I tightly closed my eyes after I woke up the next day. I tried remembering what happened last night, start from the dinner when I ate the shrimp, the attack of my allergy, Renz taking care of me and the unexpected happened between us last night again.
I want to scream. Something happened between us again. Oh my!
I close my eyes tighter and held the blanket closer to my body, I’m resisting myself from screaming. But wait, why am I stopping myself? I’m sure he’s not here anymore.
Just like the first time, he is gone the next day.
I decided to finally scream loudly and remove the blanket in my face. I wanted to scream and loosen up what I am currently feels.
“What’s happening to you?” I choked for stopping myself from screaming and I almost jumped out of the bed when I heard his familiar voice.
He is standing beside the table on where the laptop is place and a cup of coffee with a lot of paper scattered. My eyes widen while staring at him. Is he real? Or am I dreaming.
Oh please tell me I’m dreaming.
But I heard his voice, I heard he spoke. My heart rate grew faster when he come closer.
“What are you doing here?” I can’t help but to ask him while pointing him.
His mouth hanged slightly open while his forehead creased. He stopped near my bed while staring at me. I held the blanket that covering my body.
Oh geez! Thanks God I’m already dress.
But wait! Who dressed me? Even I can’t remember that clearly, I can still remember that I didn’t fix or dress myself after we did it. My face heated up when I remembered what we did.
I glance back at him that I quickly regret because I can’t help but to stare at his naked upper body. He is just wearing a soft shorts. My mind is playing with his well built body, the feeling of caressing his wide chest down to his hard stomach or I must say his toned abs.
I almost fell back from the bed when I pulled myself backwards when I saw his face right on my face. He’s bending his body forward while his two hands where on the bed that guiding him while his face is right on mine.
“You’re staring, that’s rude you know.” I don’t know how I should react in front of him, if I should be shy or I will jump because of the uncertain feeling I felt on the way he is smiling at me right now. s**t!
Is this true or my eyes are just playing with me? He is smiling at me.
I wanted to caress his face right now. And so my hand rise by itself just to touch his face but something played. I turned where it coming from. It is his cellphone.
I forehead creased. Someone is calling him.
When I turned back at him, I thought he will pick up his phone already but I was wrong. He remained right in front of me and he is even staring at me.
I gulped. “S-someone is calling on your phone.”
He just stared at me for seconds before he stood up and pick up his phone to answer the call.
I’m just staring at him, he turned away and facing the window while he is holding his cellphone on his right hand while the other one is holding the cup of coffee. The rain stopped but still, the sky is dark.
How does he endure without an upper clothes even the weather is cold?
I didn’t notice how long he has been talking on this phone. I just notice him fixing his things already. Based on the expression of his face, something is not good. Does something happen?
I stood up from the bed and he glanced at me.
“I-is there a problem?” I carefully asked.
He comes near me that my heart almost jumped out from my body when he caressed my head, the strands of my hair. I haven’t combed my hair yet.
“I need to go.” Why does he sound like he is asking a permission from me? I just nodded.
“I’ll take this laptop of Jo and leave mine instead.” He said while staring at the laptop of Jonas on the bedside table.
“H-huh?” I am more than surprise.
“You take care.” I almost loss myself when he kissed me on my forehead. Damn! I froze on my spot until he left the room.
I don’t know how many minutes had passed when I heard the sound of the car engine until it was gone on my hearing.
I touch the part of my forehead where he kissed me. What? It’s not even our first kiss, we even kiss more than that yet there’s something warm touched the inside of me that made me wanted to jump or my heart jumped out of me.
The kiss feels so sincere, I felt so secure.

“Jonas! That one. That! Get it.” I pointed the big green mango I saw. It looks so delicious. It makes me crave.
“Geez Mansanas, that’s too far.” He complained. He is up in the tree, his two feet is above the two strong branches of the tree. Yes, the fruit I am pointing is a bit far from his position but I like that one. He can’t move around because of the branches are fragile.
I pouted and stamped my feet like a kid. “But I like that one.” I know I’m being unreasonable for acting like that but I really like that. I big and green it looks really sour and tasty.
“I told you it’s far, Mansanas.” He shouted back.
I turned my back from him and whined like a child while walking away from him and the tree. It’s irritating! I want green mango, it look so tasty.
I heard the movement of Jonas going down the tree and chased me. “Hey Mansanas! Don’t worry I picked a lot of mangoes already.” He said when he reached and walked along with me. He’s fast huh. He really has a long pair of legs. Well, a huge man anyway.
I glared at him. “I don’t like that!”
“What!” He scratched his head. “It’s all the same, what are you whining for.”
I shook my head. “No! The one I’m pointing looks good and tasty. I want that!” I looked at the mangoes he’s carrying. “I don’t like that!” I’ll stand for what I want! I want that, only that.
“This is delicious too. It smells sweet.” He took one from them and gave it to me.
I slapped his hand away. “Took it away, it smells bad. Also, I want the sour one.” I complained.
Jonas took away the mango while scratching his head. He looked confuse yet he took another mango that still color green. “This one doesn’t looked riped. This will taste sour.”
I glared at him again. “I don’t like that, it’s small.” I want the big one.
His forehead creased. “You’re complicated!” He complained.
We are already near the rest house and we keep on arguing about the mango. What is so complicated about it? I told him I wanted the big green mango that looks sour and tasty. He is the complicated one giving me ripped mango and small one. He didn’t listen, he didn’t get what I wanted.
“You know what, you’ve been acting like that since last week. You’re always annoyed and irritated. What did I do? Do you have another visitor today?” I know he’s trying to be funny but yes, he is annoying and irritating in my eyes lately. I know sometimes he’s trying to make me laugh but I always end up irritated at him. Then I remembered I haven’t had my menstrual for this month yet. I’m already delayed.
His smile grew wider while staring at me, he thought he was right.
I slapped him in his arm. “Heh! You’re ugly!” I complained at quickly went inside the house.
I heard his loud laughter that echoed inside the house. “Oh come on. Admit it, I’m very much handsome.”
It really annoys me. Yes, he is handsome I admit it but he really look annoying in my eyes right now. He’s freaking ugly!
“You’re ugly!” I shouted at him again.
It’s been a month that Jonas is staying here in the rest house. He said that Sir Carlito let him have his leave because it’s summer. I’m actually wondering why he choose to spend his vacation here. All he said, he is already bored with the out of country that’s why he choose to stay here. Arrogant jerk!
I also found out that Renz is in Europe with his wife, Isabel. It’s already their plan to have a cruise tour in Europe for this summer. Sir Carlito was left to manage their business in Manila.
It’s been more than a month also since the last time I saw Renz yet his kisses never left my mind. But he is now happy cruising around Europe with his wife.
I smiled bitterly. Why am I feeling envious?
I slowly felt dizzy. I tried to keep my balance in the wall but I slide myself down. Good thing Jonas catch me before I eventually collapse on the floor.
“Hey, are you alright?” he worriedly asked while helping me to get up. I didn’t have any chance to answer him because my eyes slowly closed and I already loss my senses.
