EX Friends With Benefits

Forty nine

When the pump boat stopped. My eyes wandered at the view. Sugba lagoon is really an amazing place. Clear water, mountains, lots of people and oh! the refreshing water.

"Ang dami namang naka bikinis dito. Look at them, Nate" I laughed.

"I only see you" he smiled and it's my turn to make a face.

"Baliw" I waved my hand. The thing about the water is that it's so refreshing and inviting but I choose to stay in the cottage. Nate took lots of pictures including me glaring at him.

"C'mon Yndi, the water is so tempting. I want to dive" He smiled.

"Imo nanay dive" I said seriously nagtaka naman siya sa sinabi ko. Duh? surigaonon yun. I don't really want to get myself wet.

Him being so hard headed, he dived. I wasn't bothered at all. Ako naman 'tong parang tanga na tingin ng tingin sa mga nakapalibot sa akin.

"Let's go na?" I asked.

Winisik wisik niya yung buhok niya at tumingin sa akin. "Are you bored?"

"I'm an indoor person, Nate"

At yun, mayroon  pa kaming natitirang pupuntahan like surfing, coconut road and magpupungko. I enjoyed all of it lalo na yung surfing! ang sakit sa binti pero nakakaenjoy.

"Did you had fun?" he asked as i stepped out of the bathroom. Nandito na kami sa tinutuluyan namin.

"Yes, but i prefer inside doing nothing"

"By the way, when we go back to our house i'll be out of town. Conferences"

"Yes, and you should go back to your owner"

"I am here" He looked at me na magkasalubong ang mga kilay.

"Jessica?" Duh!

"Yndi, ikaw yung nag mamay-ari sakin, bat mo ba ako binibigay sa iba?"

"You know what let's not talk at all, wala kang kwentang kausap Nate" bored kong sagot.

"Are you hungry? gusto mo bumaba para kumain?" pag iiba niya ng topic.

"No, mamaya na siguro"

Silence.

"I miss my baby" out of nowhere kong nasabi.

He smiled. gano'n din siguro ang naramdaman niya. Nate loves his son so much! Palagi niya itong binibigyan ng oras. and i'm thankful na pinapayagan siya ni Jessica na dalawin ang anak namin.

"I'm really sorry kung hindi siya kasama natin. I really want this trip na tayo lang. You and me in Siargao. sounds perfect, right?"

"Hindi. Siargao is a great place pero hindi ako mag e-enjoy dito dahil hindi ako marunong lumangoy! You know that kahit noon paman"

"Yeah, I remember you pouting when we went to Palawan" He chuckled.

"Excuse me! I love Palawan. the reason na hindi ako masaya no'n kasi nandon ka! God, naaalala ko na naman yun" hinilot ko ang noo ko dahil nag pa-flashback na naman.

"Sinundan talaga kita no'n. You really caught me up"

"How does it feel to be engaged, Nate? I mean yung feeling na alam mo wala ng magkakahiwalay sa inyo"

"It doesn't mean na kapag engage kana ay hindi na kayo maghihiwalay. Look at Jess and I hindi naman kami nagkatuluyan"

"Omigod Nate! nakakainis kana, I saw Jessica's posts on insta. Lahat nun ay larawan ninyo up to now"

"Maybe for her ay engage parin kami but I broke it off when I left you and went to her. I talked to her and her parents. Settle all the damage and cleaned the mess"

"Yeah whatever, I don't care. Naka move on na ako. What's past is past"

"You can never really moved on from the past, Yndi. It's always gonna be there"
