7 months later…
“It’s cool to be here in
Batangas. I love the water. It makes me want to swim.” Cedric told Dylan who is
standing beside him.
“Me too. I love here. I
love the breeze!” She said filling her lungs with air.
“Hey lovers, time for
dinner. Don’t keep Tita Mardz
waiting. Let’s go!” Brannon called.
“Ok! We’re coming!” Cedric
shouted back. “The rain made us really crazy!” He turned to Dylan with eyes
glaring with merriment.
“It’s because you started
it!” She answered in high glee. Then, they walked hand and hand inside the
house.
They were actually
standing at the garage. Cedric parked his car adjacent to her Tita’s ford fiesta. They were not able
to push to Batangas because of the bad weather. The Batangas was plan by Cedric
no less. They were supposed to celebrate their 7th month there with Brannon , Frances
After devouring into the
most coveted sinigang of Tita Mardz,
all these four teenagers mounted to Dylan’s room.
As the rain furiously and
continuously drumming their roof, Frances, Brannon, Dylan and James were
blissfully exchanging stories as they watch Salt,
an Angelina Jolie movie.
It was few minutes after
midnight. Tita Mardz peeked at the
room. “Time to sleep boys!”
Then there was sighs of
disappointment.
“But, it’s still early Tita.” Brannon spoke his heart but
Cedric chose not.
“Well, in my house, It’s
late and it’s time to sleep” Her Aunt firmly said.
“Yeah sure Tita. We’ll follow you shortly” Brannon
stood up, showing to Aunt Mardz his willingness to obey.
“In 15 minutes okay?”
“20?” Brannon asked with
pleading eyes.
“12!” Aunt Mardy said
mounting her brow and then she left.
“She’s scary!” Brannon
said whispering
The three beings in the
room fell into silent laughing. Brannon was really scared.
Cedric recovered first so
he stood up to hug Dylan. “Goodnight Dylan” He said holding her tightly with no
thought of letting her go. Her hands around his shoulders, and his on her
waist, no one seems to matter but the two of them. “Wishing to hold you this
way…forever!” He mumbled gently.
It was raining no more
when Dylan woke up. Dylan’s sleepy eyes stared at Frances
She’s just few steps off
her room when she noticed someone standing at the terrace. It was Cedric!
“You wake up so early. Still
thinking of the beach?” Dylan asked
“Nope! Place wont really matter
as long as you are with me” Cedric was smiling.
“So you’re the new spongebob
huh!?” Dylan was pinching his nose.
“Where did you get that?”
He frowned
“You grow softer each day,
don’t you notice?” She asked cheerfully
“You don’t like it?”
“I like it a lot!” Dylan
gladly replied.
He hugged her from the back as they stood
before the railings of the terrace. “I like your smell.” He touched his nose to
her long, dark wavy hair.
“It must be my lavender
shampoo.” She answered as she feels her pulse escalated due to their closeness.
Minutes passed and they
were still in the same position. Dylan
talked. “I’m planning to take entrance exams in several universities this week.
What about you?”
Cedric smiled. “I am
planning to study in the same university of your choice!”
--------
“Dad wont be able to make
it.” He told Dylan after his father’s call. His brown eyes were quite gloomy.
“Don’t worry. You still
have me.” She said holding tighter to his hand as she gave her best smile.
Today is the 8th
National Swimming Challenge. Over 150 swimmers will be competing for different
events. Cedric prepared so hard for this. This event is important for him so as
for Dylan. She is willing to give all the support he needed.
“You are really my angel,
thank you!” He lovingly looked at her while touching her chin. “I don’t know
what to do without you”
“Anything for you…
boyfriend” She winked.
“You’re cute.” Cedric
stole a kiss on her lips.
She hits his chest. Pak! “You always do that!”
“You always do that too!”
He said smiling as if he likes the pain.
“Cedric!” His coach
called.
“I need to go!” And he
touched his lips to hers again without a care to the world.
“Good luck!” Dylan said as
she nervously held her hand.
