Saving Harper

Aurora Borealis

"O, mag tatravel vlog tayo ha." Kumunot yung noo ko at what Xavier just said. Waiting for him to drop the punchline. "Oo thing yon Harper, wag mo kong tignan ng ganyan." He swiped his hand on my face to emphasize that I was looking at him too weirdly at parang ayoko yung gagawin namin. We were already waiting to disembark the plane.

Super long haul yung flight from our layover and we watched movies, tinulugan ko sya and well, what we do best—maghalikan. Ang landi? Definitely. But who cares? We're happy. At sa totoo lang ang sarap talaga makipag landian kay Xavier. Just thinking about it, kinikilig nanaman ako.

"Okay chill." I suppressed my small laugh. Cute naman yung travel vlogs. I've seen some on YouTube na sobrang ineffortan. Dun ko nalang din ata nararamdaman yung pagtatravel. Living vicariously through others, that was what I was doing while watching them. Feelingerang nag punta na din ako dun sa mga lugar na napapanood ko.

"Wag ka mag alala Harper, di naman natin ipopost yon. Para saatin lang. Masyado ng PDA kung ilalagay pa natin yung mga videos natin sa YouTube." He smirked. 

"Sayang kala ko sisikat na tayo." I joked as we finally stood up kasi pinauna namin yung mga naghahakot pa ng mga gamit sa overhead compartments.

"Maba ban lang tayo. Alam mo na yung content natin." He winked at me and took my hand to guide ma palabas ng eroplano. I stuck my tongue out while smiling like a schoolgirl kahit nakatalikod na sya kasi kinikilig nanaman ako.

"Oh my god hindi ba malamig?" I hesitated going down the stairs opening up to the Blue Lagoon. This was the first and only stop for today since we arrived in Iceland. 

The sights were breathtaking. Natatawa na sakin si Xavier kasi para akong bata na turo ng turo kung saan-saan. And true to the vlog, we filmed everything using a camera he brought with him. Minsan di ko pa alam gagawin ko dun sa camera pag sya na yung finifilm ko. Ang trabaho pala ng travel vlogs at nakakangawit mag film. It took some time getting used to na may camera na nakatapat saakin palagi. I wonder how actors do it all the time?

"Babe sa tingin mo ba nandito ako ngayon kung malamig? Mas malamig pa kung saan ka nakatayo ngayon." Xavier looked at me. Yeah malamig nga kung saan ako nakatayo dahil humahangin pa na tumatagos sa rashguard ko, kaya ako naghehesitate. Konti nalang mag chachatter na yung ngipin ko. "Come to daddy." He laughed and raised both his hands and gestured with them and inaabangan din nya kong bumaba.

Bahala na!

The water was surprisingly hot when I entered it. "Ang sarap." I instantly relaxed in his arms. "Ako? Syempre. Pero mas masarap ka." He whispered and kissed my neck. Jusko! Mainit yung tubig pero parang mas mainit yung naging reaction ko sa sinabi ni Xavier. Oh the things he can make me instantaneously feel. Ni wala nga akong chance ngayon na mapigilan lahat. Kasi you're not anymore trying na pigilan, Harper. Wala naman na kong rason para pigilan lahat.

Cute ni Xavier kasi he gave his camera pala to one of the attendants so he can film us during our swim plus kissing moments. Walang swim actually kasi nakayakap lang ako sa kanya. Parang mukhang pre-nup tong ginagawa namin ah. But this was definitely one na dapat nga naming itago for posterity and something that we can always watch when we miss each other too much during our time apart.

Xavier posted some of our plane pictures and yung sa lagoon sa IG stories nya and yung mga sweet pinost nya sa IG. I posted a lot dahil like me, deprived din sa buhay yung Instagram ko.
