Axis POV
ITS been a week since I stayed here, and I'm glad that I did. I've met Irish, and something has changed. Though I'm still coping up of what it is. My suicidal thought vanished, thanks to her. And I'm excited to see her later, right now I need to change first for-- "Hello mate" damn it! "What brings you here Ethan? I'm made myself cleared right?" Instead of an answer, he just left me dumbfounded. And that's shit! I hurriedly walked out on my cabin, and went to Irish. Please no! I'm too late. "Leave her alone, Travis." They saw her fuck! Not her, you moron! "Okay" As if! Hell to you Travis! "Do you know him? And you're 10 minutes late." I don't know what to say, or what excuse should I say. "Yosh! Let's enjoy the sunset then." she said not looking at me.
Irish is not safe with me, I'm sure as fuck that they will use her against me. Why now? They surely know how to ruin my happiness. And I won't let them, not anymore. "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!" Crap! I think too much and didn't realized that damn! Irish walked away, and I ran to catch her up. "Irish, please don't leave" I said while holding her hand, then she looks at me. Her hazel nut eyes met mine. "Why not? Look Axis, I've been sitting there with you for I don't know how long. And I'm so pissed right now! I couldn't even ask you what is wrong, because I know I don't have the right to. And that's makes me--" I think I need to visit a psychiatrist, this is not me. I kissed her, and we both gasped as we parted our lips. "Axis" Irish saying my name will be the death of me. My heart beat is getting so loud and I don't want her to hear it. I'm fuckin' shy! "I want to kiss you again, please let me" she nodded and that's a cue. Kissing her is like risking her life already. I know that they still here and I don't care. I'm being selfish now, I want Irish to be with me and I'm going to do anything to keep her.
Before the night ends, I asked Irish to stay in my cabin. I want to keep her safe at all cost that's why I asked her, and she said yes. She's already sound asleep beside me, time for my way out now. I slowly get up because some unwelcome guests are there outside. I put my revolver inside the secret pocket of my pants, saka ako lumabas. "Show yourself morons! There's no point of hiding anyway" I said, though I know them already. "Hey mate! Don't call us morons, it will reflect you" that was Ethan who said that. "Shut the fuck up! And tell me what you want" I want to shoot them now, pero wala akong oras para magligpit ng mga bangkay. "3 days. And after 3 days we need an answer. Or else--" Travis fell on the floor as I punched him hard on the face. "That's a foul mate. But we take that as a yes." Ethan said while helping Travis to get up. 3 days their ass! Nagsasayang lang sila nang oras.
Irish POV
WAKING up is the least thing I do, that's explained the late scenarios. Pero ngayon hindi na, sa tatlong araw na nakastay ako sa cabin ni Axis maaga na kong nagigising. Kung ganito ba naman kagwapo ang gigising sayo, tatamarin ka pa ba? "Good morning, ma belle." He kissed the tip of my nose that made my heart pound, wait a minute did he just said someone's name over me? "Good morning to you too, but I'm not mabelle! Irish is the name you twerp!" Bumangon ako sa kama niya at nagmartsa papuntang c.r pero nakakailang hakbang pa lang ako ng hilain niya ko pabalik. Dahil sa paghila niya sakin nawalan ako ng balanse, and we both know that this is an awkward position. He's currently on top of me, and were inches away from each other. One wrong move and our lips will suffer though not really. I can smell the scent of his mouthwash, so tempting. "A--axis" and why am I stuttering now? "Ma belle is not a name, my muse. It's a french word of beautiful." I just nodded, and my mind went blank, while my heart is getting crazier how am I suppose to survive or I'm going to die because of this? I hope not. My muse? Is that an endearment for me? At ang aga aga pa para mabaliw ako sa kilig, damn! Hindi pala talaga siya nakuntento, mas lalo pa niyang nilapit ang mukha niya sakin. And there, our lips met. He kissed me enough to take away my sanity. Hindi pa ko nakakapagtoothbrush gosh!
After the crazy morning that I'ved experience, we went out for an Island hopping. We already tried all the water sport activities here, at hindi na lang namin nagagawa ang mag Island hopping. Aside from this beautiful island that we are staying with, there are three more islands around. The first one out of the three island is called 'ég' island. When you think of a private tropical paradise, this island is the type of spot that comes to mind. It takes about 20 seconds to walk from one side of the island to the other, weaving through 100 coconut palms that are about the only things on the small patch of sand. The water around the island is crystal clear. We hung out on the beach here for over an hour. Our long tail boat was the only sign of humans in sight, 'ég' island is a spot where you really feel like you are stranded on a remote area. "This is so fascinating, indeed beautiful" I said to him, while my eyes still at gaze on the entire view. "Surely it is, but you know what's more fascinating than this?" Axis said, that's why I look at him. As we stared at each other eyes, my heart beat began to race. He slowly walk towards me, and caress my face. Hindi ako makagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko ngayon, "Wha--what?" I was stuttering because of him. "I'm talking about this-" a soft edible lips touches on mine, at wala na kong nagawa kundi magpaubaya. I wrapped my arms around his neck as we both savoring the moment. Pareho naming habol ang hininga nang maghiwalay ang mga labi namin. "Your lips is so addicting, Irish. I can't stop myself." The feeling is mutual Axis.
