Boy Next Door (LeAga)

34

To leaxxaga - Hi! Here you go! :)

They just got back after that vacation and here she is, trying to keep her sanity while doing a full-length speech about RH law.

Aga came with a glass of milk in hand. Inilapag n'ya ito sa mesa sa tabi ng laptop ni Lea at lumakad na palayo.

"Babes!" she called out. "Tapusin mo na yan. Ginusto mo yan e. You know you could say no to their offer if you want."

She pouted. "You know --" "I know how you want to stand for what you believe in, how you want to fight for what you think is right. Oo na. What more do you need?" She smiled. "Just an order of your pancakes please?"

"At twelve midnight?"

"Pretty please?"

"Fine."

He was already at the door when she called out again. He turned his back to face her and asked what. He didn't notice she was already in front of him. She gave him a peck on the lips and muttered 'thank you' before pushing him out.

"Babes?" He yelled minutes after cooking her pancakes. He entered the room and saw Lea sleeping soundly, her head rested on her closed laptop on the table. He went closer and noticed her still full glass of milk. He shook his head and tucked some loose hair that were blocking her gorgeous face behind her ears.

He sat beside her and leaned closer. He kissed her nose. "Come on babes. Your pancakes are ready. Kumain ka na para makapagpahinga. Maaga ka pa bukas."

Lea let out a soft moan. "Stay. Stay with me. Tabihan mo ako, please." She said sleepily. He smiled and held her cheeks. "Yes I will."

"Babes! Antagal naman! You are to deliver a speech not to join a beauty pageant! And if ever you will, mananalo ka effortlessly." He bantered.

They are on their way to Bulacan where she'll deliver the speech na pinagpuyatan n'yang tapusin. DepEd asked her for a talk about RH Law, sex education. Sure she'll be asked: she's a vocal supporter and her first stop, Bulacan State University, main campus. (Mag-iinarte pa ba ako? Syempre sa school muna namin!)

And they arrived just on time. The masters of the ceremony were already introducing her when they got out of the car. They are surrounded by guards securing them from any possible attempt of moving closer to her. She is biting her thumb: a clear sign of nervousness. Aga held her hand and intertwined it with his, kissing the side of her head in the process and whispered on her ear, "Don't be nervous. Isipin mo na lang you are delivering an acceptance speech for another Tony, okay?"

She looked at him and smiled. As they walk inside the Valencia Hall, the seminar's venue, Aga tried to let go of her hand but she held his tighter. "Hold my hand. Just hold it please." She said  as she face right and left, smiling and waving at everybody.

While delivering her speech, Lea's phone rang. It is with Aga who is sitting at side of the stage constantly smiling at her. He answered it and heard a manly voice over the phone.

"....."

"Excuse me? Who's this?"

"......"

"I'm sorry she's in stage right now. Please try to call later tonight. She still has more to do. Thanks."

He ended the call just in time that she finished her speech. He looked at her and smiled weakly.

"Syempre hindi po kami papayag na umalis ang Broadway diva ng walang sample. Di ba BulSUans?" The emcee said and everybody shouted in glee. She smiled and took the microphone.
