Red Strings of Fate (Haunted Series 2)

Strings 14: Their Ultimate Plan

"Ethan organized this for them. He was completely on board with what your friend suggested." Tawa ni James at lumabas na.

I gaped looking back at Lorraine, "Beh, big shot yung jowa ng tropa na'tin."

I shouldn't be shocked since they're in the same specie as a Del Valle pero what the fuck lang! It's a luxury yacht with two levels. The vessel was royal blue and white, very sleek. Napanganga nalang ako habang umaakyat sa hagdanan.

James lead us into the main deck kung saan namin naabutang naka upo ang mga lalake sa puting couch. 

"Evan, help me with the drinks bro." Tinawag niya ang kapatid at tumayo si Evan para tulungan si James na kunin ang cooler sa sasakyan niya. 

When he passed by me, nakakunot ang noo niya sa'kin.

Jusko. I almost forgot I spread rumors about them having sex in the bathroom of the company I worked for. Umiwas agad ako ng tingin, biglang nahiya. Ugh, my regrets in life.

Nakipag kumustahan si Lorraine kay Chance at nag-uusap sila nang lumapit si Mark, "Hi, I didn't catch your name before."

Tumayo siya para makipag kamay sa'kin, "Scarlet."

"Ohh so you're the Scar? Nice name dude." I'm Scar? Sinong nagkkwento sa kaniya about sa'kin? "My name's Mark."

"Yeah, I remember. Nice to meet you." Tango ko at ngumisi.

"There are three cabins down there, you girls could occupy the one on the right." Tawag ni Ethan habang may hawak siyang bote ng alak. 

I looked around the boat and there was a tight staircase leading down to the cabins he pointed. There's also a bar on that side, then in front of it is a long table, and the white long couch on the opposite side where they were seated a few seconds ago.

"Are they on the way?" Tanong ni Chance at tumango si Lorraine habang naglalakad papunta sa mga stool.

"Yeah, I think they'll be here any minute now." Umupo siya at tinanggap ang bote na ibinibigay ni Chance, habang tinitingnan din ang ibang naming kasama, "So... ano ang plano na'tin sa dalawa?"

We began talking about the two, at hindi pala alam ni Evan kung anong mangyayari. Napailing ako sa tawa nang malaman ang balak na gagawin para sa kanila. Nang bumalik sina James at Evan bitbit ang cooler, we all shared secretive smiles on what's about to happen because minutes later, I heard a car approaching at alam kong dumating na ang mga kaibigan ko.

"Woooooooooah. Ang gara sinong may ari nito?" Rinig kong boses ni Rossana habang umaakyat and I swear my heart raced from what's about to happen. Hindi ako sure kung anong irreact ng kaibigan ko.

"Paandarin niyo na dali!" Lorraine pushed Chance up and the latter ran up to, I guess, inform the captain to start the yacht. The guys—except Evan, laughed at him for panicking.

Nang makita ang tatlo kong kaibigan na unti unti nang nakikita sa hagdanan. I could also see Rossana's expression grow from excitement to irritation from seeing her boyfriend. 

Tumayo ako para salubungin sila pero ang taray ng ekspresyon ni Rossana na 'di ko siya malapitan. The twins stood up but they also stayed in place. May rawr energy si Rossana at the moment.

"Bakit andito 'yan? Bakit..." Kumunot ang noo niya at tiningnan kami na parang trinaydor namin siya. "Kayo mag kagagawan nito noh?"

Napailing si Ellena habang hinihilot ang sariling noo, Lorraine apologized, I smiled, and Rian shook Rose's shoulders, "Surprise!"

She glared at us and made a move to go down the stairs, "Aalis na ako."

"Too late." Lorraine spoke at rinig namin ang biglang andar ng makina. Seconds later, we're already departing from the port.

"Sabi niyo maliligo tayo sa dagat!" She looked disappointed at tinitigan ko siya, hindi makapaniwala. Kung hindi niya naamoy, hindi niya ba nakikita na nasa yate kami sa gitna ng dagat?

"Gaga we are!" Marianne grabbed her na parang bata and dragged her papunta kung saan nakaupo ang mga lalake. "Sige na babe. Since we're already here, let's enjoy this time to chill from the stress you're all feeling."

Chill from the stress? I glanced at James who I caught staring at me. How can I chill with him here, eh siya ang source ng aking stress?
