"Do you have any food?" I asked him after I finished a piece of donut.
"Do you want to try drive thru?" He asked. I nodded.
I don't know what drive thru means but I guess it's fun. He turned the car after we saw the sign of mcdonald's.
He let me choose the food of my choice so I choose what I wanted since he's going to pay.
"I want that toy." We're not even moving for where we're ordering.
"The pony?" He asked, puzzled. I keep mumbling those toy until he recognized it. Well, he's ordering that's why he can't understand me.
I shook my head. "No, lightning mcqueen."
"Why do you need a toy by the way?" He asked.
"I just want it!" I said to him with a puppy eyes but in a commanding tone.
"Fine, whatever. I'll get you two." He twitched his lips and talked to the order receiver guy.
Those cars on our back keeps horning.
My brother horned back at them. "Those shits can't wait."
"I think they're in a hurry." I said and took a glimpse on the back. A lot of cars are there.
"They shouldn't meddle, we're here first." He said. "Besides, this is the first time that I ordered for you so let their asses wait."
Finally, after he talked we drove and wait.
Later on, we got what we wanted. I didn't wait any longer, I eat again.
"Give me." He said.
"You have your own hands." I replied while dipping my fries on the mcflurry.
"Idiot, I'm driving. Just give me." He scoffed.
I feed him with fries and everything what he want while he's focusing on the road.
"I'm full, stop."
I shrugged and go back to eating again.
I looked outside. It's getting sunny, maybe it's already lunch time.
When I think of the word 'lunch' I remembered Kaios, I wonder if he take his lunch.
Speaking of lunch and Kaios...Wait?! What?! Now I remembered! I promised to eat with him!
How stupid I was to not to think about those! I didn't even told him that I can't because I'll leave for a day!
I really hope he won't wait for me.
Huhu, why did I forget about it?!
"What's with the face?"
I faced him.
I didn't say a word but stares at him blankly.
My brother is good-looking but I preferred to call him gorilla. His eyes were ocean blue (like mine), a thick but clean eyebrows suits how sharp his eyes is and let's add how pointed his nose is. Maybe he's true that girls from California is crushing to him especially he have that thin plum lips. My brother is a mestizo, but for me, he's a living gorilla of Vargas Family.
"Yah, don't stare at me with horror. I'm asking you." He flicked my forehead that brings me back to reality.
"I just remembered something."
"And what is that?" He's just taking a glance on me since he's focusing on the road.. because if not, for sure we're going to die.
I couldn't get any words to answer him. As the time passed, he raised his eyebrows when he realized that I don't want to answer him.
"Nothing!"
I don't want to tell him anything about Kaios. He might tell it to Dad then Dad will tease me again as if there's not tomorrow.
And it might gotten into worst...if Mom finds out.
But why do I need to fear them where in the first place I don't intend to fall in love with that old grumpy dragon?
Erase...erase... erase.
Nurse Kim is there, probably, she's taking a good care of him... and I guess, Kaios won't be mad at me for ditching... right?
Right?
Right!
I keep nodding my head but stopped when Rain moved the car that made me bang my head on the window.
"Ouch!"
"Oops, sorry... There's a biker, I just can't hit on him even though he's on the wrong lane." He explained.
I twitched my lips.
After an hour of driving, we're on a road full of dancing trees.
"Turn off the AC!" I told him. He didn't listen so I hit his arm.
"I said, turn off the AC."
"Can you be a little nicer?"
I scoffed. "Could you please...turn off the...AC?"
"Good."
He turned off the AC and even opened the windows for me. I took my seatbelt off my body and kneeled on the chair to face he window.
My lips formed 'O' with the trees I am seeing. I flap like a bird after hearing water nearby. I look like a kid being amazed with small things but with a lot of curiosity.
My brother didn't open his mouth and it's a good thing because I feel like I'm a bird with freedom.
My eyes widened with the one turn of the car. I can finally see a beach!
"Oh my God!" I shouted out of happiness.
Not so far away, I can see the ocean. Wind hit my face and it's the most refreshing thing I ever experienced.
When my brother parked, I couldn't wait anymore longer.
I opened the door and bring the bag with chocolates with me. I'm about to ran away when someone hold the back of my dress.
I look up and see a gorilla. "Let me go."
"Wait for me. Mom will hit me if I'll lose you."
"Fine." I stood where I was standing and crossed my arms to wait.
He went back to his car. When he went back to me, he put a hat on my head and hold my hand.
"Let's go."
We walked with him holding my hand forcing me not to go anywhere while he's holding a bag. I don't even know what's inside but I guess it was his clothes.
"What's with that bag?"
He looked at me. "Our clothes."
"Maybe you've got it wrong for me. You don't know my size." I said to him.
"Mom is the one who packed this, don't question anything nonsense." He said.
I rolled my eyes.
I squeak like a seal and jump on the last stair to meet the sand. I even drag my brother with me cause he's not letting me go.
I hop on the sand with the widest smile I have.
"Yah! Stop it!"
"This is the sand! Wow! it's soooooo cool!" I let go of his hand and let myself fall on the sand.
"What the fuck?! Reina!"
I lay comfortably and try to do a fairy...not in snow but in sand...and it's soooo freaking lit!
"What?" I giggled.
He scratched his head and sighed tiredly. "Stand up."
"No." I shook my head. I like it here.
I can even live here all alone.
He sighed violently.
I'm flustered when he carry me...with one arm. I look like a sack of rice.
"Bring me down, stupid!" I hissed.
"It's a way for people to enter, it's not for you to play." He said. "You're idiot. You can play on the side of the ocean."
I immideatly stood up and cling on his arms. "Let's go then."
He shook his head and rolled his eyes.
