GAILLE NAM's POV
Nandito kami ngayon sa Beach House. It's been months when he apologized to me. And now, we're still together.
Nandito pa kami sa loob ng kwarto niya sa Beach House. Cuddling each other's company.
"Hindi pa ba tayo lalabas?" -tanong ko sa kanya.
"Gusto mo na lumabas? Ayaw mo na akong kayakap?" - malambing na sagot niya. I just love his morning voice.
"Kanina pa tayo hindi lumalabas, baka kung ano na iniisip nila sa ginagawa natin dito."
"They should mind their own businesses." -sabi niya at mas nilapit pa ang sarili niya sa akin.
"I love you." -he whispers.
Magrereply na sana ako pero tumunog yung phone niya. Kinuha niya yung phone niya.
It's an unknown number.
"Lemme answer that for you." -sabi ko sa kanya at kinuha ang phone niya sa kamay niya.
"No... no." -pinigilan niya ako. Kukunin niya sana ang phone niya sa kamay ko pero inilayo ko 'to sa kanya.
"Bakit? Sino ba 'to?" -tanong ko sa kanya.
Hindi niya ako sinagot ang anong ko kaya sinagot ko na lang yung tawag.
[Unknown #: Baby, bakit ang tagal mong sagutin?]
Babae ang boses ng kabilang linya. This is really dissapointing. BABY pala huh!
"Sino 'to?" -sagot ko sa kabilang linya.
[Unknown #: This is Lucy. Who are you? Hand the phone to---]
Hindi ko na siya pinatapos sa pagsasalita. It's Lucy. Bakit may number siya kay Lucy? I mean... Paano nalaman ni Lucy ang new number niya?
"Lucy? Bakit may number ka sa kanya?"
Hindi niya ako sinagot.
"Bakit tumawag siya sa'yo?" -tanong ko ulit sa kanya.
"I don't know why she was calling. I don't even answering her calls. I swear, Gaille." -sagot niya sa akin.
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gusto kong sabihin.
"Wag kang magsinungaling."
Sa tono niya kanina, I know nagsisinungaling siya.
"Okay, fine. I answered her call once."
"Kailan?"
"2 days ago."
Medyo nawala ang mood ko dahil sa pagsipot na naman ni Lucy.
"Tapos?"
"She asked me of we could meet up. I don't know what her reason is but I told her alredy, never."
"Bakit tumatawag pa siya sayo?"
"Hindi ko alam. Masyado siyang mapilit."
"Bakit baby yung tawag niya sayo?"
"Hindi ko alam sa kanya. Yun naman yung tawagan namin nung una. Gaille, wala talaga akong idea bakit tumawag siya sa akin. This started a week ago. I didn't tell you about this because I know you hate her and I also hate bringing up and talking about my exs. I'm sorry, I just don't want us to fight because of this."
"Okay." -yun lang sinabi ko. Bumaba na ako sa kama pero pinigilan niya ako.
"Are you mad?" -tanong niya.
"No, I'm happy. Can't you see it?" -maypagka sarcastic na sagot ko sa kanya.
"Gaille, I know you're mad. Please, don't be. Ayokong nagagalit ka sa akin. It kills me. I will change my number exactly later. Look, this is my sim card. You can break it or throw it anywhere you want." -inilagay niya yung sim card niya sa kamay ko.
"Okay, V. Let's forget about this. Hindi na ako galit." -sabi ko sa kanya.
Alam ko na tina-try niya na hindi kami mag-away.
"You're not mad at me?" -he asks and a smirk plastered on his lips.
I just nodded at him as a response.
"Then kiss me." -sabi niya sa akin.
Without hesitation I locked my lips against him. The way him kissing me makes me feel that he really love me too. The way he slide in his tounge inside my mouth makes me feel that I want him more.
Tumigil na ako sa paghalik sa kanya.
"Gutom na ako."
"You can eat me then." -sagot niya sa akin.
"Don't joke around." -natatawang sabi ko sa kanya bago bumaba sa kama.
"Gaille!" -tawag niya sa akin.
Tinaas ko ang kilay ko sa kanya.
"One more, please." -he begs.
"Later."
Pumunta na ako bathroom to take shower and made sure that I locked it. I take off my clothes and wrap my body with towel.
"Oh damn!"
Nagulat lang naman ako sa appearance ni V dito sa loob ng bathroom.
"Don't curse at me, babe."
"Anong ginagawa mo? Tinakot mo ako."
"I'm sorry. I just want to tell you don't lock the door or you will lock inside here forever."
"Bakit?"
"Haven't you remembered? Nakulong na tayo dito. Hmm? Bakit mo pa nilo-lock? Tayo-rayo rin naman ang nandito." -sabi niya sa akin and again he showed me that smirk of him.
"Okay, okay. I get it." -sagot ko sa kanya at tinulak na siya sa labas.
"Wait!"- pigil niya.
"Ano?"
"I love you." -sabi niya at niyakap ako.
"I love you, too."
"You know Gaille, I'm very lucky and thankful to have you. Thank you for everything. You forgave me and even accept me in your life despite of all the things I've done. I thought I will be forever alone and single with all my life haha. My ex's, I did nothing wrong but I always end up being cheated. I guess they never loved me. I'm happy that you're here for me."
"You're so drama." -joke ko sa kanya.
"I know babe. It's just too good to be true to be with you right now right here with me. I hope you won't leave me. I don't know what to do if that will happen. I am afraid to lose you, Gaille. I can't keep going without you. I can't find another someone who will love me and accept me as I am the way you do. I mean it. You love me, don't you? Please, tell me." -lumayo siya sa pagkayayakap niya sa akin para tignan ako sa mata.
"I love you, V. Alam kong alam mo yan. I will always be here for you just like before." -natawa siya sa sinabi ko.
"I am looking forward for a future with you. I want you to be my wife and the mother of my kids. I can already picture you out with my children. I can't wait to be at the right age." -sabi niya sa akin.
Hindi ako makapaniwala na nagiisip si V ng ganun.
"Oh okay. By the way, your engagement with Kaylee?" -biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang engagement niya with Kaylee.
"I didn't accept it. Never. They even told me Kaylee was pregnant. I don't know if it's true. I think they let me be with Kaylee because she is pregnant and they want me to be the father, I guess. Well, they better fuck off. I won't take a child that is not from me and not even mine. They thought I love her, well no. She is evil, a bitch rather." -sabi niya at tumawa.
"Oh! Watch that mouth of yours."
"Okay, you take shower first. I'll be waiting outside." -sabi niya at lalabas na sana.
"No, take shower with me." -sabi ko.
"I think it is not a good idea. Are you sure?"
I just nodded at him. I unwrap the towel and hang it. Tinignan niya lang ako. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nasa expression niya.
"Oh damn sure." -sabi niya at hinubad ang damit niya.
Nauna na ako pumasok sa loob at sumunod naman siya.
"Damn it! I didn't know my girlfriend is hiding this kind of figure." -he says wrapping his arms around my waist.
"I know."
Inilagay ko din yung kamay ko sa leeg niya.
"Just shower, babe. Please, don't do things that could turn me on. We're not ready for this." -he begs.
"Okay. I just want a kiss." -sabi ko sa kanya.
Without waiting for his response, I pressed my lips against his already. Mabilis lang din naman.
"That was good." -he says licking the bottom of his lip.
"So, let's take our shower together now?"
"Sure."
Nagsisimula pa lang ang relasyon namin at alam kong marami pang pagsubok ang aming pagdadaanan. I'm ready with it basta siya ang kasama ko. I'm happy, V is now smiling the real one and I'm also happy to be with him. It's also just too good to be true.
