Terrified

Chapter 7: Closer (Part 2 of 3)

On the other hand, also spending a night inside her place instead of going out to enjoy the snow is Heart setting up her cameras for her live broadcast. She has always done this and it's nothing new for her to be preparing for this. However, what's new tonight for her to be preparing extraordinarily compared to her past usual live broadcasts is because Fatima will be watching her as promised. Facing cameras and talking as if she's on her own is her expertise, but this skill wavers when knowing there's someone special also looking at the camera for her.

Heart set her cameras by her pantry area which she learned to love as her background ever since her first vlog with Fatima. Apart from her usual white background or from her usual casual living room, she is showing a new side of her as she settled on the pantry with everything set, thanks to Fatima's influence. If before she's all fine having a live broadcast with her bare face and looking like she just woke up, this time she groomed herself to look good, putting additional make-up and made sure her hair is neatly done which is her best asset according to her followers.

As soon as everything's set, Heart took a deep breath then starts the broadcast by awkwardly and nervously greeting, "Hi guys..."

It hasn't been a minute and her fans are starting to enter the broadcast so fast. Majority of the comments are the usual compliments she always sees and just a bit of haters trolling around, yet she cares not. The most eye-catching comments she can see today are those that noticed she's nervous this time, those comments that involve Fatima, and those that are demanding for more contents from her and Fatima as they are asking them to have more dates like the last time.

"Tonight, I'm doing my live broadcast in my pantry area. How is it?" Heart started saying to kick off. "It's my first time doing this and I hope it looks good but anyways, I'm back again to talk to you guys and answer some of your questions. Please go easy on me and I'm sorry if ever I cannot answer everyone since the comments are going too fast." She continued and flashed her eye smile that never failed to melt the hearts of her fans.

"Your latest vlog with Fatima was so cute! You guys look so good together! We want more! Will you release more vlogs with Fatima?" One of the comments said which Heart picked to answer.

Heart acts thinking then she replies, "I'll see what I can do about it. It would be cool if I can and as long as Fatima agrees to do more with me. She's a busy person too and I have to match my daily schedules with her while I'm here. But we'll see..."

"Will you be going back to Thailand for Holidays?" Another commented.

And Heart replies willingly, "I may not be able to go back this year. My parents will be travelling as well and I decided not to go with them. I have friends here and this place is very cool too so I'll spend my holidays here and enjoy as much as I can. But don't worry guys, I'm not lonely at all. It's a new experience for me to be spending my holidays far from home so I'm more excited about it."

"New friends you mean Fatima Anoñuevo? Will you be with her? Are you and Fatima Anoñuevo dating? You look like a couple to me." These are the other follow-up comments that caught Heart's eyes that came bombarding the comments section

To which she immediately answers collectively, "Just to clarify guys, Fatima and I aren't dating. We're just... friends."

Saying they are friends somewhat caused an ache on her chest as if she's against her own words. Heart became so attached to her she's lost of how she should label their bond. She's always been there as a friend as far as she wants to believe it herself but deep within her heart she has done so much for being just friends with her. She has done things for Fatima which she never did to someone else, not even to her parents and closest friends back home. She never felt this excited before being with someone and only now because it's Fatima. She never felt connected to anyone she has featured so far in her vlogs, only with Fatima. Everything she's experiencing for the first time is all with Fatima.
