Hide and Seek

CHAPTER 6

Maymay's POV

After the lunch I went back to my room and console myself. I am deeply unhappy with all that is happening. I cannot do what I want now, ang daming nakontra. They all really think that I am a helpless little teenager. Even that Donato. He is getting on my nerves.

I decided to stay on my room and think of my next step. Being angry right now is not an option. Tutal Donny seems to be so willing, involving himself with the decision of locking me here. He have to go first. He will be my first target. I need someone on my side since Tanner seems to be so close with Carla.

Five days went on to be uneventful. Dinner today is a drag as always, eating with all the people I hate makes everything unappetizing. Instant diet without even trying. I even think that I am losing weight.

Donny is acting like a gentleman on the table yet again. Pag nandiyan si Papa akala mo Santo. He pulled the chair for me and serve me food again. He is so kind on the dinner table I want to change my mind about my plans but I know that he is only acting like everyone in front of my Father. Well, sorry na lang! Living in Manila for years tought me a lot of things. Trust a few people, fewer things to think. My "few" friends are a testament to that. We are only three on the group. Trusting few people means less drama.

I decided to be close to him but our constant bickering is making it hard for me to proceed with my plan. Para siyang bipolar. Sungit - bait araw-araw. Napipikon agad ako sa mga hirit niya and that is new to me. Hindi ako pikunin, sa kanya lang. He seems to know all the buttons to push to make angry. Nakaka irita. Daig pa si Papa kung pagsabihan ako sa suot ko. Ang suplado. Ang sungit. Kulang na lang isipin kong nagseselos siya lalo na kapag si Tanner ang kausap ko, kung hindi ko lang alam na hinaharot siya ng babaeng Chingchangsu, I will really think that he is actually jealous. Bigla na lang hindi namamansin. Mr Sungit talaga hmp!

I rested a bit after the dinner today and decided to take a swim on the pool. Ilang araw ko na ding balak lumangoy but my plans are way more important than my own pleasure. Taking a dip tonight will not hurt naman siguro. I need to relax with all that I am doing. It is exausting to plan lalo na at sinama pa nila ako sa pagplano ng debut ko na sila lang ang excited.

Wala na sigurong tao, tulog na. Maaga silang natutulog lahat dito. Probinsya talaga, in Manila life starts after 10PM, for party people that is.

I decided to wear two toned halter one piece swinsuit. I missed seeing my legs; with what Donato is doing I almost forgot what my legs look like. He is so conservative, sabagay he is older pala sa akin. Kulang na lang gawin akong Mummy at ibalot ang buong pagkatao ko. Kung hindi lang sa plano ko... naku talaga. Wait lang.. bakit ba siya palagi ang iniisip ko. ERASE! ERASE! ERASE! GOOD VIBES! GOOD VIBES! GOOD VIBES! Haaaay!

Gabi na pero maalinsangan pa din kaya perfect talaga to go swimming before I sleep. I went down my room with my silk bathrobe as cover up. The bathrobe's hem is only enough to cover just bellow my butt. No one will see naman since tulog na silang lahat.

I am removing my silk bathrobe when I heard someone cleared his throat.

"Ahem..."

I immediately look at my right side where some of the sun loungers are positioned. And there I saw Mr Sungit with that dark look in his eyes.

"What?" I retorted while stretching my arms preparing for a swim.

"Do you really have to wear those clothes like you are offering yourself to everyone." He said with that intense look in his eyes that always makes me bend at his will.

"Donny I will not attend the mass I am going for a swim. Isn't it only fitting for me to wear a swimsuit to actually "swim"." I said giving emphasis on my last word, tobwhich he only snorted like he is more annoyed than before.

"What is your problem ba. You always look at me with disgust as if i killed someone just by wearing a short or a tank top" I hissed keeping my voice low so as not to wake anyone.

He immediately stand up and come near me. "No! you will not kill with those clothes but I will when men can't stop ogling at your body" he hissed back with so much intensity. I can smell the alcohol from his mouth and it's making me dizzy. Alcohol and mint.

"S-stop acting like t-that." I stuttered, unable to form coherent thoughts with our proximity. I am going weak with the way he stares at me. "A-re you d-drunk?" He is so close I cannot breathe. His minty breath mixed with alcohol is very dangerous to my heart and my mind. Evrn my body is going haywire, what is happening to me.

He came nearer and hold me on my arms. He was just breathing but my body is reacting like I have never felt before. I saw him looking at my lips and my eyes shut automatically waiting for his lips, but...

"Hmmm... do you think I will kiss a little girl like you?" He whispered.

That snapped me back to reality. He doesn't like younger girls. He doesn't like me. My tears are threatening to fall that's why I escaped from his hold and walked down to the pool and started swimming.

I can feel that I am about to cry. Did he just rejected me. The aluring Ary. Why am I affected. I don't even like him. God! He will pay for making me feel like this.

I saw from my peripheral vision that he is going back inside and my pilya side wanted revenge... I want him to want me... nobody can say no to Ary... I need him on my side... so here it is..

"Amp... Aaah! Help me! My foot ouch!" I yelp like I am drowning. I saw him turn back and remove his shirt leaving only his shorts and dive in to where I was. He wrapped my body with his strong arms and we went to the corner of thr pool... I can feel his ragged breathing in my neck and I feel ticklish.

"T-thank you... D-don...hmp" I didn't finish saying my thanks when his mouth covered mine... I was awestruck. He is kissing me with so much tenderness like he was afraid he will hurt me. I cannot respond. I don't know how. This is my first... my first kiss.. he stole it... but why am I not angry. I started moving my lips, copying what he was doing when he stopped...

"... I-I am s-sorry... I-I am d-drunk... and... sh!t..." he breathed out and swam away from me so fast I wasn't able to react.

I was left there shaking without the warmt of his body. Alcohol and mint... I tasted it from his mouth. He stole my first kiss but I am not angry... what is this I am feeling... my heart feels like exploding... it is beating so fast... ano ito... may crush na ba ako sa iyo Donato?

God no please.
