Chapter 45

"What time will you go home?"
"Maybe tomorrow morning."
"Only Kiesha and Zion are included?"
"Maybe Maxine and Nica will follow too."
"No other man?"
"No ..."
"What if there's a riot, there's no one else to protect you there."
I was stunned at packing the equipment to take. It was five o'clock in the afternoon, six o'clock when we agreed to go to the resort. Kiesha already made a reservation. There is no turning back anymore, especially that the place cost a real fortune. Compared to other beach resorts, we will go quietly and privately. In there, internalization can be made possible.
"That's better, ma. You won't doubt it if there's no other man."
Since we shook hands after the intense quarrel, the policy it has made for me has changed forever. She was less dominant now. Let me do what I want, as long as I'm responsible. Of course, there is still limitation set upon. But it wasn't as rigid as before.
He still always reminds me about studying. Something I'm really listening to now. I understand that her reminder could be a big help for me.
"Even alone, Zion is a good protector," I added.
"All right, it's up to you. Just don't fool around there," was its last reminder, before finally leaving my room.
Earlier when I got home from Kiesha, I immediately went to her to say goodbye to the walk. I heard no answer from him, so I thought he might not want to and should probably just not go. But the decision also changed immediately after he went up to the bedroom and decided to choose the clothes that should be worn. She firmly chose those less revealing. It's cold so I need a thick comforter, as well as a jacket that I have never worn because it's hot in the Philippines. Only now do I know how comfortable it is on the body.
I smiled at what I have realized. She hates to go blatant over her love towards me. She was into action, than words. And I am loving it, as much as I want to hear her, 'I love You' everyday.
Now I"m really sure who inherited. I captured his habit and habits. But I hope life will be different.
Hope it doesn't hurt me ...
I took a shower first after the preparation. He also soaked in the bathroom for about twenty minutes, not thinking about what might happen later. Especially between Zion and me.
Will he notice that I can do it again?
Will we talk?
What will she wear?
The naked image of it flashed through my mind again.
I imagined him swimming skillfully on the serene ocean, under the bleeding moonlight. When it came up, it was just like that, I was breathing violently, while looking at his wet whole. She ruffles her hair to remove some water from it. He was looking at the other direction. But the moment his gaze diverted to me, my heart immediately pulsated. I lost my pace, with my jaw slowly dropping as I roamed my eyes from his chest, abs, down to his leopard print boxer?
Only then did I wake up to madness. I shook my head excessively and tweaked my hair rigorously to work off my lewd imagination.
Your brain is so filthy Geline! Get ready! '
I comment to myself.
I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Pale, the long black hair was slightly disheveled, no make up and eyeglasses.
Many say I'm beautiful. He said it would be even better if you change the style of clothing and if you put a little lipstick on your face.
But I am comfortable in this. I am Geline, wearing nothing but a natural beauty. Everyone can judge freely, I will accept their words without any rebuttal. But no, I can never be swayed by it, for I know I am perfect. I possess my own kind of an esthetic that some might not realize. The problem is not with me, but with people who can"t afford to admire someone"s simplicity.
'Look away if you can't accept me. I promise to do the same on you '.
I stared at myself in the mirror for a while, until I finally thought of going out to get dressed.
I wore brown sweater and gray ankle-length skirt, with a pair of white puma shoes. I didn't even bother to blow-dry my hair, because there was no time. Maybe a few minutes from now, Kiesha will be outside.
"Hey, Geline! What else are you doing there, praying?"
Speaking of, just seconds passed and this, he was screaming.
I peeked out the window. Zi was the first to become the center of vision. He was wearing a brown sweater too, gray shorts, and white sneakers.
We will color the dress from top to bottom! How can this happen? Kiesha will definitely tease it. Maybe I'll just get dressed.
"The people with you are already downstairs. Hey, how long have you been there," my older brother suddenly entered my room.
"I'll just get dressed first."
"Why? You're wearing it well, aren't you?" its front threw the body on the bed.
"Kasi-"
"Don't act anymore."
"Geline Neilani we're surrounding you already! Get out of there if you don't want to taste Kiesha Amira's violence!"
