Change and Chances

Chapter 13 - The Decision

It was indeed a busy day for me. Umaga palang kumalat na agad sa iba't ibang social sites and blogs ang pagbabalik ko pati na ang about sa live press conference later. It got different kinds of reactions however, those didn't matter to me. Hindi ako naapektuhan o anuman dahil hawak  at alam ko ang totoo. The truth shall prevail ika nga.

I may be mean and arrogant b-itch at all times pero alam ng lahat ng supporters, sponsors and all of the companies I've been with na ever since na pumasok ako sa industriya na ito, ipinakita ko na kung sino talaga ako at kung gaano ako katotoo.

I never sugarcoat my words. Pag ayaw ko ng isang bagay, I would tell it directly to their faces. Kung ano ang nasa isip ko, yun ang sasabihin ko and I won't even think about filtering my words. I'm brutally honest and it was the reason I got my career on top.

Hindi gaya ng iba na naging honest sila kaya sila bumagsak. That's their problem for being a two-faced b-itch lalo na kung sanay na ang mga tao sa pagbabait-baitan nila. One mistake, your career is done.

Kanina problema ko ang damit na susuotin but after shopping with my girls and the guys, si Aramis naman ang naging problema ko. He was really into the thought of becoming my pretend boyfriend and I have reasons kung bakit ayoko na sya idamay. One for a very personal reason na hindi ko kayang sabihin ng harapan sa kanya at kahit kanino. Two, baka ma-Gregzoned ulit ako and lastly, all of the women in this industry would be falling for his charms and f-uck, even if he's not my boyfriend, I know that I wouldn't like that to happen.

I don't want it to happen.

Knowing Aramis for being a gentleman, posibleng hindi nya magawang i-turn down yung mga babaeng improkita na iyon.

Why do I sound like a jealous f-ucking girlfriend? Weird.

On the other hand, gusto ko rin yung thought for one particular reason, I want to claim him as mine. Ako ang nauna kaya dapat ako lang. Akin lang. Tama naman di ba?

I heaved out a heavy sigh. Battling with myself is much harder than having an argument with someone. I need to stop this and make a decision already.

"Why the hell are you fidgeting?" sita ni Max sakin looking through the rear view mirror and making me go out of my thoughts.

"Nininerbyos ka ba? Pero you've never been nervous on a press conference before!" Sam added na nakaupo naman sa shotgun seat.

I shook my head on their inquiries. "I'm not. I was just thinking kung mumurahin ko ba si Zoe on cam or I'll dare her na harapin ako instead." I plainly replied.

My best friends looked at each other at para silang nagkasundo sa tinginan na iyon. And in unison they said, "Both. Definitely both."

I couldn't help but smile on their retort. I knew it.

"Kaya mo iyon?" biglang tanong naman ni Axl sakin.

"Ang alin?"

"Magmura sa harap ng media?" inosenteng sabi nito.

"Hindi ba't pwede mong ikasira ang ganung bagay?" dagdag pa ni Yves.

I smirked upon the questions while Sam and Max laughed really hard. It earned confusion from the guys part because they obviously didn't expect our reaction.

"Hindi nyo pa nga ganun kakilala si Ashinyah. To answer your question, it's a big yes. Kayang kaya nya iyon and this won't be the first time. Kahit pa gawin nya paulit ulit iyon, opportunities would still come her way simply because, she's Ashinyah Montenegro." Samantha filled in.
