Secretly Dating Her (Spotlight Series #1) [Complete]

Chapter 24

Everyone knows that Lily is not straight. She's open to everyone about her gender identity, which is I envied, because unlike me she's free to express herself while I'm still inside my closet hiding.

"Are you sure you're straight?" She straightforwardly asks looking at me with her attentive eyes.

I felt uneasy with her sudden question.

"Why do you asked?" I raised my brow. "Isn't it obvious to you?"

She chuckled softly, giving me her half smile.

"My gay radar said you're not straight." She grinned playfully.

I rolled my eyes. Her gay radar is right, but I'm not telling her.

"You should shut your mouth." I glared at her. "I'm reading my script, just mind your own business."

She just shrugged and looked down at her script.

I observed her for a while. I learned that, Lily was a child star. She's a solo singer, and now an actress. She's been in the industry since she was a kid.

"I learned that...alam ng lahat na you're gay," I uttered.

"Yup. I announced it in front of my family, and they supported me." She smiled.

"You're so free, it's means you're also free to like someone you want without any worries?"

She looked at me with sad face and smile.

"That's the only freedom I can't have."

We remained quite after she said that. Wala rin akong masabi roon sa sinagot niya sa tanong ko. Hindi ko rin alam kung anong sasabihin. I can't find an exact words to respond.

Maya maya pa ay sumulyap siya sa relo niya bago tumayo.

"I'll go ahead," she announced. "Nice meeting you." She smiled.

Before she left we took a photos together and posted them on our IG stories.

"Nice meeting you, ingat ka pauwi." I wave my hand.

She wave her hand enthusiastically.

Sakto ring nag text si Jayde na nasa labas na siya naghihintay. Nakangiti kong niligpit ang mga gamit ko bago nagpaalam sa mga kasama ko.

Magkasunod lang kami ni Lily, kaya agad ko siyang nakita na kayakap ang isang babaeng, medyo mas bata pa sa amin.

"Xhyrill, what are you doing here? Bakit ikaw ang nagsundo sa akin?" Rinig kong tanong niya.

"Walang available na driver kaya ako na lang. Pumayag naman ang Daddy mo kaya okay lang." Sagot no'ng Xhyrill bago siya pinagbuksan ng pinto.

Dahil abala ako sa panonood sa kanila, hindi ko namalayan na nasa tapat na pala ako ng sasakyan no Jayde, at nasa tapat ko na pala siya, at nakabukas na ang pintuan ng sasakyan niya.

Jayde followed my line of sight while grinning. She then looked at me. "Nang chi-chismis ka na ah."

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.

"I was just curious, okay?" I said with my brows furrowed.

"Okay." Humalakhak siya habang inalalayan ako papasok sa loob ng sasakyan.

Sinarado niya muna ang pinto nang makapasok na ako bago siya umikot papunta sa driver's seat.

"How was your meeting with, Lily?" She asks glancing me through the mirror while she maneuver the car.

"It was great. She's nice."

She nodded.

Huminto siya saglit sa ginagawa. May kinuha siya sa backseat at nang tingnan ko ito, agad akong napangiti.