This woman really can't wait!
I simply put on the black sling bag, even the bonnet that had previously hung on the side of the large mirror, then hurried out with the small luggage.
"Your noise," I complained opening.
Her lips immediately rose in a smile as she scanned me from head to foot.
"You look great!" she complimented.
"Thank you," I awkwardly answered.
I could see Zion's intense gaze on my peripheral vision. Like Kiesha it also makes me look at it, in a secret way.
Something grabbed the witch from her bag. When it was finally found, it was just a wider smile. Contrary to me who immediately frowned.
"Definitely not that!" I stepped back.
"Just a little, lip color ..."
"No!"
As I walked away, he got closer and closer. Full of desire to put lipstick on my lips.
"Auntie, it's okay for Gee to put on lipstick, isn't it?" it shouted loudly for mama to hear inside the house.
"Of course ... That boy is so pale!" my mother shouts back.
"Even though, I still don't want to ..." I'm sure I harvested and walked further away.
"It's getting dark, let's go," Zi said. It was looking at his watch. Once he looked up at me, he walked over to the motorbike to be taken.
"Who's the boss?" I jokingly whispered to Kiesha.
"I guess, him?" she eventually gave up pestering me. No matter what I do, I will never let his plan prevail.
He opened the backseat of the maneuvered vehicle to place my luggage.
This is his eighth car in a year. Eighth will be sold more expensive than the original price. And since limited editions are often available, at least that's not a disadvantage for those who want to buy. Even if some money is released, more is still coming back to Kiesha. Madiskarte e ...
"What are you doing?" she asked in a sassy manner, just when I am about to open the front seat's door.
"Will ride?" I'm not sure response.
What does he want?
"No, you're not allowed to ride with me. You might even litter inside. Go with Zi instead," she left a malicious grin, and dramatically flipped her hair before turning to the driver's seat.
It doesn't seem like the map will really change and its occasional bad habit.
I heaved a deep sigh. Is there anything else that can be done? Of course no more. He left even more. I was left folded as I watched the red car move away.
"Why did you leave then sister?" Grant. It turned out to be from Teresa.
I quickly looked up at him, hand-to-hand smile.
"You know your sister Kiesha, crazy ... Be kind to mama, I'll be home tomorrow. Baby!" I have amplified the last word for the whole family to hear. Then no one walked in the direction of Zion.
He handed me his extra helmet. But I refused to accept at first. I don't think I could feel comfort, wearing it.
"It's for your safety woman," he growled.
I stared at his face for a moment, then at the dress.
"Our clothes will be different colors, including helmets?" my complaint. Kunwari naiinis.
"None of us saw this coming ... What's going on here?"
"We look like a couple," my lips protruded
Next I heard her violent sigh. It sat on the motorbike and folded. He craned his neck, chewing on his bottom lip. I stared sideways.
"The worse you think," before he could calm down, he managed to put the helmet on my head. He tucked it securely, and let out a smirk before turning his back. He had just boarded the motorbike, also wearing a helmet. Then the engine started.
"Hey, fix your driving Leander! Don't take our brother home with a scar. I won't forgive you next time," suddenly shouted his older brother who was like Grant who had also heard Teresa.
"You can count on it," Zi replied sparingly.
I secretly stared at the brothers, before getting on the bike. Next I saw the emotionless image of mama, next to papa who was hiding a smile.
"We're leaving ... I promise, Gee will come home without any pain."
My family just took refuge, except for mama who remained serious.
Suddenly I became nervous ... What if it was really against its will to go with me? He might look down on me again.
"Hold on tight," Zi commanded.
"I don't want to, mama is there ..."
"We'll be fine with what you're doing Gee."
"Just don't force me to aya-ahhh!" a loud scream I added to the words to be thrown, after he suddenly started the motorbike.
I was automatically very close to its waist, just like the leading part of the chest in extreme nervousness.
"I told you to hold on tight."
I got lost for words. Who can think of it more sensibly? Good and I didn"t fall.
Until the resort I was just quiet. As expected, Kiesha was already waiting at the entrance. Leaning on the car and looking around at the passing vehicles.
