(Hey guys! So here's the thing, I'm very very sorry for not being able to post lately. I was so busy because some things came up and you know, regular student life. It's hard. I apologize for those of you waiting for the Chapter 7 to be posted. So here you go! :D )
Kuya never answered me why. So binalewala ko nalang. Tamang tama na nag text si Axel.
From: Axel
Date tonight? :)
To: Axel
Game!
He picked me up by 8 tapos pumunta kami sa BEthel. "Steph? Hindi ka ba napagod?" "Hindi naman, ah. Bakit?" sagot ko. "Kasi kanina ka pang tumatakbo sa isip ko." Wew. Pick up line na naman? "Axel? Semento ka ba?" "Bakit?" "Ka SEMENTO be tayo." Ay shete! Haha! Axel ordered a cheese burger and I also ordered the same.
"Steph? Can I ask you a question?" sabi niya. "What is it?" "I want to know more about your brother's business." I told him that I never really knew what happens because I'm at school all day. "But what I know is, the Studio earns a lot of money daily." "Okay. Thanks." He stood up. "Just a minute. I have to go to the bathroom."
I waited for about 10 minutes until he came back. "Axel? I have to go home." "Okay. Ihahatid na kita." After that very weird incident, let's fast forward to five more dates later. I started to smell something fishy. Every time we go out, Axel keeps on asking me about our business. Hmmm. Anong trip nito?
Pag uwi ko sa bahay, Kuya was already shouting. Stressed ata. "What happened, Kuya?" He was looking so messed up. Yung hair niya, yung damit, very messy. "The Studio is losing money! Steph, ano na ang gagawin ko?" Nag-isip ako. "Kuya, alam ko na ang reason." Sinabihan ko siya sa past dates with Axel. "Stephanie! I told you no to go on any more dates with him. He's the son of our enemy company, the Torres." Na realize ko na. Huli ka, palaka!
Axel texted me
From: Axel
I'm breaking up.
Tapos sa galit ko, nag reply ako ng all caps para intense.
To: Axel
THERE WAS NEVER AN US! I know what you did Axel. So just shut up.
I delete his messages from my phone. His number. Our pictures together. His friend request: blocked. Somehow, I think that if I delete him enough, I will forget all about him.
The next day, nag stay at home lang ako at nagpatugto ng "Lips Are Moving" ni Meghan Trainor
I gave you bass
You gave me sweet talk
Saying how I'm your number one
Tapos kinakanta ko yung isang part
But I know you lie
Cuz your lips are movin
Baby don't you know I'm done
Pagkatapos ng song, nagpatugtog na naman ako ng "Shake It Off" ni Taylor Swift
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake
Shake it off, shake it off.
After the song, kumain ako. Nang biglang nag buzz ang aking phone.
Unknown number calling...
Hello?
No response. I turned it off. Weird. Anyway, I didn't know what else to do so natulog na lang ako.
BRO
When I went to school today, hindi ko makita si Stephanie. Sa'n ba kaya siya? She's all I think about. She's so busy head-over-heels for someone who doesn't even care about her. She doesn't realize that there's someone silently protecting her. Hayy. Buhay. Nagpatugtog ako ng "Kung Ako Nalang Sana"
Kung ako nalang sana ang iyong minahal
Di ka na muling mag-iisa
Kung ako nalang sana ang iyong minahal
Di ka na muling luluha pa.
Di ka na mangangailangan pang humanap nig iba.
Narito ang puso ko.
Naghintay lamang sayo.
Wag ka ngang mag emote dyan, Brent.
STEAL
To: Honey Boo
Good night, sleep tight! Love ya! :*
After I texted her good night, natulog na din ako. The next day, I met up with Blaine to plan about our engagement party. We didn't mention this to our siblings yet but we will. Soon. Our party will happen in 2 months from now. "Hi, Boo!" I gave her a kiss and her coffee. "I'm so excited for our party, Boo! There will be lots of food, lots of guests and a photo booth. The main attraction must be the photo booth." We talked about what will happen. After a while, I kissed her goodbye. "See you soon, Boo!"
BLAINE
After we kissed, pumunta ako sa Cake Shop at tumingin ng designs. Medyo excited lang ampeg. I know, Haha. Pag uwi ko, I was about to tell Brent. Pero, maybe some other time nalang. Malayo pa kaya ang party. Why rush? Anyway, kumain ako g dinner. ng biglang nag text si Steal.
From: Honey Boo
I think we should tell them tomorrow, Boo.
BRO
"Brent? Do you have time?" sabi ni Ate. "Yes, Ate. What is it?" sagot ko. "Well, I just wanted to say that I'm engaged to Stephen Alex Santiago." Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. Ano sabi niya? Stephen Alex Santiago? Santiago. Bakit ang kuya pa ni Stephanie?
SIS
"Steph?" sabi ni Kuya. "Yes, Kuya?" "There's something I need to tell you. I'm engaged." "Well, conratulations! Who's the lucky girl? Is it Ate Blaine?" "Yes." "What's her full name Kuya?" Nag breathe in siya. "Her name is," tapos nag exhale. "Blaire Ianne Ortega." Anger started to swell up inside me. Ortega? Ortega. Ortega. Sino ba yung Ortega na kinalalagutan ko? Tapos hindi ko matitimpi, sumigaw ako
"Bakit ang ate pa ni Brent?!"
(Chapter 8 should be posted tomorrow or Friday. I'm sorry if I can't post fast enough. But again, thank you guys for reading! More power to you all! :3 )

BRO, YAM!
RomansStephanie Isabelle Santiago was a very down to earth kind of girl. It all changed when she meets the handsome Brent Rhyle Ortega. BRO, YAM. What a wonderful phrase. Will she still be the same girl from before? Or will she change when BRO comes in he...
