PANAY ang titig ni Hunter sa akin habang kumakain kami. Kanina pa kasi ako di nagsasalita. I'm just pissed! I am looking so desperate. I'm not asking for sex. Just you know... A little care and attention from him. I never imagined I'd have a hard time opening that up to my boyfriend. Is it selfish? Am I being too fast? Too forceful if I bring it up?
"Are you okey?" Tanong niya nang di na makatiis.
I tried to smile. "Yeah. I'm just hungry."
Kumuha siya ng isa pang piece ng fried chicken at nilagay iyun sa plato ko. "Eat as much as you want. Kung kulang, magpapaluto ulit tayo."
Nagpatuloy lang ako sa kinakain. Marahang umurong si Hunter palapit sa akin. Halos di siya kumakain at pinapanuod lang ako. Tss.
"I can't wait to see you in that dress. We'll look great together." Aniyang tila kinikilig.
Right. Muntik ko na makalimutan na may pupuntahan pa nga pala kaming party tonight. To be honest, nawala na ang excitement ko. I think nagamit na yun lahat kanina nung makita ko yung painting sa kwarto niya. Kinikilig pa rin ako tuwing naiisip yun. I can't believe he actually did that. Anyway, speaking of, I should look at my instagram. My friends probably reacted to it already.
Kinuha ko ang phone ko sa bulsa at mabilis na nagtungo sa instagram. My eyes widened when I saw the number of notifications I got. I looked at my profile and holy shit!! My followers doubled!!! I got 10k before I posted our picture together and now I have 20k+ and it's still increasing!! Ilang minuto lang ang nakakalipas and may 17k likes na yung post ko. A lot of people I don't even fucking know flooded it with comments! They're probably Hunter's followers. May 20 million followers lang naman siya sa instagram. Nakakahiya sa iilang followers ko lang, diba?
Thankfully, Instagram highlights comments from people I follow so kita ko pa rin ang comments ng mga kaibigan ko.
"Okey. I'm jealous. He's actually romantic." Basa kong comment ni Joey.
"Did he paint that himself? That is indeed extra! Ngayon parang gusto ko na ring maghanap ng sarili kong jowa." Anah namang si Tiffany.
"@Ashton why haven't you done anything like this for me yet? Mahal mo ba talaga ako?" Natawa ako sa comment ni Rina.
"Holy shit, Lana! You're so lucky <3.<3" commen naman ni Shantal. She added two more comments but I didn't read it. I'm sure she's asking me about the interview.
"I'm so happy for you guys. Unang araw pa lang, alam kong may spark na sa pagitan niyo. I saw how you look at each other when we were fitting for suits and gowns. I know I wasn't wrong." Anah namang si Torre.
Pinakita ko kay Hunter kung anong nangyayari dahil panay ang silip niya sa phone ko. Curious na curious. "My instagram just blew up because of you."
He chuckled. "Good. Now everyone knows we're together."
Yumakap ako sa braso niya. "My friend keep asking me to get an interview with you. Tsk. She's really really persistent. Malamang di niya ako titigilan."
Kumunot ang noo niya. "Friend? Sino sa kanila?"
"Shantal. You know, the one who got married to Phillip Warren. The car racer?"
"Oh." Tumangu-tango siya. "Is she a journalist?"
I nodded. "And she's famous too. Narinig mo naman siguro yung tungkol kay Hope Reinhart, right? That ridiculously touching story that blew up a couple years ago? Phillip's ex?"
Nag-isip siya. "I'm not sure. I'm not really updated to celebrity gossip. Who is she?"
"Are you serious? You don't know her? Yung nagmakaawa kay Phillip na balikan siya sa isang tv interview? Yung inakala ng lahat na naging pornstar?? You don't know her?"
