And Then He Cheated

13

"Hey baby!" napakapit ako sa lababo ng cr habang pinapakinggan ko ang mga pagkatok na ginagawa ni Nathan sa labas."Come out, Aviane"

Napatitig ako sa repleksyon ko sa salamin. The red two piece made my skin shine. Hindi ko nga alam kung bagay ko ba ito o hindi. That's why what I did is one of the funniest thing to do. I messaged Dianne and sent her a photo of me wearing the bikini. Fierce at yung naka smile. I got a very nice shot that I will probably post in instagram. Naghintay ako ng ilang segundo bago ko natanggap ang mensahe niya.

'You look damn hot. Maglalaway si Nathan, for sure'

Napairap ako. Napaka walang kuwenta talagang kausap ang babaeng to! Huminga ako ng malalim. Sinuot ko yung itim na cover up bago ako dahan dahang lumabas ng banyo. When Nathan finally saw me, his mouth hanged in the air. Namula ako at nanginig ang tuhod ko. Bakit ganyan ang reaksyon niya?

"P-a.. pangit ba? Should I change?" kinakabahang tanong ko.

"Baby, no. You look.." he trailed off. He walked towards me and gently caressed my cheek.
"Very beautiful and I'm so scared I might lose you" he breathe.

I smiled at him lovingly,"I love you okay? I'm yours hindi ako mawawala sa'yo. Well unless you'll do something very unacceptable" tudyo ko sakanya. He remained silent. I can't read his expression again damn it!

"I won't" anito sa malamyos at mahinang boses. I smiled at him and tugged him towards me. I stared at his face and traced it using my finger.

"Let's enjoy this day hmm? I love you" hinila ko yung kamay niya para makalapit sa dagat. He possessively wrapped his left arm in my waist as we walked towards the clear water. Damn, this feels so good. Being in a peaceful place and being with the man I love the most.

"Baby, do you want to go in that part?" tinuro niya yung sa malalim na part. Agad akong tumango sakanya.

Nung makarating kami sa malalim na parte ng dagat ay agad kaming humarap sa isa't isa. I looked at his face, he looks really handsome especially when the sun hits his face. Hinaplos ko yung pisngi niya at ngumiti ng malapad. I can't lose this man.

"I don't want to lose you, please Nathan don't leave me" hindi ko alam kung bakit nagiging ganito ako. Before I was contented to be with him even just for a while but now I realized that I can't leave him. I can't and I won't.

Hinila niya ako papalapit sa katawan niya at matamang tinitigan. I can see sincerity. Sa tingin ko sapat na yun para mapanatag ako. Whatever that's bothering me  I can't just allow it to swallow my beliefs.

"Baby, you won't lose me.. I swear I'd die first before losing you" he whispered as he kissed my forehead. I love this man so much.

SO instead of being dramatic we made our day worthy. We tried water activities like snorkeling, diving and riding a boat. We ended up being exhausted and decided to go home after we eat. Mag gagabi na din kasi at siguradong hinahanap na ako sa bahay. Although Ate knows where am I, I'm sure that lola doesn't any idea.

"Did you enjoy?" nakangiting tanong sakin ni Nathan habang nagmamaneho siya.

I rested my back in my chair and hugged myself. Medyo maginaw na din kasi dahil Ber months na sa susunod na linggo. I crossed my legs and stared at the window.

"Happy is not enough to describe what I'm feeling. Thank you for this day baby" I smiled.

"No, thank you.. thank you for always trusting me. Thank you for coming to my life" my heart fluttered.

"AYAW mong pumasok?" tanong ko kay Nathan nung makalabas kami ng sasakyan niya.

I just realized that since we became together, I still didn't introduce him to my sister and grandmother. I felt guilty.
