Shailene's POV
Clark went outside while I decided to just stay at our room. I really don't want to go outside. It's tiring and I just want to work.I'm cooking a prawn crackers when the telephone rang. Inilagay ko lang sa bowl ang prawn crackers bago ko sinagot ang tawag."Hello, who's this?" I asked."Aren't you bored there?" I heard his voice.I thought he wants go out alone why he wants me to go outside."Oh! Gosh, Clark. I really want to be alone. You can do what you want there." I said.I heard a small laughed at phone. I suddenly got insulted by that. Being alone is really good for me that's why I only have one best friend."Look, to make this clear. I'm not interested really to date you here but please save me..."Help? What kind of help he wants? He's old enough. Hindi naman niya ako kailangan. I ended the call by just that. I decided to watch a movie while I'm eating my prawn crackers and drinking the fruitshake na natira lang na ginawa niya kanina. I also opened the internet connection to connect my laptop. Yeah, I don't want to watch in the television. I can watch in my laptop only.As the internet connection opened. My phone rang and it's his Mygram account calling. What the hell? Is he really need me.I paused the movie before I answered his call. It's facetime and I saw him seating in a restaurant where he is."What is it ba?" I rolled my eyes."Can you please go down here? The girls here are so wild. They want to date me." he responded.I rolled my eyes again."It's up to you. I don't really care." I sarcastically smiled.He shook his head. "I thought we have a rule."I arched a brow. So, he really keeps that in mind, huh?!"You can do what you want." I said before I ended the call.I continued watching the movie. Hindi nagtagal ay nakatulog na lamang ako sa sofa. Hindi ko namalayang napahaba pala ang tulog ko. Nagising ako na madilim na sa labas at patay na ang laptop ko. Wala na rin ang pinaglagyan ko ng prawn crackers at fruitshake. Pumunta ako sa kusina at nakita ko siyang naghahanda ng pagkain.Halata sa mga mata niya ang gulat. I'm just wearing a sando and short. Medyo kita pa ang pusod at tiyan ko."You shouldn't wear that in front of me," he said.I rolled my eyes.Kumuha ako ng tubig sa refrigerator, ignoring what he said. Ramdam ko pa rin ang inis niya sa damit ko. I thought he's not interested to me, why is he's like this now?"Change now!" he ordered.I continued ignoring him. Umupo na ako and I started eating. Walang table dito kaya sa countertop kami kakain."Hindi ka ba magpapalit?" he asked.Hindi ko pa rin siya pinapansin. I just continued eating. Masarap pa naman ang pagkain pero para akong pinapagalitan ni Daddy sa ginagawa niya ngayon."Magpapalit ka o ako ang magpapalit ng damit sa'yo?" he threatened.May parte sa akin na natakot at kinabahan sa sinabi niya. I wiped my lips before I straightly look at him."Subukan mo," nakangising sagot ko.Tumayo siya at napabalikwas naman ako. Pumunta agad ako sa kwarto namin at nagpalit ng damit. I was so irritated nang wala akong mahanap na oversized t-shirt or anything. It's all revealing. Anong susuotin ko?I decided to opened his cabinet at nakahanap ako ng white plain shirt. Medyo oversized pa rin dahil mas matangkad siya sa akin.Lumabas na ako at pumunta sa kusina. Umupo na ako sa tapat niya. He's still looking at me and to the shirt I'm wearing right now."My clothes are all revealing." I said.After we ate. I volunteered to clean all of the dishes. Siya naman ay puro cellphone na lang sa sala. I think, doing his fast time.After I wash the dishes. I went to his side and I opened my laptop. Started reading some of our plans when the doorbell rang.I was about to stand but he immediately went there to open it. I think, it's his stuff. I continued reading in my laptop when he put a paperbag in my front.Kinuha ko 'yun at binuksan. "What is this?" I asked.He put his phone in his side. "You said, all of your clothes are revealing. There it is. Suotin mo 'yan." he said before he stand and walk towards our room.Gulat na gulat ako sa sinabi niya. Binilhan niya ako ng mga mga sleepwears. Anong meron do'n? I really thought, he respect me and he's not interested to me but why he's doing this.Clark's POVI swear, I'm not interested to her. I just don't want girls to ask me in date and I don't want to see her using some revealing clothes. I know na hindi 'yun bagay sa kanya.I did my night routine before I finally slept. Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin niya kaya natulog na lang ako kaagad. Paggising ko sa umaga ay nasa tabi ko siya. Mahimbing ang tulog. She's so pretty like an angel who's sleeping in my side.I heard the doorbell rang kaya tumayo agad ako para mag-toothbrush at manghilamos bago ko binuksan ang pinto at kinuha ang breakfast namin.Naligo muna ako habang hinihintay ko siyang magising para sabay na rin kaming mag-breakfast. Pagkatapos kong maligo ay nagbihis na ako and habang hinihintay ko siyang magising ay nag-open muna ako ng emails.I saw an email from my friend saying na may mga nakaantabay daw ng mga reporters sa labas trying to get scene and pictures of our honeymoon and kahapon daw is mga pictures ko lang, alone and some girls are talking to me at lumabas din daw sa balita na tinanggihan ko ang mga ito.When she woke up. She immediately went to comfort room to fix her self. Pagkalabas niya ay sinuklay naman niya ang buhok niya before she faced me."We need to go out for a date." I said before I went out.Pumunta ako sa kusina ay pinrepare na ang pagkain namin. Sinundan naman niya ako."Are you seriously asking me for a date?" she asked.Nag-timpla ako ng kape sa coffee maker bago ako umupo sa harapan niya."May mga sumusunod sa'tin na reporter. Trying to figure our honeymoon." I said.I heard her deep sighed. "Sa tingin mo, palabas lang ba ang lahat ng ito?" she asked.Natahimik ako. I really don't know what our parents' wants. Is this for show or something?"I don't know," I replied.We just continued eating. We're both silent and thinking. Hindi ko na alam kung ano pang gusto ng parents namin.Shailene's POVSelene chatted that she wants to visit a music class. Masyado pa siyang excited kaya nag-patianod na lang ako kasi wala naman akong gagawin.We were about to enter the door when I heard someone singing and playing a guitar. It was a familiar voice. Hindi ko lang alam kung saan ko 'yun narinig.Binuksan na nga ni Selene ang pinto and we saw Clark singing and playing a guitar. Nakapikit pa ito while strumming the guitar. I don't know what to say. Hindi ko naman akalain na kumakanta ito.Napatigil siya nang napansin niyang dumating kami. Puno ito ng gulat sa mga mata. Tumayo ito at nilapag ng maayos ang gitara bago ito tuluyang lumapit sa amin."I'm just here because of Xander. He owns this music class. Tumawag kasi siya, kakauwi lang niya galing U.S," he explained.Tumango-tango na lamang ako. As if naman na may nagawa siyang kasalanan. Tumukhim si Selene. "Uhm, I also invited her kasi 'yung kapatid ko, nandito rin and besides Xander is also my friend," Selene said.Ipin
Shailene's POVTinapon ko sa kanya ang isang gray t-shirt at short na nasa cabinet. Hindi ko alam pero nababaliw na siguro ang lalaking ito para gawin sa'kin ito. Hindi ko na talaga siya maintindihan. Sumobra na kami sa six months na usapan namin to be separated na sana pero nahulog na talaga ako and I don't know if he's words are still true. "Wear that clothes if you don't want it, marami rito. We're on my Island. It's a private island owned by of course, me! Not my parents but mine," I said.He laughed hard. "Why do you need to do this? Pinlano mo ba ito, Kendra? Have you seen what really happened?" Hindi ako sumagot.Hindi ko naman kasi talaga nakita ang nangyari. It's just what Selene said and this really isn't my plan. It's Selene's plan, kasalanan niya ito lahat and I agreed with it 'cause there's a lot of evidence that they send to me.Lumabas na ako ng kwarto at bumaba. Selene and Kiel are watching a movie on the television. Umupo ako sa tabi nila at nakasali."What happened
