Chapter 17 - Yes

Audrianna's POV

"Hi, I'm Charmaine Eleanor Kim. I hope you don't mind introducing myself again," Charmaine said to me while smiling.

Nasa veranda ako ng bahay nila Ace. Hindi pa ako maka-uwi dahil ihahatid daw ako ni Ace pauwi. The adults are having a serious conversation in the dining area with Ace and Amethyst. Kaya pagkatapos naming kumain, nagsi-alisan agad ang mga hindi kasama sa usapan.

Nag-aya pa ngang mag-swimming dito si Zyrus eh, hindi ako sumang-ayon dahil wala naman akong extrang damit na pampalit.

I smiled at Charmaine. "Hi. I'm Audrianna Eulla. You can call me Eulla or Audri," I said.

"You can call me Maine or Charm, instead." Charmaine said. "Totoo pala ang sinasabi nila Kuya Ace at Francis, you're very pretty." she said.

I shyly look away. "Hindi naman. Mas magaganda pa kayo sakin," I said, habang naka-tingin sa pool kung saan naglalaro ang magka-kaibigan.

"Don't look down on yourself. Maybe, para sayo magaganda kami but you're very pretty too. Lahat tayong babae magaganda, sadyang may sarili lang tayong ganda kaya tingin natin meron pang mas maganda satin," Charmaine said, meaningfully.

I smiled. "You're a deep thinker."

"Oh, not much. I was stating facts." Charmaine said and giggled. She looks down on the pool. "I'm going for a swim. Why don't you join us?" she asked.

"Ayos lang. I have no extra clothes with me," I said.

"Papahiramin nalang kita ng damit so you can swim with us," Charmaine said.

"That's very kind of you but I have no plans right now. Maybe, next time when we meet again," I said and smiled.

"If you say so." Charmaine said and before she walks away she flashed me her sweetest smile. "We'll be downstairs. Nice meeting you, Audrianna." she added and walks away.

I smiled while looking at Charmaine walking away. She's very kind. Halos lahat sila mababait. Well, hindi ko pa nakakahalubilo ang iba sakanila pero I think they're nice. Madison and Mia are kind, maybe. They were known as the Campus bullies. Okay, I don't know about that part if they're kind or what.

Dumako ang tingin ko sa baba kung saan nagsu-swimming ang magka-kaibigan. I saw Charmaine, wearing her black one piece, talking to the other girls who are also wearing their own swim-wears. They got the nice bodies. They have the curves at that young age. Advantage siguro 'yon ng pagiging model or having the parents exposed in social activities.

Meanwhile, the boys, without Ace, are busy playing the volleyball-like in the pool. Nakita ko pa kung paano lumubog ang mukha ni Francis nang madulas siya at una pa mukha. Tinawanan lang siya ng boys. The boys are just shirtless and just wearing their beach shorts maliban kay Zyrus na naka-white shirt at beach short. The boys seems to go to gym regularly. Like the girls, they have the body of a model too.

An arm encircling my waist suddenly startled me. Akala ko kung sino pero nang maamoy ko ang pamilyar na pabango ay napanatag ang loob ko.

"Are you bored here?" Ace asked, as he buries his face on my neck. His breathing gives me goosebumps.

I craned so he can have more access to my neck. "No, I'm fine. It's nice to watch your friends playing and goofing around. Plus, the view here is nice," I said.

"You should've swim with them and not standing here alone watching them." Ace said.

I smiled even though he can't see it. "I have no extra clothes. Tapos, uuwi na din naman ako eh. I'll join them next time," I said.
