Perfect Together

Chapter 5: Peace Offering

       "Jerome, would you do something  about this?" Nakapamewang na ipinakita ni Cora kay Jerome ang newspaper kung saan headline sila ni Tanner.

       "Wow! Ang ganda ng kuha nyong dalawa dyan ni Tanner ha. Sa party yan di ba?" Jerome.

      "Painosente lang, Jerome? Obviously sa party yan noh! And i dont understand kung bakit nila kame ginagawan ng issue. We are models hindi kame celebrity." Iritableng pabagsak na naupo sa sofa si Cora.

      "You have to get use to it. Nasa Pilipinas tayo. And the press find you and Tanner a hot item. Publicity yan kaya hayaan mo na." Jerome.

      "But we are not an item. We are not together." Cora.

     "You dont have to pretend o admit it naman di ba? Let it be. Mawawala din yan." Jerome.

     "Relax ka lang porket hindi ikaw ang nasa dyaryo." Cora.

     "C'mon, Cora dont make it a big deal. Di ba may lakad kayo ng mga pinsan mo?" Jerome.

     "Iniiba mo ang usapan eh." Cora.

     "Ayaw lang kitang mastress. Sige na umalis ka na and enjoy with your cousins." Pagtataboy sakanya ni Jerome.

     "Kapag itong mga write ups na  to about us tumagal you have to do something okay?" Cora.

      "Okay. For now go and relax." Pinagtulakan na ni Jerome si Cora palabas ng pintuan.

      "Fine." Cora.

      "Idea?" Napakunot ang noong tanong ni Tanner kay Kisses.
