Of Lines and Love

Tawang tawa pa rin ako pagbalik ng kwarto, although I was careful not to wake Iradessa up.

Kinabukasan may breakfast buffet nang nakahanda. I got pancakes and bacon. Tsaka pumunta na sa table namin sa terrace.

I appreciate the view even more now. The water was really blue and the breeze was so refreshing compared to the Mainland. Kita rin ang mga katabing isla with it's green mountains and sturdy rock formations.

I'll definitely buy an island in the South and build a resthouse where I can hide and no one can disturb me.

"May sinend ako sayo," ngisi ni Ellora.

I choked on the pancake. Tawa naman ng tawa ang luka.

Pagkaopen ko nung message nya tumambad sakin yung picture kagabi. When I did that stupid dare! It was nothing compared to the dares of the others where they really made out, but still!

Kitang kita yung mukha ko at nakapikit. I can also see Arden's side profile.

Why did I even close my eyes?!

Tandang tanda ko pa kung gaano ko pinigilan na mamula kagabi.

I know Arden is a good-looking human being. Na-appreciate ko naman. Ano ba skincare nung lalaking yun? Ganda ng kutis eh.

May nag-abot sakin ng tubig at agad kong ininom. I was supposed to say my thanks pero napa-ubo ulit ako nang makita na si Arden iyon!

Did he see it? Sana hindi, kundi quotang quota na ko sa lalaking to!

Mas lalong lumakas ang tawa ni Ellora.

"Kalma lang kasi sa pancake, di ka naman mauubusan."

I glared at her nang mahimasmasan ako.

Lulunurin kita mamaya akala mo ha!

Pagkababa namin ng beach, kanya kanyang photoshoot na ang nangyari pagkatapos ng ilang group shot.

Naka-rashguard at shorts ako ng bumaba just like the others. The remaining are on their swimsuits with sarongs on their waist.

"Aeo, tara picturan kita!" hawak ni Uri yung camera nya.

"No thanks."

"Sige na! For memories!"

I tried to "pose" but I'm sure it turned out awkwardly. After a while ay tinigilan nya na rin ako. There I saw Iradessa and Val forcibly taking pictures of Arden.

"Arden, picture tayo!" sigaw ni Ellora.

If I know, may binabalak nanaman to.

And Arden, being the "gentleman" that he is, went to us. 

Who knew that body hid behind a shirt?

I'm not ogling, I'm just appreciating. There's a difference.

"If you take a picture, bayad ka na sa consequence," bulong sakin ni Ellora habang papalapit si Arden.

Wala naman kasing sinabing may consequence eh! Hindi pa ba sapat yung kagabi?!

Noong una kaming tatlo. Di man lang ngumiti sa picture!

I rolled my eyes when Ellora opted for a picture of just me and him.

Nagpeace sign na lang ako para matapos na ang kabaliwang 'to.

"Thank you!"

I don't know how to swim kaya doon lang ako sa mababaw habang naglulunuran na sila doon sa malalim. Sa sobrang harot nila, hindi na ko magugulat kung kulang na kaming babalik bukas.
