Intimidate

"You're blushing, Amara. Don't tell me you have a crush with that actor?" Tita Amely pointed out while we were on our way home.

Bahagyang nanlaki ang mga mata ko at tiningnan ang sarili sa side mirror ng sasakyan. Wala naman akong napansing kakaiba sa mukha ko. Ang putla ko nga eh, kaya paano nasabi ni tita na namumula ako?

"Of course not, Tita. Kinabahan lang talaga ako kanina," sabi ko.

Hindi ko naman crush ang lalaking iyon. Yes, he's attractive but I'm not interested with him. Sa itsura pa lang niya, alam ko nang dapat ko talaga siyang iwasan.

Men like him will only bring distraction to me. And I don't want that.

Kagaya nang sinabi ko ay pinabasa ko kay dad ang kontrata pag-uwi. Medyo kinakabahan pa ako dahil anytime puwedeng magbago ang isip niya kaya nga sinama ko rito si Tita Amely para naman may kasama akong magpaliwanag.

Kapag ako lang kasi mag-isa, kaunting tanong pa lang ni dad ay halos hindi na ako makasagot.

"Bakit kailangan ng kontrata? I need the real answer, Amely?" dad asked while staring at Tita Amely.

Ngumisi si Tita na parang hindi man lang naaapektuhan sa awra ni Daddy. Samantalang ako, kinakabahan na naman. My Dad is a very loving father but strict at all times. Pareho sila ni kuya na overprotective.

"Ramsey, it's for the protection of Amarantha—

"The. Real. Answer. Amely." Dad cut her words.

Tita Amely rolled her eyes. "That's the truth. Wala na akong ibang dahilan. Ikaw lang ang nag-iisip nang ganiyan, Ramsey."

Daddy sighed then he returned the contract to me. Nakahinga ako nang maluwag dahil mukhang ayos naman sa kaniya. Tama talaga ang desisyon ko na isama si Tita dito.

"You better not let my daughter get harm," daddy warned Tita Amely.

I signed the contract already before he could change his mind. Ibinigay ko iyon kay Tita Amely dahil siya ang magbibigay nito kay Mr. Lacuesta. Sa weekend na ang unang photoshoot ko together with Jordan. Sana maging maayos ang lahat lalo na at first time ko.

I hate to admit it but I really feel intimidated whenever he's around. Gano'n naman siguro kapag first time mong may makatrabahong sikat, 'di ba?

Nang gabing iyon ay napagpasiyahan kong hanapin sa social media si Jordan.

I'm not stalking him, okay? I'm just curious about him. Gusto kong makita kung ganoon na ba talaga siya kasikat. 

I searched some information about him and because he is quite popular, it is easy for me to find something about him.

"Oh, so he's twenty-five years old? Almost five years ang tanda niya sa akin pero hindi naman halata," bulong ko sa sarili.

I visited his Instagram account and he has one-million followers already. His latest post was a few hours ago in the office of Mr. Lacuesta. Naalala kong nag-picture pala kaming apat nila Tita Amely kanina. I didn't expect that he will actually upload it.

The caption is 'New workmate? Looking forward to it'.

Does he really need to upload it? Dapat next time niya na lang in-upload kapag nag-start na kaming magtrabaho. Hindi naman halatang excited siya. Note the sarcasm, please.
