Anw, I decided to use different POVs for Torn in Two. I think that would make the story more interesting. Enjoy!

CHAPTER 5 - MISSED

Damian's POV

I couldn't help but smile as I stare at the ceiling of my hotel room.

Yesterday was insane. Who would have thought that by going here in Paris, I would meet a wonderful woman who will sweep me off my feet? Honestly, this isn't the first time I became intimate with a girl I just met. I've done that a couple of times before. But being with Irene, it's different. She's different.

I don't know if she noticed it but I keep on staring at her whenever she's not looking at me.

Her eyes are full of wonder. Tila wala pa siyang kaalam-alam sa mundo. I know she's smart, she says a lot of interesting things but it amazes me how innocent she could be at the same time. Siguro ay dahil sa pagiging mahigpit ng magulang niya kaya limitado pa lang ang nalalaman niya sa buhay.

I sat and ran a hand through my hair. It's just seven in the morning and we're supposed to meet at nine. Gusto ko sanang agahan upang makita ko na uli siya kaagad pero ayoko namang isipin niyang masyado akong clingy.

Something may have happened between us last night but that doesn't mean she's my girlfriend already. Gusto ko pa rin ligawan siya at pagbutihing kunin ang matamis niyang 'oo'. I'm really into her, hindi ko ikakaila 'yon. She's my type and I don't think I'll be able to forget her anytime soon.

I grabbed my phone from the side table but immediately frowned when I realized that I forgot to ask for Irene's number.

"Sh*t," I whispered to myself. I bit my lower lip and decided it's no use to feel worried. Magkikita pa rin naman kami sa lobby mamaya.

Tumayo na ako at pumasok sa bathroom. I took a nice shower and picked the nicest clothes I could find on my luggage. This is our official date, gusto kong maging perfect ang araw na ito.

Habang nagpapabango ay nag-ring ang phone ko. Lumapit ako doon at sinagot kaagad ang tawag.

"Oh Dash?" Anong oras ba doon at ganito siya kaaga nanggugulo? Oh right. It's just afternoon in there. Nakalimutan niya yata na magkaiba kami ng time zone ngayon.

"Bro, will you be able to go home for my game tomorrow?" Natawa ako sa tanong niya. He speaks as if Philippines is just around the corner.

"What game?" Wala akong naaalalang naikwento niya.

"It's the start of the Summer Olympics! Have you forgotten? You're the star player two years ago, now it's my turn. Come on, you've got to be there."

Nagisip ako nang mabuti.

Dashiell and I are close. Kahit na mas bata siya sa akin ng isang taon ay lumaki pa rin kaming parang kambal, ganoon kasi kami tinrato ng mga magulang namin. Kung anong meron ako ay meron din siya. We go to the same school and do the same things. Halos lahat ng likes at dislikes namin magpakareho.

I guess the only difference we have is that I'm more straightforward and aggressive than him. Unlike Dash na mas malumanay sa akin. Hindi siya madaling magalit at para sa kanya ay maaayos ang lahat sa magandang usapan.
