Hi!

Since long holiday naman, I decided to update this story together with Moving Into the Monster's House and my new story, Accidentally in Love. I would really appreciate it if you could go and support Accidentally in Love as well. It's my first try to post something here in Wattpad na walang kinalaman kina G at Dwight so medyo kinabakahan pa rin ako. I feel like bumalik ako sa square one because of that story. Huhuhaha.

Anyhow, if you have a chance, please read Accidentally in Love here: https://www.wattpad.com/548468910-accidentally-in-love

Thank you!

We decided to just use one car papunta sa beach. Since we wanted to make this a family bonding (with the addition of AJ), mas okay daw kung isang sasakyan na lang ang gagamitin namin. So the seating arrangement was mom and dad on the front seat then kuya, me and AJ on the middle. All of our bags were placed at the back seat.

Since medyo matagal pa rin naman ang biyahe, I decided to sleep na lang muna. I was about to rest my head on kuya's shoulder nung bigla akong hinatak ni AJ papalapit sa kanya. I looked at him and raise my eyebrow because of it.

"Problema mo?" Tanong ko sa kanya. Instead of answering my question, he leaned my head on his shoulder. So that's it then? Ayaw niya akong sumandal kay kuya? Oh my god. I didn't know he could be this territorial. 

Bago pa ako makapag-react sa ginawa niya, kuya was already laughing his ass out. I think it's also his first time to see AJ act this way. Ano ba kasing nakain nitong mokong na 'to at ganito bigla magkikilos?

"Dude, hindi ko naman aagawin si Kat sa'yo. Why did you have to go and do that?" Natatawang tanong ni kuya kay AJ. Umayos ako bigla ng upo at tinignan ko siya. He has his straight face on at hindi ko man lang malaman kung anong tumatakbo sa utak niya.

"I told you. Huwag ka nang hihithit ng tsinelas. Tignan mo tuloy. Kung ano ano na naman 'yang ginagawa mo." Panloloko ko sa kanya which made kuya laugh out loud again. It was as if we were ganging up against AJ.

"Tch. Kung ayaw mong sumandal sa akin, e di wag! Diyan ka na nga ulit sa kuya mo." AJ answered then he faced the window and he closed his eyes. Oh my god. Seryoso ba 'to? Nagalit ba talaga siya sa amin ni kuya?

Tinignan ko si kuya to ask him what on earth is happening to his bestfriend but just shrugged. He then told me na hayaan ko na lang daw si AJ. Masama man sa loob ko, sinunod ko yung sinabi ni kuya. Pinabayaan ko munang mag-cool down si AJ so in the end, kay kuya pa rin ako sumandal para matulog.

"Kat, gising na. We're here." Dahan dahan kong binukas yung mata ko upon hearing kuya's voice. True enough, dumating na nga kami sa resort. I looked at my surroundings at kami na lang pala ni kuya ang natira sa sasakyan. Nag-stretch muna ako saglit tapos bumaba na rin ako.

"Ilibre mo ako mamaya. Ang bigat ng ulo mo ah!" Panloloko sa akin ni kuya.

"Oo na. Ang babaw talaga ng kaligayahan mo kahit kailan." Sagot ko naman sa kanya. When I looked at AJ's direction, tahimik lang siya and with the way he acts, parang hindi man lang namin siya kasama.

"Kuya, what's up with AJ? Seryoso bang nagalit 'yan sa ating dalawa?" I can't help but ask kuya. Kasi naman e. Kababati pa nga lang namin tapos ganito na naman agad?

"Don't think of it too much. Ako na ang kakausap sa kanya mamaya." Kuya told me but I can't help but feel bad. Kasalanan ko rin naman kasi 'to e. If I didn't ask him what his problem was nung bigla niya akong hinatak palayo kay kuya, we wouldn't be like this now.

After waiting for daddy and mommy to check in, pumunta na kami sa villa na binook nila. There were three rooms so it was mommy and daddy in one room, kuya and AJ in another room while I got the last room to myself. Instead of fixing my things, I just dropped my bag on the floor and collapsed on the bed. Ang aga aga, na-stress na ako. Parang ayaw ko na tuloy lumabas pa ng kwarto ko.

Pinag-iisipan ko pa lang sana kung matutulog na lang ba muna ako ulit nung biglang may kumatok sa pinto ko.

"Pasok." I answered.

"Kat, are you seriously going to sleep again? Pumunta ba tayo dito sa beach para matulog ha?" Tanong sa akin ni kuya. Tinignan ko siya nang masama saka ako sumagot.

"Wala pa ako sa mood mag-swimming. Mauna na kayo kung gusto niyo." Halatang nainis si kuya sa sagot ko. Pero instead of getting mad at me, umiling na lang siya.

"Bahala ka nga sa buhay mo. Lock the door when we leave okay?" Sabi niya sa akin tapos ginulo niya yung buhok ko. Since wala na ako sa mood makipagkulitan pa sa kanya, hinayaan ko na lang siya. Afterwards, he left the room as well.

Papikit na sana ako nung naramdaman kong may tumabi sa akin. Thinking that it was kuya again, hindi ko na lang pinansin. But when I felt the person's arm around me, doon ko na-realize na hindi na pala si kuya 'to.

