CHAPTER 39

CRUISE

Usually, Awareness events are just one of those normal events I had to attend in order to make an appearance for the public's eyes but this year, it's different. I felt more excited than I used to be and I'm fully aware as to why.

I beamed when I saw the reason for my attentiveness. Zin finally arrived, his eyes roaming around the main hall like he was looking for someone. He's wearing faded jeans and a white shirt.

The moment his sight caught my appearance, he smiled and made his way through me.

I remember feeling so annoyed whenever I saw him, knowing very well that he will piss me off each time he'll open his mouth but now? That mouth of his has become one of my fave things in life---Oh my gosh Caylee. STOP BEING SUCH A PERV!

I blushed at my own thoughts and shook my head just in time Zin took a seat beside me. I'm all alone, still waiting for the girls to join me here on the cruise. Nauna ako sa kanila cause like what I've said, excited nga kasi ako for today.

"You're early," Zin greeted. I could feel that he's in a good mood too.

"You are too, Mr. Romero," I retracted.

He chuckled. "May gusto kasi akong makitang babae. Sabi niya gagantimpalaan niya 'ko kaya ito, hindi na 'ko makapaghintay."

Bakit ko ba kasi sinabi 'yon? I've set a trap to myself. Nice.

"I think I heard her say, you'll have to wait," I mumbled, waving at Rios and Evan as I saw them walking toward us. Zin groaned quietly, defeated by what I said. Tinawanan ko na lang siya at nagpanggap na para bang hindi ako kinakabahan.

I'm planning on telling him my feelings later. Hahanap lang ako ng tsempo.

Isa-isa na rin nagdatingan ang mga girls pati na ang iba pa naming mga kaibigan. I let Iris pull me away to the open-air terrace. Tawanan kami nang tawanan kasi parang mga ewan ang mga boys na nagtutulakan.

Senyor always makes sure that every year, at least one of his events will be held at a luxurious cruise but my friends are acting as if it's their first time today.

"'Pag may nahulog talaga sa'nyo, 'di ko irereport. Bahala kayo diyan," I joked around.

"'Pag ako ba nahulog sa'yo, pababayaan mo na lang din ba?" Zin asked me in a low voice.

Nilingon ko siya at nginitian. "Tingin mo?"

He looked at the sea and smiled. "Hopefully not."

Humarap ako sa kanya kaya tiningnan niya ako. He raised an eyebrow but I just grinned. Siguro nga hindi 'to 'yung pinaka-romantic place pero ayoko ng patagalin pa.

"Zin, all these dates and spending time with each other made me realize one thing. I'm sure of it now. I really---"

"CAYLEE! Huy!!! Mamaya na 'yang daldalan niyo, sumama muna kayo dito!" Naomi shouted. She's even demanding the boys to stop playing around so they could also join the group photo.

"Let's go." Hinawakan pa ni Zin ang siko ko upang alalayan ako papunta sa mga kaibigan namin. I pouted and sighed quietly. Ano ba 'yan, aamin na 'ko e!
