Chasing Dreams (Book 2)

Six

SANDRO's POV

I woke up at five and I was surprised that my face was so close to hers. I didn't notice that I fell asleep last night beside her. I blink twice and literally stop breathing. This was the first time that I've been this close to her. I feel my heart beating so fast. She move a little and rub her nose. I chuckled but I stop myself from making a sound. I tuck a strand of her hair behind her ears. I stared at her for a moment and tried talking to her during her sleep.

Sandro: Sino ka ba talaga Samantha?

I whispered trying not to wake her up. I smiled when I remembered her text messages. I shook my head. This is not right. Everything's not right. I slowly stood up from my seat. I glanced at her before I left.

SAMANTHA's POV

When I opened my eyes, Sandro is no longer beside me. I felt sad and disappointed at the same time, hoping that I get to see his face first thing in the morning.

I stood up from my seat, rubbing my eyes and yawning. Then I grabbed my phone just to check if he left me any message but there's none.

How can you be so sure Samantha if he will be returning the feelings that you have for him? The first time we saw each other I already claimed that I'm his wife and that's it! Everything was a fcking joke since it was just a stupid dream! This is already the reality, wake up from day dreaming!

I was trying to sort the files infront of me when I saw a piece of paper with a note:

"I'll pick you up at 8. See yah!"

Maybe he was doing this out of pity. I bitterly smile. Kailan ba babalik ang ala-ala ko? If hindi ako yung Samantha sa panaginip ko, ano bang papel ko sa buhay ni Sandro?

I get the piece of paper with his note and put it at the side table. I sat on the bed and took a deep breath.

Samantha: Samantha. Samantha Cruz. Cruz. Sam. Sammy. Ugh! Please! Give me a hint!

This is frustrating. I can't remember anything! I put my palm on my face and pull my hair out of frustration.

Samantha: I have to get back to my old life!

I was surprised when my phone rang and saw Sandro's name flashing on the screen. I just stare at it until it stops ringing. After a minute, it rang again. I don't have a choice but to answer it. I clear my throat before speaking.

* On the phone

Samantha: H-hello?

Sandro: Why are you not answering my call? Are you alright? Did something happen?

Samantha: I... i just woke up.

Sandro: Ah? Alright. Are you ready? It's already 7. I'm on my way to pick you up.

Samantha: S-saan ba tayo pupunta?

Sandro: Basta. It's a surprise!

Samantha: Dito na lang ako.
