but it will give him the idea that I am trying to avoid him.

"Have a seat." Ani James. Lana sat beside me and Calix sat beside James. Inirapan ko siya nang tinapunan niya ako ng tingin.

"Ate, we'll be joining you kung saan kayo pupunta today." Napatingin ako sa kapatid ko. Not sure which reaction should I have.

"How's your sleep?" Napatingin ako sa kay Calix at hindi na napigilang magkunot ng noo. Did he seriously ask me that? And what the hell in the world should I answer?

"Fine." Matabang kong sagot at nag iwas ng tingin. I couldn't just look at him for so long, especially now that I remember everything that happened last night. I mean, how the hell should I face my ex after I kissed him?!

"So, you'd go snorkeling today?" Aniya. I focused on my plate and eat slowly. How about they go without me? Should I just go back to Bulacan or Manila?

Nang walang sumasagot ay nag angat na ako ng tingin. It's just me he's looking at. Sa gulat ko ay hindi ko napigil ang paglaki ng mata ko.

"Y-yup." Tanging nasagot ko at muling nag iwas ng tingin. Why the hell is my heart beating this fast?!

Should I just backout?

But sayang naman ang bakasyon ko kung babalik lang ako agad sa Bulacan just because of my ex! Kaya naman wala akong naging choice kundi sumama sa kanila. We packed some of our things after we finished eating our breakfast.

I changed into a black 2 piece at nagsuot lamang ng malaking kulay puting T-Shirt. I did not bother wearing a short dahil huhubadin ko rin naman mamaya ang t-shirt kong ito.

Tony's wearing a 1 piece bikini. Nakabusangot si James habang tinintingnan ang suot ni Tony.

"Dapat ay nag T-shirt ka din." Umirap si Tony.
