"GoodMorning!" They... THEY?! Greeted me. Wait? Nandito sila... Anong meron?

Bumangon ako at may nakita akong tarpaulin. Na may picture ko.

"Margaux! Congrats! Nanalo ka. Nanalo ka! Ikaw yung napiling model para sa Red Line Magazine!" Ms. President said.

"Wooooo! Ikaw na. The best ka!" Sabi ni Kuya John.

"Congrats! We love you!" Liah smiled.

"Galing. Galing!" Arnold said.

Tama ba tong naririnig ko?! A-ako y-yung n-nalo sa contest?!

"A-ahh. Di ba to p-panaginip? H-hindi n-niyo b-ba kayo n-niloloko?" I asked.

"Muka ba kaming nanloloko? O come on! You won the contest. Let's celebrate!" Ms. President smiled. Oo sige. Dapat akong maging masaya dahil nanalo ako, nandito sila... Pero meron parin'g kulang e.

Si Paolo...

-----------------------------------------

"Byeeee!"

"Congrats!"

"Hoooo! Galing talaga! Byeeeee!" Sabi nung mga staffs at ni Ms. President.

"Galing mo talaga!" Liah said while holding my hands.

Kanina ko pa sila nakikita na wala sa wisyo. Hindi ako mapakali. Hindi naman to lokohan e no? Bakit kailangang si Paolo kagad ang gustong makita ng mata ko.?

"Hey there lovely lady." Paolo smiled. Woooo. Buti... Nakahinga na rin.

"Hi." I smiled back. I also saw him standing in front of me... Wearing a polo and a nerd glass? Also holding a bouquet and chocolates.

"Bouquet huh?" I asked while looking at the thingy one.

"Oh yes. For you." He smiled then give me the bouquet and the chocolates. Too many chocolates.

"Thank You." I said. Habang nakayuko siya. I kissed him on cheeks. Ewan ko kung natigilan siya o ano. Basta after nun. Hindi na siya makagalaw. XD

"N-no P-Problem. Y-youre welcome" he said.

Well I just looked at him and smiled. I also saw Liah and Lennie, looked at me like? (0o0) SHOCKED! AS'IN!

"C-congrats n-nga pala." He smiled.

"Thanks." I smiled back. I realized. He's cute with that eyeglasses.

"Pwede ko bang tanggalin yung eyeglasses mo?" I asked.

Then he nodded. Tinanggal ko yung salamin sa mata niya...  I promise! Ang gwapo niya. Sobra!

"You two look sweet and awesome.!" Liah exclaimed.

"I can smell something fishy." Lennie laughed.

"Hey. Its noth--" Liah cutted Paolo's word.

"Paolo. Asked her now." Liah said. Asked me what? Is there anything I should know?

"Oo wait." Paolo said. He inhales... And then exhales. He do it, over and over again.

"Margaux." Paolo said SERIOUSLY.

"Yep?"

"C-can I, can I court you?" He said. Oh god! Is this true?

Tinatanong na ako ni Paolo? Oh shet na sobrang lagket! Anong sasabehen ko??!.

"Ask my mom first? I think." I said. I looked at him and also told him that I will let him to court me. But before he get started. I need my mom.

Then I just looked at him and smile.

"Picturan mo kami Lennie!" I said.

Agad rin naman siyang kumuha ng cellphone. :/
