Chapter 5

"Why is my name on your activity log? You even tried to find my account with searching over and over and mixing up my name?" Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay at pinanliitan ng mata. Napatitig siya sa'kin pero sinalubong ko ang mga tingin niya.

"I tried searching it. Results were many but they seem to be just dummies. That's why i tried mixing up your name. But still, nothing seem to be legit." Sagot niya.

Pinanliitan ko pa siya ng mata. It seemed true though. Only a few people know what name I bear on my account. In-exit ko ang Facebook at sinunod ang Instagram. Lumapit ako ng kaunti pero sapat lang na maabot sa kanya ang phone. Hindi parin humuhupa ang pakiramdam ko.

He sighed before he asked, "What username should I use?" Tanong niya pagkatapos magtitipa roon.

"Ikaw mag-isip." Simpleng sagot ko at nagkunwaring tinatanaw ang malawak na bakuran ng likod ng mansyon. Pilit ko paring iniisip kung bakit ganito ang nararamdaman ko ngayon.

"How about kayraialangkakalampag? Is that cheesy?" Namilog ang mata ko sa tinanong niya. He look liked he don't have any idea. What the fuck is wrong with him? Pero kahit ganoon, uminit pa rin ang pisngi ko.

"Is that cheesy?" I sarcastically mimicked him before rolling my eyes.

"What about raialovesgaston?" He calmy asked. What the hell!

"Seriously? Just put your initials or whatever and not those!" Sigaw ko. Hindi ko kinakaya ang lumalabas sa bibig ng lalalking ito.

A bachelor with that kind of nickname? Ayos lang siya? He didn't even noticed how I get cringe at his words. Nagtipa uli siya at ibinigay sa akin ang phone. I tapped for his profile at nakita ko ang username niya.

Pinamulahan ako ng pisngi uli. But I didn't dare bring that up to him. His face is very serious now. Umatras ako at naghanap ng magandang anggulo sa harap niya. I tried hard to ignore his stares.

"Look straight at the camera. Look fierce and show a devil smirk." I said, trying to catch a good emotion of his face. Nailang siya sinabi ko at napaayos ng upo. Pero mukhang pinili niyang maging kumportable. Nakaluhod ang isang tuhod ko sa buhangin. Humilig siya ng kaunti at hinawi laylayan ang polo niyang tumatabon sa abs niya. His skin was in a perfect pair of tan. Ngayon ko lang rin napansin ang mumunting buhok sa ibaba ng abs niya. Napalunok ako at ibinalik na lang sa portrait ang pagkakahawak sa phone.

He smirked and looked fierce. Nagustuhan ko agad ang kuha pero hindi pa ako nakontento. He looked devilishly handsome. Kitang-kita ang ripped abs niya. The filter I chose is just well for his skin tone and to sharpen the surroundings.

I stepped forward a little again to show him my shot. Nakatingala siya sa'kin at sinusuri na naman ko ng tingin. My heart never lose its fast pace. He just glanced at his phone then he nodded.

I turned to face the sea but even before I step back. His arms were already at my waist hugging me from behind and keeping me in place. Namilog ang mata ko sa gulat at hindi agad naka-angal. His hug felt like something. He rested his chin on the top of my head. Humigpit rin ang yakap niya. Hindi na nakapagpigil ang puso ko sa pagtibok ng malakas. The fish on my stomach must be doing backflips now.

"Take a picture." His voice sounded hoarse. I remained shock because of his hug kaya hindi agad naintindihan ang sinabi niya kahit na malinaw iyon sa pandinig ko.

Kakawala na sana ako pero inangat niya ang kamay kong may hawak na phone niya. Mas humigpit ang yakap niya at hindi na ako makawala pa.

"Take a picture of us, honey, please...." Napapaos niyang sabi.
