Chasing Stars (Chasing #2) - Completed

CS 28

Wrrien's POV

"What's with the message last night?" I asked. We are currently going to Manila for the movie photoshoot. Sa kanya na ako pinasabay ni mama since gusto pa daw niya mag-stay sa farm kahit hanggang mamayang hapon.

Alam kong nanadya lang talaga siya. Yun pa.

Sa bahay pa nga pinag-umagahan ni mama si Tope para daw makapag-usap sila at ginawa talaga nila yun ng literal.

Hindi ako nakasali sa usapan nila at nagmukang ako yung bisita at sila yung mag-ina. Kanina ko lang naranasan sa buong buhay ko na ma-OP ako dahil sa sariling nanay ko.

But I find it cute how my mama and him interact with each other. It look's like they know each other for a very long time. And I'm happy.

Magkasundo sila.

"Gusto kong tumatak ako sa utak mo. Love?" he even emphasize the word "love". Napatingin na lang ako sa bintana ng sasakyan ko para ngumiti ng palihim.

This guy have really something that I can't explain.

And there's a feeling inside me that I can't tell.

Those butteflies are getting wilder in my stomach.

"You already did Tope. Napakaaga pa para dun." pag-iiba ko na lang ng usapan.

"I know pero masanay ka na kasi aaraw-arawin ko yun.cHindi ako mapapagod Love.." he replied while driving towards to the star toll way.cWe are using a shortcut and I suggested that para hindi siya mapagod sa shoot mamaya.

And that word "love?"

Maraming meaning pero iba ang dating akin.

"What about the media?" I asked out of curiosity.

"I don't care about them. Gusto ko namang ipagmalaki ka kahit ngayon lang. Gusto kong ipagsigawan sa kanila na ikaw lang." then he held my hand.

"Are we shooting like a drama here? Tope naman, maaga pa nga." pagbibiro ko ulit. He quickly pinched my nose then he chuckled.

Kung ganito ba naman pala kasaya mag-road trip ng may kasama? Edi sana matagal ko ng ginawa.

"Hindi kasi ako nagbibiro. I'm telling a fact. Ayoko lang mailang ka sa media dahil sa kung anong meron sa'tin. This is the first time I make this kasi ayoko nang maging dating Kristoff na nagtatago lang sa kanyang anino at nagpapa-kontrol sa kung kanino." Seryosong sagot niya. And it makes me fluttered.

How a guy can tell me those words?

He's giving me an assurance indirectly.

And that was a technique I'm wanted to for a long time. And he got no clue that he actually did it.

"And you know what Rei? Nagkaroon na ako ng rason para bumangon ng masaya sa umaga. Cause' you're already here." He added. Mahigpit kong hinawakan ang mga kamay niya at nginitian siya. Ewan ko ba kung bakit automatic na yung panga ko na mag-form na sarili niya at mag-smile everytime I saw him. Everytime I talked to him.

"Parang Nescafe lang? Para kanino ka bumabangon sa umaga?" pagbibiro ko pa.

Napuno ng tawanan ang buong byahe at walang atubiling dumeretso kami sa company for the photoshoot.

"Rei."

Parang nag-slowmo ang paligid at para bang sinasabayan kami ng hangin. We are like inside of a wattpad story.

When I looked back, I saw him fixing his simple white shirt. He's brushing his hair backwards with a smile from his face.

"Tara?" he said.
