Embracing the Sea

A/N: this is unedited ... sorry for the grammatical errors.

It's a pleasant saturday. It's already afternoon at naisipan ni Toff na ilakad daw namin si Glaish sa park. That's why  I'm here in my room and preparing my clothes that I need to wear.

I just decide to wear a high-waist pants and croptop shirt, wala namang pakielam si Toff sa mga susuotin ko. He's not the kind of guy  na masyadong territorial, basta hangga't hindi ganong ka showy ay wala siyang pakielam.

Pupunta na sana ako sa banyo para maligo but someone hug me from behind.

I laugh when I knew it was Toff who hugged me from behind and we started swaying while Toff is humming the song "At my worst". These dats he started loving and singing that song while he is being sweet to me.

"Tayong tatlo lang mamaya, so baby, please don't mind anyone it's just the three of us. Okay?" He said to me and I didn't answer him, instead I lean my head in his shoulder and I close my eyes.

"I love you." Just three words but I feel like my world is now full of happiness and my heart is reacting so abnormally. He started kissing my cheeks.

I just let him do it, then I gave him proper space to kiss my neck and it makes my mind loose. I felt like I'm going to loose my mind.

Napatigil lang si Toff sa ginagawa ng biglang tumahol si Glaish na parang nadidiri sa nakikita. Toff sigh in defeat because I know that he is now in the state of wanting us to collide in each others system.

"Maliligo na ako. Maligo ka na rin." I said to him, while watching how he play with our baby. He look at me innocently.

And I know why did he look at me in that kind of way.

"No, baby. Go take a bath in the other bathroom." I said while emphasizing the word other to him.

He looks at me with a teary eyed eyes but I just laugh at him, because I find his giving up face so amusingly.

Tuloy na tuloy na akong pumasok sa banyo while I still have that smile on my face.

Nakarating na kami sa parke at napatingin naman ako sa ganda ng ulap. I really love looking at the sky, because of the thought that it's too wide makes me amaze.

Naglalakad kami at hawak hawak ni Toff and kamay ko habang ako naman ang may hawak sa tali ni Glaish. Glaish walks like a comfident dog, minsan tuloy naiisip ko na nahahawa na si Glaish kay Toff kapag nag tratrabaho, naka serious mode.

Bumaling ang atensyon ko sa bumitaw na kamay ni Toff. Kita kong humarap ito sakin habang naglakakad ng patalikod sa dinaraanan. He is grinning from ear to ear.

"Gusto mo bang kumain? Papainumin ko ng tubig si baby Glaish, kanina pa kasi tayo naglalakad eh." Sabi nito at masaya naman akong ngumisi sa kanya.

"Your treat. Ice cream." That's not a question but a statement.

He smile at me and snatch Glaish's rope and run while holding my hands in his right hand. Nagulat pa ako sa ginawa niya pero hinampas hampas ko lang siya dahil sa sobrang tuwa.

Alam na alam niya talagang hilig ko ang pagtakbo at kita ko namang natutuwa rin si Glaish, baka nabored na ito sa tagal ng paglalakad niya.

We stop in front of an ice cream parlour. I scan the menu while Toff find a perfect spot to eat. Hindi naman ganoon kalayo ang pwesto na kinuha niya, medyo gilid nga lang.

Umupo na kami doon at siya naman ay tumayo at tumingin sakin.

"What flavor do you want to eat, baby?" He said to me and I smile like an idiot to him.
