Surprise

The whole time while I was in the plane going to Singapore wala na akong ibang inisip, how do I surprise Tristan when I get there? Do I call him? Or what?

I just got here in Singapore and I am very excited and at the same time nervous. I'm just waiting for my luggage now before I head out to the airport to ship Transportation Service of the Cruise ship, yes they do provide that to make passengers more comfortable and no hassle in finding a cab going to the port. 

Tristan told me before that when their passengers arrive, officers and crewmembers greet passengers at the gangway so automatically, he'll see me agad and I know he will be very surprised so I think that's just it.

OMG, I can't wait!!

When I got my luggages I wasted no time and went out already and I immediately saw the bus that has the name of the Cruise ship and some staff assisting passengers inside already and some still waiting for the rest outside the bus. I walked towards and when the staff noticed me she smiled waiting for me.

"Good day, ma'am! Welcome to Singapore! May I see your ticket please?" She greeted placing her hand in front of me waiting for me to show my ticket. I nodded and smiled at her showing her my ticket and I was quickly assisted inside the bus when she saw that I am a First class passenger.

I was seated in the middle row and most people inside the bus were couples and families. I checked my phone for messages and Tristan messaged me an hour ago telling me na duty na sya and I got more excited. Finally!! After a couple of months of being away from each other!!

"What's a lovely girl doing alone in a cruise ship?" The old couple beside me asked smiling.

Awww, their so cute. Their probably around 60 and looking so cute.

I smiled at them and waved.

"Oh, my boyfriend's a crew in the ship and I'm going to surprise him." I replied and showed my wallpaper, Tristan in his uniform.

"Oh, what a lovely couple! You enjoy dear and take care." She replied smiling at me. "Thank you! You too! See you around." I replied before putting on my airpods pro and then before anything else, we were off to the port.

Pagdating namin sa port mas kinabahan ako parang tanga lang. May kumuha na sa mga luggage namin at sila nalang daw ang bahala mag dala sa cabin ko. Since it's really hot in Singapore I did not bother wearing any jacket. I just wore a high waist maong pants paired with a black turtle neck midriff long-sleeves which is open at the back.

I looked cute, sexy and mature and I loved it. I have with me my black Gucci hand bag and I wore my sunglasses. I removed my airpods as we were walking to the ship.

The ship was huge! I travel a lot but this is my first time going on a cruise ship that's why I'm very much excited plus it's with Tristan! When I came close to the line I immediately saw all the officers and crewmembers at the entrance and there I saw the love of my life.

Shit. I got more excited. Biglang lumamig yung pakiramdam ko dahil sa excitement and at the same time I'm nervous as fuck! I fell in line waiting for my turn to show my ticket and go to Tristan.

When it was finally my turn all the crewmembers greeted me and smiled. Tristan didn't notice me at first because he was busy securing the equipments used and completing the checklist.

"Welcome aboard ma'am!" I was guided inside and I was given instructions and all and I just nodded when I got all the instructions not being able to focus because I couldn't wait to go to Tristan. Before entering the lobby I stopped to look at Tristan and told the crew that assisted me to wait and I slowly walked towards Tristan.

He did not notice me at all.

"Ehem, excuse me." No reaction and my eyes widened when he just continued fixing something for the ship. "Ehem! Hey, I was wondering, are you single?" I tried once again joking and finally I got his attention.

His eyes widened when he saw me and he dropped what he was holding too.

"Babe! What are you doing here?!" He asked shocked and a smile crept on his face. I laughed at his reaction and opened my arms wide.

"Surprise!" I said smiling big as he ran to me and hugged me tight. "Fuck, I missed you so much baby." He whispered hugging me tightly. "Why didn't you tell me?!" He asked still surprised. "Surprise nga dba?" I laughed and kissed him quickly.

Then his face changed from being so happy and he gave me a worried smile all of a sudden. "What's wrong? Aren't you happy that I'm here?" I asked touching his face. "No, I'm very happy. Stress lang talaga babe. Halika, sasamahan kita." He said changing the subject and pulled my hand.

He talked to his co-worker first before we went inside and he talked to the crew who was suppose to accompany me. When we got inside the ship my eyes wandered inside and it was beautiful! Elegant architecture is paired with pleasing interior designs and colorful floral arrangements and art installations.

"Wow!" I said admiring everything. "This is your home for 9 months, wow." I said facing Tristan who was busy talking to the front desk for my cabin. I saw how the lady in the front desk eyed Tristan, she was smiling so big while talking to Tristan.

Alam ko gurl, gwapo ang bebe ko pero akin lang sya kaya sorry ka.

"Okay. I got your key card. Now, let's go." He said holding my hand again and leading the way and all I did was admire the inside of the ship.

Oh I'm gonna have so much fun!

"Cadet Rosemontt!"

I heard someone calling Tristan as we were on our way to the elevator going to my cabin. I saw that it was a guy wearing the same uniform as Tristan. When the guy was in front of us nag apir sila and he looked at me.

"Oh, ito ba yung girlfriend mo?!" His co-worker asked covering his mouth in surprise. Tristan laughed nodding and I gave him a smile waving my hand.

"Wow! You really came here for Tristan, huh? Alam mo ba, he always tells us about you. He misses you a lot. How I wish I could also let my wife visit me on board pero mahal eh, hindi ko pa afford." He said laughing still looking at us.

"Jack nga pala, third officer of this ship." He held out his hand introducing himself. I shook his hand and smiled. "Hi, I'm shantal." I replied still smiling. He tapped Tristan's shoulder after giving him Instructions and he allowed Tristan to accompany me to my Cabin he even told Tristan that if he leaves me alone he'll scold him.

He's very humble para sabihin na hindi nya afford papuntahin dito ang wife nya considering he's the third officer of the ship. Ang laki kaya ng sahod nila.

We were about to go up now but stopped when I saw someone walking to the other side of the ship.

"Rose!! Oh my God!!"

I called running towards her in excitement.

I missed her!

She turned around and her eyes widened when she saw me.

I was happy to see her but she looked constipated when she saw me like she didn't want to see me.
