#RTG04 Chapter 04

I, for sure, thought that Sean was kidding when he told me that we're going to Maldives... but then I remembered that I was talking to Sean! He's the fucking son of St. Matthew's owner. Of course seryoso siya sa sinabi niya sa 'kin!

And now, I was in my condo, quickly packing things! Nakaka-bili ba ng bikini sa Maldives? Or doon na ako bumili? Pero baka sobrang mahal doon! My God!

"I don't have new bikinis," I told him while simultaneously glaring at him. "You couldn't have booked a flight for tomorrow?"

Sean was calmly sitting on my couch. Dadaanan na lang daw namin on the way to the airport iyong gamit niya. I thought it was because he's already so used to going somewhere nang biglaan kaya may prepared suitcase na siya for every ocassion.

"The flight's either later or 2 days after," he casually said.

I wasn't exactly born from a poor family... pero hindi ko pa rin maintindihan iyong kung paano ka-casual gumastos ng pera iyong mayayaman. I swear, they're insane! Barya lang sa kanila ang isang milyon. I had this classmate na na-stress sa recit namin kaya right after class, dumiretso sa Japan para mag-unwind.

"Done?" he asked when I came out of my room, dragging my suitcase with me.

"Yeah," I begrudgingly said.

Sean smiled before standing up. He asked me if gusto ko bang siya na iyong maghatak ng suitcase ko and this time, I actually agreed dahil medyo mabigat din iyong handbag ko. Dumiretso kami sa condo niya. Nagpa-iwan ako sa sasakyan dahil sabi niya mabilis lang naman siya. Mabuti na lang talaga kakapa-brazilian wax ko lang nung isang araw! Nakaka-stress din talaga 'tong pagiging impulsive ni Sean, e.

While waiting for Sean, I fiddled with my phone to check kung may grades na ba or some sort of announcement... pero so far, wala pa talaga... Kaya naman I decided to deactivate my Facebook and messenger first dahil ayokong ma-stress sa kaka-isip tungkol sa grades ko habang nasa bakasyon ako.

"Ready?" Sean asked when he finally arrived.

I pursed my lips, but truth was, I was so excited! Hindi ko maalala kung kailan iyong huling bakasyon ko simula nung pumasok ako sa law school. I couldn't leave kapag may pasok tapos kapag bakasyon naman, I had to go home to my province para makita iyong pamilya ko...

Sean's really here bringing color into my dull-ass life.

"I guess," I nonchalantly replied, which earned me a crisp laugh from this impulsive and sexy as hell future doctor.

The drive to the airport took longer than usual. Halos maiwan na kami sa flight at tumaas talaga iyong anxiety level ko, pero itong kasama ko, sobrang chill lang! He probably thought na magbook na lang kami ng bagong ticket if maiwan kami... Grabe.

"Are you really this bored?" I asked Sean while we're waiting for our connecting flight in Singapore. If naisipan man niya na magbakasyon ako and sinabi ko na beach, hindi ba dapat first thought niya ay Boracay? Or Palawan? Kailangan Maldives agad?

"I've been meaning to go to Maldives for a while now," he just replied.

"So, you haven't been to Maldives?" I asked.

"Nope," he said. I pursed my lips. So... this was a first. Hindi naman ako bothered na hindi ako first ni Sean sa maraming bagay because going in this 'arrangement,' I knew what I was getting into. I didn't dive in with my eyes closed. I knew that this was all just for fun... until we'd decide that it wasn't. It's all consensual. Matanda na kaming pareho.

But I still believed that this was too much for a 'friend.'

Nang hindi ako magsalita, napa-tingin siya sa 'kin.
