Chapter 36

Nikkiʼs P.O.V

“Baby..” nagising ako sa paulit ulit na boses ni Evo habang mahinang tinatapik ako sa pisngi.

“Hmm? Ano ba Evo mamaya na lang, inaantok pa ko eh..” i boringly answered him.

But i was so shocked when he gave me a peck on my lips after i said that to him. O___O

“Good morning baby!” he greeted me energetically.

“What the hell Evo?!--” and again he kissed me. “Too much bad words baby. Stop that or iʼll kiss you again.” he said grinning to me.

Ugh. What is wrong with this man? Okay lang bang kiligin kahit na kakagising ko lang? Kainis inaantok pa kasi ako eh. “Eh sorry na, bat mo ba kasi ako ginising eh ang aga aga pa kaya.”

“For you to witness this.. with me..” sagot niya sakin at tinuro ang view sa harap.. Whoah, sunrise? Literal na napanganga ako na agad na sinara ni Evo habang tinatawanan ako. “Wow..”

Hindi naman ako ignorante sa ganitong view, pero napakatagal na kasi nung huli akong nakakita ng sunrise.

Andito pa din kami sa batangas, pero ngayon asa medyo gitna na kami ng dagat. Dito kasi kami natulog ni Evo, dun sa pinakataas, yung parang rooftop nito, pagkatapos kasi ng mga nangyare kagabi eh naisipan naming magstar gazing, at ayun hanggang sa nakatulog na kami.

“Teka sinong nagpapaandar nito? Marunong ka ba?” i asked him while still enjoying the view.

“Hindi.” he answered calmly as if we have nothing to worry about. I abruptly turned my head to him.

“E pano tayo napunta dito? Ang layo na natin dun sa beach house nyo.” hindi makapaniwala kong tanong sakanya. Oh no, hindi pa naman ako marunong lumangoy!

“I donʼt know.” takte ano ba namang klaseng mga sagot to.

“Ano ba Evo? Seryoso kasi eh. Hindi pa naman ako marunong lumangoy.” i said, slightly irritated. Then i heard him chuckled.

“Biro lang, marunong ako nito. Ikaw naman masyado kang nagpapanic agad. Isa pa, i know how to swim so no worries. Iʼm your own version of superman. Iʼll save you no matter what.” then he pulled me closer to him, hugging me sideways.

“Hay nako, ang korni na Evo ha. Oo na sige na, ikaw na talaga makeso. Pero teka nagugutom na ko, kain tayo?”

“Sure baby, babalik na tayo sa beach house.” he beamed.

He stoop up, starting to walk when i stopped him by hugging him from behind. “I love you Evo..” i murmured, enough for him to heard it. Then he faced and turned to me. He cupped my face and smile, “Youʼre welcome baby, mas mahal kita.” He pulled me closer again for another hug.

“Evo, bakit ako? Of all the girls out there, bakit ako?” out of the blue na tanong ko habang nakaupo kami dito sa taas ng yacht habang pataas na ang araw. Isinandal ko ang ulo ko sa balikat nya.

“I donʼt know..” i was about to say something when he pulled me closer to him and continued.. “I donʼt know when and how it all started. This is so gay but sht i think it probably started when i first saw you, that exact moment when we accidentally bumped into each other. Dʼyou still remember that?” i nodded.

“Love at first sight?”  i teased him.

“Maybe, yes? Ewan ko, pero simula non lagi na kitang hinahanap. At umayon sakin ang mundo nung malaman kong classmate pala kita, and that stopped me from skipping class. Nung una hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko first time ko kasing magpapansin sa isang babae, usually kasi kusa nalang silang dumadating, kusang lumalapit. Kaya naisip ko non na baka nga pag inasar kita mapansin mo ko, and it worked out. Napansin mo nga ako pero iritable ka naman sakin. Kahit yung pagkajeje at jeje text ko kinainisan mo, well, quits lang tayo ang hirap kayang magpaka-jeje para lang mapansin mo ko.” he explained while he laugh at the last sentence.
