Let The Love Begin

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Gabby's POV

"Ayokong mapahamak ka," I was shocked. Grabe! Drake said that. But why?

Alam na alam ni Drake that I'm allergic to seafoods except fish, I thought he doesn't care kasi all throughout our way here hindi niya ako kinikibo. But to my surprise, bigla niyang kinuha ang shrimp nakakainin ko na sana.

I'm stuck like a statue. Hindi ako makagalaw, same as the people around us. Si Drake lang ang gumagalaw saming lahat.

"Guys, what?" Tanong ni Drake sa'min.

Tulala pa din kaming lahat sa ginawa niya.

"It's my Kuya's moment, pag may nangyari sa isa sa atin do you think hindi 'yun masisira?" Sabi niya ulit, well, he has a point.

"Ayokong masira ang moment ng Kuya ko so please let's all be careful with our actions," sabi na naman niya.

"Okay, so Gab, just eat the food you're not allergic to. Okay?" Sabi naman ni Ate Chandria sa'kin. We went back to our senses.

Uh-okay. Akala ko he really cared.

We then continued eating. I kept on stealing stares to Drake, ewan. 

After we ate, pumunta na kami sa hotel kung saan kami magse-stay. Nasa elevator ako ngayon, I'm all alone because Sam and Sofy went to see the beauty of the resort muna, but me? I need a rest, I've been exhausted since kanina because of Drake. I'm afraid I'll lose my senses again. 

Pagkalabas ko kaagad ng elevator ay nabigla ako sa nakita ko, for sure sa mukha nila'y nabigla din silang makita ako. "Gabby!?" it was Drake's mom, she shouted when she saw me. Hindi ako nakapagsalita kaagad. 

Honestly, I've missed them, so much. But the thing is different now kaya I remained civil. "Hi Tita, yes it's me," kalmadong sabi ko habang nakangiti sa kanila, she is with Drake's Daddy.

"Ang ganda mo lalo anak!'' sabi ulit ni Tita. Alam ko naman 'yun e, char!

''Thanks tita. Hi tito," I forgot to greet Drake's dad kaya I greeted him nalang kahit late na. "Tita I gotta go ha? I'm so tired kasi sa byahe," sabi ko. 

"Oh s'ya magpahinga ka na, pupunta lang kami sa cafeteria," sabi ni Tita, hindi umiimik si Tito, galit ba siya sa'kin? Bahala na. Nag smile nalang ako sa kanila at umakma nang aalis nang nagsalita si Tito, "Nagkita na kayo ni Drake Gabby?" tanong niya sa'kin. 

Nilingon ko naman sila ulit. "Yes po, magkasama kaming pumunta dito, bye po," sabi ko, I don't want to be asked anymore baka ano pang matanong nila, baka tanungin pa 'ko kung mahal ko pa anak nila.

Syempre.

Hindi na.

Dumiretso ako sa room ko, ang stressful naman pala ng event na 'to, ang daming past principles haha char! Pagdating ko sa kwarto'y agad akong tumalon sa kama, I took a deep breath, at last! I just want to rest right now, anyways five days naman kami dito at sa fourth day 'yung party. I will just do my paperworks here, dinala ko kasi mga tasks ko dito para may grades pa din ako kahit na absent ako. 

Dumungaw muna ako sa bintana, kitang kita ang view ng resort, ang ganda at ang peaceful ng dagat kahit madaming tao. Lumabas muna ako to buy some foods at drinks, I just want to stay in my room kaya bibili nalang ako ng madami para isang labasan nalang. Pumunta ako sa convenient store sa baba ng hotel, bumili ako ng madaming pagkain at drinks tapos ice cream. Ang dami ko nang dinala papuntang counter and all of them was about to fall out of my hands but, "Come, let me help you," I was shocked when Drake suddenly came up in the picture. 

He extended his hands for some help which I can't decline kasi aminado akong nahihirapan ako sa pagbitbit ng mga pinamili ko. I gave him the foods and we walked together sa counter, hindi ako makapagsalita. I was walking behind him, ang laki pala ng pinagbago ni Drake, he gained so much weight and fats in his body which made him look so cute, hindi siya fat na fat talaga, he's just chubby which is very ideal for me. Hindi ko type 'yong lalaking may biceps or muscles, I find it so gross and disgusting, well iba-iba naman kasi tayo ng type.
