If Hearts Will Tell (Heart Series #2)

25

[I am just trying to protect you! Hindi ka nakikinig, Alisson!] Trina is scolding me again. [Your picture with that guy is spreading all over the internet!]

I sighed. "He's my friend, okay? Nagkita lang kami ni Drake sa grocery accidentally. I'm with Janna and umalis siya to get something!" I defended myself because it's true naman.

I didn't know that someone is taking a photo of us! That's why I'm all over the News and internet! There's a photo of me and Drake on the grocery store na kumakalat and people already think that he's my boyfriend! Hindi naman kita ang mukha ni Drake sa photo dahil nakatalikod siya habang ako ay kita.

There's so many comments about it! People are starting to get curious about me and Drake!

Alisson Lim has a non-showbiz boyfriend?!

Alisson Lim, spotted with his non-showbiz boyfriend at a grocery strore!

The famous model, one of the most after-sought model, Alisson Lim, is rumored to have a non-showbiz boyfriend.

My head is hurting because of the News and articles! What the hell is that? Sanay na ako pero si Drake!? I don't know! I'm already used sa mga rumors pero si Drake, I know, he's not and nakakahiya sa kanya! My goodness!

[I told you to be careful! We need to cover up that rumor again.]

Pinagalitan niya pa ako bago ibaba ang tawag. God! People, goodness! Why is it so easy for them to assume something?! My God! I immediately message Drake to apologize. Buti na lang talaga hindi kita yung face niya sa picture!

Me: hey, Drake, maybe you already saw the articles. I'm deeply sorry. I'm sorry for involving you here. Don't worry, I'll deny it, they won't bother you.

I put down my phone and lay on my bed. Sumasakit ang ulo ko. Nakakahiya kasi kay Drake. Tumunog naman ang phone ko, I think it's Drake kaya tiningnan ko agad. Tama ako, nag-reply nga si Drake.

Drake: It's fine, Alisson. No worries. :)

Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag. I replied 'Thank you' and 'goodnight'. I already eat my dinner so nakahiga na lang ako sa bed ko at nagsscroll sa social media. I read a lot of their comments, they are curious about Drake! Why are they so curious about someone's private life?

Who's the guy?

He's familiar! I think artista yan.

Nakita ko sila kanina, namukaan ko yung lalaki. Doctor 'yon sa isa sa pinaka-malaking ospital ng bansa.

Oh my God! Shit. I'm doomed. Tinigilan ko na ang pagbabasa dahil sasakit lang ang ulo ko don. I decided to sleep na lang. This rumor should be done quickly. Dapat matanggal ang atensyon ng mga tao doon.

The next day, I didn't go out dahil mamaya pa naman. Inaya ko na rin kasi yung friends ko yesterday. Kristen and Yohan is coming, of course. And my other friends too. I'm really excited to be with them tonight. Sa BGC daw kami magkikita kita.

"Kristen, sobrang nakakahiya kay Drake! Nadamay pa siya!" Pagkekwento ko pa kay Kristen.

[Sus! Muntik na nga kayo ikasal, e] sagot naman ni Kristen.
