Asteria Gutierrez

Bumaba ako sa kusina at nakita si Caelum na umiinom ng tubig at nasa harapan niya ang first aid kit.

"Hey." Mahinang sabi ko. Kahit naman wala na kaming mic at walang tao sa baba ay mas maganda pa rin na mag ingat.

"Come here." Sabi niya at lumapit ako sa kanya. Akmang hahawakan niya ang braso ko pero iniwas ko ito.

Sinimangutan niya ako pero nginitian ko siya. "'Wag baka may makakita."

He sighed and nodded at me. I reached for the first aid kit and started to put some gel to soothe the burn, but I can't reach it and I'm having a hard time.

Caelum went around the table and stopped in front of me.

"Let me do it. You're clearly having a hard time but you're still stubborn. I don't care what other people would say, I'll gladly tell them that I love you." He said while putting the gel.

My face turned red because of what he said. "But you can't do that, okay?" I softly told him.

He sighed for the second time. "I know and I respect your decision. I'll wait for you always, love."

"Hmmm, thank you." I looked at him and smiled. He returned my smile with a beaming smile of his.

Whenever I see him smile it makes my heart happy, knowing that I'm the reason behind the smile.

"Done na." He patted my arm and released it. I stood up and thanked him.

"Thank you, good night." I waved at him and walked upstairs.

I heard his footsteps behind me.

He suddenly drag me into a corner and hugged me. I was scared and wanted to get out of his hug, because of the cameras.

"There's no cameras here." When he said that, my worries flew out of the window. I melted into his embrace.

"I missed your hug." I said to him. He grumbled under his breath. "Me too, love. Me too."

I tapped his shoulder to let me go.

"Goodnight Caelum." He kissed my forehead and hugged me again. "Goodnight, baby. I love you." He released me and I kissed his cheek before running towards my room.

When I reached my room, I turned off the lights and climbed into my bed. My phone dinged and I saw a text from Caelum.

Dream of me, love. I love you.

I replied, I will, see you tomorrow.

I closed my phone and stared at the ceiling. Thinking how and when I should confess to Caelum.

I let out a sigh and closed my eyes. I'll think about it tomorrow. I'm too tired.

The internet is in turmoil when they saw the interactions between Asteria and Caelum.

[caelum bakit ka ba nagjoin ng variety show?? hmmmm?? para kanino]

[caelum if si asteria ang jowa mo, ABA BEH BET NA BET !!!!! DASURV SO MUCH]

Caelum is holding his phone in his room while laying in the bed and looking at the comments. Of course he saw the negative comments and he was in a bad mood. However, when he saw the comment saying that they look good together, a smile bloomed at his face.

[GAGO NGUMITI NA NAMAN SI CAELUM]

[CAELUM SINONG KAUSAP MO?]

While looking at the comments he saw Asteria's reply to his text and smiled fondly. He turned off his phone and the lights in his room and went to sleep.

dog food is commonly used in c novels, kase single dogs ang tawag sa mga single so pag may nakakakilig is parang pinapakain sila ng dog food TT gets ba? kung hindi, edi wag na.

pink bubbles is used din sa mga c novels, eto yung parang romantic scene.

ayun lang, good night sorry sa late update hehe dami talaga kase ginagawa.
