"Caitlyn, gising na!" naramdaman ko ang hampas sa akin ng unan ng isa sa mga kaibigan ko. Pagkatingin ko sa orasan nakita ko na 3:30 pm na. Agad naman akong bumangon sa kama at inayos ang aking buhok. Bigla tuloy nagprocess sa utak ko lahat ng ginawa ko kanina sa bus.

Tanga mo Caitlyn Nicole bakit mo sinandalan yung balikat niya kanina! Sa sobrang antok ko bigla ko na lang sinandalan si Zayn! What the fuck Caitlyn. That's a stranger and he might take advantage of you! You're lucky enough na nandoon mga kaibigan mo.

Pero tarantado din sila eh, they even took photos of us. Si Zayn naman he was a little bit awkward sa photos na kinuhanan nila. Well I couldn't blame him, bobo lang talaga ako.

"'Wag mo na alalahanin yung nangyari kanina, it's not like you're gonna see him again." Luca told me and I just ignored him before picking up my luggage and took my high waisted shorts, yellow off shoulder.

Nagpalit lang ako ng damit at inilagay ang buhok ko in a messy bun. I also put on light make up before going outside. "Fresh mo naman, are you expecting him to be outside?" Yuki teased and I denied. "No! Hindi naman kami magkakilala ni Zayn ah? Nakatulog rin ako sa bus kaya di ko siya nakausap!"

Bigla naman silang tumawa, "May binanggit ba akong Zayn?" tanong ni Yuki which made me turn into a tomato. That was embarrassing! "Ang taray, si Zayn na agad ang unang inisip. Type mo 'no?" tanong ni Azaleah at nagkibit balikat ako.

He's tall, has great hair, and smells great. He's already good on the outside but I don't know him yet. Malay mo mamamatay tao pala si kuya, edi ggs na.

"Ay lumalim ang isip, kilala kita Caitlyn. Inisip mo na agad pros and cons nung lalaki ano!" Yuzu accused and I just got my wallet and put it in my bag, refusing to give her a reaction.

"Tara na, we're still going to Baluarte right?" I told them and they all agreed. Sa akin nila binigay ang key card ng hotel namin kasi irresponsible minsan sila. Pero mahal ko naman sila kaya goods.

2 days kami dito sa Vigan and the remaining 2 days pupunta naman kaming Pagudpud. We know that the beach there is very breathtaking so that's why we want to go there.

Pagkalabas namin ng hotel I was looking for the car keys of the car that we rented for 2 days while walking kaya hindi ako nakatingin sa dinadaanan ko. Nagulat na lang ako nang may mabunggo ako at nang magtama ang tingin namin natulala na naman ako. It was Zayn!

"What are you doing here?" nagtatakang tanong ko and he turned to me and help me pick up some things that fell from my bag.

"Uhm, this is my hotel? Hindi lang naman ikaw ang pwedeng magstay at a 5 star hotel ah?" he told me casually pero nainis ako sa tono niya. Tunog mayabang! It's already a turn off for me.

Paalis na sana siya dahil tumalikod na siya. "Yabang mo," mahinang bulong ko pero narinig niya ata kaya bumalik ulit ang atensyon niya sa akin.

I saw how he scoffed and grinned at me, "excuse me girl from the bus that slept on my shoulders..." paninimula niya and I raised a brow at him. "Anong sabi mo?" I asked and his grin grew wider.

"Bakit? Natulog ka sa balikat ko ng halos dalawang oras, nangalay nga ako pero nagreklamo ba ako? I let you sleep stupid." he told me and I was about to slap him when he talked. "If you slap me, you owe me a kiss next time we see each other." banta niya kaya natameme ako. Napalingon ako saglit sa mga kaibigan ko at nakita kong lahat sila nakangiti at tila nanonood ng nakakakilig na movie.

"B-bakit mo ako hahalikan? I'll file a case of sexual harassment!" Sigaw ko and he just lick his lower lip. "You're talking to a law student Caitlyn. You don't have evidence, and I'm sure that your 4 witness would stand by my side considering they're watching us like we're on a drama show." he told me and napairap na lang ako. Wala na akong masabi eh! Englishero din, ang hirap makipagsagutan. Baka mamaya dumugo na lang bigla yung ilong ko.

When we went silent he walked closer to me and fixed my hair, "Don't go out calling people mayabang Caitlyn. Hindi mo ako kilala, wala kang karapatan na sabihan ako ng ganun." sambit niya sa akin and I laughed sarcastically.

"Hindi naman kita kailangan kilalanin." he just turned his back, "See you when I see you." at tuluyan na siyang nawala sa paningin ko.

