Made from Dream

Chapter 4 - Two Lost Souls

After that disastrous encounter at the President's office...

Hey... Will you walk slowly? Jerome shouted.

I don't care what he is talking about.

I walked as fast as I can but he ran ahead and pulled me which made me fell out of balance then  landed in his arms tightly, enclosed near his body and our face are half inch away. I blinked my eyes but to no avail I am not dreaming... I just thought how soft his lips are, the movement of the air that will occupy a very tiny space between us while savouring the sweet grace of earth...

...then I heard a loud noise like choral making sound of cheers with clapping of hands, when suddenly my mind came back into reality which then only I came to realize our position at the middle of the basketball court...

This is so embarrasing! I muttered in my angry voice.

Don't dare walk ahead of me again or else I will let you taste...

I stopped him and asked; Taste what Jerome?

My own little way of punishment. He said.

I walked out from that scene. Then he followed me and asked for forgiveness. But honestly... at the back of my mind I like what he did but I don't like to invest any feelings nor give any malicious meaning to what happened a while ago.

Please... janely? Forgive me. I'll be more careful next time. I just want your attention with me alone and I hate chasing girls who walks away from me. Please... I'm sorry.

I looked at him and said:

Well, to forgive you... just tell the President to look for my replacement being your guide today because you don't like my attitude. And we'll be totally fine.

His facial expressions from very apologetic to confused lil man...

What? No! I mean, I can't disturb my grandma specially that she is so busy today at the office.

I checked my watch and it's 10 o'clock AM....

I have a great idea... he said while pulling my hand and let me follow him to the parking area and pushed me inside a car then closed it. Aboard with a car which he drove it himself we proceeded to a coffee shop. I am confused with him...

Am I the tour guide or you? I asked him.

I'll treat you with a drink so that we can freshen up then we can watch the sports competition in school in a very light mood and not as cold as you are right now. Jerome exclaimed.

I did not answer...

Then he lowerd down his face to the car's window and said,

Look I just want a companion whom I will be comfortable with... so I will be treating you so that we can start knowing each other and be friends. Is that okay?

He then opened the door of his car and held my hand but I went out on my own.

I can go out by myself... then we went inside the coffee shop and had a little conversation.

After a while we decided to go back to the school and watch basketball games, volleyball, badminton, swimming competitions, and cheer dannce competition. Atleast I became more considerate not because of him but because of the President's trust with me.

It's already pass 12 in the afternoon when I decided to go home because I need some beauty rest for tonight's event at the ball.

Magpapaalam na sana ako nang yayain na naman akong kumain dahil nagugutom na daw siya.

Sinabi ko naman na sa bahay na nila siya kumain kasi may gagawin pa ko. Then he insisted that I will accompany him or we will just buy food then We will eat at my apartment.

I desisted at the second choice so, we went out to eat for lunch.

Some people especially the young ones looked at him and even disturbed us while eating to ask some autograph, picture and hugged from him.

While he was busy doing this crazy things... naglakbay na naman ang utak ko...

Mahirap maging boyfriend ang isang artista, sa tindi nang work loads at different attentions in and outside from showbiz is very highly competitive with a girlfriend. The demand of time is limited and wala man lang kayong privacy dahil at first everything you see and post in the internet will be discussed by the tweetizens.

And If I will be asked, I just want a normal relationship.

He went back to his food and said sorry for the interruptions.

You don't have to say anything, We are not dating and you don't awe me anything. I answered.

He laughed and shooked his head then ate his food. I just watched him when he looked at me...

What? He asked

None, I just want to go home now. I answered back.

I thought you are fantasizing with my body and soul!... he said with eyes on me

I rolled my eyes. And said, Of course not. Yabang!

Soon as he finished his food he drove me to my apartment and as I went down to his car he locked the door and talked...

Look, I am sorry for what happened today. Please don't tell my grandma about that anymore and lastly I will fetch you up tonight going to the school ball.

No... you don't....

He opened the door and pushed me away.

I never had the chance to refused the offer. Poor Janely I said to myself.

Binuksan ko ang pintuan nang apartment at sumampa sa kama para makahiga at makapagpahinga.

Nakatulog ako nang ilang saglit at may kumatok sa pintuan... naalala ko si Marga na darating para ayusan at magdadala nang isusuot ko. Pero nagulat ako nang pagbukas ko sa pinto bumungad sa akin ang napaka ganda at gradiyosang gown na tantya ko parang gawa nang isang batikang designer. At habang pinag mamasdan ang itsura nang damit bumulaga sa akin si Marga...

Gandaaaaaaa!!!!!......

Hoy! Anu ka ba ginugulat mo ako. Lika na pasok na, san mo nakuha ito?

Kadarating nang kaibigan ko galing sa Maynila, sikat siyang mananahi nang mga gowns for celebrities eh tinawagan niya ako kasi may dadamitan siya na tiga dito sa atin. Kaya tinanong ko naman kung may available ba na ball gown and voila may bago siyang creation so yun pinadala ko sa kanya. Pagpapaliwanag ni Marga.

Nagtataka naman ako kung sino kaya sa mga schoolmates ko ang napakasosyal para galing pang maynila ang gumawa nang gown niya at talagang pinuntahan pa. Napaka ganda siguro nang gown nun, eh maganda na nga itong binigay sa akin paano pa kaya ung sa kanya.

At naligo muna ako habang hinahanda ni Marga ang mga gagamitin niya.

Nakaka excite naman. Pero nabadtrip ako nung naisip ko na makakasama ko na naman yung apo ni Madame na kala mo kung sinung gwapo at artista.

At sinimulan ko na ang pagligo...
