All I Want (Capture Series 1)

Seven

Lumabas kaming lahat para pumunta sa dining area. Anong oras na rin kase pero hindi pa kami nakakapagtanghalian. I was wearing faded denim shorts and white halter top. Binun ko ang buhok ko para hindi ako masyadong pagpawisan.

Pagdating namin doon ay kumpleto na ang mga lalaki. Nagkukwentuhan at nagtatawanan lang sila. Agad kong hinanap si Kai at umupo sa tabi niya. He looked at me then smiled.

"I ordered roasted chicken and some vegetables for us." he said as he put his arms on my chair.

"Thank you." I smiled at him back.

"Okay. Itinerary check!" napatingin ako sa nagsalitang si Robert.

He's holding a mini notebook at ballpen. Lahat kami bumaling sa kanya. Hindi ko na nilibot ang tingin ko para makita kung saan-saan naka-upo ang bawat isa. All I know is Kai is on my right, Alli on my left, and Robert infront.

"After this lunch, we all have time to do what we want. Bahala kayo kung matutulog kayo or magsu-swimming na agad, depende sa gusto niyo. Then we'll play volleyball, then swim, then bonfire by the beach. We'll do other activities tomorrow like kayaking, banana boat, and such. For today, we'll just chill." he explained.

"Who wants to play frisbee? Theo has one." taas-kamay na tanong ni Collins.

Bumaling ako sa kanya at nakita na katabi niya si Theo at Rex. Binalik ko ang tingin sa iba naming kasamahan para makita kung may nagtaas ng kamay. Nagsitaasan naman sila kaya nagtaas na rin ako ng kamay.

Mabuti na rin na may frisbee. That's easier to play than volleyball.

After maglunch ay dumiretso kami ni Kai sa boardwalk. Sa villa lang daw muna si Alli kaya hinayaan ko na lang siya. We had to take wooden steps pababa sa beach. Hindi masyadong masakit sa balat ang araw kaya ayos lang tumambay rito. Malakas ang ihip ng hangin pati ang paghampas ng alon sa dalampasigan.

Pagdating namin sa dulo ng boardwalk ay narinig ko ang malalim na paghinga ni Kai kaya lumingon ako sa kanya. I saw him looked up then closed his eyes, inhaling the sea breeze. Pinagmasdan kong maigi ang side profile niya. His thick eyebrows, long lashes, pointed nose, thick red lips, and angular jawline. Everything about him screams perfection.

I smiled at myself when I felt the same kilig I had almost 2 years ago when I first saw him. This is the guy that I truly want. The guy that can make me smile without even trying. The guy I can see my future with.

He opened his eyes then looked at me. He smiled.

"Why?" he asked me.

"Ha?" nagtatakhang tanong ko.

He wrapped his arms around my shoulder, still looking at me.

"Why are you staring? What are you thinking about?"

"I'm just thinking about how lucky I am. The 'Kairo Gutierrez' is here with me?" I shook my head to show him my disbelief.

"And likes you. Only you." he whispered.

"Really?"

"Really, Oli. I don't care about anyone else. Aanhin ko ang mga babaeng pumapaligid sa akin kung hindi naman ikaw 'yon?" hinarap niya ako sa kanya then held both of my hands. "I am sorry for being so jealous. Please know that I just don't want to lose you."

"I understand, Kai. Basta alalahanin mo lang din yung sinabi ko sa'yo. Ikaw lang ang gusto ko." I assured him.

This moment with Kai made me forget anything else. Kung ano man ang nangyari these past few days, wala na sa akin 'yon ngayon. Kung ano man ang naramdaman kong kakaiba, wala na 'yon. My whole attention was with Kai.
