Chapter 05
POSSESSIVE
It was the best two weeks honeymoon, we didn’t do the deed for Ezekiah has always been a gentleman man to me. We spent all the days enjoying every beach activities, Molokoni and Turtle Arches Snorkeling, Kayak and Sand Toboggan Tour, Parasailing and Bob underwater Adventure, all in all we tried every Water sport packages available in the island.
And Ezekiah and I not only enjoyed all those activities, we had two persons following us all the days of two weeks.
“Pwede bang tumigil na kayo kakasunod saamin? this is our honeymoon! why does the both of you keeps bugging us with your presence?!”
Napapout naman ang magkapatid na Vouston at Vastin, Nakaupo naman kase sila harap ng countertop at naghihintay rin ng agahan kasama ko. Ezekiah is cooking, he always does.
Vouston lay his head on my shoulder i tried to shrug ito off but he is so persistent and hard headed “Why are you bullying us cousin? We just want to bond with both of you what’s the matter with that?”
Ezekiah pulled out a knife he pointed it to Vouston “you better stop touching my wife Vouston or i’m gonna stab with you this”
Vouston just gived him a teasing smirk, Agad namang naglakad palapit saamin si Ezekiah, bago siya nakalapit ay agad akong tumayo kaya naalis ang kaniyang ulo sa balikat ko, nakasimangot naman agad siya.
“Both of you are no fun”
Tinignan ko ng masama si Vouston, “Stop teasing my husband Vouston, or you’ll get no breakfast today” sumimangot ako at umalis sa harap ng counter top para samahan si Ezekiah
“Be like me brother, well behave. I don’t want to get kicked out from the island mansion by this possessive cousin here” tinuro nito si Ezekiah, Ezekiah still has his glare to Vouston but when i tapped his shoulder he looked at me and smile weakly
I touched his face and squish it a bit he smiled after that “Let me help you” i said, he nodded
Vastin shook his head as he clicked his tongue “The boy is whipped, very petrifying”
“Ready yourself kuya, surely mom will find you someone too, you’re very old, you get a wife and get be like this whipped softy” Tinuro ni Voustin si Ezekiah, napailing ako. Voustin has this hobby pissing everyone off
Binatukan naman agad ni Vast si Vouston, napaigik ito at nakasimangot na minasahe ang batok.
“Are you done packing?” Ezekiah whispered as he slice the spam, we ignored the sibling small brawl behind us.
I nodded as i ready the other ingredients “Oo, inayos ko kanina bago ako bumaba”
“Just tell me when you want to leave, i’ll call the pilot”
I nodded and smiled “Can we go back to the city after the sunset?”
Natawa naman siya at ginulo ang buhok ko “You and the sunsets, sige let’s what the sunset before going home”
“Thank you” I gived him the most sincere smile, he chuckled and pinched my face
“Anything for my wife”
Natigilan kami ng marinig namin ang pasuka-suka ni Vouston, si Vastin naman ay nakatingin kay Ezekiah na may pandidiri
“I never thought your a softy couz, i remember how bossy you are, if you don’t like the idea you would just easily say no”
Ezekiah smirked at Vast “I like the idea of watching the sunset with my wife, you got a problem with that?”
Vastin snickers as Vouston rolled his eyes, these two really…
I watched the waves as i sat on the recliner infront of the beach, i had my simple brown beach dress on, Ezekiah is beside me as he sipped his drink. It’s already four pm and we will be going home at five thirty.
I have my camera ready for the sunset. We’ve been here for two weeks and i forgot to take pictures, but no regrets it was a very memorable experience, i might not have something physical to keep the memory but i have captured everything with my eyes and i will forever keep it in my memory.
As we relax i couldn’t stop noticing other tourists looking at our side, or only Ezekiah’s. i even caught one looking at him with pure desire and seems like she wanted to eat him, i couldn’t resist and just gived them a glare, haven’t they notice that Ezekiah has a ring on his finger?!
“Hey why are you pouting like you’re irritated, you don’t like your drink?”
Naisip niya siguro na ganon ang rason dahil hindi ko pa nababawasan ang inumin na hawak hawak ko
I sighed and give him a flat look, “Aren’t you aware?”
He gived me a confused look “Huh?”
Huminga ako ng malalim, and gestured him to look around, he did and he looked at me again looking like he got what i mean.
“You’re not comfortable when everyone is staring at you?”
I gived him a flat look earning a soulful laughter from him, “You jealous?” he asked smirking “Don’t worry wife, sayong sayo ako, wala kang kaagaw”
I was sipping my drink when he said that making me choke, Pinulot ko ang throw pillows na naroon sa recliner at hinampas sa kaniya, hindi man lang siya nag abalang umiwas at tumawa lang, inirapan ko nalang.
Ilang minuto ay unti unti nang bumababa ang araw, napangiti ako habang tinatanaw ang magandang tanawin, agad kong kinaha ang camera ko.
“You really love the sunsets, i will surely bring you back here”
Napangiti ako, nilingon ko siya, nakatigtig siya saakin habang nakangiti rin, nang hinarap ko sa kaniya ang camera ay agad niyang nakuha ang ibig kong sabihin.
Ngumiti siya at nag peace sign pa
“Oh isa pa” ani ko
He acted like henwas looking at the horizon, he wanted candid shot, i captured it.
pagkatapos ay lumapit siya saakin at tinignan ang litrato na nakuha ko. I won’t deny he is really handsome, and his side profile looks really good, the photo won’t justify how he looks in real life.
