"Tell Wave to eat his meal, may ramp na mamaya pagdating sa isla," I overheard him say.

My eyes almost twinkled.

Positive! Wave Nievarez is here!

I bit my lip, suppresing my smile. Nang makitang pumasok siya sa isang kwarto ay mabilis akong nagtago sa gilid at nangiti pang lalo nang makitang naiwan niyang may siwang ang pintuan.

I hid just at the side of the door, taking a peek inside and my mouth parted when I saw the man talking to someone on the couch.

"Wave, bakit ba ang kulit mo?" ani nito at humalukipkip.

Oh... Wave!

My inner voices were screaming and doing a happy dance!

"What did I do this time?" I heard a deep, baritone voice.

I almost shrieked! Oh my God!

"What did I tell you about roaming around the yacht?!" He hissed. "Gracious, Wave Aeden! I almost had a heart attack looking for you!"

"I'm just looking at the place, no harm done,"

"No harm done but I almost died!" The man exclaimed. I heard a deep, husky chuckle.

Nasapo ko ang bibig at tumitig sa lalaking nakaupo sa sofa ay naka-side view mula sa akin habang nakasandal doon.

"Calm down, Justin,"

"How can I calm down, asshole?"

I heard Wave chuckling. I chewed on my lip.

I had a glimpse of Wave's face and my heart swayed. Matangos siya. Maputi pero halatang nahalikan ng araw ang balat kaya tanned. His lips tugged for a small smirk as he looked at the annoyed man.

"And what did you see outside? Ano, pagkatapos mo kaming ipahanap sa 'yo sa buong yate?"

Wave brushed his blonde hair with his fingers and put his arm on the armrest of the sofa and I couldn't help but notice his muscular build!

"Nothing," ani Wave. "Just some...clumsy people."

Ngumuso ako sa sinabi niya kahit 'di naman ako ang tinutukoy niya.

Medyo nakakasakit, a? Hindi naman ako ang sinabihang clumsy but I am guilty as charge how clumsy I am! Tanggap ko 'yan!

"Kumain ka na, may ramp kaagad mamaya," ani no'ng lalaki kanina, I think his manager? Who is also handsome.

Justin, I think.

Muli akong sumulyap kay Wave at tumitig, I wanna see him close. Not in the photos or in this angle but close.

I like looking at people, I like talking, making friends at okay, fine, gusto ko tumingin sa mga pogi. Sino ba namang hindi, 'di ba?!

Mabilis kasi ako ma-distract! At sabi ng mga pinsan ko'y mahirap ako kausapin at kapag nagkikwentuhan kami outside and I saw someone good-looking, nagiging HD ang mata ko. Target lock!

"How about the press later?"

"We'll take care of that," sagot no'ng manager niya.

"Good." He sighed.

"No reporters. No interview. I got it," he informed. Wave nodded with contentment, sipping in his glass of liquor.

I chewed my lip.

It'll be hard for them, pati sa 'kin. They were making sure. Crystal clear that they wouldn't entertain any attempts.

I can do this. You can do this, Zire! He can't know your profession! You got in here as a guest! For vlogs! To feature the island! Mahihirapan silang alaming reporter din ako't may backer naman akong 'di ako ang usual columnist! Kaya nga ako ang pinili para malinis ang background!
