30 Days With You (RitKen Fanfiction)

37

DANI was nervous. Nakaharap siya ngayon sa laptop at kasalukuyang ina-upload ang latest vlog niya. Which was about Xavi and Grant. Her socmed accounts were bombarded with lots of messages. Most of them were understanding but some were really mean. It was like an opportunity for them to throw hate on her and judge her endlessly when they don't know anything about the them. When they were so clueless of the story behind.

It was so easy for people to judge nowadays, because they could hide on someone else's identity. They could easily make an account and say nasty things. Some would really go that far just to stain one's name.

She's trying her best to ignore them. Why would they even matter to her? But sometimes, it was suffocating and it gets in her head. It could somehow influence her emotion. No matter what she said and tell herself, it still affected her. 

"Stop reading those hate messages," Grant sat beside him.

She sighed. "I wanted to understand where they are all coming from. Pero ang hirap pala."

"You're only human, Dani. May hangganan ang pasensya mo. You can get angry. You have the right to because they're throwing hate on you when you did nothing wrong." He said and got her phone out of her hand. He started to scroll down her messages.

Kumunot ang noo nito at naging seryoso ang mukha. He would look pissed and angry. His eyes were getting darker than the usual.

"O baka ikaw naman ang mainis diyan ha." Biro niya rito.

He shook his head. "Should we file a case against them?" Seryosong tanong nito sa kanya matapos ibalik ang cellphone niya. 

"What?" Natatawang tanong niya. "No," ilang ulit na umiling pa siya. "Sabi mo nga, they know nothing at all. Hayaan mo na lang."

"Hayaan? They're calling you names. Liar. Opportunist. And a fucking mistress. How did you end up being a mistress when I am your husband? What are those people thinking? Don't they have common sense at all?" Sunud-sunod na tanong nito.

She just laughed at him. "Don't take this too seriously, okay? They're clearly haters. They would do everything to bring me down." 

"No," he said firmly. "I'm calling our family lawyer and I'll get them sued right away." He stood up.

"Hey," hinila niya ang braso nito. Nagpadala naman ito at muling naupo sa tabi niya. "Will you calm down? We have a presscon today. Just address that matter later. No need to act on impulse. Parang katulad na lang din tayo ng mga taong 'yan kung papatol pa tayo. Let them be. I don't live the way that they're saying." She smiled at him.

"Why are you so forgiving?" Kumunot ang noo nito. "They're already hurting your feelings. I can't tolerate them."

"It's fine. I'm okay as long as I have you and Xavi. My fame will be nothing if I don't have you two." Muli siyang ngumiti rito.

Grant stared at her for a while before he closed the space between them and kissed her lips in an almost feathery kisses. It was like he was teasing her so she would ask and crave for more. She pulled him closer so she could kiss him better but he moved away. Like he doesn't want her kisses.

"What?" Iritadong tanong niya rito.

"We shouldn't kiss. Baka hindi tayo makarating sa presscon." He said with a smirk and bit his lip. Tila inaakit pa siya.

Napailing na lang siya at hinayaan na ito. Grant will always be Grant. He will always try to seduce her.

CAN WE MEET?

Ilang minuto nang nakatitig si Dani sa mensaheng iyon. She didn't knew who the sender was. But only one person came to her mind: Cristina.
