All I Want (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER X

After the dinner with my family, I intend to sleep early because my flight tomorrow would be early also.
Early in the morning, my family wanted to drive me to the airport. I wore simple outfit consists of a boyfriend tee, two-toned cargo pants and sneakers then tied my hair in a high ponytail.

“Ingat ka doon anak, ha?”

“Yes, mommy.”

I gave them a hug and cheek kiss before I was called for my flight.
I am with my co-models.

“Keesha!” I greeted my friend who is seated beside me.

“I miss you so much, Isla! I haven’t seen you since like forever. Busy ka kasi sa love life mo.” Nagtatampo niyang sabi.

“You’re also busy kaya.” We both laugh at my statement.

I tried calling my boyfriend before we take off but he doesn’t pick up. I was thinking he was in a rehearsal or something.

Our flight took like eternity. It was exhausting to sit on the plane for hours. But I enjoyed it though, Keesha and I had watch our favorite Netflix movie.

The pilot announced our landing and I wore a sunglass. We might be expecting reporters and numbers of paparazzi.

“Ready?”

“Uh-huh.”

We step out of the plane and as expected, flashes from cameras, welcomed us.

I thought everyone is getting some reporters but I was shock when the whole crowd immediately went closer to me, pointing their microphones.

“Miss Isla, any comments about the recent dating rumor?”

“Miss Isla, what can you say about Kade?”

“Miss Isla, are you okay right now?”

“Miss Isla, what is your reaction about Kade Doyle and Coleen Heart in Washington, D.C?”

“What is your statement that Kade was seen cozying up with actress, Coleen Heart?”

The last question got me frozen, literally. I just stood there, unmoving. If Keesha hadn’t pulled me away with the help of the bodyguards, I would still be there, shocked.

“Are you okay?”

Umiling ako. “I don’t know, Keesh. I don’t know.”

Everyone had question how I feel when we were on the bus provided by the company. They had known about the issue since it had taken the internet by storm.

Keesha and I are roommates. When we entered our room, I just broke down. Face down, I cried on the bed. I was shouting, trying to ease the pain that my inside was feeling.
It felt like my heart broke down.

“Why?!”
Keesha hugged me so tight.

“What was that photo, Keesh? Let me see it please.”

“No, Isla. I won’t let you.” she resisted.

“Please, please. Let me see it in my own eyes.” I pleaded.

She ended up giving up after multiple times of me pleading to her. I just wanted concrete evidence. In this industry we are in, issues and rumors are already like tagged to every personality. I need any concrete evidence to believe those things.

Keesha scrolled something on her phone and showed me a photo of Kade and Coleen in a hotel restaurant, kissing. Lips to lips.

“Kade wouldn’t do this to me. Maybe this is edited. He will call or text me later to ease my worries. I know Kade would.”

She sighed and just hug me there. Comforting me.

A lot of questions are running through my head. I don’t know what to do or to say.

For the whole night, I was waiting for Kade’s name to pop on my phone but to my disappointment, none came.
The next few days were hard for me as the issue is still on fire. I couldn’t walk the streets of Paris like my other co-models as reporters and paparazzi’s would come and bombed me with questions.

Keesha wanted to stay here with me but I forced her to have fun exploring Paris. I don’t want to ruin her fun. I was just in our room, in the bed, watching the news about the issue, slowly unfolding.

‘Singer Kade Doyle has release a new music in his YouTube channel during his tour. Fans speculating that the song is for supermodel, Isla de Catalina. The whole song tells about apologizing to the other half of his love affair. The lyrics ‘I’m sorry that I fell in love tonight’ might be indicating that he has fallen out of love to the supermodel and fell in love with the actress. The song also implies how the persona fell in love with the new lover. Could this be the story of the hottest love triangle right now? The press also wanted to have statements from the supermodel but she wasn’t spotted with the co-models for the Paris Fashion Show. Even her close friend Keesha Martinez is silent about the issue. This is Gracia Heinz, your showbiz chick reporting!’

I rummaged through my phone and listen to his latest song. It was just a lyric video.

I’m sorry that I fell in love tonight.
I’m sorry if I cut you out of line.
I’m sorry for the pain I bring
But still, I’m sorry that I fell in love tonight.

Before the next verse hit, I stopped the music and throw it to the wall just right after Keesha entered the room.

“What happened?”

I stared at her and cried. My chest is constricting. My heart shattered into millions of pieces and I couldn’t utter any word but just sobbed until I am okay.

But it seems like the world has a different plan for me. I was there, crying for the whole night and got puffy eyes the next day.

“Fix yourself, Isla. Huwag mo munang isipin ang jerk na ‘yon. Focus!”

Fourteen days went okay. I am focus on my goals. I have pick up my broken pieces and taped them temporarily.

Today is the show day. We woke up early to get started.

We are about 44 models and there are 70 people for our make-up, hairstyle and nail care.

A few minutes before the show, his name pop on my phone. Shaking, I open it.

‘Let’s break up   - Kade’
I was teary-eyed but I told myself.

“I will not cry. It’ll ruin my make up!”

I dab a handkerchief on my eyes slowly to remove the few tears that formed.

I had a retouch then I conquered the runway.

Sorry Kade but I won’t let you ruin my temporary glued pieces.
