Lay Me By Your Side

3

Matt: thank you for allowing me to escort you the ball tonight ..sabi ko while looking at her .. she just smiled and nod at me .. that's it ..

..awkward silence, while on our way to the grand ballroom ..

Sarah: ahmm , ah ok ..smile

that was the only word she uttered to me, wala na..silence na ulit ..but its ok, atleast we're this close..im the luckiest guy on earth ..her smile..just seein her smile at me felt like heaven ..

..at the Ballroom..

host: everybody, let us all welcome our future CEO- Mr.Matteo Guidicelli with his muse - our generation's superstar Ms.Sarah Geronimo

everybody's clapping ang cheering for us as we are about to go to our table near the stage.. i saw so many reactions from the audience..kungsabagay , kung titingnan naman kasi ako ,para akong tikling na binihisan ng suit para magmukhang tao na katabi ang isang magandang binibini ..malamang, pinagtatawan ako ng iba ,chinichismiss din siguro, na kaya lng naging escort ako ni Sarah ay dahil sa ako ang anak ng Boss nila ..dahil kung hindi lang ako ang susunod na CEO ,malamang ,wala ni isa sa kanila ang matutuwang makita ako ..i felt embarassed ..then suddenly i heard her talk ...

Sarah: ok ka lng ba, ?sabay tingin sa kanya,
mukhang totoo nga talaga ang balitang di ka sanay sa limelight - sabi nito sabay,ngiti ..

Matt: yeah im ok..and true, im not use to this...

Sarah just simply smiled at me ...and she tapped my arms, as if telling me tha everything's gonna be ok ..

then i heard my Dad ...

Mr.G : everyone, may i have your attention please..
Thank you..this night is the moment where i will formally announce to everyone the appointment of my only son,Matteo , to be the newest CEO of AGB network ..

i heard them clap,,and as my dad continue his speech, i stood still to where i was,and di ko napansin na umalis na pala sa tabi ko si Sarah ..My dad has been my idol and inspiration,kaya ko pinagbutihan ang pagaaral ko ..i never want to disappoint dad in any ways ..then i heard him call me and ask me to stand by his side..then doon ko lng napansin na nasa kabilang table na pala si Sarah talking to a guy.....

after dad's speech . ..i gave my speech to them as well ..thanking them , etc etc etc ... kahit na nasa harapan ako ang nagbibigay ng speech, i cant help gazing at Sarah..Who was she's talking with..why are they so sweet ..are they couple??those we're in my mind at that moment ..then i saw them left secretly .. then i finished my speech and i secretly followed them ..

Guy: what was that?? i thought you're not coming to the ball..

Sarah: di naman talaga ako pupunta,kaso napakiusapan ako ni BossG na samahan dw ang anak nya sa ball ..kaya ako nandito ..

Guy: so youre telling me that , kaya ka lang andito ay dahil sa tikling na yun??

Sarah: shhhh ..watch your words..may pangalan ang tao, He is Matteo and not tikling ...

Guy: whatever. ..ako dapat ang escort mo at hindi yung tik..Matteo na yun!! Babe, you know how much i want to be your escort diba??
sabay hapit sa beywang no Sarah ..

Sarah: ako din naman,eh, .gusto ko ikaw lng ang escort ko ..kaso wala akong choice eh..utos ni Boss G..

Guy: then,let us just play around you know..baka gusto ka ni BossG para sa anak nya ..but seriuosly ,im jealous .. sabay tawa nito ..

Sarah: pwde ba , wag ka ngang mag joke jan..as if naman papatulan ko yun ..
tumawa na din ito .. babe, wag ka magseselos ha..i need to play around para sa career ko din ito ..para sa atin ..hayaan mo, pag ok na ang lahat, di na natin itatago ang relasyon natin ..

Matteo's POV

then i saw them kissed..akala ko masakit na yung makita silang naghahalikan, pero ang mas masakit sa lahat ay yung, kaya ka lng sinamahan sa ball ay dahil inutusan ka lng ng Boss mo ..at dahil anak ako ng Boss nya, ay di nya ito matatangihan .. masakit mapakingan sa taong mahal mo ..oo ,higit pa sa admiration ang nararamdaman nya para kay Sarah ..Mahal nya na ito ..pero nung narining nya mismo sa bibig niya na di ka nya papatulan kailanman, yun ang pinakamasakit ..Ginamit lng sya ni Sarah kapalit mas magandang break sa showbiz ..ginamit sya nito para sa career..and his DAD , .wala ba itong tiwala sa kanya?na kinailangan pa nitong utusan si Sarah para lang makasama nya sa ball??..he clenched his fist and swear ,that one day,this woman named SarahGeronimo will beg for his attention and love!!he promised himself to make her pay for all the hurts she had brought him ....

after hearing their convo ..he left the ballroom .. he then promised himself to change - physically and emotionally ...
