Chapter 10
Ale pinched the bridge of his nose when he heard P’s voice. She’s using Taylor’s phone at hindi niya alam kung bakit. Sa background ay alam niyang nasa bahay ang mga ito. “Saglit lang, Ale. May inuutos lang si Tay sa kasambahay. Are you busy? I can call later—" “It’s fine.” Sinenyasan ni Ale si Leah na mukhang hindi natutuwang nabitin. She looked like she was ravaged. “Do you know why he needed to talk to me?” Leah was trying to work on Ale with those sensual kisses on his neck while he was on the phone. But whatever Leah is doing is not working for him. Kausap niya si P sa kabilang linya at pakiramdam niya ay mali ang ginagawa niya ngayon. They are not even dating. Daig pa niya ang nakulam. “I don’t really know, but he was on a another phone call earlier. Tay looked upset.” “Okay. Just give me a second,” sagot niya sa babae. Tinakpan ni Ale ang mouthpiece at hinarap si Leah. “I can’t today. Rain check?”Leah looked disappointed, but he can’t do anything about it. “Alright. I’m h

Chapter 11
Ale woke up from someone humming. He didn’t want to go upstairs to the guest room after his coffee so he stayed on the couch after Taylor left. Malayo na nga ang antok niya kanina ay uminom pa siya ng kape. He was reading an article on his phone when he received an email notification. It was from his brother and he’s pissed that Ale is not answering. Alejandro can’t take a hint, so Ale deleted the email and logged out. Hanggang sa mapagod ang mga mata niya at tuluyang naidlip. Nang magising siya ngayong umaga ay namulatan niya si P na kumakain ng almusal habang may sinusulat sa papel. He got up and walked towards her, pero hindi siya binigyan ng pansin nito. Sa laki niyang tao, imposibleng hindi siya nakita ni P. Hindi niya talaga maintindihan ang babae. Nang nagbreakfast sila ay masaya naman ito. Even when she called him yesterday afternoon, okay rin naman. Inisip na lang ni Ale na baka time of the month ni P. Naupo siya sa tabi nito at pinanood itong gumuhit. Bukod sa lapis, pambur

HIMAYA, SIARGAOThe waves looked beautiful. Pero mas maganda pa rin si Pietra. She had no make up on and there’s barely gloss left on her lips and yet, she looked stunning. Kahit ang pagkakatali ng ponytail niya ay hindi pinag-aksayahang gamitan ng suklay. Nakasuot si Pietra ng isang maxi dress na dilaw at kanina pa pinipigilan ni Ale ang sarili na sabihan itong magpalit ng damit. Kararating lang nila rito ay nag-attract na ito ng atens’yon. He didn’t like it one bit.“Hindi kaya mapulmonya ka sa suot mo?” Pietra snorted. “Sa init na ‘yan? Kahit magsuot ako ng two piece rito ay hindi ako sisipunin. My immune system is strong, Gambino.” Tinapik pa nito ng dalawang beses ang likod niya bago tinungo ang lobby. She knows his last name.Their things were brought to their suite. Pietra didn’t like the idea that they are going to share a room pero iginiit niya na may dalawang queen beds at hindi sila magtatabi pagtulog. Mas madaling bantayan ang babae kung nasa iisang silid sila. The bigges

"That was one good wave! Did you see me?" tanong ni P nang makalapit sa kaniya. Akala niya ay hindi na ito lulubayan ng mga nakikipagkilala. Kaunti na lang talaga at mauubos na ang pasensiya niya kanina. He was about to walk towards her and picked her up. Isasampay na sana niya ito sa balikat na parang sako. Mainit na nga ang panahon, mainit pa ang bumbunan niya. "It was a good wave and you did really well," puri niya sa babae. Saglit itong natigilan at parang na-shock. "What?" Damn! Did he say the wrong thing again? "Did you just give me a compliment?" Kumunot ang noo ni Ale. "You did, didn't you?" Tumawa si Pietra at saka naghalungkat sa bag. Napangiwi ito nang hindi makita ang hinahanap pero kaagad din nagliwanag ang mukha nang mapatingin sa hawak niya. "Uy! Akin na lang 'yan!" Kinuha ni P ang kamay niyang may kapit na flat tops. Isinubo nito 'yon at bahagya pang dumampi ang gilid ng labi nito sa kaniyang daliri. Shit. What she did was enough to set him on fire. Kakaiba talaga

Nang sumunod na gabi ay bihis na bihis si Pietra. She was wearing a turquoise maxi dress at nakalugay ang buhok nito. P had waves on her hair and aside from a little blush and lipstick, wala na siyang ibang kolorete sa mukha. “Where are you going?” Ale just went out for a walk. Nakatanggap siya ng tawag mula kay Estefan kanina at kinukumusta siya. Pauwi ito ng Pilipinas ng isang linggo at gustong makipagkita kung libre siya. “On a date.” P was putting on some bangles at saka isinunod ang manipis na hoop earrings. She looked absolutely stunning. “What? With whom?” Ale does not like this at all. Lumabas lang siya saglit, pagbalik ay may date na ito. “Emilio. He’s on vacation too. He saw me surfing yesterday then we bump into each other at the lobby earlier.”Lalong nagsalubong ang kilay ni Ale. Emilio is a man! Natural! May Emilio bang babae?“When?” Yamot siyang kumuha ng long sleeves at isinuot. It matched his black shorts perfectly. Hinarap siya ni P. “May date ka rin?” Hindi ni

