Can We Start All Over Again? (Completed)

Chapter 11

Nagbibihis si Caryl. She decided to wear a summer dress. Maikli ang tabas nito. Hindi umaabot sa tuhod niya kaya kita ang long shapely legs, medyo matangkad kasi siya. She stands 5'6. Hinayaan niyang nakalugay ang kanyang buhok.

Narinig niyang may kumatok sa pinto. "Si Zayn!" bulalas niya. "Ready ka na ba? Ok lang ba talaga na makaharap siya uli?" sunod-sunod na tanong ni Fritze. Di na niya ito nasagot dahil pinapasok na ni Sam si Zayn.

Huminga siya ng malalim tsaka hinarap si Zayn. "Just in time" she managed to say even though she's tensed and plastered a smile. "Let's go? bye girls" paalam nito then they walked out of their suite.

Tahimik lang silang naglalakd patungo sa beach hanggang sa sinapit nila ito. May bonfire na doon at may blanket na nakalatag sa buhangin at umupo sila doon.

The night is perfect. The moon is big and shining so bright. The sky was clear and studded with twinkling stars. Wala pa rin siyang imik. Trying to control her emotions.

"Hey, what keeps you quiet?" tanong ni Zayn.

"Nothing" she answered and looked away. "I know there's something bothering you" pamimilit pa rin nito. "Did you brought marshmallows?" pag-iiba niya ng usapan. "Yeah, I'll get it. Wait here" sabi nito at tumayo.

Pumunta ito sa mesa na may nakalagay na pagkain at drinks. "Grabe, di ko na talaga kaya. Parang sasabog na ako" sabi niya sa sarili.

"Love, here it is" sabi ni Zayn ng makabalik ito at iniaabot sa kanya ang marshmallows na nakatusok sa mahabang stick. Inabot niya iyon.

Umupo ito uli sa tabi niya. They grill the marshmallows. "I'm gonna miss this Zayn" sabi niya at kinuha ang marshmallows na medyo brown. And took a bite. "Me too" sang-ayon nito.

She calmed herself and she's feeling comfortable again with Zayn's presence. They talked, cracked jokes and laugh.

She's savoring this moment  because this is the last moment that she'll spend with Zayn. She's hugging herself, feeling a lil' bit cold. So Zayn pulled her towards him and cuddle her.

In his arms, she feels warm and secured. They silently watch the moon while holding eachother's hand. Then Zayn said "Your hand fits in mine like it's just made for me" he said in a sexy  husky voice.

"Oh my! I'm losing my control!" sigaw ng isip niya pero di isinatig.

Nilingon niya si Zayn. Then they stared at eachother passionately. Dahan-dahang lumalapit ang mukha ni Zayn. Ga hibla na lang ang distansya ng mga mukha nila. Caryl's having an arythmia and dyspnea. She can't help but to close her eyes and felt Zayn's lips touching hers.

His lips started to move and since it's her first kiss, she just mimic him. It was a breath taking kiss. She was cathching her breath when their lips parted. Now she's out of controll and courageously confess his love for Zayn.

"I love you Zayn. I know i shouldn't feel this but I can't stop it." Zayn's stunned.

Caryl's confession was like bomb. Di mapigilang mapaluha ni Caryl dahil sa nakikitang reaksyon ni Zayn. She expected it but it feels worse in the actual though.

"Hey, don't cry" pinahid ni Zayn ang luha niya. Di siya umimik at patuloy pa ring umaagos ang luha niya.

"I'm sorry Caryl pero talagang ayaw kong makipagrelasyon. I admit, the feeling is mutual but it isn't enough reason to ask you to be mine" prangkang sabi nito na mas lalong ikina-iyak niya.

"Zayn, I'll do anything just to have you" sabi niya habang lumuluha pa rin. "I'm sorry" ang tanging naisagot ni Zayn.

"That kiss, wala lang ba yun sa'yo?" sumbat ni Caryl kahit takot sa magiging sagot nito. "That kiss was special but I really can't commit myself into a relationship. I don't want the past to happen again" paliwanag nito.

"Whatever happened in the past Zayn, I swear it won't happen to us" pamimilit ni Caryl. Nilunok na talaga niya ang pride niya. She's  desperate now.

"It's not that simple" sagot nito. Agad na tumayo si Caryl at tumakbo pabalik sa hotel habang umiiyak pa rin. Sobrang sakit ang nararamdaman niya ngayon.

Tinanaw lang ni Zayn ang papalayong dalaga, hindi na niya ito pinigilan pa.
