Chapter 36 - Drown 35

We spent our first day in Coron in Bed. Both of us were insatiable, I felt warm inside,  not to mention the beauty of the place made it more magical.

If I didn't have a control, we would've been making love non-stop. It's so funny how we tainted this cabin, Gosh. Zach was so into it that we did it in the kitchen, in the veranda, and in the deep blue island of Coron!

I was so freaking scared but at the same tired thrilled because someone might see us! Although, I know no one would dare to go here if we didn't call for help.

Our meals were taken care off by the crews and if we want some snacks, we just need to call their hotline and they'll deliver it via digital mini boat.

But the next day, I convinced Zach to explore the caves here in Palawan and we didn't regret it.

Everything is so majestic, I felt like a kid while my eyes roam around.

The water is freaking clear! Gosh, I didn't know this kind of place exist until now.

As we road a boat with the help of the two worker, we were able to visit 3 caves. They said those were the only cave available for the tourist like us, unfortunately... Some part of the Island are private property.

I also noticed how few the tourist are in here, when I asked the bunker, he said they only let limited guest because as much as they can, they want to preserve the Island.  I didn't know how Zach made an impronto plan, but I can say.. He plays his card very well, I wonder who's connection he used?

But needless to say, I enjoyed it.

"What would you like to do tomorrow?" Zach broke the silence between us as he pinned his face in my neck.

"Probably, snorkeling?"

"Okay, snorkeling tomorrow. What about now, don't you want to visit the town?"

I thought of it for a bit, visiting the main town is a good a idea. I should buy something for souvenir purpose.

"Okay , maybe later by Four? The sun is down at that time"

He simply nodded at me. 

Coron Island weather is amazing, it's not too hot but it's warm and refreshing.

I wore my skimpy bikini and swam, I told Zach to take a picture of me and he did.

We were laughing all through out, I tried not to focus on his body as much as I can because I'm really controlling my hormones.

"C'mon! What kind of picture is this, I look so stupid, Zachary!" I spat angrily, but this Jerk only laughed at me.

His laughter vibrated and echoed. I shook my head but still deleted my photo. I swear, I look like a sea lion trying to flap his useless wings in the air! 

"You looked cute."

I rolled my eyes. "Cute my eyes." He's so annoying, I had no choice to swam further and when I thought it's enough, I floated on the water.

"Come closer, I promise, this one will look good!" He shouted.

Waving my hand, I told him. "Just a minute." I'm still enjoying the sun lighting my face and the cold water that relaxes my whole body.

Not a moment later, I heard splash of water, as I look back, I saw Zach back muscle that made me feel so thirsty, the way his biceps flex whenver he stroke..Dayum.

When he's near me, he went deeper and to my shockness he slide both my legs unto his shoulder.

I squealed!

"Zach!" I wasn't sorry when I pulled his hair so I won't  lose my balance. .

"This is not a pool!" I reprimand him. He just chuckled.

"But it's also not deep, my feet can reach the ground, you know"

"But still!" My protest was cut of when he tighten his grip.

"Come, let's take a picture togther" He said and he guided the both of us, closer to our floating cabin.

I saw his phone, standing near the cliff of the lounge.

He raised one of his hand and he click the button on that mini camera remote control.

I shook my head and smiled at the camera while he took a bunch of picture of us.

That wasn't the end, we had some pictures in where i was drowning him, a picture where he carried me bridal style and many more.

"Tired?"  He asked after we played in the water.

"Tss, of course! You didn't let me win!" I was pertaining to the splashing of water we did a while ago.

I seriously choked some water!

"Baby, you started it." His face is smirking. I rolled my eyes and snorted.

The chuckling Zach approached me and hug me on the side. I sighed.

"It's weird" I said.

"Hmm?"

"You're the one who's clingy now." As i tilted my head, my eyes darted on him.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became serious.

"That's what happen when you lose something precious to you, so when it comes back. You will treasure it even more."  He softly whispered.

Immediately, I felt a lump in my throat.

"And now, I'm trying my best on taking care of it." He continued and then, his eyes went on me. They were sparkling, I don't know if its because of tears or the sea water.

I could feel the sincerity but my heart couldn't take it, she couldn't accept it.

What I heard were like an empty words that kept repeating inside my head.

"I love you." Zach whispered hoarsely,  his hug tightened and he buried my face into his chest.

The sound of his heartbeat was like a punch in the gut. I choke a sob.

Why can't I just accept him again? why can't i just push trough this relationship?

But if I risked my heart, will everything be alright? We both agreed to part ways after two months.

And he don't break promises, neither do I.

"Yeah, I love you.. Zach." I spoke bitterly.

I knew then, that would be the last 'I love you' I'll be going to say to the man once loved, and to the man I've risked everything for.
