Danny's POV

Bumaba ako sa hagdan suot-suot ang swimsuit na two piece na iniregalo sa akin ni Rose noong bridal shower. Actually, ngayon ko lang ito nasuot. Almost four years na 'tong nakatambak sa closet ko. Nakasawsaw na ang half body ni Lucas sa shower habang tumutulo ang mga tubig sa buhok at katawan niya. Why it's so hot in here?

She stared at me for a minute. "Let's swim?"

"Swim lang talaga, final na 'yon?" I teased. Nilublob ko ang paa ko sa pool at sobrang lamig pala talaga ng tubig. Nasa mababaw na part lang ako ng pool dahil palalim ng palalim kapag pumunta ka sa dulo.

"Don't you want to swim in the first place?" Tanong niya. Mukha siyang model ng head and shoulders. Lakas maka-ayos ng hair na pang-commercial.

Indoor ang swimming pool namin kaya walang araw o anuman. Masyado lang talaga akong maarte na nabanggit ko yung skin care kanina. Katamad kaya mag-swimming.

"If I'm not mistaken, Chaster teaches you how to swim, right?"

"He is, including driving and such." I answered.

"So, marunong ka na nga?" Hinila niya ako sa pool at nilubog sa tubig. Kung kanina nakaupo ako sa may edge, basa na ang buong katawan ko dahil sa kaniya.

"Argh. Parang tanga, Landon." Sabi ko habang hinihilamusan ang mukha ko. Pinagbabasa niya pa ako ng tubig kaya binasa ko nalang siya pabalik.

"So, just forgot that your husband was an athlete before?" He smiled.

"And yet didn't teach me how to swim." I hissed.

"Well, That's the time when Celestine and I married for some reasons." 

"Edi 'dun ka na sa Celestine mo, sama mo na rin yung Astrea." I rolled my eyes.

"So, You now turned into a jealous bee?"

"Bakit ako magseselos? Hindi ako nagseselos.Masaya pa nga ako sa inyo eh. Keep it up ah. Magsama kayong lahat." Pinalo ko ang tubig sa pool ng malakas kaya natalsikan siya.

Lumangoy ako papunta sa dulo. Laking gulat ko pag-ahon ko ay nasa harap ko na si Lucas at hinawakan ang dalawang balikat ko. What a handsome fast swimmer.

"Maybe, you need to practice. You know, Swims faster as your husband." Inayos ko ang buhok ko at nagkatinginan kami ni Lucas ng matagal. He's now staring on my whole face with his serious look. Maybe, there is always a time that Lucas looks more handsome than I thought he'd be.

He stared at me even more until his stares came down on my lips making him gulp. "W-what now?" I stuttered.

"Everytime I see you, You're just making me fall in love over and over again."

"But even dare to have a second woman, Landon?"

"I didn't know that I could make Astrea fall in love with me in just a blink."

"And yet you still fall with her." Sumandal ako sa pader ng pool at pinagmasdan ang tubig.

"Because she looks like you. Her vibes, her glance, her beauty and her actions. It all reminds me of you, Danny. I can't stop myself so please help me from this set-up."

"How? By sending her out?"

"By staying by my side everyday. Yun lang ang hinihingi ko, Danny. Yun lang." He said and took some deep breaths.
