That Girl (AlDub story)

Prologue

"Before you became you, it has always been you. I have always liked you, since then."

I can still remember how those words came from your lips. How your dimples deepen when you said those words. And how it suddenly felt like it's just the two of us in that big arena. Slow down, that's what I wanted to tell you. But I think my smile was already close to my ears, it's too wide to close and function for those two words.

"Believe me, this is real. God really did gave you."

I don't know how loud and scandalous the crowd were in that moment, because the beating of my heart was way louder and more scandalous. Your eyes were really looking straight to my eyes, it's beaming lovely rays of emotions. It was different from the eye contacts we made. I remember trying to decipher the words you are saying and the situation we are in. I'm trying to think rationally, and I thought probably you're just acting? Maybe you're just doing it for fan service?

But I hope not.

It has been just few days since our movie was out in the cinema. We've been receiving too many compliments and constructive criticisms. Awkward acting, amateur, etc., name it. I accepted them all, I know I have a lot of room for improvements. What to expect I was just blest with a very huge opportunity.

"I must have been Jose Rizal in my past life, I did something as great as saving my country, to deserve someone like you."

I can still feel the electrical waves from the roots of my hair to my toe whenever I remember this. God! Probably he got this idea from the movie he made before? You are too professional Mister!

From the past 5 months of everyday flirting on screen, you made me feel like I've known you from a long time. In our life before we were Lianne and Warren, respectively perhaps? Yay! That's too cheesy!! As time goes by, the feelings that I once have for you-- fan girl's love-- now bloomed into something else. More deeper, vivid and bewitching.

But you know what made it more impossible to bear? It was the fact that you said, "Allow me to court you." when we were inaudible to the audience. It felt too real and sincere. I clearly remember you putting down the microphone to say those words. And I think if there will only be someone to repeat that part of the show, and decode how your lips moved then, I know they will know, why I had those expression in my eyes. I remembering you saying it while holding on my arms, and looking straight into my eyes. Your eyes are whispering about seeking for approval and pleading that I should believe you. I felt my nape warm, your words are ardently sneaking in my heart. I think my heart will explode. I think I will explode into constellation of stars and will still continue to twinkle happily.

I was-- "Leng!!!!!" Tania screamed as she opens the door. I stared at her, confused and half surprised. I looked away for a while and looked at her again. "Leng, Warren is downstairs!!"

Wtf. I felt my eyes widen, and I stood up right away. I sat on the chair in front of the dresser that was placed in front of Tania's bed. "Oh my God, why is he here?! How does he looked like?? Oh my God, it would take me too much time if I would dress up, but it's embarrassing too if I will go down while I'm looking like this!! Tania--" I panicked.

I turned towards the door and looked at Tania. She was no longer there and she was already lying on her bed, while she was holding her stomach as she laughed her heart out. "Tania, don't tell me..." I warned her half knowingly what the heck she did, half hoping that Warren is really downstairs.

After a while, she sat in her bed and looked at me. "Oh my God Leng, I didn't thought you'd react that way!" I just smiled at her sarcastically and rolled my eyes, and walked towards my bed again and lied back again.

I placed my Macbook Pro on my stomach, while scrolling my blog. Ughhhh!! So embarrassing!!!!

I've never been opened with my feelings to anyone, well probably because I don't know in myself too??

Well I am not saying that I like him already okay?? I was just thinking about him earlier and then he will be suddenly there?? I mean that's, uhm, like telepathy and it's surprising. And I was just surprised, that's all!!!

I mean I'm not saying that I don't like him at all, because who wouldn't like him right? He's handsome, professional, talented, wonderful, lovable and he's perfect. Yes! I like him but not to that extent okay!!! I just like him for who he is and not for something else.

I was still using my point and middle finger, and stroking the trackpad up and down when Tania said, "Uhm Leng, you've scrolled to the bottom already, you need to select "next" already..." I looked at Tania in a flash, she was already kneeling beside me. I sat up right away, and closed my laptop.

I inhaled and exhaled, and looked at Tania. "Tania, let me get this straight. I don't like Warren like that okay? I just like him this way and not other way. Okay?"

Tania smiled and stood up. "I know you might be pressured by the people around you, but you have to realize that these are your own feelings and emotions. No one should dictate if you like him already or not yet." She started walking towards the door. "You should answer the problem first, before you ask your teacher if it's correct." She opened the door and she closed it behind her. And she disappeared.

Woah Tania, what did you just say? I know my sister is smart, but that was just trivial! I lied in my bed at my back, and I stared on the white ceiling.

"You should answer the problem first, before you ask your teacher if it's correct."

My teacher is, no one, probably Tania? My problem is, "Do I like Warren that way?" My answer is...
