UNBEKNOWN FEELINGS

CHAPTER 15

CHAPTER 15

SASHA STAYED in the bathroom for about twenty minutes just to avoid Duke Ashton Vega. She know he'll just tease her to death so better stay in the bathroom until he's gone. She was now wearing her blue bikini inside. Saka nalang siya magsusuot ng cover kapag nakalabas siya dahil nasa travelling bag ang gamit niya. After deciding for a while, she stepped out in the bathroom and roam her eyes to find him. Gladly, there's no Duke inside and it seems that he's now outside. Enjoying the beach.

Tuluyan na siyang lumabas ng banyo at tinungo ang bag para kunin ang itim niyang cover up at mabilis itong sinuot. She also get her sunies before she sat in the sofa. Hawak niya ang phone at matamang tinitingnan ang nag-iisang family picture na naka-save sa phone niya.

"Merry Christmas." She uttered while staring at them lovingly.

It's now twenty-fourth of December and later at twelve midnight, it's finally Christmas. Kung tutuusin, ito ang unang beses na hindi siya nakapag-celebrate na wala ang pamilya niya. Ito ang kauna-unahan na iba ang kasama niya at sa lahat ng tao ay si Duke pa talaga.

He must've be thankful. Hmp.

She swipe her phone and smiled inwardly when she saw Ashton. Nakaupo ito sa sofa at kumakain ng Ice cream. Alam nitong kinukunan niya ito ng litrato pero hinayaan lang siya nito.

"I miss you, Ashton." Hinaplos niya ang picture at humugot ng malalim na buntong hininga bago tumayo at binalik ito sa bag.

She won't bring her phone in the beach. Gusto niyang mag enjoy ng walang gadget at mamaya nalang siya kukuha ng litrato tutal maaga pa naman at maraming oras para gawin iyon. Hinayaan niyang nakalugay ang kanyang buhok nang makalabas siya at tinangay iyon ng ihip ng hangin.

A relief sighed escape her lips. Finally, nakaramdam din siya ng kaginhawaan matapos ang trabaho na tinapos niya para sa araw na ito. It feels like vacation. Once in a lifetime lang ito kaya kailangan talaga niyang sulitin ang bawat segundo na meron siya dito sa Isla.

With her slippers on, she walk to find Duke in the shore but failed. Hindi naman karamihan ang tao na naliligo sa dagat pero hindi niya mahanap ang kanyang boss na hindi niya alam kung saan nagpunta. Nakanguso siya habang pinapalibot ang tingin pero wala talaga.

"Nasaan na naman ba 'yon?"

Inis na napakamot siya sa kanyang noo at tinungo ang kabilang banda ng Isla para patuloy itong hanapin. Hindi niya kabisado ang pasikot-sikot roon kaya hindi siya masyadong lumayo sa Cabin. Ten minutes later, she found herself sitting in the lounge and resting. Dumadami na rin ang pumupunta sa beach para maligo o kaya mag surf.

Then out of no where, a white speed boat were in the ocean and even though it looks far, she's definitely knew who's maneuvering the boat!

It's Duke!

"Hi Miss."

Napakurap-kurap siya at napalingon sa lalaking biglang lumapit sa kanya. And Sasha being friendly, she smiled sweetly at him. He looks foreigner. O baka half?

"Hello."

"Am I not disturbing you?"

She shook her head. "Not at all."

"Are you alone?"

She nodded. "Yes."

"Great!" He looks pleasant hearing her answer. "can I—"

Malakas na tilian ang nagpatigil sa pagsasalita nito at awtomatikong tumuon ang atensyon niya sa karagatan kung nasaan si Duke at nag.. su-surf.

A gasp escape her lips upon seeing him standing expertly in the surf board while joining the moves of the waves through the shore. Kahit malayo ito sa pwesto niya, tila naging matang lawin ang mata niya sa linaw habang gumagawa ito ng freestyle sa tubig. Her jaw went slacked while seeing him surfing. It wasn't her first time to see someone do that but seeing Duke in that, it looks more sexier. Mas humanga siya rito. Kung hindi niya ito nakita, paniguradong hindi rin niya malalaman na marunong itong mag surf.
