Shelter In You (MASVEDO SERIES #2)

Kabanata 41

"Go Bella!"

I remained my fierce expression as I started to walk in the Run Way. Loud voices and cameras welcomed me but my fierce look still remained. When I reach the end of the Run Way I smirk before turning around.

"So hot!" Other models said at the back stage.

Napairap nalang ako sa ka natawa ng mahina sabay kuha sa phone ko. It's been a month already since I went here in New York for my job and I haven't seen Dave. He didn't visit me, I understand because he's busy but damn! I miss him so much.

I really wanted to fly back to the Philippines just to kiss and hug him. I wanna see him so bad.

"Let's go!" Napasimangot ako kay Chad pero inismiran niya lang ako.

Baby...

My whole month was really busy but I still find a time to communicate with Dave. But I am missing him every second of the day. I miss his warmt just like now.

"Baby" he sweetly said on the other line.

"Hmmm?" Mahinang sabi ko sabay yakap sa unan ng mahigpit.

"Shit I miss you so damn much." I smile sadly.

Me too. I miss him so much. 

I have been so busy facing rumors about me and to clarify it. Tumanggap ako ng projects kahit marami para hindi ko masyadong mamiss si Dave.
Chad gave me a lot of big projects and somehow I am enjoying it.

"Bella" inis kong binalingan si Drew.

"Don't go near me!"

Natatawa naman siyang lumayo saka nagtaas ng kamay. I don't wanna be his rumored girlfriend again. I had enough, I can't deal with his toxic fans.

"Chill" inirapan ko lang siya.

I know Dave is busy on his own business in the Philippines so I am trying everything not to be clingy. Ayoko ko kasing magkumahog siyang pumunta sa akin. I am fine with this se up. Saka nakapagdecide na rin naman akong mag quit sa modeling soon.

I am watching Plue eating his dogfood with my long face. Miss na miss ko na talaga si Dave. Damn. I am being a baby again. Si Plue lang ang kasama ko dito at iilang maids at drivers. Hindi pa kasi nakakabalik sila Mommy, nasa Pilipinas parin sila, with Henz.

Pagkatapos kumain ni Plue kaagad siyang pumunta sa lap ko saka sumiksik doon. Napangiti nalang ako ng bahagya sabay haplos sa balahibo niya. This dog never left me.

Tamad kong kinuha ang phone ko saka tiningnan kung may text ba si Dave pero wala.

I sighed and put it down again. I just miss him so damn much. I miss him super.

"Bella are still working out?" Napatango ako kay Chad ng tamad kaya pumalakpak siya.

"Very good, stay in your shape Bella." I nodded and focus on the artist who's putting my make up.

"Chad.."

"Hmmmm?"

I breathed hard first before I ask something.

"What if I'll quit?" Bigla siyang nahulog sa inuupuan niya kaya napakagat labi ako.

"What?!" Napapikit ako dahil sa lakas ng pagkakasabi niya.

No one noticed that I'm already engaged. Akala nila palamuti lang ang singsing ko. Wala rin akong pinagsabihan. Even my Mom doesn't know, ako lang saka si Dave. Well, maybe his Dad because he saw the heirloom ring.

"Not now Bella!" I sighed and chuckle a bit.

"Just asking..."

Stress siyang lumabas ng dressing room ko habang bumubulong-bulong.
