Behind the Scenes

Chapter 77

Mikha's POV

After hours of talking about how excited we are about the concert, specially with our solo performances, the girls finally decided to call it a day.

Grabe, their energy is out of this world, they can talk about anything under the sun for the whole day without getting tired.

"Mikhs, we will go na." Colet informed.

I know we have the same thinking, she just wants to lay on her bed and rest.

"Ahh, okay. Drive safe, Col. Ikaw na muna bahala sa kanila." I answered, smiling.

"Yeah, as if I have a choice." she joked and called the girls.

When they heard Colet's voice, they instantly walk towards the door. They know it's not a good time to push her angry button.

"Huh? I thought we are already in your condo, Mikhs? why are you going out with us? c'mon, no need for you to walk us down the parking." Staku teased, her smirk is annoying.

"Ow? where are you going Mikhs? Bar?" Maloi asked.

My eyes instantly find A, who's clinging to Jho. She's already looking at me. Wow? don't tell me she's believing the two annoying creatures.

"Stop teasing Mikhs na, she's old enough to go clubbing." Sheena joined the teasing.

I glared at the three, trying to shut them up without saying anything because I'm saving my energy for an hour of driving.

They just laugh at me and all I can do is to accept the fact that I can't keep up with their insane energy.

I insisted to drive her home and that's why she's in my passenger seat right now.

No matter how many times I told myself that I should not be too clingy with her, it just.. I always forgot about it the moment I'm being aware of what she needed.

I don't know, it's like, I'm willing to do anything just to make her feel safe.

I'm thinking of what to say to break the silence when her phone rings.

I glanced at her and she's looking at her phone in hand with furrowed eyebrows. Confusion is very evident on her face.

After staring at it for more than five seconds, she answered.

"Yes, Hello?" she spoke and listening to the other line.
"W-why? for what?" she asked.
"I'll think about it, Jeremy. I really don't know what to answer right now." another silence. "Okay, I understand. Bye." she ended the call.

Okay, so it's the Jeremy guy again.

I decided not to pry, maybe it's not the right time or.. the fact that I'm just an ex and what I feel doesn't matter in her decision anymore.

"H-He is asking if I can give him another chance." she suddenly spilled.

I sighed and remained silent. You don't have the rights to be jealous, Mikha.

"He wants to meet me for another project." she added.

"Oh- Hah. Uhm, I mean.. well, yeah.. that's great." I said half heartedly.

"You think it's fine to give him another shot?" she asked, looking at me.

You mean, gun shot? just kidding.

"A, it's up to you, if you think there's no harm, he is being sincere and.. most importantly, if it is something you know you want to do, then it's a.. go." I answered.

I don't want to be selfish, if it is another opportunity for her, I will give my one hundred support as long as.. the Jeremy guy will promise to behave.