'Elska Island' is the second island out of the three, it is a pretty good chill spot. We had eaten in a little bungalow hut. Squid, grilled chicken, buttered shrimp, mango, pineapple, salad, and drinks, that's what Axis and I ordered. There's nothing more satisfying than a seafood feast while looking out over the blue water here. And finally our last stop, the third island out of the three is 'þig' island. A bit of grass is growing on the island nowadays thanks to birds dropping seed but for the most part, this sandy patch in the middle of the ocean is bare. There isn't anything to see on this island at all. A 100 meters of sand, but that is the beauty of it. It's finally time for sunset now, and to my surprise he wraps his arms around my waist making our body become so close to each other. "Weird isn't it? The island's name I mean. Why would they name it so weird that I don't know what language it is" In order to get rid of this certain feelings, kailangan kong magdahilan. Hindi pa rin ako sanay sa mga skinship ni Axis, though I find it very amusing.
"There's nothing weird with their names, my muse." Axis said na ipinagtataka ko. "Really? ég, elska, and þig doesn't weird for you? They are weird for me." I hissed. "My muse, trust me they're not. And to prove it for you I will tell you, ég elska þig Irish." He looked at me while he's saying those words and that's enough to make my heart into trouble. Kahit hindi ko alam kung anong ibig sabihin ng sinasabi niya, somehow within me understand it like I know the meaning. "O--okay" I don't know what to say, kaya okay na lang. Then he smiled, yes he is. At gustong gusto ko kapag nakangiti siya, lalo na kapag ako ang kaharap niya.
"Will you wait for me Irish? Please say yes, wait for me please" Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit sinasabi ni Axis na hintayin ko siya, aalis ba siya? Then realization hit me, we don't have that kind of relationship katulad nang sa iba. Yes, we love the company of each other at hanggang dun na lang yun I think. Pero simula nang magstay ako sa cabin niya, nagbago na lahat. Umasa na ang puso ko, he managed to stay and captured it. Walang kasiguraduhan kong parehas ba kami nang nararamdaman dahil kung hindi-- "Answer me Irish, will you wait for me?" I bite my lips as I looked down, hindi ko alam kung anong isasagot. "I-- I don't know Axis. Why asking me now? Are you going to leave? If that's the reason I don't know anymore. Do you love me? if yes, then I'll wait. And if not, let's forget each other then." I need your answer Axis. Ako naman ang sagutin mo ngayon. "Maam and Sir, pasensiya na po sa istorbo pero kailangan na po nating umalis dahil malapit na maghigh tide" Ang driver ng bangka ang nagsalita. I sighed, at nauna na kong maglakad papunta sa bangka na sasakyan namin.
No one talk, and I think I know the answer now. He's really not into me. Ang daming time para sagutin niya ang mga tanong ko pero di siya nagsalita. Pagdating namin sa resort kaagad na kinuha ko ang mga gamit ko sa cabin niya at bumalik na sa cabin ko. Ganun na lang ba yun? Wala lang ba ko sa kanya? Thank you memories na lang ba? My heart broke into pieces as my tears fell on the ground. Why I'm hurting so much? Bakit kasi nagexpect ako kay Axis? Ni hindi ko nga siya kilala ng lubusan. And yet he manage to captured my heart, damn him! Kung alam ko lang na last day na namin 'to, sana man lang nakapagprepare ako. Naihanda ko sana ang puso ko. I was busy thinking and crying at the same time when I heard a knock on my door. Axis? Sa pagaakalang si Axis yun, I hurriedly open the door. But no, it's not him. And I don't know this man infront of me. "Who are you?" I asked. "Ethan is the name, Mademoiselle." Mademo-- whatever. "Okay Ethan, I'm quite busy right now. So care to explain why are you knocking on my door? Why are you here?" Kailangan ko pang magayos ng damit, dahil gusto ko nang umuwi bukas. Kung pwede nga lang ngayon na ko uuwi eh, kaso gabi na it's too dangerous. "I'm here because I'm planning to get you. What's the word again? Oh! Kidnap you rather." Wha--what?! Napaatras ako sa sinabi niya, at isasara ko na sana ang pinto nang maunahan niya ko.
"Good morning, Mademoiselle. How's your sleep?" I looked at him and I just shrugged. Let me go! Pakawalan mo kong siraulo ka! I can't talk, may busal ang bibig ko. My hands are tied as well. Nakatali din ang mga paa ko. "Sorry to ask that, but don't worry nothing will happen to you unless pumalpak sa mission si lover boy." What is he talking about? Sinong lover boy? Ugh! I need to get out of here. I'm scared as hell right now, I don't know the reason of this man. He kidnapped me! Of all places, why here? In a cave, I'm here in a dark cave. Kahit siguro makatakas ako mahuhuli pa rin niya ko, hindi ko naman alam kung nasan exactly ako eh. Ang alam ko lang, nasa kweba ako. Who will rescue me? Si Jaz? Ang family ko? Ransom ba ang kailangan ng lalaking 'to? My family can't afford that, hindi kami mayaman. My dad is a retired military general at hindi ganun kalaki ang pension niya. What will happen to me now? God, please. Somehow, within me wants him to save me. Find me please, Axis.
