"Gah!" I groaned after finishing the last set of my workout. "Well done, Soleil!"
"I could eat a horse, Martin." I was so tired that I couldn't even stand up without taking his hand to help me. He laughed, "Bawal 'yan, nothing heavy." I only have a few more days before the audition and I'm already being trained hard to keep my body healthy and fit, thanks to Anita.
It was also days without seeing Zyrille that much because of her project in Baguio. The talk about the France trip has yet to come up since we haven't seen each other pa. We planned to see each other again once our schedule was free but, it was beginning to be a hassle now that Anita kept telling me that I had to maintain a low profile outside. I don't even get it. I don't have the fame that they want yet.
Do I really have to?
"Yes naman, ang galing nito."
For a second, I couldn't pinpoint whose voice was it but when he suddenly placed his hand on my shoulder and made me face him, I knew who I was now speaking to. "Aeros...?" But, I had no intention of being ecstatic given that I was so hungry, bad mood na ako.
"Aba, ang taray ngayon ah. Tapos ka na ba sa mahiyain era?" He laughed before removing his hold on me. "I want food nga kasi." I told him and saw him nod his head, "Kain tayo? May malapit lang na restaurant dito. Kaunti lang tao, alam mo na."
"Baka sugurin na naman kapogian ko." Oo nga pala, this dude's famous.
"Your treat?" I mean he did invite me to eat with him. Alangan naman ako pa manlibre, hindi naman ako yung nagyaya. Tumango na lang ito at pinunasan na rin ang kanyang mukha dahil mukhang pagod rin sa workout niya.
After changing my clothes, I grabbed my phone to see that I had a few messages from Eliza and not one message from Zyrille. Must be pretty busy, huh...
I'm not the usual type to beg for someone's attention.
I really am not.
Pero hindi naman masamang mag text sakin, ah! Excuse me? Where's the updates? Ako 'tong panay send ng selfies sa kanya sa kung ano mang mga ginagawa ko ngayon habang siya, 'di man lang nagse-seen. Left on delivered, seriously?
Nako! lagot ka sakin.
Lulunurin kita ng mga halik, enebe.
"Soleil, uy!"
Hindi ko na namalayan na nakatulala na pala ako ngayon habang kasama ko na si Aeros sa restaurant na sinasabi niya. Masarap daw seafood dito, let's see if tama nga siya. Kakatapos lang kasi namin mag order kaya palagi akong sumisilip sa selpon ko kung may notification na manggagaling kay Zyrille pero wala, bwisit. Napansin na siguro ni Aeros na wala sa kanya atensyon ko kaya linakasan na niya pag tawag sakin.
"Ay, sorry, ano 'yun?" I smiled apologetically and raised my brows at him. Tumawa na lang ito at nagsalita, "Sabi ko kung free ka ba mamayang gabi? I'm going clubbing kasi with a few of my friends as well, I want you to tag along."
