Agad akong bumalik sa mansyon at nagpaihaw ng mga pagkain kanila Precy. Jayson and I talked that we'll have fun here at the beach. I invited my friends to come with us in which they immediately agreed. Syempre sasama ang mga 'yon lalong-lalo na si Precy.

I shook my head when I remember her statement when I invited them.

"Aba! Talagang sasama kami. Pagkakataon ko na itong mapalapit sa sulmeyt ko," she said with so much enthusiasm that made us laugh. Tinapunan niya pa kami ng kanyang matalim na tingin pero sa huli ay nangiti pa rin naman siya.

Sa katanuyan nga ay siya pa ang pinaka-excited para sa mamayang hapon.

Panay lamang ang pakikipagkwentuhan at tawanan ko kasama ang mga kaibigan nang makita kong naglalakad papalapit sa akin si Nathan. He is extremely dashing in his navy blue shirt and slightly distressed jeans. I even inhaled the scent of his expensive perfume mixed with his manly body wash.

"Going anywhere?" tanong ko nang tuluyan na siyang nakalapit sa akin.

He nodded. "Do you want to come with me?"

"Saan?"

"I'll visit my cousin, Pierre. Kadarating niya lang kanina kaya balak kong puntahan."

"I would love to but..."

His eyes darted to my friends who are still busy preparing our food.

"Having a mini party?" he asked that made me nod my head.

"Farewell party para sa kaibigan ni Lia," ani Fara.

His eyebrows met. I held his hand and pulled him towards the place far enough from my friends. His eyes met with mine before he threw out a sigh.

"For Jayson?" he asked.

I nodded briefly at him. "We talked earlier. Nagpaalam na siyang aalis bukas ng umaga."

Pagkasabi ko no'n ay wala naman siyang sinabi pa. He wasn't looking at me while I am busy deciphering his thoughts. Nang hindi na ako makatiis ay hinawakan ko ang kanyang pisngi at muling pinaharap sa akin.

"What's wrong?" I asked but he chose to shook his head.

"Come on, Nathan. You need to tell it to me. Tell me what's bothering you."

"Alam kong dapat ay maging masaya ako dahil lulubayan ka na niya simula bukas pero hindi ko maiwasang hindi mag-alala."

"Mag-alala para saan?" tanong ko pero hindi naman siya umimik. "Kay Jayson?"

He nodded. I smiled as my hands find the way to his and I held it tenderly.

"Don't worry. Walang mangyayaring masama. Stop overthinking, okay?"

"What if I'll join with you?" he asked that made me frown.

"Nangako ako kay Jayson na sasamahan ko siya ngayong araw."

"You can still do that."

"Nathan, huwag na. Puntahan mo na lang ang pinsan mo. I'm sure you'll have a great time catching up."

He chuckled sexily. Napaiwas naman ako ng tingin at marahang kinagat ang aking labi.

Oh God! Why is my boyfriend so hot?

"Ilang beses na rin naman kami nagkita sa Maynila kaya hindi namin kailangan ng catching up," he said with his playful voice.

"Ok, fine," wika ko na nakaiwas pa rin ang tingin sa kanya.
