Sabay kaming pumasok ni Sky sa opisina niya at naaagaw namin ang atensyon ng mga empleyado. Sky's holding my waist while Kuya Rod, Cheska, and Athena is on our back. At may bodyguard ring nakapaligid sa amin simula pa kanina sa building ng condo ko. My thoughts didn't go wrong, may mga media nga na naka-abang sa labas ng condominium ko. They can dig deeper just to satisfy their craving for news from us.
"I'll escort you there," Sky told me while we're in the lobby.
"No need, I'll be fine. You can go to your office, I'll tell you when I'm done with my shoot.." I said. He face me and looked to me with disagreed look.
"No, I'll escort-"
"I said no, okay? I'll be fine. It's not like my first time." I rolled my eyes of his possessiveness. He's unreasonable, nandito lang naman kami sa kompanya niya kala mo naman tatakbuhan ko ulit siya.
He sighed.
"Okay, text or call me when you're done okay?" Malambing na sabi niya. I nodded and he kissed me before we parted ways.
I saw people how there jaw dropped of what they saw. Palihim nalang akong umirap at naglakad na papunta sa pagdadausan ng shoot ko. I'll model a black ferrari this time.
"Sorry, I'm late." I said as I entered the wide garage with so much luxury car. The manager of the cars smiled to me and give me a beso.
Pumasok ako sa dressing room at nagpalit ako ng two piece swimsuit. Babasain ako ng hose habang pumopose it's like I'm in the rain to have a good shoot in this luxury car. I don't know why they think like this. It's not bad though but... it's weird.
"Put your hand in the top of the Car Ms. Velasquez and smile!" Sigaw ng photographer and that's what I did.

After the photoshoot ay nagutom ako hindi kami nakapagdala ng pagkain kaya pupunta nalang muna akong starbucks. I'll just buy some coffee or whatsoever basta gusto kung kumain at nagutom ako. Nagpack-up muna kami dahil kakatapos lang namin sa shoot. I just drinked water and to avoid dehydration. It's hot in the philippines, unlike San Franscisco.
*riiing riiing*
I get my phone and answer who's calling.
"Hello?" I said with a deep tone. I cleared my throat. Inayos ni Athena ang buhok ko at nilagyan lang ng blush-on ni Cheska.
"Heey, Trix! How are you?" I hear Drake's voice in the other line.
"Yeah? What's up?" I said with a lazy tone. I'm hungry damn it! Ayoko namang istorbuhin pa si Sky sa opisina niya. He just texted me earlier that he had a meeting with the board of the directors
Sky:
If you're done, please go straight to my office. I'll just have a meeting with the board of directors but it'll be quick, don't worry. I love you! :)
Nasa 15th floor pa yung opisina niya, although may cafeteria dito but I'm craving for starbucks right now.
"We'll be leaving.." I just back to my senses when Drake speak.
"How's boracay?" Tanong ko. Isang araw lang ata silang nagstay dito sa Manila and they go to boracay after. Quick vacation lang daw dahil busy silang pareho sa ginagawa nila.
"It's fine though, We're enjoying by the way."
"Hmm.. that's fine," Sabi ko nalang. Tapos ng ayusin ni Athena yung buhok ko at nakaupo na sila ngayon sa left side ko. Nakipag-chikahan pa yung manager ko sa manager and camera man.
"Anyway, I just call to say that we can't go in Manila anymore. Direct flight na yung kinuha ko for the both of us. I just want to say goodbye, but we can visit Manila again soon anyway.." he said. I sighed, that's fine though. Naiinitindihan ko naman yun, Sky will get mad if they sees each other again.
"Okay then, I'll be busy here though. Take care of your flights! Send my greetings to Monica.. Have a safe flight back in San Franscisco," I said. I'll surely visit San Franscisco soon, that's been my hometown for the past 10 years now.
"You'll never be back in San Franscisco?" Sabi niya sa nanunuyong tono. I know what he meant by that.
I sighed.
"I don't know, maybe I'll just visit there?" Hindi siguradong sabi ko.
"Am I missing something?" Nagdududa na siya. I know he'll know but he deserve to know as my boybestfriend he's been with me.
"Desiree already meet his father.." I paused. "And nagkabalikan narin kami ni Sky," sabi ko sa kaniya.
"Is that it? Then, why are you so sad? Aren't you happy?" Bakit nga ba? Hindi.. masaya naman ako, masaya ako na nakasama ko ulit yung taong gusto ko. Yung taong gusto kung makasama panghabang-buhay, I am still inlove to the person who broke my heart years ago.
"I'm not sad, I'm just tired you know? Kakatapos lang ng shoot ko kaya ganun." I said. Nag-usap pa kami tungkol kay Sky bago siya nagpaalam.
This is their last day in boracay, mamayang hating gabi ay ang flight nila. They'll spend their time together after getting back to their work. Drake is just so lucky to have Monica as his girlfriend, she's caring, soft-spoken person, wife material, I think everything was given to her. Maybe, that's the reason why I didn't said yes to Drake's courtship. Aside from having a daughter I think he deserve a girl who can love him truly.

Palabas ako ng parking lot dahil pupunta ako ng starbucks. Nakapagpaalam na ako sa manager ko at sinabihan ko na sila na dumiritso nalang sa opisina ni Sky dahil dun nalang ako didiritso kapag tapos na akong bumili sa starbucks.
My manager insisted to buy me what I want in starbucks but I insisted. I said that I'll be back right after I buy what I want. My phone ring and I answered the call.
"Where are you?" A baritone voice filled my ear.
"I just want to buy a coffee or something in the starbucks, why?" I answered cooly. Tapos na ba ang meeting niya? Maybe, He call me already so that means he's done.
"Wait for me, I'll be there. I'll escort you," he said. I just sighed and closed my eyes, ang kulit talaga ng lalaking 'to.
"No need, just focus on your works-" hindi ko na natuloy ang sasabihin ko ng biglang may tumakip sa ilong ko.
And suddenly, Nahulog yung phone ko, I saw some men with their black mask. My heart beating so fast, I'm breathing slowly and sumisikip rin ang dibdib ko. Hinila nila ako papunta sa isang puting van, my eyes is blurry. What's happening? Am I kidnapped or something?
"Talian mo yan baka maka wala pa at malilintikan tayo ni Madame.." That's all I can hear.
And everything went black.
