"Hi? Hindi ka po ba maliligo?" Bati at tanong ko kay ate Reese ng makalapit ako dito.
Mag-isa lang kasi siya dito sa may upuan, habang yung iba ay nasa dagat.
Si kuya naman, ewan ko lang. Baka nasa loob.
"I won't." Umiling pa ito.
"Why?"
"Monthly period." Natawa ako. Gagi. Ang malas naman niya.
"Ano, ahm... Sorry about the first time we met... I just wanted to tease you, that's why I said whatever I said back then." I said to her.
"No, it's fine. I'm sorry too for my attitude. I was j-just... Ahm.. --"
"Jealous." Pagtatapos ko sa sasabihin niya.
I laughed ng pamulaan ito at yumuko.
"Please take care of my brother." I said without looking at her. He's been taking care of me since then, and now, I think it is time for him to be happy too.
"I will. Thank you for accepting me."
I just smiled at her and nodded.
Nang mabaling ang tingin ko sa girlfriend ko -- yihh, girlfriend...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Damn! I can't help but to laugh and smile whenever I remember what happened earlier.
I did not know na maiisahan ko siya. Sinong mag-aakalang ang isang Harper Bry Turner, magiging girlfriend ko dahil lang sa naisahan ko siya?
But damn... Kinikilig ako kapag naiisip kong girlfriend ko na siya.
Let me row alone for a while, baby... Until you will row too for the both of us.
Let me love, protect and care you until you can love me back.
I am not assuming, but I am willing to wait... As always.
Isang irap ang itinapon nito sa akin ng makitang nakatingin na rin ako sa kanya, kaya napatawa ako. Maldita.
Nasa tubig na siya, binabantayan si Brielle, kasama si Keigh at ate Mitch, they are talking... But instead na kay Brielle ang tingin niya, nasa akin... Pero masamang tingin ang pinupukol niya. Ano nanamang problema niya?
"I did not know na ikaw pala ang best friend daw na laging kinukwento ni Rei sa amin." Nabalik ang atensyon ko kay Ate Reese ng magsalita ito.
"Huh?" I confusedly asked. I didn't know Rei is talking about me.
"Hmm. She always tells us about you on how weird you are at first but became her close friend after. I'm also thankful for you because finally, she got a true friend." Right.. maybe she's worried since it is not easy too kung ano yung pinagdaanan ng kapatid niya.
"Don't worry, Ate Reese, Rei is a good friend. Kahit madalas kaming magbangayan, we still care for each other naman." I assured her.
Hindi ko lang madalas mabanggit or maikwento but everytime na magkasama kami ni Rei, we always bickering each other.
"Can I barrow my girlfriend for a while? May ipapakita lang ako sa kanya." We both looked to the person who suddenly spoke behind us.
I rolled my eyes when I saw him smiling so wide at Ate Reese.
"Hindi ko naman inaagaw. Sayo na." I said to him. We both laughed after at nakita ko pang umiling si Ate Reese.
"Maligo ka na, princess. Samahan mo na sila don." Tinuro pa sila Miss.
Tumango lang ako dito at tumayo na ng umalis na sila. Naglakad ako papunta kila Miss na seryosong nagku-kwentuhan.
"Baby, careful" mabilis akong lumapit kay Brielle ng bigla itong madulas at muntikan pang maanod sa tubig dahil sa impact ng alon.
