Hindi mapakali si Gregory habang nakaupo siya sa couch at hinihintay na lumabas si Diana, she was fitting some dress. Madalas ay iyon ang ginagawa nila pag magkasama sila. He accompany her in her habits then they will eat in a fancy restaurant. Tinignan niya ang phone niya,pero wala pa ding reply si Francesca. She was supposed to reply.Kaninang umaga pa niya iyon sinend, pero bakit hindi padin ito nagrereply? Imposible naman na tulog pa ito. It was one in the afternoon already.
Tinitigan niya ang phone niya kaya hindi niya namamalayan na nasa harap na pala niya si Diana.
Gregory!What the heck is wrong with you? I was standing here for a minute calling your name. do I really need to compete with that phone?Irritation was written all over Diana's pretty face.
No sweetie. I was just waiting for a call. Palusot na lang niya. You look good on that dress. Nilapitan niya ito at hinaplos ang mukha. But there was a strange feeling inside him. At hindi niya maipaliwanag kung ano iyon.
Fine.Nagdabog na pumasok ulit ito sa fitting room. Kaya napaupo na lang ulit siya sa couch. Ano ba kasi ang nangyayari sakanya?
Actually kanina pa siya ganun. He can't give his full attention to Diana.Because half of him was thinking about Francesca. And what frustrateS him the most is that thinking about what she was doing right this moment. Gusto niyang imessage ito pero may pumipigil naman sakanya.
Pagkatapos nila sa boutique na iyon ay lumipat naman sila sa kabila para bumili ng sapatos ni Diana. Mabuti na lang at hindi na ito naiinis sakanya.He was really trying his best to be sweet on her. While looking at those shoes, he was wondering if what was Francesca's size. Ano nanaman ba ang iniisip niya?
He tried to focus on Diana and help her in everything she do. Habang nagkukwento ito ay nakikinig lang siya, hindi niya alam kung ano ang ikukuwento niya dito. At hindi din niya masabi ang gusto niyang sabihin dito. After their dinner ay hinatid niya ito sa tinutuluyan nitong hotel. Kung dati ay gusto niyang pumasok pa doon ay parang gusto na lang niyang bumalik sa hotel na tinutuluyan nila ni Francesca. Pero pinagbigyan niya pa din ang nobya, dahil baka magduda na ito sakanya.
Pagkapaso knila ay hinalikan siya ni Diana. He was shocked that he can't respond at first. Pero nang magtagal ay hinalikan na din niya ito,but it was just a kiss for him. Wala na siyang nararamdaman. When she was about to remove his coat, he hold her shoulders and look at her.
Baby no. Not now. I know your tired and I want you to rest. Nginitian niya ito at hinalikan sa pisngi.
Tinanggal nito ang kamay niyang nakahawak dito at tinalikuran siya.
Is there someone else? kumuha ito ng alak at naglagay sa baso nito saka ininom iyon ng minsanan.
What?Tanong niya dito kahit alam naman niya talaga ang tinutukoy nito.
Don't play me Greg! I know you! And I know that there is something wrong!When I was with you awhile back, I never felt your presence though you tried so hard to be with me mentally. What the heck is wrong?!Napaiyak na ito at lumapit sakanya. She was being emotional. Hinawakan nito ang pisngi niya. You're not the Gregory that I knew anymore. Do you still love me?
Naawana siya dito. This was the second time he saw her breakdown that way,first was when she wasn't able to audition for the Swan Lake BalletRole.
No.of course I love you. Niyakap niya ito, he knew that Diana was a weak woman.
I love you so much Greg. I love you... so please just be mine. Mahigpit ang ginawang pagyakap nito sakanya. I can't afford to lose you. Kaya niyakap niya din ito.
