Chapter 16: Push and Pull
Flynn's PoV
Four days of staying in Hawaii has never been this great.
Well, it is my first, after all. But it maybe the first trip I've ever done, Duke made it so memorable and fun, and I really am appreciating his efforts for that.
I guess spending a lot of money is really his thing during his vacations. Imposible naman kasing ginagawa niya ang mga 'to para sa akin, diba?
Going adventures like the helicopter thingy on the first day, diving and cruising on the second, and road tripping on the third.
Medyo inaalis ko na lang sa isip ko ang pag-akap niya sa akin noong helicopter ride namin. Geez, everytime na maalala ko 'yon, bigla nalang mag-wawala ang puso ko.
It pounds like "dugdug dugdug" everytime.
Tapos makikisabay naman ang mga pisngi ko na bigla na lang umiinit.
I'm like trying to calm myself down every freaking time dahil baka nga iniiwasan niya lang na mahulog ako o matakot dahil sa ginawa namin.
I sighed. Mukhang ganoon nga lang.
Anyway, today we decided to stay by the beach. Swimming by the waters and meeting new people while at it.
Well, yun lang naman talaga ang naisipan ko bago kami nag-punta ng Hawaii.
I wore my see-through cover-up above my bikini at saka kinuha ang aking beach hat bago lumabas ng hotel room namin.
Duke said he'll wait for me at the lobby kaya medyo napabilis ang kilos ko. Knowing him and his temper, madali lang para sa kaniya na iwanan ako rito sa hotel. And though I wouldn't mind him doing so, mahirap ang mag-libot sa lugar na ito ng mag-isa.
Pagkarating ko sa lobby, agad hinanap ng mga mata ko si Duke. I saw him na nakaupo sa isa sa mga sofa na nandoon.
He wore his summer polo and khaki shorts with matching sunglasses for his look.
Nakita ko na kasi 'yon kanina bago siya lumabas ng hotel room namin kaya hindi ako nahirapang hanapin siya.
Lumapit na rin ako kaagad sa kaniya dahil napansin ko na ang bulungan ng mga tao sa paligid ko.
Though alam kong ang assuming ko kung iisipin ko na ako ang pinag-uusapan nila, I couldn't help but be uncomfortable with only the thought of it, kaya nag-madali na akong lumapit kay Duke.
I mean, minsan lang ba sila makakita ng katulad kong ganito ang porma dito sa Hawaii? This is near the beach naman, ah.
I stood in front of Duke para makuha ang atensyon niya which I successfully got. His cold eyes stared at me from head-to-toe like he was checking me out.
Napaiwas naman ako ng tingin at napakamot sa batok dahil sa ginawa niya. My heart race for a bit kasi medyo nahiya ako sa tingin na binibigay niya.
Napalingon na rin ako kaagad sa kanya nang tumayo siya at agad na sumalubong sa akin ang masama niyang tingin kaya napalunok ako.
"What do you think you're wearing?"
I helplessly sighed with what he said. Tiningnan ko siya dahil 'di ako makapaniwala sa kaniya. Akala ko pa naman kung ano na ang problema niya.
"Beach attire, duh?"
"I know. But does it have to be..."
He coughed then looked away. Napapilig naman ako ng ulo at napamewang habang hinihintay ang sasabihin niya.
