ON THE SIDELINES

CHAPTER 23

FIENNA SAREM TOMAS'S POV

The season went like a blurr, seme-finals is coming up next.

Slovenia ang makakalaban ng Japan, and it will be held here in the Philippines.

Finally! After not seeing each other for a month! Hindi naman lahat ng oras mapupuntahan ko ang laban ni Kai.

And I have a work, Kai understands that perfectly. He knows naman na I will always support him despite me not being there physically.

I will be the one reporting this season, lagi naman. Anyway another fan meeting will be held here in the Philippines.

Malaki kasi ang fanbase ng team Japan dito sa Pilipinas kaya naman demanded talaga ang pag kakaroon ng fan meeting.

Hindi rin naman tumatanggi dito ang team Japan lalo na at way din nila ito para marelex sila at makakuha ng motivation and support galing sa mga fans.

"Hey there!" Bati ko kay Kai ng buksan nito ang room nya.

Gulat itong tumingin at agad din namang nakabawi, his hugs tells me how much he misses me.

I miss him too, so much.

"I miss you si much!" Gigil itong humalik sa pisnge ko matapos akong yakapin.

I kissed his cheeks too before hugging him again, mabuti at wala silang training ngayon. I wanted to ask him for a date, mamayang gabi pa naman ang laban nila kaya may oras pa sya.

"I miss you too, do you have time?" Diniretso ko na agad sya.

"For you? Always baby" I can't help but blushed at what he said.

Baby! He called me baby! Parang mas gusto ko nalang tuloy magpababy kesa ang kumain sa labas.

"You're blushing so hard" Hinampas ko ito sa kanyang braso, balik na naman sa pagiging mang aasar.

Mabuti nalang at hindi ako mabilis maasar, well like I told everyone we reporters are trained to be patient.

Hindi tatalab sa'kin ang mga katarantaduhan ni Kai.

"Let's just go," Hinila ko na 'to palabas ng hotel room nila.

Ok lang kahit hindi na sya magbihis, gwapo naman sya kahit na anong pasuotin sakanya.

I thought about what we should do for a short time we have for each other. What I didn't think is that Kai is a very famous athlete.

"Kai you look so cute!"
"Do your best later Kai!"
"Is that Fienna? Hi miss Fienna!"
"You gusy look so cute!"

Kaya ayan ang kinalabasan, dinumog kami sa mall. Luckily may dumating na mga guards para alalayan kaming makaalis sa gitna ng mga tao.

I felt sad because I didn't get to spend much time with Kai.

Hindi na kami nakakain sa mall kaya naman nagdesisyon nalang kami na tumambay sa condo ko.

Malapit lang ang condo ko sa Araneta, dito kasi kadalasan naglalaro ang mga volleball player kaya para tipid gas dito na'ko tumira.

"I'm really sorry about that Fien," He said in a low voice, I know that he also wanted to spend time with me as much a I wanted it.

Lumapit naman ako dito, "Let's cook?" Nakangiting tanong ko dito.

He looked at me and nod, hinila ko na 'to at nagsimula na kaming magluto.

We cooked three course meal for our condo date for today.

"A canapé for you mr. hearthrob of volleyball," Appetizer.

He gladly accepted my offering, "And this one for you ms. reporter" Binigay naman nito sa'kin ang gawa nya.
