I Still Love You

Chapter 23: Fashion show

Pagkatapos naming mananghalian, pinauna ko na si Erin sa hall kung saan ang venue ng fashion show mamaya, habang dumaan naman muna ako sa CR.

Matapos ko gumamit ng CR, nagmamadali akong lumabas nang biglang magring ang CP ko.

Agad ko namang hinanap sa pouch na dala ko ang telepono ko habang deretso parin ako sa paglalakad, Hindi ko tuloy napansin na may kasalubong ako.

Nabunggo ako sa isang bulto ng lalaki at muntik ng matumba kung hindi lang ako nakahawak sa may isa sa upuan. Tumalsik din ang pouch na dala ko at nagsabog ang mga laman noon sa sahig.

Agad naman nilimot ng lalaki isa-isa ang mga laman ng pouch ko saka tumayo para iabot sana sa akin ang pouch ko pero parehong gulat ang ekspresyon namin ng makita na namin ang mukha ng isa't-isa.

"K-kenzo..."

"Here." Sabi niya nang makabawi siya sa gulat sabay abot ng pouch ko.

"Ah..uhm..sa-salamat." Hindi ko talaga kayang maging mahinahon pag malapit siya sa akin.

"Watch your step." Yon lang at nilagpasan niya na ako.

Tss! Ang yabang! Akala mo kung sino. Eh siya rin kaya hindi tumitingin sa dinadaanan niya, kaya nga nagkabungguan kami e.

Bumalik ako sa sarili ko nang biglang tumunog ulit ang CP ko. Si Harry pala, baka daw malate siya. Bakit kaya?

(Kenzo's POV)

"Babe, you made it here!" Veronica threw her arms around me. She seems very happy to see me.

"I'm still not goin' I have a meeting to attend to, that's why I'm here."

She pulled away, staring at me with disappointment in her eyes. What can I do? She was so stubborn I'm still not in favor in her partnership with Jamie. I found it so ironic that my past and my present will be working as a team without knowing what's really happening. What if they've found out? It may cause a misunderstanding or worse a fight.

"I can't believed you! We're already talked about this, right? I thought you're going to support me all the way."

"Roni, please. Not here, you're making a scene. If you want to talk about this you can go with me, in my office."

"No. If you don't want then fine! I have to go. Lot's of luck on your meeting." She said then walked out.

"Roni! Babe, I promise to be there as soon as my meeting's over! I'm sorry." I yelled but it didn't bother her.

Yeah right, Kenzo! You did it again. You're really good in making mistakes! Who said your past and your present should not work together? It's you! idiot! And just by now you said the forbidden words! You really are so weak! I can't believe you!

I heave a deep sigh.

"Ah! Women. Why they're so complicated?" I hissed as I move out to the other way.

( Jamie's POV )

Nagsimula ng magdatingan ang mga guess at ibang mga kilalang tao na inimbitaha namin. Dumating din ang mga malalapit naming mga kaibigan ni Erin para sumuporta. Dumating si Chloe kasama si Edward galing ng France. Nandito din sila Matthew at Adrian, pamilya ni Erin at syempre si Ate kasama si Kuya Rob.

"Hey Jamie!" Chloe greeted and hugged me.

"Chloe! I missed you. You didn't tell me that you're goin' here with Edward."