She looked at us, lifting an brow.
"Your duration."
"We just followed you!" I almost got off the bike and approached it.
"Twinning huh?"
"It's just a coincidence," we both turned to the male companion to pass the garment.
Its teasing was almost relentless, directly on the two of us by Zion.
'You probably agreed on that'.
'I didn't know you were really dating it'.
Just a few of the words he was throwing. Until the office is noisy.
"Just admit that I really feel what you lack ..."
"What is Kiesh? Stop it!" annoyed I slapped his shoulder. While Zi just quietly complied, carrying a few of his belongings and that of the boss.
"We made a reservation here," she seriously said to the receptionist.
"May I know the name ma'am?"
"Kiesha Amira Alfano."
The woman once typed on the computer in front of her. She was properly groomed, complemented with a really beautiful smile. The hair is neatly tied up, the polo shirt is a mixture of white and black, which I think is the uniform of the crew. There was a little lipstick on her face, yet her natural beauty appeared more.
"Here's the keys ma'am," she presented three keys to Kiesha.
Did he take three cabins? From what I hear, a night's rent here is expensive. So I brought a tent to save money.
"Please write your names here," now the woman placed a blue book and a pen in front of her.
Kiesha wrote our names one by one. And then strutted inside the entrance, wearing nothing but confidence.
"You can just set up a tent on the side of the beach. It's more fun Kiesh ..." I looked at the group of friends surrounding the bonfire that looked like it had just been made. The fire isn't that big from here yet.
My eyes stopped exactly at someone in plain white shirt and khaki shorts. His hands were both on his shorts pocket. Unlike the others, he's the only one who is seem to be not pleased at their kind of get together, despite the good vibes everyone around him had been posing.
They are ten in total. Six girls, four boys. Of them all, he was the only one standing. Seems ready to leave any second.
"Hey Gee! What are you next, or do you want to join that group?" Kiesha's sudden criticism.
I didn't notice that they were moving away. I could clearly see how Zion looked at them one by one, wondering if they were simply staring. While Kiesha doesn't care at all.
"Sorry," I bowed a little. Even before I took another step, I heard a woman sigh from the group in view.
"I thought work had been stressing you out? C'mon Fergus, loosen up!"
The words must be meant for the guy in white.
Fergus ...
Nice name!
Simple, but elegant.
The only words I had in mind to describe this cabin. White and silver are the top colors of the whole place.
Fully equipped. From the comfortable bed, side table obviously made of unusual wood and silver plated lampshade. Next to it is the cabinet where I put the luggage without bothering to unpack. A large round glass sits in the drawer, facing the various types of perfume that can be used, depending on the type of smell.
There was a door positioned near the foot of the bed. This is the bathroom, which will also have enough equipment. Unused body wash, soap, name everything!
A silver carpet added grace to the whole place flame, so with the artificial plant and marbled pot.
This cabim is too serene, too tidy and downright for someone who would want to take a hold of peace. It is really right here that we go here to pass the resentment and meditate.
As quiet as the cabins are, so is the whole place. Aside from the pounding of the night waves and the slight noise of a few groups rejoicing in the distance, nothing else could be heard. Suffice it to say we were the only ones in the seat.
I changed my clothes into a white long sleeve dress and black sandals. I let my long hair loose, before leaving the cabin made sure to bring the comforter available to protect myself from the cold.
The tent I brought was not wasted. Somehow Kiesha decided to build it on the opposite side of the beach to spend some time there.
Zi was the only one I reached when we reached the agreed place. The tent is in order, now the carpet will be laid on the sand.
"Let me help you," I seriously said. Then come forward to offer help.
He nodded quietly. Until we both finish the job there is nothing to say.
"Where's Kiesha?" I asked without enduring the silence.
"Order fresh meat and drinks," he sparingly replies.
He said he was going to drink today. We even made sure to prepare the pulutan, but it was still lacking? There are only three of us ... I went to the box where we put the food. We cooked them ourselves, with the help of her mommy and a housemate.
"Why?" I subconsciously asked.
"Nica and Max are coming," he said now in charge of the griller.
