Bab 7: New People
I woke up and the room was very cold. I was already covered in blankets and Bram was no longer beside me. The ambient lighting of the room made the place look homey. I sat up and wrapped myself in a blanket. I saw my dress neatly folded on the foot of the bed.
I heard water running from the bathroom. Bram was probably taking a shower. I got my sling bag that was tied to my luggage and checked my phone. There were messages from my mom and my brother. I was about to open one of them when Bram went out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel. I glanced at him for a moment then went back to the messages on my phone.
"If you need to take a shower, you need to do it now. Our dinner will be ready at seven in the evening," Bram said, then he went to his travel bag on the right side of the bed.
I turned off my phone then placed it back in my sling bag. I opened my luggage and got my toiletries and my change of clothes. I was walking towards the bathroom when Bram spoke.
"Are you going to take the blanket inside the bathroom?" he asked as he put on his underwear. He was smirking at me.
I rolled my eyes at him and continued towards the bathroom. I closed the bathroom door and locked it. I took a bath quickly and stared at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a light yellow trapeze dress. Its mid-thigh length made me look taller. I was wrapping my hair in a towel when Bram yelled from outside the door.
"Are you done yet? I need to brush my teeth," I heard him say. I could see his shadow from the capiz covered door.
I opened the door for him, then I got my own toothbrush too. I was putting on toothpaste when I saw him watching me through the mirror.
"What?" I asked him. I opened the faucet and gargled some water and spit, then started brushing my teeth.
He did not say anything and he took my toothpaste and did the same thing that I did. Our eyes met and he gave me this mocking stare that he loved doing. I glared at him and continued brushing my teeth. I finished brushing my teeth, picked up my toiletries and left him in the bathroom. I went to my luggage and arranged my things. Then I returned to the bathroom to find a hair dryer.
"What are you doing?" Bram asked.
"I'm looking for a hairdryer," I answered him.
"They don't have any," he yelled from outside.
I removed the towel from my hair, then hung it on the towel rack, then went out. I got my comb and slowly combed my wet hair. I felt like I was being watched, so I turned to Bram. And he was staring at me with a grin on his lips.
"What?" I asked him.
"Tomorrow we will go back to Manila. My friend will meet us at the airport," Bram said as he closed the zipper of his bag.
"Okay," I answered and continued brushing my long black hair.
"Are you done? We need to go now. We'll be late for dinner," Bram said as he walked towards me.
I got my compact face powder and quickly applied it on my face. Then I put on some lipstick, then closed my sling bag.
"Let's go," I told Bram as I stood up and placed my sling bag on my shoulder.
Bram and I woke up the following day. We were both startled by the sound of his blaring alarm. Then eventually, my alarm kicked in after a few seconds. We were both naked under the covers because he made love to me last night. For now, I would consider it love-making instead of sex for the sake of my mental health.
Bram turned off his alarm and placed his phone on the nightstand. Then he went to the bathroom. I turned off my alarm too and opened my luggage to find some traveling clothes.
I was deciding if I would wear my high-waist denim jeans and sublimation shirt or a dress? I was startled when I heard the bathroom door open.
"We need to shower together to save time," he told me when I turned to him. His hair and body were wet already and he left the shower running.
I returned my eyes to my clothes and told him, "I'll be there in a sec. I'm just preparing my clothes."
I heard the door creaking and turned in Bram's direction again. He opened the door wide and was walking towards me. I looked up at him as he bent down on me and carried me into his arms.
"Bram!" I exclaimed as I dropped the shirt that I was holding.
He ignored me and just carried me inside the bathroom. He kicked the door closed and took me under the shower. The room was already full of steam because of the warm water. I had no choice but to wash my hair first and turn the valves to change the temperature of the water. But Bram cupped my breast from the back. I gasped in surprise.
Then he bent his head to kiss the left side of my neck while he kneaded both of my breasts. I rested my neck on his shoulder and moaned in pleasure. Instinctively, my left hand massaged his head on my neck. Then Bram got my right hand and brought it to his manhood. He guided my hand on what I should do.
When I did what he wanted, he moaned in pleasure and then he made me face him. He bent and kissed me on the lips as he touched mine as well. Both of us were chasing our breath under the spray of water. Then he carried me and placed my back on the empty side of the wall. I wrapped my legs around his waist and gasped when he entered me.
"You feel so good, baby," Bram whispered in my ear as he started coming in and out of me.
I held on to his shoulders as he increased his pace. Bram pulled my hair slightly and he made me face him. Our eyes met and I saw his eyes close as he let go and released inside me. Then he claimed my lips and slowly decreased his pace. We washed each other's bodies afterwards and he waited for me as I wrapped myself in a towel. Then we went out of the bathroom.
I decided on the high-waist fitted denim and tucked in my sublimation shirt. I wore my gold flip flops sandals again, then went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Bram went out to check out and call the bellhop for assistance with our luggage. After I brushed my teeth, I quickly put on day make-up and tied my hair into a ponytail. I collected my toiletries and went out of the bathroom.
I closed my luggage and placed it beside Bram's travel bag and placed my sling bag on my shoulders. I sat on the bed as I put out my sunglasses. I stood up when the door opened. Bram went inside wearing his sports eyewear. He was wearing jeans that fitted his lean legs and a white polo shirt.
I put on my sunglasses as well and stared at the bellhop as he placed our stuff in the resort cart. The bellhop went out first and then I followed him. I glanced at Bram as he held the door for me. Sometimes I get confused with what he was showing me. I was getting mixed signals from him.
He was sweet, sometimes naughty, sometimes gentleman-like, but he never said that he loved me. That would be too far-fetched because this was an arranged marriage. So, when Bram took my left hand while we followed the bellhop, I was a bit surprised. I looked up at him and he was smiling down on me. I smiled back and we continued walking towards the exit of the hotel.
Airport
After an approximately one and a half hour ferry ride, we rode a taxi to reach the airport. There were several tourists in the airport and I just followed Bram wherever he went. He was carrying his travel sports bag and pulling my small luggage. We were both trailing behind a uniformed guy in white.
When we reached the chartered plane, Bram hugged a good looking guy who was also wearing sunglasses. He was the best definition of tall, dark and handsome. He was the same height as Bram. Then Bram put his left arm on my shoulder and introduced me to the guy.
"Baby, this is Connor," Bram told me and guided me so I could face his friend.
"Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Emma," I told Connor as I shook his hands.
"Very glad to meet you," Connor said as he squeezed my hand.