"AJ..." I softly whispered. Hindi ko alam kung bakit, pero biglang bumilis yung pagtibok ng puso ko. He was just hugging me right now pero ewan ko ba kung bakit ako biglang nagkakaganito. Was it because I was still feeling guilty dahil sa nangyari kanina?

"Sshh. Don't do that again okay? I just wanted to be by your side always. You didn't have to go that far." Umikot ako sa kama upon hearing what he had to say. Kaso leche. Wrong move pala! He was just wearing his board shorts right now. Shemay. How could things get this awkward for me?!

Bigla akong napaupo pagkakita ko kay AJ. Umiwas ako ng tingin sa kanya and I tried to calm myself down bago ako sumagot sa sinabi niya. When my heart was beating normally again, I told him, "Sorry na. Alam mo namang kababati pa lang namin ni kuya and you basically grew up with us. You know how clingy I could get with my twin. I've been with him longer than I ever lived in this earth. Sa tiyan pa lang ni mommy, kami na ang magkasama. You basically can't separate us apart."

"Alam ko naman 'yon. That's why I'm sorry too. I didn't know why I acted that way a while ago." AJ said then he hugged me again. Jusmiyo! What's with him and his hugs today? Masyado siyang clingy ah!

"Tch. Ewan ko sa'yo. Umalis ka na nga. Hinihintay ka na nila kuya." Sagot ko sa kanya tapos sinubukan kong umalis mula sa pagkakayakap niya. Kaso shet. Mas lalo lang niyang hinihigpitan yung pagkakayakap niya sa akin. Ano ba naman 'to? Paano na lang kung makita kami nila daddy ng ganito?

"Sama ka na lang sa amin. Please?"

"Ayaw. Inaantok pa talaga ako."

"Come on. Akala ko ba family bonding niyo 'to? Are you seriously going to lock yourself in here while your family's going to have fun outside? Daig ka pa ni Tita. Buntis na nga siya pero mageenjoy pa rin siya." AJ said, finally dropping na daig pa ako ni mommy card. I was actually expecting this from kuya but whatever. AJ knew too well na hindi ko kayang tiisin si mommy. And so with that, I push him out of my room and told him that I will go get changed.

After changing into my two-piece swimsuit, I wore a crop spaghetti strap top and short shorts as well. God knows kung anong pagwawala ang gagawin ni kuya kung hindi ako magsusuot ng pampatong sa swimsuit ko. And well, since AJ is here rin, for sure they would be overprotective nang todo. Naglagay na rin ako ng sunblock sa katawan at mukha ko then I grabbed my shades from my bag. Paglabas ko ng kwarto, they were all waiting for me.

"Finally! Akala ko, lulubog na yung araw bago ka lumabas. Let's go!" Sabi ni kuya. Napailing na lang ako sa sinabi niya tapos naglakad na rin ako palabas ng villa. But before I got the chance to really go out, AJ held my hand and whispered, "Matulog ka na lang kaya ulit? Baka pagtinginan ka lang sa labas e."

"Baliw!" Sagot ko sa kanya tapos sumunod na ako kay kuya.

True to what AJ said, pinagtitinginan kami ng mga tao pagdating namin sa beachfront. I don't know if it was because of kuya and AJ or dahil ba may kasama kaming buntis but the attention that we were getting was kind of uncomfortable. Napansin din siguro 'yon ni kuya kaya lumapit agad siya sa akin and he did funny faces in front of me. He knew that I hated having too much attention kaya dinadivert na lang niya yung focus ko sa mukha niyang pangit.

Nung hindi ko na talaga kayang magpigil, I started laughing like a crazy person. Kuya smiled widely because of that. His mission was accomplished and it felt like we were in our own little bubble.

While the three of us where goofing around the seashore, a couple of girls tried to get the attention of kuya and AJ. Being the ever loyal guys that he were, hindi nila pinansin ang lahat ng 'yon. Well, dapat lang naman talaga since hello. I'm basically there and I'm AJ's girlfriend for crying out loud. Nung napagod na yung mga babae na magpapansin sa kanila, we decided to sit down muna.

"Kuya, gusto ko ng mango shake." I blurted out of the blue.

"E di bumili ka." Sagot niya naman sa akin. Sumimangot ako dahil doon. Akala ko pa naman, susunod sa akin si kuya. Since I know that he couldn't stand the sight of me being all cute and all, I did that very same thing. Nagpa-cute ako sa kanya nang todo.

"Kuyaaaaa, sige na naman pleeeeeease?" 

"Leche. Oo na, oo na. Bibili na. Tigilan mo na nga 'yang pagpapa-cute mo!" Sigaw ni kuya sa akin tapos naglakad na siya papunta sa bilihan ng shake. I was laughing out loud dahil doon. Effective pa rin pala talaga yung tactic na 'to kahit kailan.

While AJ and I were waiting for kuya to return, a group of guys suddenly walked towards us. They were trying to get our attention and when I finally looked up at them, they were smiling at me. Wait. What? Why were they smiling at me?

"Uhh, excuse me. Kanina ka pa kasi namin napapansin and we can't help but approach you. Can we ask for your name? I'm Dylan by the way." The guy with the floral board shorts asked. I simply looked at him, wondering why would they even notice someone like me. Before I could even answer him, AJ wrapped his arm around my shoulder and said, "She's mine. Now back off, will you?"

Uh-oh. Someone is about to punch a group of guys here because he's jealous. Heeeeelp!
