"The voice of the sea, speaks to the soul." I turn my head to him. "Do you believe that, Ryker?" tanong ko. Umiwas ako ng tingin nang nakatingin na pala siya sa'kin.

Pumintig na naman ang puso ko. Iba talaga ang impact kapag nagkakatinginan kaming dalawa.

I straightened my legs to the sand and smiled. "You know the ocean is everything I want to be...Beautiful, mysterious, wild, and free. I really love the Palm trees, ocean breeze, salty air...everything is perfect..." I said.

It was love, at first sight, the day I met the beach. Every time I stand before a beautiful beach, its waves seem to whisper to me. If you choose the simple things and find joy in nature's simple treasures, life and living need not be so hard.

"I will watch every beach sunrise with you until the sunset of our lives," he said.

Doon ako napalingon sa gawin niya. Nakatitig siya sa'kin na parang hindi siya kumukurap.

Here we go again. Every time I looked into his eyes I feel like I could fly. I want to swim deeper and drown in his entirety.

Umiwas ako ng tingin at yumuko. Pinaglaruan ang aking daliri.

"Stop joking around, Ryker." ani ko. Inipit ang takas na buhok sa gilid ng tainga ko pero wala ding silbi 'yon dahil sa malakas na hangin.

Wala akong experience tungkol sa pagpasok sa isang relasyon pero ang gusto ko ay 'yung hanggang dulo na. Yung bang sigurado na isa't-isa,  kahit na may dumating man problema sa pagitan namin hindi mawawala yung 'love' at hindi rin mababawasan.

Kung dumating man ang panahon na mahuhulog ako kay Ryker at mamahalin ko siya. Tanging hiling ko lang ay sana siya na... because I'm really forward to him—in our future.

He moved a bit. I took one glance at him. He's looking at the scenery of waves. The sun rays hit his good-looking features and it looks even more attractive.

Mas lalong nadepina ang mahaba nitong pilikmata especially his gray eyes with his thick furrowed eyebrows. His medium-length hair and the curls at the ends of it. And his tanned skin. Kung papasok siya sa Model Industry, panigurado na pasok na kaagad siya. Sobrang gwapo niya na makalaglag panty.

Marami akong nakikita na gwapo sa Los Angeles pero ang kagwapuhan ni Ryker ay walang binatbat sa kanila.

"I'm serious about you, Muriel..." Aniya at lumingon sa'kin. Sa pagkakataong 'yon hindi ko iniwas ang tingin ko, sinalubong ko ang malalim niyang titig kahit na para bang hindi na ako makahinga dahil sa kakaibang nadarama.

"I am not going to dive into a relationship with someone unless I am 100% sure they are a good match for me..." he licked his lower lip. "But you? You're different, Muriel. I want to court you, to date you, to have you in my life. I am going to dedicate myself to you and only you and I expect you to do the same."

My heart palpitated as I heard what he said. This is making me crazy. He makes my heartbeat entirely too fast. The dopamine on my body increase making me feel a euphoric way, and this is the first time I felt this.

And it's because of him!

"Bakit ako, Ryker? Marami naman na iba diya—"
