Love Always Finds A Way (Taglish) [OlStan]

Part 29

Lizzie's POV

Seb's been silent for a while now. I'd ask him questions and he'll respond with a “yes, no” answer, sometimes he will just nod or shake his head when he agree or disgaree on what I said.

It was around 4:30, the sun is ready to set. Kate and Tony are waiting for us in the shore, they look happy, they seemed unbothered of the issue. And then there's Seb and Me, he was walking ahead of me.

“Hey!" I felt Em beside me, she then cling on to my arm. “Is everything ok between you and Seb?"

“I think so." I look in front and saw Chris catching up with Seb.

“What happened?"

I told Em what happened and the reason why Seb's been silent. “I don't mean to say it like that, to look like that I don't trust him. But it can happen right?"

Em caressed my arm. “Yeah, we can't take away that possibility. Pero s'yempre, you have to understand that Seb's trying hard naman to erase that image. I'm not saying this just because he is my brother.. But people change and I can definitely say, he's not like Tony."

“Thanks, Em."

“No problem." She gave me a warm smile. “Talk to him and just explain yourself, I'm sure Seb will understand. Mahal na mahal ka kaya n'yan." She remarked.

We hopped on to the boat as soon as it came. We were seated the same way when we came to the Island. Seb's beside me, his eyes wanders to the beauty of the place. I wanted to talk to him, to apologize but thought this isn't the best place to do it.

I glance over Kate and Tony's, they were talking to each other. Kate seemed so happy just by talking to him.

My heart hurts for my sister, she's not perfect - but she's one of the softest person I know. I relied on her when I was on my lowest, she never, even once, left me. She protected me and made sure I won't think of taking my own life. Kate gave me a timid smile when she noticed I'm staring at her. I smiled back.

Seb help me get off the boat but then walked ahead after. Em gestured me to catch up to Seb, while Kate look at me as if she knew something's going on.

As soon as we reached our room, Seb turned to me and hugged me tight. I was surprised. I stood frozen for a while.

“Damn! I was trying to avoid you. I was hurt with what you said, but I can't seem to keep away from you."

“I'm sorry, Seb. I don't mean to say those things. I don't mean to compare you from Tony."

He pushed me away gently, his hands over my shoulder and looking at me intently. “I understand. I promise you, Liz.. although you told me before you no longer believe in promises.. I will change. I won't disappoint you."

“I trust you, Seb. I just can't get that thought out of my head."

“Maybe it was a mistake that we invited them to join us. We're here to relax, pero iniisip mo sila."

“Nag-aalala kasi ako kay Ate."

Naglakad kami sa kama, umupo. He made me sat on his lap, he wrapped my right hand over his neck. This is one of our favorite cuddle positions. We look at each others eyes. I started drowning on those black orbs. The next thing I knew, his lips are gently kissing mine and his hands are all over me.

“Liz! Seb!" We heard someone called our names followed by a loud banging on the door. “Liz!"

That sounded like Kate's voice. I jumped off from his lap and run to the door.
