I'd Rather (AshMatt)

ASAP part 1

Sarah and James' relationship grew better..
Sarah can feel James earning a spot in her heart but she has yet to let herself take the risk.. she has been hurt before, she's smarter now..

Yung akbay, holding hands, kiss sa cheeks, sleeping on each other's lap etc.. lahat yun normal nalang sa kanila dahil narin sa months nilang nagshoot sa ibang bansa and promo tour in other countries. James would tell Sarah everyday how he felt about her.. He never failed to say "I love you wifey".. wifey.. yan na ang nakasanayan nilang tawagan.. because of their characters... and Sarah has gotten used to calling him hubby.. mas madalas Hub lng.. and all sarah would say in reply is "thank you" or a smile, or sometimes a hug..

After 8 months of being away from the Philippines, Sarah is still scared to say i love you too.. hindi niya alam kung bakit, kung takot lng ba or hindi siya sigurado.. basta ang alam lng niya napapasaya siya ni James for the past 8 months. He helped heal the pain.. heal, but forget the pain or better yet the person? hindi pa siya sure..

The other day she read tweets and an online article.. Matteo was spotted in a chill bar with his friends.. Jessy was spotted on the same bar.. may picture pa na cozy sila. Sarah wasn't sure what she felt. parang ok lng siya pero it brings back memories.. pero hindi na masakit.. ang gulo.. thinking about it is driving her crazy.

******************
It has been exactly 8 months since she left and today after secretly arriving back in the Philippines she will appear on ASAP for her usual hosting stint, solo prod and thanksgiving for Right Here Waiting with the rest of the cast. She didn't know what to expect. Kakatapos lng 2 weeks ago ng RHW ipalabas and it ended with their wedding.. ngayon lng niya mahaharap ang fans ng serye sa Pinas.

Meanwhile..

Matteo was getting ready for ASAP, it was his birthday celebration at dahil natapat ito sa showbiz anniversary niya double celebration ang hinanda for him which means nandun ang family niya, friends and forza teammates and they will be on the stage with him the whole time para sa kung ano man ang niprepare ng ASAP. as for him he knew he was going to sing 1 song lang.

It was only yesterday night that Matt received a call..

Billy: Bro do you know?
Matt: Know what? ASAP ka ba tom?
Billy: Yeah bro pero hindi yun.. Sarah's back, she has ASAP tom..
Matt: wait... what??
Billy: they didn't tell you? Baka they didn't think it was going to be an issue?
Matt: it's not.. kaya lng is she ok with it, that i'm there? Kinakabahan ako na hindi ko maintindihan bro..
Billy: i'm not sure she knows but aren't you happy, you're finally going to see her again.. baka magkachance ka na itama ang lahat..
Matteo: i hope so..

Sarah: Po mr. M? andun si matt and family niya?
Mr. M: yes sarah, late na namin narealize nagcoincide eh.. is that ok?
Sarah: (sarah thought about it and realized it was) Oo naman po wala naman pong problema.
Mr. M: good, everyone's excited to see you.

Iba na ang set-up ng ASAP, this is what Sarah discovered. Artists no longer stay on the backstage, lahat sila nasa stage surrounding the area kung san may performance, at least para sa mga performance na wala masyado props.. parang audience din sila around the stage, enjoying the show kaya nakakapagparticipate lahat sa live na nangyayari..

For Sarah, this meant while performing andun lng si Matt and his family and friends..

Luis: Sarah!! namiss kita!
Sarah: Luis!! grabe ako din.. iba na dito ngayon ha.. may paganyan ganyan ng audience
Luis: oo mas masaya nga eh, ayaw mo? may ayaw makasama sa stage?
Sarah: ay grabe siya, wala ha! namiss ko kaya lahat kayo..
Luis: aahhh talga? lahat kami? lahat ng nasa stage? naku nakakakilig naman!
Sarah: hoy luis! may ibang meaning ka nanaman diyan.. kayong friends ko ang namiss ko!
Luis: bakit friend mo din naman yun eh.. ex-boyFRIEND hahaha

Hinampas hampas ni Sarah si Luis..
Luis: kararating mo lng nananakit ka na..
Sarah: kararating ko lng kasi nangiinis ka na!
Luis: joke lng naman di ka mabiro.. sige na magsstart na eh intro ka pa namin nila Piolo..

********
Matt and his family and friends were on the left side of the stage if you're facing the audience kasama nila billy and r&b singers pati narin ibang cast ng RHW.. sa right naman sila kim, maja, jessy, gerald, rayver and iba pang dancers and singers pati narin sila James, cacai, alex, kean, marco and ketchup.

Piolo: Hello mga Kapamilya. Nagustuhan niyo ba yung opening ng mga ASAP Kapamilya kanina?
(crowd cheers)
Luis: pansin ko lng pink na pink ang paligid ha.. as in at sobrang daming tap ngayon kaya dito tayo sa bigger studio ngayon eh.. ang daming naka-pink..
(crowd keeps yelling)
Toni: sino ba hinihintay niyo?
crowd: SARAH! SARAH! SARAH! (dala pa nila yung lightsticks na gamit nila sa concert ni sarah dati)
Piolo: wow!! grabe ang crowd.. Popsters, Ashlloyds, AshMatts, Ashrald and AshJaye
(sobrang lakas ng tilian nung tawagin ang AshJaye dahil narin sa dami ng fans ng RHW)

** Mommy Glenna: Matt Sarah's here na talaga?
Matt: yes ma..
Paolo: kuya! ate sarah's here? wow i miss her!
Their group exchanged looks..
Ivan: you ok bro? ready?
Matt: yeah.. sh*t ivan my hands are cold and my heart is beating so fast!

across the stage..
Marco: hey man san ka nakatingin
James: look at Matteo bro, bakit ang uneasy niya?
Marco: pinapanuod mo?
James: i just wanna know his reaction.. bakit parang kabado siya? diba wala naman na sila.. he was the one who ended it right?
Marco: oo.. baka kasi first time makita
James: hindi eh, parang naeexcite siya na ewan..
Marco: badtrip ka na niyan?
James: yes.. he shouldn't be looking at wifey that way anymore. He hurt her..
Marco: uneasy lng ang dami mo ng hugot? hintayin mo muna kaya lumabas si sarah..

****
Luis: grabe nakakabingi. bago pa mabasag eardrums ko ito na yung sobrang namiss nating lahat
Toni: yung boses, sayaw pati narin ang bungisngis niya hahaha
Piolo: ladies and gentlemen the one and only popstar royalty.. SARAH GERONIMO.!!!

a short stairs was on the back and on top Sarah appeared to a earth shattering crowd screaming her name and waving their lights. parang Araneta level while the intro to her previous concert started.. KILOMETRO..

at dahil mala-Araneta Sarah couldn't help but scream ASAP!!!!
the crowd cheered even louder, and Sarah being Sarah but this time in an all white spaghetti strap, leather jacket and shorts combo (dahil braver and fiercer na) sang and danced to the delight of her fans! She felt overwhelmed by the welcome, she didn't notice 2 pairs of eyes were on her. Both of love..and one of longing.
