When We Happened

Chapter 39: Jealousy, Jealousy

Chapter 39

Jealousy, Jealousy

Stella blocked me after my 'my day 1' post.

I don't know if it's because of my Instagram post or if it's because of Storm's, which just echoed what I posted. Especially since they were obviously taken on the same day. Kim took those photos outside of our apartment when we went there to get some of my clothes and toiletries.

Receiving those pictures through airdrop was kind of a wake-up call, too. It really hit me that we can't just be ourselves outside because someone could see us and take pictures and then post them online. I don't really like PDA, but I'm just finding out that it's hard to control myself when I already spent so much time staying away from him.

But since I am apparently a viral-post machine, I can't just do things outside without a thought anymore. From the reception I had at the airport to our foiled first date attempt, hindi na dapat pa kailangang makumbinsi ako ng stolen pictures naming dalawa para mag-isip-isip sa mga kilos ko sa labas.

Pero matapos ng away namin, masaya ako na okay na talaga kami at nag-post na rin siya ng pictures namin. And I don't know how many times I've said this, but I just really love being a girlfriend.

Kung alam ko lang kung gaano kasaya at kagaan sa pakiramdam maging isang significant-other at hindi ako nagpadala sa takot, siguro ay mas inagahan ko nang maging matapang.

"Are you sure you want to come with me later? Pwede ka pa mag back-out," I said to storm as I fixed his bowtie.

Tinaasan ako nito ng kilay. "Why would I back out?"

"Baka lang napipilitan ka lang," sagot ko sa kanya habang natatawa. Yumakap ako sa kanya at idinikit ang tenga ko sa dibdib niya. "I don't want to put you through that kung hindi mo talaga gustong sumama."

Naramdaman ko ang paghalik niya sa tabi ng ulo ko. "Baka ikaw ang may ayaw na sumama ako."

"She will be there, you know," bulong ko. Of course, matutunugan niya rin talaga ang worries ko tonight. His ex-girlfriend.

I felt his arms tightened around me. "My eyes will only be on you."

I moved away slightly and frowned at his face. "You make me sound so insecure," my annoyed ass grumbled at him.

His smile never left his face. "No, I'm just reassuring you because I don't want you to feel or think that you're not enough for me." He then kissed the tip of my nose, his arms still wrapped around me. "You are, baby. Okay?"

I closed my eyes as I thanked him. His stares are just too intenses sometimes. "Thank you, Storm."

"No worries, baby." I wanted to say those three big words, but I stopped myself. Kakabati lang namin. I don't want to push it. Smiling at him, I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a big, tight hug.

"C'mon, let's go. We don't want to get late for this event."

It's a party for Sir Red's relaunching of House of Red, everyone's invited. Everyone from fashion designers, their team, and other industry people were invited to come. I also heard from a reliable source that the House of Andersen are coming, bringing their new muse...

Stella Irizari.

After I left for New York, Sir Red had no choice but to pause and not join the Philippine Fashion Week. I was shocked at first but he really wanted me to be a part of his show.

Learning that I was leaving for months, I was ready to let go of this spot. I wasn't expecting for him to completely pause his production and wait for me.