We went to a cottage. My Dad immideatly smiled seeing me, he poke Mommy's arm and point at me.
"Hi Mommy..." I greeted.
Everyone from the cottage shifted their gaze on me. I smiled shyly. Among them, there's only one guy who have the same eyes like me and my brother.
My Mom chuckled. "Come here."
"Who are these people?" I whispered to my brother.
"I don't even know them. But that's Zoren."
"The guy with blue eyes?"
"Yeah." he nodded and pushed me inside. "Mom is calling you."
Mom introduced me to them and telling them I'm big. It's really obvious that I'm big, it's really making me embarrass when those Tita's went to me asking me if I have a boyfriend.
"Do you have a boyfriend? You're so pretty to not own anything, Hija." She said.
Dad is smiling with a tease and mouthed. "Kaios."
My eyes grew big and acted as if I'm disgusted. Dad chuckled.
"I don't have..." I shook my head.
They keep asking me questions and I'm getting impatient with them. The ocean is calling as if I'm Moana.
"Can I swim?" They stopped questioning me. "I'm here for swimming, I don't have a boyfriend... so, your questions are null. My time for the ocean might me lesser than I thought, so I'll go now."
They all looked at each other.
I immideatly run away leaving Zoren, my Brother and Daddy chuckling.
I saw a comfort room. I went inside and took of my dress. I'm now wearing a bandeau and a thongs. This is the first time that I wear this and by looking at the mirror, it suits me. I don't feel any embarrassment towards my body. I guess I'm confident enough.
I went back to the cottage.
"What are you wearing?" My brother asked with eyebrows who almost lined.
"You look good, honey." Mama smiled and get ny dress from me.
I stick my tongue out and run before my brother grab me.
When I'm kinda far away, I stopped from running and held my chest.
A smile formed on my lips when I stopped inches from the ocean.
I feel butterflies on my tummy when the water reach my feet, I moved my finger and giggled.
I look up.
The skies are blue and the clouds are white. Birds flew around as my hair was blown by the wind. I can feel the sun hitting on my body as the fresh air lingers through. Water who keeps coming back gives me chills... finally, another's freedom...with permission.
"You look like an idiot." I heard my brother's voice from my back.
I turned around to face him.
I frown seeing him. he's topless and with beach shorts only. he's wearing a sunglasses and even holding a camera. Now I wonder why girls who's passing by keep looking at him. He's flexing his body but for me, he still looks like a gorilla.
"And you're stupid."
He rolled his eyes. "We bring you before on the beach, what's with you face?"
"I can't remember that, and if you bring me before, probably I'm still a baby and I couldn't remember." I said. "This is the first time that I went out from that hospital and it's reasonable to me to look at everything with adore!"
"Whatever you say. Pose for a picture."
"Really?!"
"Yeah."
He took my photos. I'm posing really hard just like those victoria secret's angels that I've watched from youtube.
I'm sitting on the sand while my brother is taking a photo of me when I saw a bunch of men who's looking at me while smirking.
I get so unconscious and uncomfortable so I covered my long wavy ginger hair on my body. My brother notices it and look around. When he meet those guy's eyes, he glared at them that made those jerks turn their backs and walkaway.
"Do you want to ride with me?" He asked. Both of us are looking at the jetski.
"I can ride on my own." I replied and crossed my arms on my chest.
"Let's see. Go and choose yours. I'll took a video." He urged.
I hopped out of excitement until I reached to one of those jetski. I ride the color black and looked at my brother who's holding a controller.
I look up and a drone is flying at the top of me. I flashed a smile and do a peace sign.
I drive the jetski and I couldn't stop myself from giggling. This is the first time that I ride and drive this one but I never expected that I'm good.
On the seaside, our parents stood beside my brother. I even saw Dad holding a binoculars so I waved my hand and smiled when he waved back.
I parked in front of them and catch my breath out of happiness.
I hop down and went to them giggling.
"Are you okay?" Dad supported me.
I smiled and nodded. "Yeah, It was fun!"
Mom shook her hair with a smile. "I thought you're going to fall from that jetski from the big wave."
I shrugged. "Maybe, I'm friends with the water. I'll try to surf later." I giggled.
"Alright, let's take a picture." Rain lift his phone up. My dad put his arms on my shoulder while Mommy hug Rain beside.
Zoren also took our photo to see the ocean clearly.
I'm sitting on the hammock swing while eating barbeque. My brother is in front of me, eating too.
"What else can we do in here?"
"Wakeboard, there's also a inflatable playground somewhere I couldn't locate. If you're bored enough, just pilot the chopper." He replied full of sarcasm.
I rolled my eyes and continue to eat.
I look around and saw Mommy talking with someone. She looks so happy.
"Who's that?"
"Who's who?"
"The guy who's talking with Mommy." I don't know what happened but suddenly, my heart flinched for a second seeing them. I don't have any reasons to find out why did I feel those but it's too strange.
"Ah..."
I turned around to face my brother. He's staring at them too.
"I...i guess, it's her friend." He replied, unassured.
I nodded. "If it's Mom's friend, it should be dad's friend too right?"
"H-huh?"
"Right?"
"Y-yeah." he nodded. The way he respond is too suspicious. Does he know something and wouldn't tell me?
"Then why is that..." I took a glimpse on Daddy who's sitting alone while staring at them. "Dad is all alone, staring at them?"
He shrugged and didn't say anything.
Maybe, it's not really suspicious, I just assumed.
"Don't believe anything you're thinking." I look at my brother again. He's serious when he stared at me. "Mom and Dad is fine."
I nodded. "Yeah, maybe, I'm just fond of seeing things, I never saw before." It drives my curiosity lately.
