Irish POV
I was panting because of too much running when I arrived in my cabin. Wala akong karapatan na husgahan siya o anuman, pero bilang tao may karapatan naman siguro akong mangaral. Of all places, bakit dun pa siya nagpakita sa akin. Too late for me to regret. Nagpagising pa ko kay Jaz para lang maabutan ang sunset dahil kung hindi baka hanggang ngayon tulog pa ko. At nakakainis ang lalaking yun! One look and I know it already, he's planning to do it again. I don't know his reason and being suicidal is not the best solution or an option. Muka naman siyang matino for having a bristly eyebrows, a pointed hawkish nose, and that greek shoulder and those biceps is too much for me to handle. And his eyes, a color ocean eyes that's good for me to look at. In short, gwapo siya sige na nga. But his eyes is also telling me to keep an eye on him because he's planning to do something again. At ano bang pakialam ko? Ni hindi ko nga alam ang pangalan niya eh, tapos kung isipin ko siya akala mo close kami.
I was about to call my cousin Jaz para sabihin na ipaparoom service ko na lang ang dinner ko dahil ayokong lumabas when someone knocked. And when I open my door, he was standing there. The man I'm thinking about. "Uhm-- Hi?" okay, this is awkward. "Hi too" but not anymore. "What are you doing here? How did you know my cabin's number? And lastly, I'm hungry" Irish are you crazy? I'm doomed! Why did I said-- he chuckled and it's too sexy ugh! "I know the owner of this resort just like you and yeah I asked him--" he suddenly brushed the back of his head, at hindi siya makatingin ng diretso sakin. "I asked him about your cabin's number and here I am" he suddenly looked down. Mukang hindi na siya si Mr. Suicidal, Mr. Stalker na siya. Am I suppose to be happy for it? "For what reason?" I said in authority. "I wanted to say sorry and thank you as well, and by that have dinner with me" did I misheard him or something? He said sorry and thank you? Thus dinner with him? "Uhm-- are you serious?" gosh! "I'm deadly serious" yes he is serious, I clearly saw it. "Let's go then" he left me no choice, kidding I always have a choice.
I thought we were having a simple dinner in some of the restaurant's here. And my expectation deceived me, coz who says were going to eat in an open space dining hall when in fact we can eat in the middle of the beach. "Wow just wow! I see, you're not ordinary" I said, while smiling at him. More like teasing him, and he shyly looked down. A speedboat stop in front of us, and it will serve as main transportation in order to get into the Nipa hut in the middle of beach. A female staff welcome us as we arrived. The Nipa hut is surrounded by a candle light, at hindi ko na talaga maitago ang kilig sa katawan ko. Gustuhin ko mang sumigaw but I can't. Kailangan demure woman ang peg ko. I need to relax a little, ayoko naman na mahalata niyang tense ako. He pulled a chair for me, what a gentleman. And here it goes, my heart is getting grumpy. I want to break the ice that made us quiet a long time, as we both sat down. Before I could talk to break it, naunahan na niya ko. "I haven't properly introduce myself yet, my apology for that. I'm Axis Brogue" he extended his hand to me, ngayon lang din sumagi sa isipan ko na hindi nga pala namin kilala ang pangalan ng bawat isa. Hindi ko pa alam ang pangalan niya kanina pero kung kiligin ako akala mo kilala ko siya. "Same here, I'm Irish Martinez" I gasped as I felt the electricity of his hand towards mine. We absolutely enjoyed the night. The sound of the sea waves become the background music of the two of us, as we slowly open up.
I woke up late again, as usual. It's been a week and I'm still here enjoying my vacation on this island's resort. Nauna nang umuwi sa Manila si Jaz dahil nag away sila ni Ivan her boyfriend and the resort's owner. At obviously nagpaiwan ako, why? Kasi gusto ko. I mean, gusto ko pang makasama si Axis, there I said it. Sa ilang araw na magkasama at naging magkakilala naging magaan ang loob ko sa kanya. I'm happy, because I felt the sudden changed of his ocean eyes. Hindi na kagaya nung una, na malungkot at handang magsuicide anumang oras. I don't want to assume anything but can't help it. At oo nga pala may usapan kami ngayon. Sabay namin papanoorin ang papalubog na araw. I need to hurry up!
Hinihingal akong huminto at inayos ang nagulo kong buhok before I started walking again. I'm here already. I still clearly remember nung magkita ulit kami, at dito pa talaga. I was annoyed at that time, because this place has a story to tell. A local myth that every woman bound to believe, and yes I'm one of those believer. At dahil hindi pa naman kami close ni Axis nun, nainis ako sa kanya kasi sinira niya or should I say na-- "You shouldn't be here Miss, it's dangerous" who is he? and where is Axis? Malapit nang magsunset wala pa rin siya. I didn't pay attention sa lalaking nakatayo sa harapan ko, nilampasan ko siya at lumipat ako nang pwesto. I went to the near end gutter ng wharf. And that man, pisses me off! Sinundan niya ko. "Excuse me, what is your problem? There's a lot of empty spaces over there-" tinuro ko ang mga bakanteng upuan na pwede niyang tambayan o anuman. "So why here? I'm waiting for someone, so please go away dahil pwesto niya yan" He just shrugged "Leave her alone, Travis." boses iyon ni Axis, he's here at late siya. "Okay" at sinunod nga nung Travis si Axis. He left without saying anything. "Do you know him? And you're 10 minutes late." I'm waiting for his answer, and I guess he doesn't want to. "Yosh! Let's enjoy the sunset then." I said, without looking at him.
I know there's something wrong, I'm not dumb. Axis mind is on somewhere else, and we've been sitting here for I don't know how long. And my patience is wearing thin now. I close my eyes and I sighed. "Listen to me, Axis. I'm not a fool or something, if you have a problem I won't ask what is it. But please don't just sit here, doing nothing! I'm freakin' bored damn it!" Hindi ko na inantay pang sumagot siya, bumaba na ko sa wharf. Bahala siya sa buhay niya! I'm annoyed fudge! Siguro kong hindi sumulpot ang Travis na yun baka masaya kaming nagdidinner ngayon!
