Chapter 21

I WOKE up the next day with no one in bed. I was immediately overwhelmed. I chineck my body immediately.
Was it a dream ?!
But I'm wearing his shirt!
I walked around the room, and I still didn't see any other trace of Chaos. I saw the window on my side open and the sun was shining again.
Not so .... He left me?
Did he realize that he doesn't love me anymore?
Or was it a goodbye sex for both of us?
"You're awake." A cold voice I heard. I saw him just coming from the bathroom and the towel was still on his right shoulder. I looked away when he started to part his wet hair.
It seems that you have slowed down his work.
I was just shaken because of what I was thinking.
Aish!
"Ahm ..." What can I say ?!
He walked to the couch where his bag was, I just realized that he was shirtless while he was wearing his pants. I couldn't help but blush when I remembered what happened to us last night. Damn!
"W-what time is it?" I asked and took off the blanket. I blushed again when I saw our clothes folded on one side next to my bag.
"8 am." He replied. I went to my bag to pick up my phone and check if there was a signal. But I was disappointed to see that there was still nothing. Im pretty sure my friends were worrying about me. Hays
"T-teka you s-said last night that you have a gig right?" I asked as I remembered. He is now wearing a shirt and currently wearing shoes.
"Yeah, they can function it without me don't worry."
"Does your phone have a signal?" He stood up when he finished putting on his shoes.
"Nothing." I nodded.
"Are you leaving yet?" I felt pain at my question. He didn't even wake me up if I hadn't woken up yet maybe he would just leave me. I looked away when he turned around, I didn't see any other emotion in his eyes. He's still cold.
Is that really the case with what I did?
Is that just what happened to us last night?
"No, I'll wait for you so take a bath now then we'll go. Your clothes are clean, don't worry." He said. It seems that a thorn pulled me out of what he said.
"About your car, it's already in Alta Vista, I'll just take you there. I'll just go out. I'll buy our food while you're bathing." He didn't wait for my answer and left quickly.
I bit my lip and clumsily entered the bathroom.
During our whole trip in his car, only silence prevailed. He was just driving seriously while I glanced at him slowly while he was just on the road staring with full attention.
"Staring is rude." I was able to sit up.
"S-sorry ..."
"Tsk."
"Where are you now?" I suddenly asked.
"Going home after I drop you there."
"Is that so." He did not answer. He is really different. Suddenly, my phone vibrated in my bag. Maybe there was a signal so I took it to see who the messengers were.
Joyce:
Hey Girl! Wer ka ba ?! Did you go home?
Lalaina Joy:
Shaina where the fuck are you ?! Why aren't you answering our calls?
Danica:
Sha, we're worried. Alyana called us and looked for you. Where are you?
Chiza:
Namokpok to, Support!
I laughed at Chiza's text when I saw Chaos glance at me and was shaken.
Me:
Hey guys, I'm alive dont worry.
Then I sent it to all of them and then I will explain once I get home. I saw that their missed calls almost reached 100.
I hid my phone in my bag and Chaos's, we were actually together but he didn't bother to look. When he rang again, he replied that he had pressed something in front of me so I could hear it too.
"Chaos!" I knew her voice.
"What?" Chaos's lazy answer I just quietly listened and hugged.
"Where have you been ?! We were still waiting for you last night ----- Fuck give me my phone!" I heard the voices of Arkuss and Diana.
"I'm on my way."
"Hala nagago done last night are you still going?" Oo nva he said he's going home na diba?
"I'm on my way home." He is still serious.
"Hey Chaos, come here! Your handler and your PA are here! You have a video shooting for your music video." I heard Diana, I suddenly thought. Are they already together?
I just looked out the window and watched what we were going through. I can see the sea on my side. Wow!
Suddenly I was amazed. It's not my first time here but I still admire the beautiful sea here.
I was surprised and looked at Chaos when he lowered the glass of my window. He's still talking to Diana.
I mouthed him the word thank you, I don't want to talk and maybe they'll find out I'm with him.
"Where?"
"We're here in Alta Vista, and we're all waiting for you, duh!" My ears tingled when I heard that. Wait!
I turned to him and he didn't look surprised.
"Okay."
"But ----" Diana couldn't continue to say when Chaos turned off the call.
"Congrats." I said out of nowhere.
He turned around for a moment.
"For what?"
"Are you?" My bold question. I saw him smirked.
"What do you think?" My eyes glazed over when he returned to my question.
"Im asking you a question then here you are asking me for another question. Great!" I couldn't help but shout again. Argg! I was able to sit up when I regained my attitude.
"Tsk."
"Why don't you say I love you?" I ask again, fuck! Why am I blabbering on now? Eh what do I use?
