San Francisco

Chapter 1

"Kath, are you okay?" my on-screen partner...and boyfriend asked.

I smiled and gave him a nod. "Oo naman," I assured him.

He pouted. "Eh bakit parang hindi naman? Wala ka ba sa mood? Gutom ka ba? O baka nagtatampo ka sa 'kin. May nagawa ba 'kong mali?"

I can't help but smile widely. This is what I like about DJ. He may look like a bad boy or a heartbreaker but once you know him, you'll be surprise how caring and sweet he is.

I cupped his face. "I'm okay, Deej. Medyo pagod lang ako," sabi ko at buti nalang ay 'di niya na ako kinulit pa. He just contented himself by hugging me from behind.

Actually, I'm not really tired. I was busy thinking about my vacation last month. Yes, alam kong sobrang late na para mag-throwback but I can't help it. Those were the best days of my life. Even better than the days I had with DJ.

I don't know. Maybe kasi marami akong nagawang first time. At iba 'yong kasama ko, hindi si DJ. It's a vacation full of adventures and fun! I swear I'd never forget that two weeks vacation I had.

"Yehey!" everyone cheered after the directors' announcement.

They're giving us two weeks vacation before we start shooting for DJ and I's newest teleserye; the remake of Pangako Sa'yo.

"Kath, DJ, enjoyin niyo na ang nalalabi niyong oras!" one of the staff joked and everyone laughed.

Tama naman ito. Dapat namin talagang i-enjoy ang two weeks na ibinigay sa amin dahil ito na marahil ang kahuli-hulihang matinong bakasyon na makukuha namin bago muling sumabak sa kamera.

"Wala. Itutulog nalang namin 'to ni Kathryn!" Daniel said and we laughed.

I kinda felt disappointed. DJ has no plans?

"Oh, siya. Sige na. Simulan niyo na 'yan ngayon! Magsiuwi na kayo!" Direk Rory Quintos said.

After many goodbyes and groufies, we finally had the chance to get out from the restaurant. DJ opened Gino for me and ran around, going to the driver's seat.

He started the engine and said, "Buti nalang napaalam kita kay Tita Min," he chuckled. "Bal, simulan mo na matulog ha. Para advance bawi sa susunod na mga sleepless nights natin," he joked but I didn't laugh.

"Deej. . ." I called.

"Hmm?"

Inisip ko ang sasabihin ko saka huminga ng malalim. "Don't you have any plans?" I asked.

Lumingon siya sa akin saglit saka ibinalik ang tingin sa daan. Buti nalang at wala ng traffic dahil madaling araw na. Kanina ay tinapos lang namin 'yong pictorial tsaka trailer ng PSY.

"Plano para sa'n, bal? Para sa bakasyon o para sa 'tin?" tanong niya.

I ignored his sweetness and replied, "Para sa bakasyon."

He stayed silent for a moment before answering, "Wala, eh. Siguro jamming lang kasama sila JC. O kaya bonding kasama sina Mama. O kaya sina Papa. O baka—"

"You don't have any plans with me?" I asked while looking directly at him.

He chuckled. "Syempre meron. Plano kong magpakasal sa'yo, magkaanak—"

"DJ," I warned him. He looked at me and I was shocked when he stopped the car.

"Deej, ano ba—"

"Sabihin mo nga, Kathryn. Saan ba patungo 'tong usapan natin?" he asked.

I glared at him. "Ewan ko! Ewan ko, Daniel! Ewan ko!" I can't help but yell.
