Cruise ship date
The next day I woke up kinda late dahil late na kami nakatulog ni Tristan kagabi. I had so much fun last night. He never failed to make me feel special. Ever.
Didn't wake you up na, babe. Late for work. Eat your breakfast and I'll see you later sa break ko. 3 o'clock.
I love you always.
I read the note he left together with my breakfast before eating. What should I do today? A smile came to my face when I thought about bringing snacks to Tristan pero ano naman? I can't cook anything because I don't have a kitchen here and I'm sure that they are not gonna let me use the kitchen here.
Nag handa na ako para makababa na at dun nalang mag hanap ng bibilhin ko na snacks para kay Tristan. It's nothing special but I just want to take care of him. I walked around the ship looking for something to buy. May mga store naman dito and I decided to just buy him a healthy snack. So I got him an oatmeal crackers and a carrot juice. Yep, ganyan ka healthy living si Tristan. However, bumili din ako ng burger and fries, just in case.
It's already 2:50 and it's almost his break time so pupunta na ako sa hallway kung saan papunta sa work area nila. I'll just wait there, hindi nya alam na nandito na ako.
I stood up there waiting patiently wala din naman masyadong dumadaan dito dahil for staff naman dito. I stood up properly when I saw the door open expecting it to be Tristan but it was someone else.
"Hi ma'am! Good afternoon. Waiting for someone?" The guy in a marine uniform which I think is a bit older than Tristan asked looking at me. I gave him a small smiled before answering. "Uh, yeah. I'm waiting for Tristan. I'm his girlfriend." I replied and smiled at him again.
"Oh, so ikaw pala ang girlfriend ni Tristan. Swerte nya naman." He replied looking at me up and down as if examining my body. I was starting to get uncomfortable, is he trying to flirt with me? "Anyways, he'll be out any time now. You're a beautiful girl and I know you deserve better." He added before giving me a sad smiled and walked away leaving me confused with what he meant.
It's probably nothing, he was just flirting with me. Just in time pag alis nung lalaki lumabas na si Tristan, he was wearing his orange cover up suit.
"Shan!"
"Surprise! Hi, baby" I greeted running up to him to hug him and he gladly took me in his arms and kissed my forehead. "Why didn't you tell me that you were going to wait for me here? I can just go to our room." He replied smiling at me while holding me by the waist. "I bought snacks for you. I know you're tired. Come on." I replied wiping the sweat on his forehead.
Kahit pawis pawis si Tristan and his hair is all messy, damn, he still looked good and ang bango nya parin. I even think he got more attractive with his hair this messy.
"Tristan, sabay na tayo- OH, Shan. Nandito ka pala." Rose said when she noticed me with Tristan. So, sabay ang break nila. "Yes, rose. Dinalhan ko lang ng snacks si Tristan." I replied and gave her a smile and she just gave me a small smile then looked at Tristan. Wala samin ang nag salita.
"Come on baby. Kain na tayo." Tristan said breaking the silence and pulled my hand and we started walking to the entertainment area where passengers can stand by and relax. "Wow, mabuti nalang bumili ka nitong crackers dahil ito talaga ang naisip kong kainin ngayon." Tristan said laughing as he sipped on his carrot juice. See? He'd prefer that over some burger and fries. We started eating and talking about random things and just enjoying our time together.
While we were laughing at something, the same guy who talked to me a while ago came over to us and tapped Tristan on his back.
"Sir, good afternoon." Tristan greeted while standing up and showed respect to his superior and I stood up as well. "Good afternoon, sir." I greeted too smiling. He is not really old and he doesn't look bad too but compared to Tristan? Wala, eh. Walang wala.
"Tristan, I met your girl a while ago. She was waiting for you down the hallway. Aren't you a lucky man, huh?" He smirked and looked at Tristan then back at me. What's up with him? Ang weird nya ata, bakit para syang galit?
"Uh, yes sir. I'm really lucky to have her. If you'll excuse us, sir. I have to get back on duty. I'll just take my girl back to our cabin." He replied at nagpaalam na. I could feel so much tension between them. Tristan pulled me away from our spot and we started walking back to our room.
"Tristan, what's up? Is everything okay?" I asked when we got inside the elevator. "Anong pinag-usapan nyo nun?" He asked and he sounded mad. "Are you mad? Wala naman. I was just waiting for toy there nung dumating sya, yun lang." Sabi ko habang tinitignan si Tristan. He sighed and took a deep breath.
I'm really confused now. What the hell is happening?
"For the rest of your stay here, stay away from that man. Play boy yun, shan at alam kong may pagnanasa yun sayo." He replied really frustrated now. Well, I know that. I mean I sensed it already but parang may ibang sinasabi yung tao eh. I didn't want to add up to Tristan's stress so hinayaan ko nalang. After taking me back to our room he went back to work and I had nothing to do again so I just stayed in our room watching movies and waited for Tristan to come back after work.
My days in the cruise ship was fun all because of Tristan. For the following days we had the same routine because of his work, we'd have breakfast together then when he's off to work I spend my time at the gym, go swimming then meet up with Tristan for his break time then we have dinner and just spend our time together. I really couldn't ask for more.
I've been here in the ship for almost a month now which means I'll be going home soon and I'm back to missing Tristan again but it's okay dahil four months after I go back home, uuwi na din si Tristan so konting tiis nalang.
"You ready for our Cruise ship date?" Tristan asked hugging me from behind while I was getting ready. We were wearing sporty attires because according to Tristan, this isn't your typical date. Fancy restaurants, fancy clothes and etc. It's his day off today so he's taking me on a date.
"Oh my gosh! Tristan, ayoko ko!!!" I said while laughing hard when I knew what we were doing first. "Ang saya nito, shan. Sige na! Please?" He replied cupping my face while we were lining up for the speedy zip line. Yes, zipline! It's Hovering decks above the boardwalk, the zipline stretches an impressive 82 feet. Can you imagine that?! Natatakot ako but at the same time, gusto ko because I haven't tried this one and I want to conquer my fear and to just enjoy.
"Okay fine!" I said laughing as we got nearer for our turn. Tristan couldn't stop talking about how excited he was and all. When it was out turn, na una na si Tristan na nilagyan ng safety equipments around his body kaya naman naging panatag din ang kalooban ko ng makita ko ang safety equipments. Hindi naman siguro ako mahuhulog nito.
"Your turn, ma'am." The guy in charge for putting the safety equipment said while waiting for me to walk closer to him. I am shaking because I'm nervous! "No, I'll be the one to put it around her." Tristan said while grabbing the equipment from the guy. I was shocked with that Tristan did and so was the guy.
"Sir, you can't do that. You don't know how to properly put it." The guy protested while looking at Tristan putting it all over my body. Oh, I know why. He's being protective, huh. He doesn't want another guy touching my body. "Of course I know how to do this! I work here, I'm a cadet of this ship." He replied and that made that guy shut up.
"Damn, good thing I know how to put this thing on or else we would have to cancel. I don't want other guys touching you and your body. You are mine. All mine."