Hindi siya pinansin ni P hanggang makapagbihis ito sa banyo at mahiga sa kama. Hindi naman niya ito ginambala sa date katulad ng sabi nito. What did he do wrong now? “Are you going to sleep mad?”“Hindi ako galit,” angil nito sa kaniya. Ale mouthed the word ‘wow’ silently. Hindi raw galit pero halatang halata sa tinig. Hindi na niya ito kinulit at nagpalipas na lang ng oras sa pagbabasa. Mabuti na lang at may WiFi. He’s reading something about poisonous spiders at the moment. Pagkaraan ng isang oras ay nakaramdam siya ng antok. P is already asleep. Nakaharap na ito sa kaniya ngayon at pikit. Kanina ay nakakumot ito pero nasipa na at ngayon ay nakabaluktot. Ale got up and fixed it. Nagtalo ang isip niya kung gagawaran ito ng goodnight kiss o hindi. In the end, he chose not to. Ayaw niya ng complication sa buhay niya and P is already getting him rattled with so many things. ***Nang matapos ang bakasyon ni P sa Siargao ay hindi ito tumuloy sa sunod na destination. Nag-aya itong umuwi

Ngumiti siya kay P. She was clearly challenging him at hindi siya bale para pumatol. By now, nakukuha na rin niya ang ugali nito. Mamaya ay baka masampal pa s’ya ng wala sa oras. Tumuwid ng tayo si Ale. “Do you want to go out for a stroll later? Ililibre kita ng ice cream.”P’s face fell. May nasabi ba siyang masama? He’s totally acting like a gentleman here. “If you don’t want ice cream, we can do halo-halo or mais con yelo. I want something cold.”Hindi siya sinagot ni P at sa halip, niligpit nito ang gamit. She stood up and walked away from him. Ano’ng nangyari roon? Napailing na lang s’ya sa babae. Baka nga darating na ang period nito kaya moody. ***Kung ayaw nitong sumama ay okay lang. Taylor is busy with business kaya hindi niya inabala ito. Nang sumapit ang alas dos y media ng hapon ay lumabas s’ya. His car is an attraction to this town at nang umibis s’ya ng sasakyan ay nabaling naman ang pansin ng mga tao sa kaniya. Isang maliit na canteen ang napili niya at saka naupo. L

Ale told P what happened at the canteen minus a few details. He made it sound like he was interested with Maui kahit hindi naman niya ito type. "You know what, you don't make sense. If you really like this girl, get to know her. Bring her flowers or chocolates or bilhan mo ng isang dosenang halo-halo. I don't get this fake girlfriend thing. Mga paandar na ganito ang kinayayamutan ko." P complained while he listened. Lulan sila ng kotse at nagmamaneho s'ya papunta sa canteen. Inaya nila si Taylor pero busy daw ito kaya hindi sasama. The weather in Sta. Monica today was a little hot for their liking at tamang tama ang halo-halo para lumamig ang mga ulo nila. In his case, pati 'yong nasa baba ay damay dahil dalawang gabi na s'yang hindi makatulog ng maayos. Nagigising s'yang pawis na pawis at laman ng panaginip niya si P. The woman is driving him nuts with those erotic dreams he's been having. "Then why did you come? Pwede ka naman tumanggi?" "And miss out on a good halo-halo? Beside

P was all smiles even after they left the canteen. Nakahahawa ang ngiti nito kaya imbes na dumiretso ng uwi, nag-stroll sila. They don’t know where they are, but as long as they have gas, they will keep exploring.They found a lookout and Ale parked the car. Excited na parang bata si P na lumabas ng kotse at tinanaw ang bayan ng Sta. Monica. “The view from the top is great.”Tumabi s’ya kay P at sumandal sa hood ng sasakyan. Tumingin s’ya sa babae. “Yes, it is.”Lumingon ito sa kaniya at ngumiti. “Thanks for the treat earlier. Okay naman ang acting ko?” Ale smiled a little and nodded. Acting or not, he thought she was a good kisser. "Have you been to West Palm Beach?" "Florida?" P nodded. "Yes, when I was younger. I went there with a few friends after high school graduation. I actually celebrated my birthday as well while we were there. I went back to New York after that trip then left for Australia the next day to attend university. That's how I met Tay." "W-Were you dating anyon

Napaamang si P at hindi 'yon inasahan ni Ale. Bakit parang nagulat ito? If she knew all along who he was, then she shouldn't look like this. "Remember in Florida? I was your first kiss." Hindi pa rin siya sumuko. Malakas ang kutob niyang ito ang batang babae noon. Kung bakit ayaw aminin ay hindi niya maintindihan. She smirked. "I don't know what you're talking about, but you can't be my first kiss. I had a boyfriend and his name is Romeo. We went to school together." Bigla siyang nakaramdam ng selos. "Romeo? If you're going to lie, pick some name that are not from a famous book or movie, Pietra." Tumawa ito at umiling. "Why would I lie? Ano naman ang mapapala ko kung magsinungaling ako sa 'yo?" And now, he is beginning to think he made a mistake. "Kung sino man 'yong Gambina mo, hindi ako 'yon kaya relax ka lang. Kung kayo talaga, magtatagpo kayo ulit." The woman even tapped his arm lightly a few times. "Tila na ang ulan. Umuwi na tayo at baka hinahanap na tayo ni Taylor." It's be