He was still wearing the same shorts, except for the top which also happened to be white and long sleeves.
Destiny is really playing tricks on us ...
Eventually I turned to look at his place, every time he looked back at me his eyes were quickly diverted to another scene.
The light coming from the light above is dim. He is slightly turned away from it, so his image must be a bit blurry in my vision. But the moonlight was doing a great act, making his eyes shine under its grace. It is exhausting to stare at the few parts of its face that are illuminated by the moon. Especially his well-defined jaw.
He was too handsome to dream. But why does even the impossible still feel good? A big part of me wanted to fight the feeling I currently had. But not right now, not when I am still studying.
"All right, you'll have a hard time too when that melts in your gaze."
I immediately realized what I heard, along with the weak swearing.
"Kiesha too!" I irritably slapped him on the shoulder. I didn't even notice its approaching footsteps.
She just laughed evilly. So satisfied at what she did.
"I'm also looking around."
"I don't know about you," I snatched the plastic bag to peek at the contents. I saw meat and other seafoods, so with vegetables, "Even at sea, you're still a vegetarian," I criticized.
"Meat is good with lettuce."
Two men wearing the same receptionist dress earlier approached us. Work together to bring the ice case to make sure there are only drinks.
"Thanks boys," Kiesha said in a seductive tone.
He seems to be the broken hearted I know who has the urge to flirt. She looks perfectly fine now, than earlier. It seems that there is no such thing as hatred.
But well, I couldn't blame her for acting like this. It's because the handsomeness of the two crews in front of you can't be hidden. There will also be fights with Zi, especially one with a dimple and sweet smile. His eyes sparks as he stares at my bestfriend. While one is still blushing with joy as he watches Kiesha's flirtations.
Winked, flew a kiss, waved and openly asked for a number.
Sometimes I thought of avoiding this woman. I won't hesitate to hide the friendship we have the next time we do something shameful. I couldn't seem to understand how we became really good friends, despite our differences.
"You're really crazy ..." I laughed at the rebuke.
"I know you like the idea Geline. You also thought of finding out their name, but you can't just say it. I am here to help you address that concern," she confidently answered.
Something I haven"t tried to answer yet.
Yes, there is a small part of my system that questions the identity of those men. But it wasn't as intense as he thought.
Zion is still the toaster, just as usual. Kiesha and I worked together to prepare the food for dinner as soon as Max and Nica arrived. They just called, saying they are already in the entrance. They will also be coming shortly from now.
"Are you going to drink?" Kiesha asked suddenly. He first opened the bottle of the single purchased wine.
"I got drunk once because of your game, do I still have to act innocent?" I raised an brow.
"Of course you can't," he said as he handed over the wine that had been translated into the glass.
"Is it intoxicating?" I asked, hesitant to accept.
"Yup! But no need to worry anymore, my aunt agrees to let you drink again."
"Even though, I don't want to abuse the freedom that mama gives me," I finally accepted it as well.
None of his own shifted his eye to Zi. Something was being grilled, and Kiesha and I were watching. I don't know if he was just doing his job. Setting an eyes on us, especially to his boss to ensure her protection. Or he was simply doing this because he likes to.
I prefer the second thought reason. Even if it's wrong to guess, it's still funny the idea that he might like it too.
I don't want to assume, but I don't want to think less of it either. There was something his eyes indicated, something he could not fathom no matter what kind of explanation was made.
He was so mysterious ... The kind of trait that had been pushing me to go beyond the limit.
"For the first time in twenty-two years! I saw Geline Neilani, completely sane with a glass of wine ..."
I winced as I looked at the two friends who had just arrived. They both applauded as if a beautiful performance was currently being watched.
"Stop it," I pulled Nica to my side.
"Good evening everyone!" Maxinne"s unbridled greeting, not only to us but also to the fish swimming in the sea and hiding elements in the forest. Is this possible with the strength of his voice.
"Crazy," Kiesha just shook her head. I also thought about how chaotic they were with their family. Two cousins ​​in one frame, sharing the same genes and braincells.
It's only now that I'm crying over what they can do later when drunk.
To be continued...