Clark's POVI don't know what's happening to me lately. I'm being possessive to her. Why am I jealous? In the first place, we don't even know if this relationship will work but surely I badly want this to work.Ilang ulit na siyang nagtanong kung bakit lumagpas na anim na buwan but we're still together. I want to hold on, wala akong balak na bawiin ito. "Sir, you have a business meeting abroad," Jefferson said, my secretary.Shit! I don't know if I want to go out of the country. Selene is a badass friend, parang wala akong tiwala kasi puro kalokohan ang alam. That Palawan thing wasn't really good buti na lang at walang nangyaring masama sa kanila. "That's on Thursday," Jefferson added.I nodded. "That's in London, right?" I asked.He nodded. "Yes, sir! That's in London," he answered.Sa dami ng ginagawa ko hindi ko man lang nabanggit sa kanya na flight ko na bukas. I'm now packing my things when she arrives."Aalis ka?" she asked emotionlessly.I stopped packing and I faced her. Nak
Shailene's POVIt's Friday and I really don't want to go to office. Pwede naman sigurong mag-absent diba? Tinatamad ako!Clark is not on my side anymore maybe he's eating breakfast. Bumangon na ako at umupo na lang muna sa kama when my phone rang. I answered it immediately. It's Selene! Ang aga aga pa. What's this na naman?"Hey! We're going to Palawan. Sama ka?" she asked.Palawan? Anong gagawin namin sa Palawan?"We're with our friends naman. Sige na! Pwede ka naman umabsent. It's your own company naman e," she added.Huh? Magpapaalam ba muna ako kay Clark? Anong gagawin ko?"W-wait, kailangan ko muna sigurong magpaalam?!" sagot ko.I was so shocked when Clark came out from our walk-in closet wearing his suit probably going to work. Nakataas ang kanyang kilay like he's waiting me to explain what he heard."Where are you going?" he asked.Naibaba ko ang telepono at kinabahan na nakatingin sa kanya. "Selene is asking me to go with them to Palawan," I said."Give me your phone," he sai
I really don't have any plans for today. Wala na rin masyadong pending works here. I already read some reports and it's all good naman. I was about to order food when Selene texted. Ano na naman kaya ang trip nitong kaibigan ko? Selene:I want to treat you to lunch.I was surprised by her message. She's not really like this. She's a girl who only wants late night gimik lalo na't, she's not working on their company. She's just living freely.Me:Sure. Where?I replied to her immediately because I think she has something to chika with me. She texted me the address and I immediately left my office to go there. Malapit lang naman and the place is good."Good morning, Ma'am. Do you already book a table?" the receptionist asked.I smiled. "I think so, I'm with Sel—" I stopped when the receptionist interrupted me. "Oh! It's VIP," she said.VIP? Is she regular here?Iginiya ako ng receptionist sa private room where my friend is. Grabe naman itong babae ito. In a private room pa talaga.Ther
Shailene's POVSunod-sunod ang call, text messages, and chat sa'kin ni Selene last night kaya tinawagan ko na siya agad para hindi na siya mag-alala pa. It's Saturday and puro nga walang ginagawa ngayon."What happened between you and Charles? Ack!" she giggled.I sighed. Sana ay hindi biglang pumasok si Clark kasi for sure nasa baba lang 'yun or just outside, sa pool side or lumabas talaga ng bahay."Shut up, girl!" I responded that made her become silent. "I don't know if you were informed by what happened last night but for sure hindi 'yun lumabas sa media because you know Clark. Muntik nang may nangyari sa'min ni Charles pero dumating siya." Lumabas ako sa balcony ng dahil baka biglang dumating si Clark at marinig pa ang pinag-uusapan namin ni Selene."What? That's bullshit! Ginagawa niya nga 'yun sa iba e,"I sighed.Ginagawa nga ba talaga niya ang gano'n sa iba or it's just me who's thinking na may nangyari sa kanila ni Nicole kaya hindi ako nagpapigil sa kung ano man pwedeng
