CROSSING THE WILD WAVES (Familiá Altamirano #2)

CHAPTER 30

Kiss Me

    YEAH, right. So Croisx owned this entire hotel, including the nearest restaurant and the other facility. Damn it. Napahiya ako doon ng sobra. Mabuti na lang at hindi naintindihan nina Bella at Rowan ang pinagsasabi ko kanina dahil Tagalog.

They don't understand Tagalog because they're both white. Kung nandito lang si Denver ay paniguradong sasamain niya ako.

Hindi ko naman kasi alam na siya pala ang may-ari ng buong hotel na 'to. Kung alam ko lang, hindi ko naman siya pagkakamalan na stalker ko!

What I acted earlier was rude. I know that I need to apologize to Croisx for accusing him. . . And I will do later after the shoot.

"Do you like your suite?" Rowan snapped me out of my reverie. I blinked in confusion when his eyebrows creased. "I'm asking you about your suite. Do you like it?"

I swallow, trying to regain my composure. Then I did a quick glance at the suite. The suite looked cosy and spacious. Good enough. "Y-Yeah. Thank you. Anyway, what time is the start of the shoot?"

"An hour from now. We should start doing your make up," Rowan said.

My eyes fluttered wide.

"What?! Can't I have a break for a while?" I asked.

Bella laughed. "The photographer looks grumpy. We better not be late, Khrizanta."

I grunted. "I'll take a shower first,"

"Go on. Here's the bikini you will wear. We will wait for you here," Rowan handed me the garments I will wear for the entire shoot.

I sighed. "All right," 

Pagod man sa byahe ay kailangan ko pa rin gawin 'to. I cleaned my body with the essentials I brought. Ayoko kasing gumamit ng sabon na hindi ko hiyang at nagkakapantal ako. Nang natapos ako magshower, lumabas akong nakasuot na ang bikini pero tinakpan ko 'yon ng pink robe.

I sat on the vanity mirror where the make up products spread. Rowan immediately started doing my make up while Bella focused on my hair. Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas ay tuluyan nang natapos ang pag-aayos sa akin.

One of the stylist surveyed me before she declared that I'm ready to go. Sabay-sabay kaming bumaba papunta sa parte ng dagat kung saan naghahanda ang mga staffs. Rowan is holding an umbrella, protecting me from the sun's rays. Bella and Amanda, on the other hand are holding portable electric fans.

Luckily, our hotel was only a ten-minute walk from the exclusive beachside. When we arrived, I recognized familiar faces, especially Horst, the photographer who greeted me with a cheek kiss.

"Khrizanta! How was your flight? You look lovely! I didn't know the Philippines was so captivating! I haven't walked around, but so far, I like this beach! Anyway, let's start, shall we?"

I plastered a soft grin. "Sure, let's start!"

Slowly, the pink robe slips down on my body, revealing my outfit.

I am wearing a white triangle bikini top, string wrapped perfectly on my abdomen. The ruched bikini bottom was super skimpy, revealing my thick, round ass. Bella styled my hair into a mermaid curls. For my accessories, I have a layered pearl necklace, nothing more.

I was grateful for the gentle, cool breeze that felt refreshing on my exposed skin. I was barefoot, so I felt the soft, warm sand slip up over my feet and tickle between my toes.

The silhouettes of the coconut tree are saving me from the high risk of passing out because of too much heat.

"Khrizanta, close your eyes but not too tight, then tilt your head a bit, let the sun rays hit your face, yes, just like that!" Horst shouted. "Perfect!"
