"What are your plans tomorrow?" tanong sa akin ni Fauve nang nakarating kami sa harap ng cabin ko.
Every step I take, I observe that even his scent smells familiar. It is very nostalgic.
I opened the door but I didn't step inside, I faced him instead.
Makisig na katawan ang bumungad sa akin. The first three buttons of his polo is open. I can barely see his chest inside. I'm too small for him. I'm just 5'3 and he's probably near 6 ft.
I looked up and saw his lips partially open. I looked away a bit.
"Halos maubos na namin ni Jungle ang libro sa library kaya siguro stop muna kami sa pagbabasa." sagot ko dahil 'yan lang naman ang ginagawa ko palagi.
It's not like the crew would let me do something. They won't let me clean, wash the dishes even the laundry. Tanging nilalabhan ko lang ay ang aking under garments.
"If you're free t
"Ouch," I whispered noong nasagi nanaman ang brason ko.Sa harap ko ngayon si Jungle at tinignan niya ako na nakahawak sa aking braso at para bang naaawa siya sa akin kasi panibagong sakit at pasa nanaman.He's not the reason why I have bruise, it's me. Hindi kasi ako sanay tapos wala silang sword na hindi matalim kaya no choice parin.I have an armor with me, nag long sleeves nadin panigurado lang. Ngunit punit punit na ito dahil nga sa espada. May mga daplis na din ako."I'm sorry binibini," Jungle said."No, no. It's not your fault. The show must go on." I told him and started attacking him again.He taught me the basic attacks and how to defend myself.One step ahead if I know I can beat the enemy, and attack. One step behind if I know I can't, and defend.Alam kong may mas ibibilis pa ang galaw
"Milady, you should stop tempting me." he whispered.Nalalanghap ko na ang kanyang hininga and believe me when I tell you na sobrang bango nun na para bang mas pipiliin ko nalang na langhapin ang hininga niya habang buhay.It is manly. It's like he's inhaling my soul."I am not," I told him. I cannot almost feel myself. Seeing him towering me makes me feel weak but safe.Nanatiling nakaparte ang mga labi ko kasi doon na ako humihinga dahil hindi ko na ata alam kung paano huminga ng maayos."Yeah? Maybe you should start closing your mouth and not parting your lips, because it is tempting me." he told me.Agad akong natameme sa sinabi niya.Anong ginagawa niya? Is he trying to seduce me? Well, I don't think he can. There's a lot of guys from my place trying to get me but no one did.Oh halt. No. There's this one g
"Kaya pa?" Alex asked me when I stopped for a second to wipe my sweat."Kakayanin," I told him and I get another arrow to shoot.Honestly, my body is already numb. I can't even feel my wound even if it is already bleeding.My hands are already red and swollen because of the force I'm giving out, but I shouldn't stop.Stopping by means I am giving up, and I don't want to give up.So far, archery was challenging yet fun and easy for me to learn. Alex and Xander helped me throughout the process of learning. I may fail at times but they don't scold me. They were so calm while teaching me.I don't know if it's because Fauve is watching us and they are just afraid to scold me because Fauve will also scold them.It took us 3 hours until I mastered archery.Pagkatapos namin, yumuko ako saka sinakop ang buhok
"What the fuck are you saying?!" sigaw ni Fauve sa babae.Months of being with Fauve and the crew, I never saw him this mad. He couldn't even raise a voice at us, but now, this Fauve is different.He's far from what I imagined. All my life, I've been bullied, I've been with a group of friends that never treated me well, I'd saw people leaving me, but this hurts the most.I got afraid. I imagined if I was the one he's shouting at, I'd be down and hurt.I never really wanted a man who shouts when he's mad or irritated. Iwant a man who is calm in whatever circumstances.But then I realized that I don't live in the world of fiction, I have to accept whatever this is. For now, I would like to run away from everything."What? It's true! You can't deny the fact that this is your child Maverick!" sigaw din sa kanya ng babae.I looked at the
We sat there in silence.No one spoke. No one tried to. No one dared to talk.I can almost hear my own breathing. I can feel my heart beating.I can also feel him. I can feel his presence. He's beside me but somehow I feel like I couldn't touch him.He feel so near yet so far. It was like an almost but not quite."What are you thinking?" I asked him to break the silence.One question that could get him closer because as much as I don't want to, my heart keeps telling me that I need to.I like him. I want him. I need him.I'm scared that I might lose someone again. I'm afraid that I will be left alone again."You," he answered.He's thinking about me. I wonder if he think of me the way I think of him.Like how I wish thin
"What a beautiful day!" sabi ko saka nag inat. It's been three days since Fauve and I are officially together. Simula noong naging kami, halos hindi na kami mapaghiwalay na dalawa. I also noticed that I've been distancing myself with Jungle these days. Mas nabibigay ko na ang lahat na atensyon ko kau Fauve. Kahit na nagbabasa lang naman ako ng libro, siya talaga kasama ko. Bumangon ako at ginawa ang mga dapat kong gawin bago lumabas. "Good morning, Milady," bati niya sa akin pagkalabas na pagkalabas ko palang. He's standing outside the door of my cabin. As usual, he's wearing his all black outfit that made him look hotter. He smiled at me when he noticed that I am checking him out. What a good start of a day."Good morning," bati ko din sa kanya saka naglakad palapit sa kanya at niyakap siya. "You smell so good in the morning," he whispered while burying his face on my shoulder. He also smell good in the morning. Wala namang bago. I may sound like I am so obsessed with him bu
"Bull's-eye!" sigaw nilang lahat. I wiped my sweat and look at them. Napatawa lang ako sa kalagayan nila ngayon dahil lahat sila ay parang namamangha parin. Lahat kami ay nagsasanay para mapaghandaan ang paglalakbay namin sa Caribbean Sea. Tunog ng alon, hangin, espada, at pana ang naririnig ko. Everyone is sweaty, everyone is busy. Well except for the Captain who is sitting there and watching us, pr should I say, watching me. I can see in Fauve's eyes that he's not surprised that I am good in archery. He looked so proud. I mastered archery. Hind ko alam kung sa genes ba iyon o sa skill talaga. Each day, we're getting nearer and nearer the sea where the Hellers are. Kailangan ko na ring sanayin ang sarili kong makipaglaban hindi na aasa lang ako lagi sa mga kasama ko. "Pahinga ka muna, Binibini." sabi ni Alex sa akin. Salitan sila ni Xander sa pagturo sa akin dahil mas gamay nila ang larangang ito. I sat beside Fauve who's watching me all the time and drank in his cup of water.
Mahimbing ang tulog ko dahil katabi ko si Fauve buong gabi. Maaga din akong nagising dahil hindi ako mapakali at para bang may bumabagabag sa akin. I get up and do my usual routine before going out. As usual, mga crew agad ang bumubungad sa akin pagkalabas na pagkalabas ko, pero ngayon, parang balisa sila na ewan. I looked at the surroundings, the sky was still gray, the ocean was still. Hindi din mahangin at parang strange 'yung feeling ko sa lugar na ito. Caribbean Sea was the first thing that comes up into my mind. Ito na ba iyon?I thought it's only in the movies to see the dark sky and to feel a strange feeling in this place."Magandang umaga, Binibini. Pinapatawag ka na po ni Kapitan sa hapag." sabi ni Jungle sa akin. Nagulat ako dahil ng pormal niya, pero sumunod nalang din ako. His boots are the only thing that is creating a spund as we head to the dining room. Pagkadating ko doon ay natahimik silang lahat. Binaba din ni Fauve ang librong binabasa niya at ngumiti sa akin