"Do I love her so I can tell her I love you?" He said while still looking at the road.
"You said she's your girlfriend so you should ----"
"When did I say that she's my girl?" I was about to say something when he cut me off and my heart went crazy again.
"When did she become you?"
"Thank you." I promised when he got out of his car, he did the same. But I have no plans to walk with him because maybe someone will see us and maissue more.
He did not speak and walked away. Look at this man!
"When did she become you." I will imitate what he said earlier.
"Ulul." I whispered to his receding back.
I was about to leave when I remembered my luggage !!! She's in the back of her car!
I took a Villa for my one week stay. Muni muni I guess.
I stomped on my bed when I remembered my luggage again! He put it in his car! How can I bathe it?
I took my phone, is that still his number? I saw that they had texts again Joy.
Hays take care!
Me:
Hey, I left my luggage in your car. I dont have any clothes to wear.
Then I sent it.
While waiting for his reply if he will reply, I just realized that little by little I was getting drowsy.
I just woke up with my phone ringing loudly, I was drowsy when I answered it.
"Hello ...."
"What's your room number?" Suddenly I sat down, looked at Chaos' caller and number.
So, he didn't change his number huh.
"The villa I took."
"Rich kid." I restrained myself from laughing even though he said it seriously.
"This man is really naughty!" How I was killed immediately. Can I kill him? Now that? Char!
The villa is really too big. You'll be poor, but it's worth it. Not enough for just one person so later I will call my friends to have them follow it.
Soon after, someone rang the door bell. So I quickly went down and peeked into the peep hole first. My eyes widened that it was Chaos while holding my luggage.
So I opened it. The face is still frowning.
"How did you get here?" I will ask.
"Should you ask me first to come in?" He asked sarcastically.
"Are you a visitor? I didn't tell you to bring it here." At the same time I pointed to my luggage.
"You still have the attitude. You'll meet for saken and then someone will see us." I looked away, he's right, his girlfriend is still jealous.
"Yes! And maybe your girlfriend will even see us!" I was surprised when he laughed. Gosh! His laugh! The one I missed with him.
"Don't be jealous. It's not you." He smiled and handed me my luggage.
"Where are you now?" Danica asked as I was talking on the phone, I was just watching netflix while eating ice cream.
"Here it is in alta vista."
"Hey danics! Is that Shaina? Talk to ---- just shutangina sandals!" I heard Joyce.
"Shaina! Can we follow jan? You know I really love beaches right?" Joyce asked.
"Okay." I'm just lazy to answer, because that's really my plan.
"Awww you don't want to ------ halaaa !!! Gooo sago! Omeged! I'm going to take my seethrough bikini!"
"What the fuck Joyce!" I said, seriously ?!
I even heard them squealing, like shunga.
Two hours ago when Chaos left, he didn't come in because they still had a shoot.
I'm still sad, because he doesn't seem to want to talk about what happened to us last night.
Isn't that really with him?
I decided to take a shower and put on my pajamas and then I would go down to the beach. They said it was nice to watch the waves every night.
After I got dressed I was downstairs.
I only see a few people, I have seen someone with a bonfire and jajam. I smiled as I passed them.
I was amazed as I walked and saw the beautiful waves.
"What a beautiful scenario."
I thought of stopping to walk first and watch the waves.
Suddenly the memory of that night came back, the night he gave in to me.
I'm really stupid, I was the only one who tortured him from then until now.
I also remember that I almost committed suicide but Nash stopped me.
It's not too late, is it?
I just want Chaos forgiveness.
Even if I just see him happy, I'm okay.
I looked up at the sky, I could see the beautiful moon.
Luna.
Once again I was able to hold on to my necklace given by Chaos.
I miss him.
I wiped the tears that came to my eyes again. When will I stop crying?
I was about to take a step to walk again but I could see two familiar people on the side of the coconut tree.
I don't know what they're doing but I know and I know that, his back is his stance.
And he's with Diana. The light from a restaurant is close to them.
I bit my lip again when I felt the pain in my heart.
They did not go home.
"Gosh! Stop crying Shaina!" I told myself and turned around to go back to the villa.
Pain again.
Maybe that's how it is when you already love someone, when you love. The replacement turned out to be very painful. Legit. It hurts so much to the point that you can't help it, it hurts to see the person you love with others. It hurts to see him happy but not because of you, it hurts because this is what I want.
They are right, repentance is late. When others hold him, then you will regret that you let him go.
"HEY!!"
"Fuck! It's so beautiful here!"
"Damn! That's nice!"
