Chapter 2

Rafael Gozon wants to add you as a friend

My eyebrow automatically arched upon seeing this notification. This guy surely knew how to move fast. It was only yesterday when we officially met, yet he's already adding me on facebook. I was uncertain if I'd feel honored or creeped out by his initiative.

"Hey," sabi ko nang makita ko si Jasper na nag-aabang na sa labas ng kwarto ko. I was seriously wondering if he's like sleeping outside my room! Kahit kasi ano'ng aga ng gising ko, nandyan agad siya sa labas.

Jasper was looking at me, not saying anything, but I knew he's listening. What's with military guys? He's... so dull.

"I have a question," sabi ko sa kanya. I was already expecting nothing from him, so I just continued with my query. "Up to what extent will you follow me?"

"I don't follow, Ma'am," he replied like the dull boy that he was.

"I mean, what if I have a date? Nandun ka rin?"

"Yes, but on the next table," he simply required.

"Seriously?"

His face was impassive. "Seriously, Ma'am."

"What if..." I trailed and I just looked at him and wiggled my eyebrows. Jasper's a guy—no matter how dull and boring he looked. And it's not as if I'd shag someone here in the Philippines! Wala na nga akong masyadong kilala dito maliban sa mga kamag-anak namin. I was just asking Jasper some questions dahil gusto kong malaman kung hanggang saan ba ako pinapabantayan nila Mama.

Tinignan lang ako ni Jasper. "You do what you want to do. I won't judge, Ma'am."

"Seriously?! Like if I were to shag someone, you'll be outside the door?!" gulat na sabi ko.

He nodded.

"Gross!" I exclaimed.

"It's not as if I'd enjoy listening, Ma'am," he offered as an explanation.

I stormed out dahil pakiramdam ko, bigla akong nadumihan dahil sa mga sinabi ni Jasper. I looked for my parents to raise hell because this felt like invasion of privacy! Did they seriously instruct Jasper to follow me every-freaking-where?!

"Tell Mom I'm going to talk to her when I come back!" sabi ko sa gulat na gulat na si Cohen nang makasalubong ko siya sa kusina. I went to my room and prepared dahil kailangan na pala ako sa rehearsals.

"Can you sit in front?" I asked Jasper dahil katabi ko siya sa backseat. I wanted to do some retouch with my make-up, but he's sitting too close. Umiling siya. I wanted to claw his face, but I calmed myself. 'Sandali na lang nasa venue na kami,' I kept on reminding myself.

Pagdating namin sa venue, agad akong bumaba. Ako pa rin ang may dala ng gamit ko, because seriously? What do I even expect from Jasper? He's like a bratty bodyguard! Ako pa ang nag-a-adjust.

"Good morning," Rafa greeted upon seeing me.

"Morning," I replied.

I knew Rafa's kind. He's one of those guys who's used to getting what they want—who they want. And the key to getting someone like him is to pretend that you don't care about his existence. It would drive him crazy.

"Do you prefer coffee or tea?" he asked while I was putting my things down.

"I'll head to the dressing area," I told him.

"No prob, I'll go for a coffee run."

"Aren't you needed for fitting?" tanong ko. I mean, I get that he's Rafa and he's already made a name for himself in the modeling world. But still, professionalism.
