Something Special (Dela Cruz Cousins Series #1)

Chapter 9

Vacation.

Ilang araw na ang nakalipas. Okay na kami lahat at wala ng tampuhan ang nagaganap sa aming magkakaibigan. But still, after what happened ay mas lumayo ang loob ni Kio at Candy sa isa't-isa.

Alam mo yung magkakasama kami pero ang layo ng loob namin sa isa't-isa. And that bothers me.

I don't want that to happen. Even it's happening now. I don't want to.

So i made a proposal. A vacation with the guys. And invited some of my close and trusted friends. Para naman masaya kami.

Ang magkakasama kaming tatlo, plus Hazelle, Gwen, Mark, (Sadya yan, para makalandi naman si Candy.) and Gavin.

We're currently on a private island, owned by the Dela Cruz familia. Kasama ko rin ang ilang pinsan ko na si, Astrid, Liam and my little brother, Sky.

Hindi nakasama si Kuya Dalle, busy sa studies niya and my other cousin, Aella, nasa abroad diba? I wanted them to come kaso, hays.

Actually, 2 months ago lang naka-alis si Aella dito. And we miss her already. Lalo na siguro sa Liam. And Astrid. They're the one close to her. The favorite grandchild of Ina'y.

That's our grand mother. She's strict but in a good way. She's kind and thoughtful to us. So that's why we love her. Her husband, which is Ta'y Marino.

Yeah, that's what we call him. Unlike Ina'y, he's super strict and hard as a rock. But unfortunately he died of cancer, leukemia, way back we we're kids.

So ayun. Favorite kasi ni Ina'y si Aella. Ang reason niya is magkaparehas na paprehas daw sila noong kabataan niya.

Kahit na mahinhin kasi iyon, sobrang daldal niya talaga, like Candy. Hindi ko na lang alam, mukhang tutol pa siya dati nang ipadala siya sa New York.

Pero wala siyang nagawa, her dad, Tito Lamure, is really strict. Like Ta'y Marino. Namana niya iyon sa kay Ta'y.

So ayun nga! Balik tayo sa vacation namin.

Ilang oras lang byahe namin dahil sa Bacolod lang naman ang lugar na pupuntahan namin. 2 hours approximately, since naka jet kami. Fancy, right?

Iba kasi ang buhay mayaman. Ma-inggit ka! Duh!

Pagkadating namin sa Island, deretso agad si Liam sa loob ng beach house. What a stubborn kid. Kanina pa iyon 'e. Ang sungit!

He's hard to deal with. Super mega sungit siya, hindi katulad ni Sky na hindi naman ganoon kalala. It depends on Sky's mood.

And i can hear Liam's want earlier in the jet.
Pinagalilitan naman siya ni Astrid, tiklop iyon sakanya. See? Nakayuko lang habang nakanguso pumasok sa loob.

Umiling-iling nalang si Astrid. I know, i relate, mahirap magpalaki ng batang maulit at masungit. Tamad na nga, ang sakit pa sa ulo. God!

Sumunod si Astrid kay Liam sa loob habang hawak ang lacy bag niya. It was summer themed.

I forgot to mention, the sun was stinging and it was a great time to swim and party in the beach. So naiisip ko talaga magvacation dito. Sobrang ganda ng weather.

Sana ay walang umepal.

Saan ka pa, sexy na, mayaman na, maganda na, brainy na. I got all you could've asked for.

It was windy too, but not too fast and hard. Sakto lang. Perfect day!

Sakto, tanghali na. Current time, 10:34 am.
