The Perks of Loving a Faust (Perks Series #1)

21

Louis wake me up around six in the morning, urging me to get up and fix myself because he wanted to see the sunrise.

"I don't know that you love nature that much," pagbibiro ko sa kanya bago ako bumangon sa pagkakahiga ko.

When I look at him, he's already good to go.

"I just want to see it with you!" depensa niya sa sinabi ko.

Nagtungo na ako sa cr para maghilamos at magtooth brush bago lumabas at nakita ko si Louis sa kama namin hawak ang cellphone niya habang hinihintay ako. Kumuha ako ng pamalit ko, two piece bikini na pinatungan ko ng short at sando.

"Let's go," sabi ko sa kanya nang matapos na akong mag-ayos. Saglit niya akong tinignan bago kumunot ang noo niya.

"I don't really like it when you're wearing a short," naiiling na sabi niya sa'kin bago tumayo.

"We're in Bora, Louis." I reminded him. He just shrugged as we made our way to the sea-side.

Umupo kami sa buhangin, pumwesto siya sa likod ko kaya sinandal ko ang ulo ko sa ballikat niya.

Minutes fast and the sun is rising, I saw him get his phone and took a picture of it. I did the same so I have something to post.

"Hey," he called me, when I look back he's still holding his phone.

"What?" I asked him, not really sure kung saan ba ako titingin.

Sa camera ba ng phone niya o sa mga mata niya na nakatitig sa'kin.

"I love you!" I was taken back by what he said.

I can feel how my heart beats rapidly.

When I look at him, he's smiling at me, I try to hold my smile, not wanting him to see what is his effect on me but I failed.

Matapos naming manood ng sunrise ay nagsimula na kaming mag-explore sa beach. We try snorkeling, banana boat, speed boat kung saan muntik pa akong mahulog, and many more.

It was 4 in the afternoon when we decide to go back in our room. I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as my body feel our bed.

He wake me up around 8 in the evening, I still feel heavy. Nakita kong nakahain na siya ng pagkain namin.

"Kumain ka muna bago tayo matulog ulit, you must be tired." sabi niya bago umupo sa harap ng lamesa.

"Yeah, ang bigat ng katawan ko. Dapat ata bukas na natin sinubukan mag-island hopping." I answered.

Natawa siya sa sinabi ko. Because I was the one who push him to do it today dahil tanghali pa lang ay tapos na naming itry ang mga pwede naming itry.

"You were too pushy earlier, what happened?" pang-aasar niya kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.

"I regret! Ang sakit ng katawan ko, I badly need a rest."

"Kaya nga bilisan mo na kumain para makatulog ka ulit, ako ng bahala dito." I nodded at him, too tired to speak.

When I'm done eating, he's done too. Imbis na bumalik sa higaan ay tinulungan ko muna siyang magligpit ng pinagkainan namin.

"I can handle this," pigil niya sa'kin.

I look at him and pouted, I just wanted to help. Baka sabihin niya pinapahirapan ko siya kahit hindi pa naman kami mag-asawa!

"I can help," pilit ko pa pero umiling siya ulit.

"Binibini, isang karangalan ang paglingkuran ka kaya magpahinga ka na." I bit my lower lips, trying not to smile when I heard him call me binibini again.