They reacted to him when they suddenly arrived here, it was 9 am in the morning and I just woke up at their door bells one after the other, they weren't obviously excited, were they?
I just crossed my arms watching them. I was very scratchy in my senses when Chiza started moving the vases.
"Are you a mountain person? There seems to be no vase in our house!" Joyce said, I thought I was also a little sad because Alyana was in another country and she was the only one we lacked now.
"Hey serious Shaina! It's good that you're sending us here!" Joy said, look at this woman, she doesn't look pregnant.
"May I see upstairs?" I couldn't answer as they climbed one after another. So I couldn't do anything if I didn't follow them.
"Arat! Let's go swimming first!"
"Aren't you hungry? Or are you tired from the trip?" I will ask.
"Yeah by the way, we'll take a nap first." Nica's promise. Rhea and Scarlet were busy observing the rest of the room while Joyce, Chiza and Joy were on the veranda. There is a view of the sea.
At seven o'clock in the evening, my guests were still asleep, while I did nothing but watch netflix. What did they get here for? Swimming or sleeping?
I decided to just go to our food, because the refrigerator was full, I just started cooking adobo. I suddenly wondered if they were still here Chaos? Maybe they have already left. Since he delivered my luggage, he hasn't texted me anymore. I guess he's busy and why is he texting me?
I was shaken and just cooked. While I was boiling what I was cooking I thought of browsing ig first. I was shocked when Diana's post came up. Is that really so? I don't follow him but his post always appears in my feed, it's just annoying. But I was still able to scroll.
It was a picture of her and the moonstone, the location of Alta Vista was placed there. I saw them all smiling, I turned my gaze to the man next to him who was also smiling and still signed peace. Now I just saw his smile like that again, when will I be able to see him smiling again when I'm the reason?
It has reached 50k likes even just one hour ago, so they're still here. Diana has no other caption but the smiley face emoji. I was wondering why is she always with them? He doesn't have anything, so what's that news all the time?
"Jollibee." I murmured.
"Asan? Penge naman!" I jumped in shock when I saw Nica next to me. I immediately hid my phone.
"Tsk! You almost give me a heart attack!"
"Where's the jollibee?" He asked, obviously he just woke up and looked like he was still blasting a to.
"Shunga nothing." Then I turned off the stove when I thought I was cooking.
"Wow! It's time to eat! It's late!" Then he spooned what he was going to eat and sat down at the table. I also sat opposite him.
"How are the two of you going?" I frowned at him. Does it say?
"Who?" He blinked and ate the rice again.
"Duh! Bright! Are you still seeing each other?"
I remember, since I slept in his condo we never met again. He didn't say anything about the progress of my construction of the coffee shop. I also don't have his number.
"Isn't there an update in your coffee shop yet?"
I also forgot if I took his number or not.
"Nothing yet. But I was planning to look at the location he said."
"I have his number."
"Don't, I'll probably talk to him after this week." He nodded and resumed eating.
"How are you and Jacob?" He could almost swallow what he was eating and then looked at me with a laugh.
"My gosh Shaina! We haven't been together for a long time! You're so upset you haven't been updated!"
"What? Last time I checked ------"
"Don't check, it's wrong charot !!!" Then he signed peace and ate again, I just nodded and let him go. I don't know if all of my friend's kids won't last long, this Nica will also take turns. But Joyce told a story about Nica's first love, but it seems like it's still way back in high school. But I wondered why they didn"t stay together. Maybe it's not Bright because they look close.
"Omg !!! Its so nice here!" I heard Chiza said, we are already on the beach and all of us are wearing bikinis. There aren't too many people, it's already 9 am. After we ate earlier we decided to get dressed and go swimming in the sea.
"Isn't there a pogi here?" Joyce asked as she looked around.
"I do not know."
There are also many establishments open here, Nica and Joy bought buko juice, even though Joy's body was a bit bulging, she was wearing a swim suit.
It's really beautiful to watch the waves, but I don't know myself, I prefer to look at them at night especially and the sky is full of stars with the moon.
"Oh my gosh!" I was surprised to see Rhea and Jayrose next to me and someone was looking at a rock band and it looked like someone was shooting.
"Is that Chaos and his band mates ?!" Even Jayrose. Me, Jayrose, Rhea and Scarlet are the only ones together because the others are already touring.
I looked there and my eyes narrowed when I realized its him. Even from a distance I knew his back. I was stunned when the three of them were in front of me and raised an eyebrow at me, as if looking for an answer.
"Tell me, are you okay?"
"No." I reply to Jayrose.
"Is that why you came here because you knew he's here?"
"Of course not Rhea!"
"Okay ...." Then they turned to look at Chaos again.
"Huy ano ba let me go nga!"
