Our flight was quiet until we arrived at a resort in Batangas.
I was immediately taken aback when I got out of the car. From my place I could see the very colorful sea, as if it had its own life as well as the environment.
For some reason, I felt peace.
"Do you like it?" he asked from behind.
"Yes" I admit. I will look like a liar if I deny that.
Along with the strong breeze I opened my arms. I closed my eyes and felt the quiet atmosphere.
It was a long time when the last time I went to the beach. Ayesha and I were so busy at work and with the kids that we almost never thought of going on vacation somewhere.
When I come back son. I'll show you around.
I slowly opened my eyes and just smiled at the thought that the next time I returned to this place, my companion would be my son.
"Beautiful as always" he said so I looked at him.
His dim eyes focused on me. He gently stroked my face and put my other runaway hair in my ear.
I felt my face suddenly heat up at that moment.
Shit Cassandra. It's an old lines, but you react too much.
I avert my face to escape embarrassment and walk into the resort first. I could feel him following me while carrying our suitcase.
The crew greeted us and took care of us. I even secretly fought Andrei when he only took one room for the two of us.
I don't know if I will laugh or be annoyed because his damn reason was he short on money so he only took one room.
A guy with a freakin famous company told me that he was short! Who the hell would believe that ?! ARGHH!
That's why I hurriedly walked with him until we got on the elevator. He hit the third floor where our suit was going.
"Hey" he called softly when the elevator closed and touched my arm.
I quickly moved away from him and he was not covered by even the slightest attention.
I will never notice you fvcker! Over my dead gorgeous sexy body!
I closed my eyes tightly when I realized what I was shouting in my mind.
Fvck! Fvck! Fvck!
I was surprised for a moment when he suddenly hugged me from behind and squeezed his head around my neck.
His favorite position after all.
"Are you mad?" it was very tender as before.
I tried to struggle from his embrace but he tightened his grip even more.
"I'm sorry okay?" he said and let out a sigh.
I can feel his sadness by it. Because of that I stopped running and just let it all go.
Why am I bothered by his sigh? Why do I care? Jeez Cassandra!
"I know I have no right to demand anything ..." he began and gently pulled me to him.
"But can we forget everything first and enjoy the rest of our days together?" he asked and held my hand. He squeezed it tightly before refocusing on me.
"Just for these remaining days Cass. Can we please?" he pleaded again.
I closed my eyes and rested deeply before I looked at him again.
"It's hard but I'll try." My simple answer.
Gradually a small smile flashed on his lips before he hugged me tightly.
"Thankyou" he mumbled and kissed my forehead.
We fixed our things when we got to the bedroom and went down to eat.
I had mini heart attack at times he looked at me as if I were his world. The same goes for his hugs from time to time. I don't fvckin know how to react so I forced myself to just ignore that even though the truth is that my heart almost went out of nervousness.
If he was sweet before and the day before we were together it doubled now.
You like it Cassandra. You agreed to forget for a moment so that's it.
I just rested in my mind.
Maybe I also need to do this to free myself. I will try to forgive him and that will start with forgetting or accepting our past.
I'll do him a favor this time especially and I plan to let him know about Adrian. We both need to be good at least as friends for the child.
"So how's America?" he asked while we were eating. It didn't sound like it was talking, instead it seemed like he just really wanted to hear what I had to say, so I felt astonished.
Maybe I'm just overthinking.
"Okay. Happy" I answered simply and continued eating. No need to prolong because that's it, I'm happy having Adrian by my side.
"You're still happy without me" he mumbled so I stopped eating and looked at him.
"I need to" I answered again and drank water.
"How about you? How are you here in the Philippines? Girlfriend?" I formally asked even though my chest was shaking.
Thinking about him and Yhanna being together.
He smirked, a playful smile appeared on his lips. "I don't have any girlfriend or flings. But I do have a wife." he said while looking at me.
I swallowed and looked away.
This guy is really a pro when it comes to sweet tongue.
"And I didn't stay here in the Philippines for this past few years." he added and continued eating.
"Hmm. Looks like you've done a lot of projects abroad." I said and finished my food.
"If you only knew what I worked for" I heard him whisper then he looked at me and smiled.
I just shrugged and waited for him to finish.
Do I know what an engineer's job is?
