Clyde HUGS my back as we sit on the terrace watching the sunset. His arms were tightly wrapped around my stomach while his head rested on my shoulder.
“The sunset is beautiful…” I said in a low voice.
“Yeah, like you. Nice.” I smiled at what Clyde said.
“You’re handsome too…” I told him in return for what he said.
“I know. That’s why I got you pregnant.”
“The wind is strong.” I said with a smile that made us both laugh.
“With the strong wind, you were blown towards me.” I laughed out loud at what it said.
“Are you a poet now? You’re corny!” I laughed and turned to face him.
“You’re the reason I’m getting corny.” I pinched his cheek after he said that.
“Your jeje and corny today. What did you eat?”
he grinned and shook his head. “You’ve forgiven me because that’s why I’m like this.” He answered which made me smile.
“Because I can’t stand you.” I hugged it tightly.
“That’s why I love you…” My mouth fluttered quickly at what he said. Shit, I’m thrilled!
“I’m ready to be corny for you. I love you so much. ”
My heart seemed to melt at his words. My heart rejoices in what I hear from him.
“I love you so much too.” I answered and hugged him tightly.
“I hate to break this moment, but …” I let go of the hug.
“Why?”
“I’m sorry, we need to go back to Manila.” I immediately nodded at what he said.
Of course, we have to go back. We can’t stay here for life. He has a job and a company he runs, we really need to go back.
“I understand. Why ? Is the company needing you?” I asked and he nodded.
“Yes. Dad doesn’t want to manage it anymore. I understand because he’s old. He needs to relax with mom.” I smiled at that.
“You’re right. When are we leaving?” I will ask.
“Tomorrow. is it okay with you?”
“Sure. I’ll just prepare our things.” He nodded and took my hand. We both stared at each other. I looked at the sunset again and sighed.
“I will miss this place…” I said.
“Don’t worry, we’ll be back here.”
we went hand in hand to the room and worked together to put it away.
THE NEXT DAY I woke up to the loud sound of a helicopter. I stretched and slowly got up. Just in time the door opened and Clyde walked in.
“The helicopter is here. Are you fine? do you still want to sleep? “I shook my head in response to his question.
“I’ll just take a shower first.” I said sharply that it was ready.
“Okay, then. I cooked too. Let’s eat first before leaving. I’ll wait for you, okay?” I nodded and went to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready.
after I showered and got dressed, I immediately went to the dining area. I met Clyde with a man. When Clyde saw me, he immediately approached me.
“You’re here. By the way, he’s Lucifer. He’s my cousin and our pilot for the day.” Clyde’s introduction to the man with a very serious face.
“U-Uhm, hello.” It just nodded at me. I was not comfortable with his serious face.
“I’m sorry. That’s really it.” Clyde whispered to me that I just nodded too.
“Let’s eat first before leaving.” We sat one by one and started eating. I was silent while Clyde and his cousin were talking seriously.
“So, how are you? How’s life?” Clyde smiled and asked his cousin who was still serious.
“Fine.” His cousin answered.
“Really? No girlfriend?” Clyde asked with a smile that seemed teasing.
“You know I don’t want to have a girlfriend. Just flings.” A cold voice answered.
I was just shaken by what I heard. Men again.
“When do you plan to settle ? Get a girlfriend so you can have fun in your colorful world!” Clyde teased but Lucifer just shook his head.
“Girls are boring. I don’t want a serious relationship. I just fvck.” My cheeks flushed when I heard from Lucifer.
It’s very vulgar. I am the one who is ashamed. Clyde’s cousin is obviously a fvckboy.
“I was like that before. It’s good that I saw that for me.” My heart beat faster when Clyde looked at me after he said that.
“You’re cheesy, Clyde.” Clyde laughed and made me blush especially because of what Lucifer said.
“There will come a time when you will be cheesy like me.” Clyde laughed but Lucifer just shook his head again.
“Never.”
The two of them continued talking until the three of us finished eating and were ready to ride.
“Are you ready?” Clyde approached me.
I looked around again. I will miss this place.
“We’ll be back here too. Promise.” He said and held my hand.
I smiled at him and nodded. “Yes, we’ll be back.” We took a ride.
It only took me a few minutes to realize that we were ready to leave this island.
I felt the helicopter lift slowly as Lucifer was in front of us maneuvering the vehicle.
When we were finally in the air, I took one last look at the whole place. The vast sea, the trees, and even the house.
I don’t know how many minutes or how long our trip took. I just realized that the helicopter was slowly landing on the rooftop of the Salvadore company.
When we left, we immediately heard mom Eleanor screaming as she ran towards me.
“Nathania ! oh my God, you’re so gorgeous my dear! “He immediately hugged me tightly.
“Mom, take it easy. You might pinch Nathania’s stomach.” Clyde scolded and scolded the mother when Mom Eleanor finished hugging me.
“I know right! You don’t have to tell me!” It glistened making me smile.
“Nathania, hija.” Clyde’s dad.
“Hello.” I vindicated it.
“Let’s go to your office first Clyde. Nathania might be tired.” Mom Eleanor pulled me over.
When we entered Clyde’s office, Mom Eleanor immediately requested Clyde’s secretary for something to eat.
“I’m sorry tita and tito, but I have to go. I still have meetings to attend so I can’t join you here anymore. Next time nalang ulit.” Lucifer nodded and said goodbye immediately. I was urinating so I also said goodbye.
“Oh, hija! Clyde’s office bathroom is broken. I’ll accompany you to the comfort room outside.” I immediately shook my head at mom Eleanor.
“Don’t do it, it’s me.” Clyde looked at me but I shook my head at him. I immediately went out and thankfully I found the cr right away. but even though I could not enter I heard voices in the hall.
“Stop stalking me, woman!” I peeked out and my eyes widened when I saw Lucifer facing a beautiful woman.
“P-But Lucifer-”
“Stop pestering me and stay away from me!” The woman closed her eyes at Lucifer’s cry. Lucifer immediately left and left the woman there.
When Lucifer finally left, my eyes widened when I saw that the woman started to cry. I suddenly panicked so I immediately approached him.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to see you. Here. “Fortunately I had a handkerchief so I handed it to him.
The woman looked up and smiled sadly.
“S-Thank you …” I didn’t do anything as it also hurriedly ran towards the direction that Lucifer had taken earlier.
Even though I was surprised, I just shrugged my shoulders and went to the bathroom.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
