Chapter 51
"you dare pinch my cheek?" he asked seriously and I swallowed hard.
"so..rry?" I said and he smirked, I know what that smirk means. Oh no.
"tama na!" I said while he tickled me at pinipigilan kong huwag tumawa ng malakas, "ganyanan na pala ah" I said and I tickled him back and we laughed ng papigil.
"ehem" nagpause kami ni Bryce and we looked at where that sound came from.
"hi Renee" I said habang nakapinch padin yung kamay ni Bryce sa pisngi ko. Then we let go of each other.
"I came down to get some milk" sabi niya.
"walang milk eh" I said, "kaya rin ako bumaba"
"oh" she said and she looked at me then kay Bryce. Oh no, please don't tell me na nagseselos siya, "I'll go up then"
"Renee-"
"I'll read something nalang" sabi niya without looking at me.
"oh.my.gosh" sabi ko then tumingin ako kay Bryce, "nagselos ata"
But he just shrugged his shoulders.
"I feel so bad" sabi ko at dahan dahan akong umupo.
"wala kang ginawang masama, iba lang ang inisip niya" he said and he sipped his coffee.
"we..we have to explain to her" sabi ko and I stood up but he held my hand.
"bukas na, hindi kayo makakapag usap ng matino ngayon. Let her cool down" sabi niya.
I thought for a moment, tama siya, I'll let her cool down. So I sat back again and he let go of my hand.
"you said..you like someone else?" I asked him.
"mm" he said and he stared at his cup.
"who?"
He sighed then looked at me.
"you don't want to know"
"I do! Come on tell me"
"okay, I'll tell you a secret"
He leaned closer para may ibubulong ata so I lean closer din and I feel so excited kasi he's going to tell me secret.
"secret" he whispered and he stood up, leaving me na nakalean forward pa din.
I can't believe it so I just face-palmed again.
Tumawa siya ng mahina saka ginulo yung buhok ko, "umakyat ka na" utos niya then bigla akong tumayo.
"aakyat na talaga ako dahil wala kang kwentang kausap, hmp!" I stomped my feet and I went up, nadinig ko pa siyang tumawa ng mahina. He is so impossible! Nakakahigh blood!

"good morning dear!" bati ng isang napakagandang babae.
"am I dead?" I murmured while half asleep.
"what? Of course not! Why?"
"Mary Jane? Oh, I thought you're an angel" sabi ko and she giggled tapos hinila ako para bumangon.
"gising na, pumunta na yung mga boys sa beach para manghuli ng isda" she said and all my sleepiness flew away.
"why didn't you say so!? Tara na!" I said and jumped out of bed.
"urg! Shut up!" sabi nung dalawang girls sa kama and I pulled off their blankets.
"ano ba! I am still sleepy!" sabi ni Liezyl and I wore my flip flops.
"bahala ka na jan!" sabi ko kay Mary Jane and I happily went down and I ran hanggang sa beach.
"guys! Guys!" I shouted sa mga boys na may hawak hawak na rope.
"good morning princess!" bati ni Jason and he rubbed my hair and the others did the same.
"what are you guys doing?" I asked happily while combing my poor hair with my fingers.
"kumukuha ng isda" sabi ni Ilong. They are all wearing shirts and shorts while I am still in my Hello Kitty pajamas.
"naghilamos ka naman sana" sabi ni Kalbo.
"naexcite kasi ako nung sabi ni Mary Jane na kukuha kayo ng isda, asan yung iba?"
"hayun" turo ni James sa kabilang banda. Tulad ng ginagawa nila Jason, may hawak hawak din silang rope na parang makikipag tug of war but the rope goes straightly sa beach.
"what's that?" I asked them.
"a rope?" sagot ni Kurt.
"what are you doing with it?"
"actually, it's a net" sabi ni Jason at hinila ako para makihila din, "see those?" he pointed sa tatlong boats not far away from us, "they are keeping the net up and we hoist it back to the shore" he explained.
"ohh" I said while nodding then I helped them pull the rope, hindi naman mabigat and habang we are pulling it, lumalapit din kami sa iba pang grupo.
"Good morning princess!" bati nila habang pagod na pagod sa kakahila.
"good morning!" bati ko habang hingal na hingal din ako.
Then the girls came down wearing shirt and short so ako nalang yung nakapajama.
"wow! Andami!" I exclaimed while looking at the fishes in the net na tumatalon talon.
"Lexa, tignan mo oh" sabi ni Pekto and he showed me a blue fish sa kamay niya.
"omg! we should keep that alive!" sabi ko and saktong may hawak si Allen na timba na may lamang tubig at iba pang colorful fishes.
I am so happy to see a lot of fish! Lalo na't pinaghirapan namin! Nabasa narin ang baba ng pajama ko but I don't care.
Kinuha nung iba yung mga milkfish and others while and kinuha naman namin ni Allen at Elias yung mga colorful fishes lang at shells naman sa mga powerpuff girls, then I realized something.
"where's Renee?"
"you don't know? Maaga siyang umalis kanina kasi may emergency daw" said Liezyl habang nagpupulot ng shells.
"oh," I said, bakit hindi siya nagpaalam sa akin? "is she alright?"
"yes, sa family business lang naman nila yung emergency" sabi ni Mary Jane na nilalaro yung jelly fish.
"huwag mong laruin yan!" sabi ni Jason sa kanya.
"why?" asked Mary Jane.
"it's poisonous!"
"oh" sabi niya at binitawan niya yung sticks na pinangchachopstick niya sa jelly fish.
"tara" sabi ni Bryce and he carried yung isang timba na puno ng fish, "magpalit ka na rin" sabi niya sa akin and I looked at my poor pajamas.
"key!" I exclaimed and we went back to the house and we grilled the fishes.
"let's buy an aquarium" sabi ni Allen habang pinapanood namin yung mga isda sa timba.
"we will" I said.
"dapat yung malaki" sabi ni Crystal.
"Bryce, can we get a big aquarium?" asked Nathaniel habang sinusubukang huliin yung orange na fish.
"sure" sabi ni Bryce na namumula na nang mga mata dahil sa usok.
"yey!" we exclaimed.
--
5pm na nung nakarating kami sa bahay and we were so drained. Wala ni isa sa aming anim ang may gustong tumayo at humiga nalang kami sa couch kahit nagsiksikan na kami nina Allen at Nathaniel.
"I don't want to move" sabi ni Nathaniel.
"I want to sleep" sabi ni Allen.
"I want to eat" sabi ni Kurt.
"I don't want to cook" sabi ni Jason.
"mm" sabi ni Bryce.
"he means 'I don't want to speak" translated Nathaniel.
Then we heard a girl moaning in pleasure and we all looked at each other.
"who's that?" I asked and I tried to look where it came from.
"your bag" sabi ni Kurt at ipinasa sa akin ang bag ko.
"of course" I sighed and took out my phone and they chuckled so I glared at them, "hanggang ngayon, hindi ko parin alam kung sino sa inyo ang laging nagpapalit ng ring tone ko.
"not me" they said in unison and I went out to answer my phone.
"yellow?" I said
"let's talk"
"Renee?"
"yeah, it's me. Nasa labas ako ng gate niyo"
