Back To You (A NASHLENE fanfic)

Escort

I spent the rest of the hours lying in my bed. I couldn't even sleep. Naiisip ko palagi si Nash, ang nangyari kanina, at ang mga sinabi niya. Ginulo niya ulit ang isip ko like what he always does.

So Alexa and Nash broke up, huh? What does that have that concerns me? Bakit niya ako kailangang lituhin so that he can tend his own feelings? Damn guy doesn't know anything.

And what did I say kanina? I'm damned. Hindi ko dapat sinabi yun.
You can never be close to anymore, Nash. We're not the same as before.
Like what the hell was I even thinking?

"Shar..." Napabalikwas ako sa aking higaan ng makarining ng pamilyar na boses mula sa labas ng pintuan.

Ano na naman ba kailangan niya? Tigilan na niya sana ako, utang na loob. Should I just pretend that I'm asleep?

Hindi ko siya sinagot at nanatili akong tahimik.

"Shar, hey.. Look, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to..." Mahina niyang sabi.

Ano Nash? You didn't mean to what? Hurt me again? Fuck.

Maya-maya ay hindi ko na siya narinig mula sa labas. I sighed and felt as though nabunutan ako ng tinik sa dibdib. Ang hirap magpigil ng nararamdaman. Alam kong alam niyo rin ang pakiramdam na ganun. I wanted badly to open the door and punch him for whatever the goddamn hell he did to my heart again. But, do I blame Nash for this? This... this I'm feeling for him?

I opened my eyes hours later only to find out na gumagabi na pala. I found Caroline's note placed in her bed.

Anong nangyari at bakit basang-basa ang unan mo? Uy shar, magsabi ka naman. Anyways, kanina pa kami dumating nina direk. Nakita kita ditong tulog mantika talaga. I didn't want to bother you. Come by the sea when you wake up. We're having a food party plus night swimming. Magsoot ka ng sexy sabi ni Niko. Pakitaan mo raw sila ng katawan mo. Hahaha. Yey! Baba ka agad ha. -Car

I chuckled after reading Caroline's note. She's such a sweet sister to me. And Niko of course, they're like the siblings I never had. Caroline always looks out for me while Niko always makes sure na maganda ako araw-araw. Palaging masaya ang shooting days ko dahil sa kanila. I'm just really happy to work with them again.

I finally jumped out of my bed para makapaghanda na ako. Inaliw ko na lamang ang aking sarili sa pagpili ng masusuot ko. Pero kahit papano ay naiisip ko parin siya. Why on earth would he say those things to me? Maybe to him, wala lang iyun. But to me, it meant a lot of different things. At wala siyang alam.

After being satisfied of my outfit, I decided to go out of my room. I'm wearing a body tight crop top and a usual short shorts. This should be fine. Nagdala na rin ako ng shoal kasi for sure, it's gonna be cold out there.

Umugong ang tawanan at kantahan sa may tabing-baybayin. Nagsisimula na pala sila sa aming munting party. I heard several screams as I neared the group.

"Sharlene San Pedro, everyone!" Caroline announced as if I'm on a pageant.

Natawa naman ako sa reaksyon ng mga kasamahan namin. Pumalakpak sila at naghiyawan. Crazy people.

"Nakalimutan niyo yata ang escort." Biglang bulalas ni Nash sabay tungo sa tabi ko at lahad ng kamay niya.

Nash, please don't do this to me. Kung hindi lang gabi ay makikita na ang namumula kong mga pisngi. Kung nag break na sila ni Alexa, why's he like this? Like everything is fine with him? May gana pa siyang umacting ngayon. Ako naman itong tanga, nagugustuhan ko naman.

Napilitan nalang akong hawakan ang kamay niya dahil sa panunuyo ng lahat. Ang init ng kamay niya. Nakukuryente ako. I thought it was just the breeze sending me chills.

"Okay ka lang ba, Shar? Ang lamig mo ah. Nilalagnat ka ata." Nash looked at me with worried eyes after he touched my forehead.

Magkatabi na kasi kami ngayon sa isang wood log na inireserba nila para sa aming dalawa ni Nash. Matapos nung akting-aktingan namin kanina ay dumiretso na kami sa pag-upo rito. Kanina niya pa ako sinusubukang kausapin pero matipid lang ako sa kanya.

"Hindi. Okay lang naman ako. Sadyang malamig lang dito." Sagot ko.

"Kuha nalang kita ng isa pang shoal." He was about to stand but I protested.

"Wag na, Nash. I'm fine with one." Sabi ko.

"Punta muna ako kina Niko ha." Sabi ko sa kanya at akmang tatayo na sana pero this time, siya naman ang nagprotesta.

"Stay. I have something to tell you." And with that, I don't know why I stayed there to listen to what he has to say.

This better be good Nash.
