Best Part of Me

18

I texted Jonas na may pupuntahan ako, he just replied with okay at siya na daw ang bahala. I don't know what kind of alibi would he say to my parents but I know magagawan niya yun ng paraan.

I turned off my phone, and just enjoyed the moment. Dahil wala nga akong tulog ay di ko namalayan na nakatulog ako sa kotse ni Ash, and I just woke up when we arrived.

Sabay kaming bumaba sa kotse at sumunod ako sa kanya. He guided me to a store na may mga bentang swim wears, and shirts.

"I'll buy you clothes." He said but I stopped him.

"No, I'll buy mine." I said, he just sighed and nodded. I started choosing swim wears, shirts, shorts and undies while he was waiting at the store's lounge. Pagkatapos mamili ay nagbayad na ako sa cashier using my own card.

Lumapit ako kay Ash kaya't tumayo na siya. I just followed him towards the Resort's reception.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Chase. We're not expecting for you arrival, what can we do for you?" Magalang na tanong ng receptionist, she looked at me and smiled warmly so I just smiled back.

"2 VIP rooms, please." He answered.

"For a moment sir." The receptionist checked her monitor, maybe finding for available rooms. I saw how the receptionist bite her lips while looking at the monitor.

"Sir, we only have one unoccupied room available as we are fully booked today. But if you would like, we can cancel some scheduled arrival for today." The lady suggested.

"Yeah, cancel it." He said boredly like he doesn't care about the resort's reputation. So I just pushed Ash away from the reception table and faced the lady.

"No, we'll just take that one available room." I said smiling. Both of them looked confused, she looked at Ash waiting for his permission.

"Papayag yan, wag kang matakot." Natatawang bulong ko sa receptionist. She just nodded and handed me the key to our room.

"Room 504 ma'am, this way please." She guided us towards the elevator and pressed the right button for us. Hindi ko alam kung ganito ba talaga kaganda ang service nila o nagpapa-impress lang sila dahil si Ash ang may-ari nito. Maybe I should come again here without Ash para matry kung ganito talaga sila ka-hospitable.

"Are you sure you want to be in the same room with me?" He asked suddenly. I just smiled at him.

"Ako pa talaga tinanong mo?" Natatawang sagot ko, c'mon he knew how much I like him and having him in the same room with mine was a dream come true.

Umiling na lamang siya habang pinipigilan ngumiti, at di na sumagot pa. We both entered the room, and the receptionist opened the room for us.

"Hope you enjoy your stay ma'am, sir. Have a nice day." Umalis na siya kaya't sinarado na ni Ash ang pinto.

I can't stop smiling, everything felt surreal. I can't imagine staying in a single room with him, but here we are now.

"You should rest, I'll wake you up before the sun set." He said, he sat at the couch and turn on the television. He selected a movie and sat comfortably, lumapit ako sa kanya at tumabi sa kinauupuan niya.

"What movie is that?" I asked.

"Ewan." Sagot niya, I just rolled my eyes at him. He went to the kitchen and went back with canned juice and chips. Nilagay niya yun sa coffee table sa harap at bumalik sa pagkakaupo sa tabi ko.

He was busy eating and watching but I felt sleepy so I leaned my head on his shoulder. He did not protested and let me sleep on his shoulder.
