Ms. Artista (Book 2)

Forty Three

"Who are you?"

Fuck. That's not a good joke.

"Y-You're kidding me." I whispered nervously, "I'm Francine Perez." I looked at him.

"Francine Perez?" his eyebrows furrowed again.

"Y-Yes." I answered, "Your girlfriend."

Damn you, Zion. Stop kidding me! This is not fucking funny!

"My girlfriend?" he asked, "I have a girlfriend?" he asked confusingly.

Oh, God. Please, help me!

"Y-Yes!" I quickly answered, "I am your girlfriend. We broke up 3 years ago, I thought you cheated that's why I Ieft you, but now, I'm back! And, I'm also working with yo—"

Napatigil ako sa pag-sasalita nang makita ko siyang naka-ngiti.

"W-Why are you smiling?" I asked as my eyebrows quickly furrowed.

He softly giggled, "I missed your voice, girlfriend." he smiled.

No fucking wa—

"Argh! I hate you!" I immediately hit his arm. "I knew it! You're just pranking me!"

"Ouch! Francine—stop!" hinawakan niya agad ang mga kamay ko.

"I-I hate you!" I said while crying. I can't stop it anymore. Akala ko talaga nakalimutan niya ako, damn it.

"Hey." he quickly held my cheeks, "Why are you crying?" he asked while wiping my tears.

I sobbed, "I missed you." I pouted my lips, "You scare me, Zion. You really did." I uttered while crying.

He softly chuckled. "Come here." he opened his arms. Agad naman akong yumakap sa kanya.

Damn. This feeling. I've really missed him, gosh.

"I'm sorry, I scare you." he whispered while kissing my hair, "I'm fine now."

I rolled my eyes, "You should be." I answered.

"I really missed you, Zion. God, I missed you so much." I said sincerely while hugging him.

I felt that he smiled, "I missed you too, my love." he said while caressing my hair.

Umalis ako sa yakap niya, "I should call the doctor." I said while looking at him.

"No." he groaned, "Let me hug you for awhile. I need strength." he said before hugging me again.

I just smiled bago siya yakapin pabalik. Although, it's really hard for me since naka-higa pa din siya, but yeah, whatever, we really missed each other. We need this hug.

"I love you." he whispered while kissing my hair.

I smiled. This is it, Francine. Say it. Say it.

"I love you too, Zion." I uttered while smiling.

I was waiting for his reaction but then when seconds passed at wala pa din siyang sagot, umalis na ako sa yakap at tumingin sa kanya.

"What?" I laughed when I saw his reaction.

His eyes are widened. Parang gulat na gulat siya.

"Y-You said what?" he asked surprisingly.

Wow, he's surprised.

I smiled and held his cheeks, "I love you too, Zion. I love you." I said sincerely while looking at him.

His eyes sparkled, he's smiling, he's... emotional.