“Let me get a picture of you too” he borrowed my camera and let me get ready
At first a got bit hesitant and shy but he guided me and instructed me what to pose, all in all he got good shots, he did really good with my photos.
VOUSTON was carrying our luggages pouting, we are now in the island helipad, located on the top of the Carson Hotel.
“I felt like a baggage boy, i couldn’t accept this, I felt so used!”
Binatukan naman siya ng kuya niya “Shut up dwerp you asked for it” ani nito
Tinignan naman siya nito ni Vouston ng masama at bumulong-bulong ito, maybe cursing his brother for bullying him again.
Ezekiah was talking to the pilot, When the V siblings arrived timing that he was done and everything is ready.
He went beside me and held my waist
“Thanks for bringing the luggages” he said to Vouston and Vastin.
Vastin smirked “No worries bud, it’s no sweat”
“Yeah no sweat for you, but it is for me!” Vouston angrily said
Vastin turned to look at his brother, he was wearing a teasing smirk “Natalo kita sa bato bato pick, wag kanang mag reklamo diyan talunan”
“Bwisit”
Napangiti ako sa kakulitan ng dalawa, for the two weeks that we four spent together i got to know them, both of them always have boyish remarks, they like to flirt around and bullying each other, kahit nga si Ezekiah ay palagi nilang binibwesit, It would be Vouston first then Vastin will also follow so. But even though binibwesit nila ang isa’t isa, they can’t deny how close they three are, cursing and irritating each other is their own definition of bonding.
“Have a safe flight two of you, bukas pa kami uuwi since uubusin talaga namin ang two weeks rito sa isla, kung wala lang tinataguan ang isang to sana makakasabay kami sa inyo” ani ni Vastin at tinignan ng masama ang kapatid
I knew about that matter too, Vouston “accidentally” bet on someone, if he looses the little competition he will grant her a wish, he even bet that if he would try to run away from the deal, his brother which is Vastin will be in his place on his behalf, unknowingly he had bet with an heiress of one known multimillionaire company, maybe the woman knew Vouston and took advantage, unfortunately he got kicked and burned so it was marriage for convenience she wants and Vouston doesn’t want to surrender his bachelor life so he is trying to hide.
Vastin knew his brother really messed up this time, that’s why he is with his brother too, though makikita talaga na galit ito kaya palagi g binu-bully ang kapatid, guilty rin si Voust so hindi na pumapatol.
“Good luck for you two too, don’t let the tigress catch you”
“I’ll make sure of that” nakasimangot na sagot ni Vouston
Nagpaalam na kami at agad naring sumakay sa chopper. It was a bit scary at first but with Ezekiah by my side it felt safe and secured.
Mag si-six thirty na nang makarating kami sa syudad, we landed on Carson Building. May nag hihintay saaming driver nang makarating sa car park, i think it was one of their drivers, I’ve seen him drive Mr. and Mrs. Carson before.
“Butler Tim” bati ni Ezekiah rito, agad itong bumati rin pabalik
“Welcome back Young Master”
Ezekiah sighed and massage his head “I told you Butler Tim, stop calling me Young Master, My name is just fine”
Tumango rito si Butler Tim at agad na humarap saakin “Welcome back Young Mistress, I hoped both of you had a wonderful vacation”
Napailing rin ako “You can just call me Abitha, Butler Tim, no need for that”
“Of course Young Mistress” he smiled, he opened the car door and gestured as to get in, “Young master, Your parents ask me to take both of you in the mansion for the family dinner, the Figuruas is present there too they’re all expecting both of you present for dinner”
Lumingon saakin si Ezekiah at inayos ang takas na buhok ko sa mukha, he was looking at me intently “Do you feel okay? are you already tired?”
I shook my head “I’m still good, and I miss them”
I do really feel a little bit tired but if i told him that surely he will tell our parents that i have to rest, i realize he can reach that length when he canceled the restaurant dinner with both of his cousins when i told him i was very tired because of the water activities we did that day.
Ezekiah has been so good to me, he is a definition of a green flag, and i am very lucky that i met the man so unreal like him. This marriage surely is blessing too.
We arrived at the mansion where everyone is waiting for us, when we entered the household the helpers greeted us.
Tita Evening went to us with Mom. Mom embraced me the same with Tita Evening with Ezekiah.
“How’s the two weeks dear, you look radiant” Mom said as she look at me happily
I gived her a happy smile, “Two weeks in the island was so fun Mommy, We explored the different tourist spots and experience different beach activities, not only that i met Vouston and Vastin, Ezekiah’s cousins”
Looked like Tita Evening was listening to my stories too.
“Oh you met Voust and Vastin, They couldn’t attend your wedding because both of them was very busy with the business, but they really kept their promise that they will met you both and congratulate both of you”
Napasimangot naman si Ezekiah, “Not only that mom, both of them literally spent the two weeks, sunod ng sunod ang dalawa kung saan kami mag punta”
Tita Evening laughed because of what Ezekiah complained “You know how those two love to tease you, Parang hindi kapa sanay”
“Yeah, and because of that i couldn’t have a private quality time with my wife”
Namula ako dahil sa hindi inaasahang ani ni Ezekiah, Both Mom and Tita Evening looked at me with teasing smile and delight
This will surely be a very long night for me and Ezekiah.
