Destrás de Las Cámara: Mi Vida Desordenada

6

After the "welcoming" party, they all left. Except for Laura and Aziel. Rae, Chlis, and Karla had to go to their own place, while kuya went running for errands, kalalabas lang niya actually. Laura's staying here and not at Karla's because we have something to discuss, and I don't know why Aziel is staying but he'll probably leave a little later. 

"Hey, Shy?" Aziel approached me, I just closed the door because kuya just left seconds ago. "Yeah, why? Want something to drink?" I questioned him, I don't know why but I'm a little nervous. "Can we talk?" he glanced at my cousin na sunod sunod ang inom ng alak, "In private?" dagdag niya. Napaisip naman ako sandali, "Sure, where do you wanna talk?" I grabbed my phone sa center table in the living room, "I was hoping we can talk outside? There's a park around here, right?" I nodded naman, "Shall we?" I gestured towards the door, "We shall," he smiled and walked towards the door and opened it for me. Butterflies. "Laur, we'll just go outside for a bit," paalam ko sa pinsan ko, she just shoo-ed us with a hand gesture. Napairap na lang ako, "Let's go, let her be," sabi ko kay Az, he just chuchkled at napangiti naman ako.

"What are you guys up to now?" he asked, "What do you mean?" we walked towards the elevator. Before he could even utter a word, "Shoot, lift's out of order," I mumbled. "Looks like we have to use the stairs," he clapped and chuckled. Naglakad naman kami papunta sa dulo ng hallway, nandun ang pinto para sa emergency stairs eh.

"Back to the topic, your group Beauvémeux, what are you guys up to? Any events?" napa O naman ang bibig ko, "We were supposed to do a performance two days after our interview with you on your show, but unfortunately, I got hospitalized so it got postponed. Its weird though," I told him. "What's weird?" "That I fainted," I chuckled, "What did the doctor say?" 

"The girls told me that the doctor said it was because I was overworked, exhausted, depleted and that's really, really weird because I wasn't even doing much, even if we don't have any events scheduled," 'di siya sumagot agad, like he was thinking of what to say, "That's really weird, maybe you did something that made you weary," he answered after a few seconds. "I swear I didn't," I chuckled, "Because if we have nothing to do, I'm just laying around, either eating or watching," I admit I'm kind of an introvert but hey, I was born like that, what can I do? But I can be a bit outgoing if I'm comfortable with the people I'm with. "Oh, we're already outside," he blurted out. Ngayon ko lang din napansin. Nasa fourth floor lang kasi yung condo namin. "So what you wanna talk about?" I opened the topic, the reason why we're here walking outside in the middle of the night. Its past 12 midnight now.

"You know, I was actually looking forward at interviewing you guys, Beauvémeux, because of...you," he answered, I smiled secretly, "Why me?" we're still walking. Where the fuck is that park? "I don't even know, I just like you I guess?" 'Di naman ako nakasagot agad, "I get that you won't say anything, that's fine," nakonsensiya naman ako, "No, no. I went speechless...for a bit. What do like about me then?" I challenged. "I really like your quirky, silly side. That playful smile that shows up when you're having fun with Reasse or either of the girls. Your cheeks that always fill up when you're eating, I've always wanted to squish it," he chuckled. Napangiti naman ako sa sinabi niya, but it feels familiar. I'm trying to remember how it comes off as familiar to me, but nothing comes up. Stupid, slow brain. Ugh.

"That's really sweet, Az," I smiled at him. Napansin ko namang nakarating na kami sa park, "Let's sit over there," he gestured towards the bench that's near the lamppost. Pagkaupo naman namin, he turned to me, "Shyrvielle, I know many guys asks you out, and I don't wanna be one of the guys who bothers you everyday, but you're irresistible. I really, genuinely like you, your eyes that sparkles when you see food, how you dance excitedly when you like your food," he paused and chuckled, I can tell that he's nervous because his voice is shaky and he can't look at me straight into my eyes. "But I'm taking my chance here since we're alone, and I know you don't like publicity that much," ugh butterflies, "Shyrvielle, can I take you out on a date? I haven't thought of a date yet, but can I?" he asked sincerely, and this time, he's looking at me. Into my eyes. Wala ng patumpik tumpik pa, ngayon lang may nagconfess at may nag-aya sa'kin ng date na may ganiyang details, "Yes, of course. I have no reason to decline, haven't I?" lumaki naman mga mata niya. Napatawa ako sa reaction niya, "Really?" I nodded, "Are you serious? Is this real? This ain't a dream, right?"