"Don't be so kj nga Sha! Let's just watch them! Zyke's abs are yummy oh! The sun is shining! It's delicious to lick!" I covered my ears when Rhea said that. Seriously?
When we got a little closer, they didn't notice us because everyone was busy. My mouth fell open when I saw the members of Moonstone with a large rock posed there and Jesus! They are all wearing a white long sleeve but the buttons are not closed! The camera was facing them, as if syncing the song.
"Tangina. Maybe they caught everyone when God rained down perfection." I saw the three of them almost drooling. The fuck ?! Where are they Nica ?!
"Oh my Gosh Shaina look!" I turned around and I gulped, because Chaos was walking now while singing and looking at the camera and then he took off his clothes and pulled out his wet hair.
"Pakshet. Did you see that ?! Abs are delicious oh! Shaina how does she feel in bed?"
"Aray, I'm just going to ask!" I immediately kicked Rhea.
My heart is beating faster as we watch now, it seems like you slowed everything down the moment he turned to our side and our eyes met. My eyes widened and my heart beat faster, at the same time my cheeks warmed up.
"Hey you're flirty! She's looking at you!" Jayrose said while pointing at me, I also don't know why I don't take my eyes off him.
"Shaina all!"
I realized and I immediately looked away and turned around.
"Hey where are you going ?!" They followed me.
"I don't want to watch, boring!"
"Sus! You've become a supporter of theirs, you've even joined the fandom!"
I just shook my head and walked away. When I came back I saw two people on the side of a tree. Is Joyce waiting?
What the ?! Is that sir Luke ?! Our teacher in senior high school. I saw Sir Luke holding Joyce's arm. Joyce turned her back on me but I knew her back.
I just let him go and started walking.
"Hey." I looked up when someone stopped in front of me.
"Migo! W-what are you doing here?" He's wearing a blue longsleeve and black pants with his longs leeve rolled up on his arm while wearing the hard hat.
I pointed at him wearing a hard hat.
"Ah." Once her date.
"We have our next project here in Alta Vista, im with my team." He said,
"Ah."
"You?" I would have answered when he spoke again. "Having your vacation?" I nodded then.
"I'm with my friends."
"Until when?"
"Just one week, I'll be home on Saturday." He nodded.
"Have you eaten?" He suddenly asked.
"Yes." I laughed in my mind because our conversation was so short.
"Ahm! I'll be the first." I said I remembered that I was just wearing a bikini and then I was talking to her.
"Bright Architect!" Then a man approached him, he looked at me in amazement.
"Where's your villa?" Migo asked. The man next to him just smiled.
"Ahm there."
"I'll bring you."
"H-I can't take it anymore. I'll be the first!" I didn't wait for him to answer and walked quickly.
"Chix you architect? Nice ah!" I even heard him say that when he was with me, I didn't hear Migo's answer because I was far away.
It's noon and my friends are still gone, aren't they really hungry yet? After Migo and I met, I never thought of going out. I just watched netflix.
I was watching Money Heist when my phone vibrated. I was able to sit up when I saw Chaos.
Chaos:
Architect huh?
I frowned at what I read, does it say?
Me:
You say?
When I sent it, I received his text again in less than a minute.
Chaos:
Architect, when I hit that rocking, it immediately.
I laughed, I could imagine his face as he said that.
Me:
Are you jealous?
I bit my lip, I don't know and I'm happy with her.
Chaos:
Asa.
That's all and I didn't reply, I just continued watching netflix while eating. He didn't text anymore. My phone vibrated again, I thought he texted again but he notified my Ig of his post so I immediately chinecked. I don't follow him, do I? Bat nag nonotify saken? I was slapped on the forehead when I also saw in my notification that he accepted my follow request.
Now I see his posts,
I also saw his new post, selfie and the sea is behind him and shirtless while wearing sunglasses, I guess its their called sunkissed?
My mouth dropped open when I read his caption.
"Architect or me?"
My gosh Chaos Ethan! What's with you ?!
It was only 3 minutes ago but it reached thousands of likes and many comments. I saw Arkuss and Zyke's comment.
@arkussw: if it punches me, I'll rerequest another one! Sherep nemen of abs!
@zykew: Lodi pa dila ng abs!
I laughed at their comment but my face turned red when I saw one of my friends comment. It's Joyce!
@callijoycexy: I bet I'm good at singing! In a different case, you bet! SHAINA all!
My God Joyce! I saw that his comment also reached 20 likes and my eyes widened when Chaos liked it !!!
Fuck! That's why I quickly turned off my phone and forced myself to focus on watching netflix.
Gosh! It's hot!

To be continued...
