- I left denice & jia hanging there at the previous chapter -
---
- end of flashback -
Denise: so with you being the new team captain of the ateneo lady eagles and also the team's play maker, who do you think would you transform to be the next phenom?
Jia: I don't think i'll actually be able to transform them as a phenom like i'm just doing my game as a play maker you know but for sure the crowd will be anticipating the games that i'll be playing to Jho because even before she has already been dubbed as the next Alyssa Valdez. She'll be my go-to spiker but with a deep bench with this season, for sure plays will be distributed depending on the other team's defense.
Denise: With that said, I also have Jho with me here. Do you also feel nervous and pressured with what ateneo fans are asking from you which is to be the next Alyssa Valdez?
Jho: I feel pressured living up to their expectations like I've been hearing it so many times already but I know in myself that I wouldn't be able to level up to being the next phenom because we may have the same style of spikes but their would always be something different and maybe I can use it as an motivation to do even better and to deliver even more for the team
Denise: So to wrap up this interview, any words to your fans for the upcoming season?
Jia: A new season and an even deeper bench so you'll be able to expect this team to be much more stronger and competitive. Hope to see you cheering the team on at our upcoming games.
Denise: There you have it, Jia Morado and Jhoana Maraguinot of the Ateneo Lady Eagles. Catch their first game on opening weekend on February 4 versus the Ust Golden Tigresses.
Their interview just ended and a photo op was done before Jho and Jia head to their dressing room to change before leaving. As they head to their room, Jho is there looking at her phone and wondering why she's not receiving any messages from Bea. She knows that she's also in a another shoot with Ate Den for her new online show but no sign of Bea De Leon since this morning when she rode with Jia to the shoot till the shoot ended which is around 1pm now.
Jia: Finally done with the last shoot. When we get home, a quick rest then training. I am so done. You feeling me Jho?
She said upon slumping down on the coach that's in their dressing room. Jho's seated on a makeup chair looking quite preoccupied to hear what Jia has been ranting. She then caught herself staring at Jia whose now completely passed out on the couch which she was quite thankful for because she won't end up being bugged by Jia on what's keeping her busy but after staring at a knocked out Jia for a few minutes she too felt the need to sleep so she decided to join her but she's just there on the makeup chair.
Three soft knocks can be heard in their room but nobody bothered to open because both of them are currently in deep slumber. The person then went in after not hearing any response that their busy
Bea: Hi J--
Bea had to resist the urge to laugh because all she could see upon opening the door is her teammates looking all drained from the shoot because they had to wake up very early for it & just thinking about the training right after makes them just want to ditch everything & spend countless hours on the bed
She's just there by the door thinking of who to approach first. To Jia whose so busy nowadays taking care of the team or Jho who fell asleep waiting for a text from her? She decided on approaching Jho because she felt that if she doesn't talk to her now then world war 3 might just happen.
Bea: Jho?
She says oh so slowly while patting her on the shoulder while trying to remain calm
Jho: I am busy....... sleeping // pls wake us up after an hour or two
She said while on a sleepy drunk voice. Bea didn't know what to do but try to wake her up for the second time around
Bea: Jho wake up
Jho: Bea why are you here?
Bea: I wanted to see you and I was hoping that we could go out before training but seeing that your tired maybe we can just rest at the dorm
Jho: Why didn't you text me the whole day?
Bea: I wanted to surprise you by visiting & the shoots didn't have much breaks
Jho: Jia is there all passed out and I just can't leave her here
Bea: We can wait for her to wake up but then we might run out of time to go out so we can just go out some other time
Jho: No *yawns* Bea I'd like to go out with you. I'll take care of Jia
Jho stood up from the chair and made her way to Jia while half asleep. She wakes her up by gently shaking her
Jho: Jia wake up, Bea's here
Jia: huh?
Jho: Bea made her way here because she wanted to fetch me so that we could go out but I couldn't leave you here
Jia: Bea? Aren't you tired Jho, we have training later
Jho: I can sleep in the car on the way to the mall. I can manage
Jia: Do take note that I won't be going easy on any of you later
Jho: Yeah let's go now so that you'll have time to properly rest in the dorm. Bea said the other girls are already back
They made their way out of the shoot location. Jia left first followed by Bea whose with Jho on her car.
Bea: Jho I got you something its in the back seat
Curious as to what it is, Jho started fumbling around the things that are at the back
Jho: Wait is it the sunflower?
Bea: A long stemmed sunflower for you
Jho: What's this for?
Bea: I figured you'll be mad at me for not texting so I wanted to make up for it
Jho: You asking me out already is enough but thanks for the flower, I love it
Bea: Your welcome! Hey you said you'll be sleeping, lay your seat flat so that you could rest already. I'll just wake up when were already there
Jho: How about you, aren't you tired?
Bea: Being with you already makes me feel energized
Jho: *chuckles* fine, wake me up when we get there okay?
Bea nodded and went back to focus on her drive while Jho is quickly passed out on her seat. With what's happening between them, its comfortable and casual