Bigla naman lumapit sa akin si Azaleah at nagsi-talon talon. Parang gago ah! "Putangina Caitlyn para kayong magjowa kung magaway ah! BAGAY KAYO!" she exclaimed and I didn't cared about it.

The guy is a total asshole, napaka confident niya and he speaks clearly. Perks of being a law student? Ilang taon kaya siya? Single ba? WAIT, hindi ko na kailangan alamin 'yon!

"Hindi ba tayo pwede magpalit ng hotel? Ayaw ko doon." I told them and they just pulled me to the car. Luca drove that's why Azaleah took shotgun. After 7 minutes we arrived at Baluarte Zoo. We took package B where it was 250 per head to have a full ride around the zoo.

We took photos here and there until we get to the souvenir area, I bought a ref magnet to add to my collection at my condo. After that we decided to eat a resto where they serve local food in Ilocos.

I took selfies of me drinking wine and of course took pictures of the two couples. Minsan nauumay ako sa kanila pero wala eh, mga kaibigan ko sila and I have to deal with them.

We drove back to Vigan City and parked the car. We wanted to walk and take pictures around the pavements. We are currently at Cale Crisologo and we stopped at the middle of the road to take amazing pictures. Ako ang unang kinuhanan ng litrato and I did poses until inayawan ko na. Then I took pictures of them. We also took a trio photo kasi OG kami and of course a group picture.

All the photos were Instagramable I love it!

Then nag-aya magkalesa sila Azaleah pero by two's lang siya kaya I decided not to ride one na lang. Wala rin naman kasi akong kasama eh. "Are you sure Caitlyn?" tanong ni Yuzu and I just nodded. "I'm not a kid, I can manage."

"Okay, just text us where you end up okay. We'll be fast!" sabi ni Azaleah at tumango na lang ako. The horse started moving at nawala na sila sa sight ko. I was left standing there observing our pictures not until someone tapped my shoulder.

Pagkalingon ko it was Zayn again! Bakit lagi ko naman 'tong nakikita? I don't need to see an asshole the whole trip. Nakakabadtrip lang, he kills the mood.

I raised a brow and natawa naman siya sa akin. "Where are your friends? Bakit ka magisa?" tanong niya at di ko naman siya pinansin at umaktong may pinagkakaabalahan sa cellphone.

"Hey," he forced me to look at him. "I'm sorry if I offended you someway earlier." nag sorry siya? Hindi ako naniniwala na isang gagong katulad niya ay magsosorry sa akin. But he looks sincere naman kaya pinatawad ko even though hindi siya considered bilang isang kasalanan.

"Nagkalesa mga kaibigan ko, dalawa lang pwede per kalesa so I decided not to ride one." I told him and he looked at me before pulling me on the hand. Nagpahila naman ako, I can't believe I'm letting a stranger pull me. But some part of me feels comfortable with his presence.

"Kuya magkano po kalesa?" tanong niya at sinagot naman siya. 150 lang and it was cheap.

Zayn helped me get up doon and then sumunod siya. Our skins are faintly touching and there's a weird feeling when it touches. Naamoy ko ulit ang pabango niya, nakakalunod pero bakit parang gusto kong magpalunod sa kanya?

NO! Pull yourself together Caitlyn Nicole, hindi mo pa siya gaanong kakilala.

Mahangin, and I was taking photos when I felt his hand near my neck. Inayos niya buhok ko at kinuha cellphone ko. He took photos of me and I looked shock at the first few photos not until he said, "smile Caitlyn. You're the prettiest when you smile."

Doon ko naranasan ang butterflies na kanilang sinasabi. And let me tell you, it was a nice feeling. We also took a few selfies before we just enjoyed the ride.

Binaba kami ng kalesa sa Cale Crisologo ulit and they took a picture of the both of us. It was weird for me to spend time with Zayn. I don't even know his full name and yet we're so close to each other right now.

Narinig ko namang magring ang cellphone ko, it was Yuzu. "Hello?"

"Beh asan ka na? Kala ko ba doon ulit magkikita?" tanong niya sa akin and I thought of lying but I can't do that. "I rode with Zayn. Details to follow, let's meet up sa hotel na lang." sabi ko at inend ko na agad ang tawag bago ko pa marinig ang tili nila.

"Sabay na tayo pumunta sa hotel? Or may pupuntahan ka pa?" tanong niya sa akin at umiling ako. Tahimik kaming naglakad hanggang maka-abot sa hotel. Nasa third floor yung amin while his was on the second floor kaya hinatid ko na siya.

Nang nasa tapat na kami ng hotel room niya I was debating if I should tell something or simply just say good bye?

"Uhm, thank you for riding a kalesa with me." I thanked him and he smiled at me. That smile, it makes me want to look at him always.

"Thank you for your time." then he winked at me.
