Alden Richards' P.O.V.
Another day has passed and the truth has not been revealed yet. I'm on my usual day, doing my work here and there. I have a busy schedule everyday, so busy that I always lie down on my bed as soon as I get home.
As of now, I'm having a photoshoot for a cover of a magazine. I'm striking as many poses as I can come up with in every shot they take. I heave a deep sigh, when they announced the break time.
Cause God gave me you
To show me what's real
There's more to life
That's my phone's ringtone! Someone's calling me! I hastily grabbed my phone, and quickly answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Richard?"
"Paolo?" I asked through the phone. Why is he calling me? "Yes, that's me!" He confirmed in his cheery voice.
"What is it? Is something the matter?" I heard him sigh. "Alden, I have a favor to ask." His voice sounded so pleading. I sat down on a chair, as I was prepared to what he'll say next.
And, his words made me scream so loud that everyone in the studio turned their attention to me. I apologized to them multiple times, embarrassed of what I did. "So, will you do it? Please?"
"I-I don't know...You know I'm busy these days." I reasoned an excuse, because I haven't done it before. "Come on! Please? Just this once? Pleaaaaseeee???" He pleaded more. I groaned, then messed up my hair in frustration.
The stylist suddenly ran up to me to fix my hair. Wow, that was fast. "Richaaaard, I won't ask anymore than this... Just grant me this one favor." Of all people, why did it have to be me? I mean, there are other guys besides me, so then why me? This is making me get a headache. I sighed in defeat. I have no choice, but to accept it. I do owe him for helping me in the Kalyeserye series.
"Fine, I'll do your favor." I accepted in my most normal voice. I heard him squeal in joy on the other end of the phone. "Thank you so very much! Thank you! Really!"
"It's okay... Just this once only, okay? Nothing more!" I reassured. This is gonna be the most absurd thing that I'll do for the rest of my life. "Yes! I promise! Thank you again!" He exclaimed in gratitude again. I smiled, then ran my hand through my hair. Perhaps, I helped him a lot for this favor.
But, how will it turn out though?
Maine Mendoza's P.O.V.
Tomorrow is the day! I have to buy a good dress and shoes! I sprung up from my bed, then changed into my casual clothes. It's time for shopping! I was about to leave, when Mom barged into my room. Oh crap...
"And, where do you think you're going, young lady? If I recall, you don't have anything scheduled for today." Mom questioned me, suspiciously. Her intense stare is making me nervous and scared. "Umm... I'm just gonna shop for a dress! I swear!" It's better to be honest, than to tell a lie that could make it worse.
"Shopping? Why would you shop so suddenly?" She questioned further. Mom is so persistent!
"I'm going to meet with Kuya Paolo tomorrow so... I mean, it'll be embarrassing if I show up, looking dull and boring." I spouted, while playing with the hem of my shirt. I heard her groan. Does she not like it? I gulped.
I looked up, and saw her rubbing her temples. "So, you're going to have a date with Paolo? Is that it?" What?! That's not it! I vigorously shook my head in response.
"No, it's not a date! Just a reunion meeting! I mean, it's been a while since we last saw each other." I frantically explained, probably waving my arms like a crazy woman. She sighed then grabbed my shoulders. "Fine, I believe you. You don't sound like you're lying. Thank you for being honest with me." She told me, then engulfed me in a hug. I pecked her cheek then went off in a jiffy. "Be careful! Make sure to come back here in 5 p.m.!" I heard her yell. I showed her my okay-sign with my hand, then continued on my way.
After shopping...
Well, that was tiring, but still I bought the perfect dress and shoes for tomorrow. I'm so excited! I have so many things to tell him!
Does Alden know about our meeting though? What if he doesn't? Will he be disappointed?
Wait
Why am I worried about him when I should be worrying for tomorrow's meet up with Kuya Paolo? Get it together, Meng! He's just your co-actor in Kalyeserye! He doesn't feel the same as much as you do to him. That thought stabbed my heart. It hurts. I shook away those painful thoughts, and returned home.
Tomorrow is gonna be a great day!
Alden Richard's P.O.V.
OH MAN! I'M NERVOUS AS HELL!
Seriously, this would be the first time in history of my life to do this kind of favor. I can already feel my palms sweating out of nervousness.
Just then, I received a text message from Paolo.
Speaking of the devil...
The text message read that I should buy roses and chocolates. Why would I buy those? I'm just going to go, then leave after. This is making me insane, really.
I should better be going though, if I'm going to buy roses and chocolates. I hopped on my van, and went to the nearest flower shop. I stepped out, then walked towards to the display of different kinds of flowers. I searched for roses. The saleslady approached me. "What can I get for you, sir?"
"A boquet of roses, please." I said, still eyeing the variety of flowers. "Coming right up!" She beamed, then started preparing the boquet. "Can I leave for a while? I'll be back really soon." I told the saleslady, interrupting her. She lifted her head up, then nodded. "Sure. Just give me your name."
"Alden Richard is my name. Thank you so much! I'll return as soon as possible." I exclaimed, then hurried to the nearest sweets shop that I could find. I saw a 7/11 store on my way so I made my way there. I quickly went to the chocolates section. I wonder what kind of chocolates I should buy.
I think Ferrero Rocher is a good choice. I grabbed two boxes of Ferrero Rocher. I went to the counter to purchase them. As soon as I bought them, I went back to the flower shop in a jiffy.
I saw that the boquet was already done and good to go. I thanked the saleslady, then paid for the boquet of roses.
Alright, time to meet her
Continue to the next part
Sorry for the late update!
I have started semestral break so I just finished this part. I'm sorry if it's kind of boring...
But don't worry! It'll be good on the next one since it'll be the last part...:(
Anyways, I hope you like it!
