Chapter 43: Chapter 43

38

I got up from the pool and sat here on a chair near the side of the swimming pool. I took the juice from the glass table next to me and drank it as I just watched Wrum come up from the pool as well.

He tells me some stupid things lately and I don't want to remember that again.

Wrum sat down slightly next to me. He also took his juice to the table and drank it.

"I'm going back to the room now." I said, "I'm going to get dressed."

"No," he said.

I stared at him. He can't control me. I am not a robot, I am a human. I got up from my seat and turned to him, had nothing to say to him. I'm already cold and I can't just be in two pieces there until he wants.

Entering the sliding glass door, I went straight to the bathroom to take a shower and so that I could get dressed afterward and removed my two-piece from my body.

I pressed a button and that made for water to fall from the top to my body. It only takes a minute for me to take a shower and then, after that, I wore the bathrobe.

I was just hoping Wrum hadn’t entered here yet. So, that I can get dressed. I opened the door. This is what I am saying. I saw him standing from the side of the bed and has a towel on his shoulder.

Damn it! I still thought he wouldn't follow me here. He stepped closer to me Maybe, he can't think of anything bad to do to me. I won't think about anything else. Maybe I’m just really too ambitious.

He is too close to me. Our bodies were almost touching so, I suddenly realized where I was. Does he have any plans for me? He looked at me seriously and I just waited for his lips to open to speaking.

"Do-Don't do anything to me Wrum." I bit my lower lip.

"Stupid. You're blocking my way to the shower room." I blinked a few times. "So you're thinking that I am going to do such a thing to you right now? Well, that would be nice though," he added.

My Goodness. I didn't expect him to tell me that and I wondered what he was going to do to me.

"Sorry," I said that and left where I was standing and ashamed of what I told him. He might say that I was very ambitious. I remember what we did in the comfort room of the airplane, and my room. My whole system is screaming!

We're kissing, but we're just nothing.

I rolled my gaze towards him and I saw him staring at me like an idiot. "Go inside so I can get dressed here." I changed the topic.

"You can change even if I'm watching."

"I also won't get dressed if you don't enter inside the shower room," I told him.

"That's stupid .... Fine!" he said angrily to me and he immediately entered the shower room.

So, I don’t want him with me in the same room. He's stupid and staring at me like an idiot. I got dressed right before he finally came out.

Damn. Can I still sleep with him when he is next to me in bed? And I would say that I can't sleep when he's with me. If before I was drowsy, now I am gone stupid because of him.

Sitting on the side of the bed and a few moments later, I saw him come out. As expected, I saw him wrapping his towel around his waist. I have already seen him that before.

"I'll get dressed." I heard him said.

I got up from my seat. "Okay. I'll get out of this room first." I answered and immediately came out of the sliding glass door. I don't want to stay here while he dresses inside.

I walked around the resort until I reached the beach. I heard the pounding of the waves. The wind ruffling my hair and touched my skin and it was cold.

No one was here and I am the only one walking now on the good sands. Its whiteness still stands out even at night. I can feel peace in here. The bad feelings that I had been facing are now gone.

I hope this is how peaceful my life is. No problem encountered. But someone said, as a person breathes, they will keep on facing the problem. A problem that we need to face, to make ourselves strong.

"What brought you here?" I heard Wrum's question from behind me to get me back to reality. face to him and I saw that he had put on his clothes again. I am wondering if he is wearing a brief down there. You know, he took a bath in the pool and came here with nothing he carried.

What I am thinking right now? Damn, I am stupid.

"I want to go for a walk first," I answered him sparingly and turned my gaze slightly to the sea. "There's peace in here and you made the right decision Wrum. To rent this. So no one can make a noise." I just told him.

He didn’t immediately answer me. Sea waves, again I hear between us. He also faced the ocean.

"We can't have a peaceful life." I heard him that made me turn to him immediately. "I mean, we're in the middle of a war. You and I are enemies. You're family and my family is the enemy and I know, for sure, there's no peace within it."

"There's a peace within it. If your father will stop this." I explained. "If you just take me back to my family, then, there is peace. You're the only ones who want trouble."

"You're father started it a long time ago. What my father did is to revenge." he just answered me and he turned his gaze to me. "And I won't be going to release you. You'll be with me forever."

Forever? There's no forever. Doesn't he know that?

I just sighed and averted my eyes from him. I just turned it back to the ocean.

"We're going back to Manila tomorrow." he changes the topic. "I know I already told you that, but I need to repeat it and prove to you that I did nothing to your father," he explained. "I know my father accused me that your father is with me. Even though I don't have it." He added.

"Then where is he now?" curiously I asked him since he opens up this topic.

He just looked at me seriously from my eye. "I want you to trust me. And I want to tell you the truth so that you can trust me," he added.

"Tell me, what is it Wrum?"

"Your father ..... To tell you honestly, he's with my father. My father took him, hostage, when I stopped him from getting you and when he made you wear a bikini." he just said to me and I was suddenly nervous.

I was right about what I heard. Flashed back all that was heard from his people. Ever since they killed someone, the reason why they are here in Cebu and why Wrum doesn't want Don Guillermo to see me.

I'm worried about my father. If only Wrum was telling me the truth. My God.

"Now, I'm going to ask you." he asked me back "Do you trust me now?"
