Chapter 43: The Photograph

Victoria Abbel's Point of View

"What should I call you?" I asked Trevor while I'm scrolling through my device. Looking for a perfect endearment. Of course! I don't want to call him by his given name.

Trevor lifted his gaze and met mine. His eyes were filled with confusion. Even though he looked so confused right now, whenever he is looking at me, it seems like he was not just looking at my physical attributes, he was looking directly at my soul. He made me feel like I am the most beautiful woman that he has ever seen. Okay, maybe I'm just a little bit exaggerating. Pero di ko babawiin 'yang sinabi ko.

Besides Trevor is a bit different now. Hmm, how should I put this? He looked rather free. He's no longer putting a wall between us. Just like what he had been doing for the past years. Nailagay ko na lang tuloy ang dalawang kamay ko sa aking jawline at itinukod ang aking siko sa hinihigaan. Admiring his looks while he's comfortable sitting on the single sofa. Ako naman ay nakadapa sa L-type sofa at pinagmamasdan siya sa kanyang ginagawa.

He's actually in my flat. Dalawang linggo na ang nakalipas mula nang pumunta kami sa beach kasama ang kanyang mga kaibigan at aking mga pinsan. It was so hard to pretend at the beach that Trevor and I were just complete strangers. Pero buti na lang mukhang wala naman nakapansin sa mga kasamahan namin. I used to been so vocal with my feelings towards Trevor. But I've decided to make things private for now.

Ayaw din namin pagkaguluhan sa labas. Kaya naman napagpasyahan namin na dito na lang siya magstay sa tuwing mayroon itong free time. Trevor agreed to spend his time in my place and I am more than willing to let him stay.

One advantage of having your own place is that you can take your boyfriend in and do something wicked and fun. Natawa na lang tuloy ako sa sarili kong isipan. At dahil doon, kumunot naman ang noo niya habang tinitingnan ako.

"What?" He asked while frowning. I diverted my gaze at him and I can't still process that there was a famous rockstar sitting comfortably on the sofa while writing something on his device. Maybe a song lyrics or whatever. They are making their new song again for their comeback. A new album with eleven tracks on it.

"I mean, ano bang itatawag ko sa'yo? Baby? Love? Honey pie? Baby boo? Boo bear? Hmm, what else... amore mio?" I asked. Amore mio is an Italian word and when translated into English it means my love. I saw how his lips lifted when he heard me mention amore mio. Does he like it? I mean my cousins have their endearment, bakit kami wala? He called me Victoria or Tori and I only call him Trevor.

"Honey pie? Is that even a thing?" Natatawang sambit niya. His eyes glimmer when he laughs, showing his perfectly aligned teeth. I envy his teeth, I used to have braces when I was a kid. And it was really uncomfortable.

"It is!" Napailing na lang ito dahil bigla na lang tumaas ang boses ko. My shouting voice is my normal voice and my cousins are annoyed by it but it doesn't matter. Bickering in the family made everything fun.

"Hmm," napahawak ako sa aking pisnge at tumingin sa taas na akala mo ay nagiisip.

"Or should I call you... daddy?" I said using my sultry voice, while looking at him intimately. Pinipigilan ko ang sarili kong huwag matawa sa naging reaksiyon ni Trevor. Para itong mukhang mahuhulog sa sofa. Dali-dali niyang binaba ang device na hawak niya sa katapat na table at hinugot ang kanyang wallet mula sa bulsa ng kanyang pantalon.

It's now my turn to frown.

"Here." He said and put his wallet down as well as some credit cards.

"Here's my wallet. There is cash in it or if you prefer credit cards. Get anything you want." He said using his serious voice. I looked at him trying to figure out if he was joking or if he was really serious. I just love his eyes not leaving mine when we're conversing. I feel like no one ever looked at me like this for so long.
