Captive Prince (Seduction Series #2)

Chapter 13

Nakarating na kami sa hotel na matutulugan namin, it was a suite kaya maganda ang itsura niya. Beige, white, and light blue, ang color ng kwarto kaya mas damang dama mo ang feeling na nasa dagat ka. Binihisan na ni Caleb si Sev, naka-swimming attire na siya ngayon. Mukha siyang tatay ni Sev.

Si Caleb ay nakabihis na, he is wearing a beach polo na nakatanggal ang dalawang butones, at naka beach shorts. He looks hot, tho.

"Mukha kang tatay." I giggled.

"Magbihis ka nalang." Tumawa siya.

I went in the bathroom and changed into a white one piece na may pa-cross sa likod, paglabas ko ay nakatitig sa akin si Caleb at nakaawang ang labi. Akala mo may nakitang kakaiba sa tabi ko.

"What?" I raised a brow.

"Wala." Tumikhim ang bibig niya.

"Stop staring, weirdo." I chuckled.

"I'm not staring." Depensa niya.

"Yeah, right." I teased.

I put on some sunblock, and I put some too on Sev para hindi kami ma-sunburn.

"Ako din mommy, lagyan mo!" Pang-aasar ni Caleb.

"Oh." Binigay ko kay Caleb yung sunblock, para siya ang maglagay sa sarili niya. Ano siya sineswerte?

Since then, naging super mag-bestfriends kami ni Caleb. He's funny, entertaining, supportive, and sobrang maalalahanin. I remember him telling me about him playing basketball in UAAP and NCAA, when he was in college. That's why he's tall, at saka maraming nagkakagusto sa kanya. I wonder why wala siyang girlfriend.

Not noticing, that I was already staring at him.

"Baka matunaw ako, Gwyn." Sambit niya.

I rolled my eyes at him, which made him laugh. Nagsuot ako ng bright yellow beach dress on top and carried Sev, and rode in the car that Caleb rented. It was a dark grey Toyota Glanza.

"Are we gonna go swimming mommy?" Sev asked.

"Yes." Tipid kong sagot.

"Yeyy!" He cheered, he's so cute.

Caleb and I, giggled. We went island hopping, and did some adventuring sobrang ganda dito sa El Nido, this was my 2nd time going here. My first time is when my mom had a team building kung saan sinama niya kami ni Jaine, umuwi rin kami noon agad kaya hindi ako nakapag-libot libot.

But now...  I'm here again with my son, and.... and bestfriend. Sayang 'di ko kasama si Sean, it would be a perfect moment to be with him.

To be honest, kahit niloko ako ni Sean noon... Nagagawa ko paring i-miss siya. It's been 3 years from now, At hindi na kami nagkikita. We are now at some beach, at pinayagan ko na mag-swimming si Sev dahil kaninang kanina pa niya ako kinukulit para mag-swimming. Sinamahan naman siya ni Caleb, at ako ay nakaupo lang sa buhangin, habang pinapanood sila.

Tinawag ako ni Caleb, para makipagsabay sa kanila. Tumayo naman ako, we're staying here for four days, at babalik kami sa Puerto Princesa, para doon ulit maglibot because i wanted to go to the underground river.  I went in the water running, it felt so cold kaya sinisid ko ang sarili ko para bumawas ang lamig.

Binuhat ni Caleb si Sev para dalhin doon sa malalim, at tinatawanan ko lang sila nang gusto ni Sev magpababa sa tito niya.

"Tito Caleb! Get me down!!!" Sabi ni Sev at hinahampas ang dibdib ni Caleb.

Nagtatawanan sila doon, at naglalaro sa tubig. Habang umahon na ako at pinicturan 'yung beach. Nakatalikod si Caleb at si Sev kaya pinicturan ko sila to post in my IG.

'Thanks for bringing us here, @calebyou we're having fun already.'

I know, sobrang corny 'yung name niya. I actually laughed so hard when he gave me his IG account.

Minutes later, nag comment na si Philip, Derrick, and Kaitlyn.

philmatt_echano: naks, ako nag-pilot papunta d'yan.

derkaitlovesauraaria: e'di ikaw na nasa palawan.

adrnna_kaitj_mntvila: pasalubong namin ha! mwa!

Tinawanan ko mga comments nila, such supportive friends.

It was already night time, pinatulog ko na si Sev, at inaya ako ni Caleb lumabas sa terrace namin. He was carrying two wine glasses and wine. Gestured me to sit down on the table. He poured the wine into our glasses.

"Caleb..." I called him at nilingon niya ako, waiting for me to say something.

"Thank you, for bringing me and Sev here." I said.

"It's okay." He smiled.

"You're a great, bestfriend!" I smiled back.

"Bestfriend... Bestfriend lang pala, gusto pa naman kita.." He whispered pero narinig ko pa rin.

"What?" I acted like I didn't hear him.

"Nothing," he smiled.

"Nako, attorney." I said.

He chuckled and we talked about many things, while drinking our wine.

Hindi matanggal sa isip ko kanina yung sinabi niya na, he likes me daw. So i decided to change the topic and ask him about that pero pasimple.

"Attorney Javier." I teased at lumingon siya at tumawa.

Ano nanaman problema neto, at tinawanan ako?

"Please... Don't call me that." He smiled.

"Then what should I call you then?"

"Maganda siguro pag baby." He whispered, pero hindi ko narinig 'yon ng maayos.

"Huh?" I asked in curiousity.

"Wala, just call me Caleb, 'di ako sanay na tinatawag akong attorney galing sa mga bestfriends ko."

"I have a question.."

"And what is that?" He raised a brow.

"Bakit ang bait mo sa'kin? I mean simula nung nakita mo ako noon na hoholdapan, you were so nice.. Are you like that sa iba mong friends?" I asked.

"Nope, sa'yo lang." He sipped.

"Why??" I asked.

"Because..." the smile disappeared from his face.

"Because, I.... I like you Gwyn..."

I knew it! He has feelings for me! Pero hindi ko siya papatulan, we're just friends and we should stay that way.

"I'm sorry... Pero-"

"Friends lang.. Okay lang." He smiled.

"Alam ko naman, may tatay 'yung bata. At hindi ako 'yon, paano nalang pag bumalik 'yung ama niya, ano plano mo?" He asked.

"I don't know either."

"Ipapakilala mo ba sa bata tatay niya?"

"Yes, if we see each other again though." I replied.

"Thanks for understanding, I'm sorry." I said.

"It's okay, tara pasok na tayo its getting cold."

I nodded and followed him inside, nag-toothbrush ako at nag-skin care bago humiga sa kama, I saw Caleb there sitting down scrolling through his phone.

I lied down on the bed beside Sev, he is sleeping peacefully and I grabbed my phone to check my instagram. My eyes widened as I saw one of my notifications.

'seandrei_m liked your post.'
