I started to walk away from him. I intende to walk by the shore and I hope wag na sya sumama pa sa akin. I'll go my own way and he'll go with his. 

"Xy!" he called. I didn't turn to look at him. 

"Xyra!" 

"What!" I yelled back. This time turning around to look at him. He stopped a this tracks, catching his breath. 

"Why are you so mad, Xy?" he asked  calmly. I rolled my eyes. "It wasn't my mistake if the towel fell off my waist, is it?" 

"Well..." I crossed my arms "If you've just locked the bathroom, I wouldn't have seen it!"

"Okay! I'm so sorry for that! Jeez, Xy. You're making a big fuss out of it. As if you hadn't seen mine before." My jaw dropped with what he said! I tried to voice out but nothing came out of it. I was deeply shocked! 

"Urghhhhhhhhhhh!" I blurted and turned my back on him while stomping my feet. Damn him! Nagawa pa niyang sabihin yun? He's trying to bring up the past. 

"Xy! I was just kidding!" he called out again.

"Oh, really! Very funny, dumbass!" I yelled back without turning. Bwiset! Subukan lang niyang lumapit sa akin mamaya. Baka masuntok ko na talaga siya! LECHE.

Lakad lang ako ng lakad hanggang sa nakahanap ako ng bakanteng duyan. Umupo muna ako sandali at chineck ang phone ko. Punta agad ako sa gallery at tiningnan mga past pictures kasama si Kersey. I miss my baby so much. Napapangiti na lang ako hanggang sa...nakita ko yung picture kasama si Miguel. It's the three of us. Me and Miguel carrying Kersey. Kamusta na kaya siya? I also miss him. Before I left U.S, he told me he'd be home by Christmas. I hope he'll keep his promise. 

I was about to lock my phone when I received a call from...Miguel! Sa sobrang excitement, sinagot ko agad. 

"Miguel!" 

"That's so unusual of you to call me by name, love." he chuckled. Aw. There he goes again with his endearment. 

"I miss you." I said.

"I miss you more, Xy. How's Kersey?" Ow, I forgot to tell him about this trip. I hope he doesn't get mad. 

"Kersey's fine. Uhh, love. I forgot to tell you. I'm in Subic right now with Bianx and the others. Sorry." He became silent for a second. I hope he's not mad. 

"Hmm. I see. Is...he with you?" he asked with hesitation. I know what he meant. I just can't answer him directly. And I don't why. But then I don't wanna lie to him.
