Chapter 14

When I got home, I went straight to my bed and grabbed my laptop to browse the internet. I'm planning to take a vacation since I'm tired of everything. I planned on taking a vacation in Palawan since I love that place. I was about to call my friends to tell them about my plan but I realized that it's better if I'll go there alone since I plan to relax and forget about what happened.

When I saw a perfect hotel, I first called my parents to let them know about my plans since I don't want them to be shocked whenever I'll spend tons of money. Another thing, it's a nice thing to do so that they'll trust me in everything that I do.

When I got their go signal, I immediately packed my things and prepare everything that I'll be needing. My flight's tomorrow and I decided to be there for 2 weeks since I don't have anything to do here at my house. Good thing, my parents supported me with this kind of solo vacation. It's not actually my intention to go here alone and enjoy myself but based on what happened, I just felt the need to be here and breathe.

After I prepared almost everything, I went to our kitchen to cook my meal. I decided to let our maids rest for a while since it's pretty tiring if they keep on moving especially with their age. I cooked chicken pesto because that's what I'm craving. After I finished cooking, I sat down at my high chair in the dining to eat. While eating, I was just browsing on my phone to check my social media accounts and to check if I want something online.

After I ate, I went back to my room to take a rest but, instead of laying down in my bed, I just seat on my couch to let my food digest for a bit. After I felt like I'm not that full, I went straight to my bed then I turned off my lamp and lay down peacefully. After a few minutes, I just found myself sleeping in my bed.

The next day, I woke up early because I still have to prepare lots of things for my departure. I haven't packed my bikini's yet since I still don't know if I'll bring all of it or not. Later on, I decided to just pack my favorite bikini's and then after that, I now prepared myself. I took a bath and wore my white sleeveless crop top, black shorts, and a purple windbreaker partnered with my purple high sneakers. I also put light make u on my face to make my face a little bit fresh. I also curled the end of my hair so that it would give a beach vibe. After I finished doing all of that, I ate and then left the house.

It was a pleasant flight going to Palawan. When I got to my hotel, I went straight to my room to rest. I also decided not to roam around today since I still have lots of time to do it. I also called the receptionist to tell her that I would just order my food for dinner because I'm too lazy to go down.

Dinner time came and I'm just eating some baby back ribs, rice, and orange juice. I was craving for this one ever since the plane landed here in Palawan. I didn't order some dessert because I'm not in the mood for sweet, besides, I'm still kind of on a diet.

After I ate, I called for someone to clean my room and to also wash the plates that I've used. It's all part of my accommodation so I have nothing to worry about that. After they cleaned my room, I decided to change my clothes to a beach dress and then I added my shawl because I'm planning to go to the beach and it's cold there.

When I arrived at the beach, it was pretty cold and relaxing, I felt comfortable by just watching the waves. I stayed there for how many minutes but when I felt cold because of the air, I went back to my hotel room to rest and sleep because I have plans for tomorrow.

I woke up early again the next day because I decided to go island hopping, I will only go to the basic islands here in Palawan like the usual ones. I'll visit three islands for today.

Busuanga, Linapacan, and Balabac are the names of the island that I would be visiting today. The staff told me that it's hot there so I just wore a pair of white bikini and a cover-up. Actually, I'm kind of "experienced" when it comes to hot places so it didn't really matter to me if that place is as hot as fire.

When I got on the boat, it was very noisy, I didn't complain anymore and I just wore my bitch face because I have nothing to do with it anymore since I don't own the boat. We first went to Busuanga, It's currently 8 in the morning so it's still not that hot yet. We also stayed there for a few hours.

Anyways, it's just okay here in Busuanga, the water is clear and beautiful. Because we spent a few hours here, I just swam until I got tired. When I got tired I went straight to the boat to stare at the view. I noticed that the guy who drove the boat was looking at me so I just smiled at him.

When our time for the first island was over, we immediately went to the second one which is the Linapacan. For me, they all have the same beauty but of course, they do have some differences. For instance, the color of the water here is darker compared to Busuanga, I feel like I'll get tan skin here when I swim so I didn't soak too much, maybe I only spent half of my time swimming and half of my time taking pictures.

I don't have anyone with me right now so I just tried it taking pictures myself. I just used the hacks that I learned by watching videos about how to take pictures even if I'm being alone. I don't know but I was interested in such videos in the past, well, maybe because they all have some kind of purpose too and of course, I used them too. Time has passed and we are now on the third island which is the Balabac where we will have lunch. We stayed here for 4 hours and this is where we stayed the longest.

I just ate quietly and then went swimming and took pictures again. I just repeat everything until the time was up. When it was time for us to return to the hotel, I was just quiet and I was just looking around. It was also good that we were able to go back here now because it's currently 4 in the afternoon and so we still have time to prepare to watch the sunset.

We arrived at the hotel at almost 5:30 in the afternoon so I quickly went upstairs and then took a shower and got dressed. I was still in a hurry because I really wanted to watch the sunset. When my preparation was over, I went downstairs to get ready. Then, when I came down, I laid a cloth on the sand to make myself comfortable while watching the sunset. I also prepared my camera so that it will be easy for me to take pictures later. I was just waiting for the sunset but I saw someone on the other side, a man familiar to me, I can not go wrong with him, his body built, it's very familiar.

He's here... he is also here in Palawan

Is he also here to think about everything that happened? I don't know his reason but I must admit, I am not happy now, I just don't know why we keep on bumping with each other. I mean, not in a literal way but... Is it really necessary for us to cross paths over and over again?

A good thing, I stopped staring at him because he suddenly turned around and I was not mistaken, from my peripheral vision I could see... Bryce.

Yes, Bryce is also here.
