I woke up when I felt a hand touching on my forehead. Nang binuksan ko ang mga mata ko, feeling ko parang mahihimatay ako ulit. I stared at Rance as he sat on the side of my bed.
He smiled, " I was just checking if may lagnat ka." Shit ang boses niya, It's so disturbing but I like it. Why is he so perfect?
"Are you okay now?"
" Huh?"
Napatingin ako ng maigi sa kanya. Still absorbing the fact that he's here, right next to me. Grabe lang, totoo talaga to?
God he's handsome.
Nagulat naman siya but then he grinned after that, " Thanks." I cursed under my breath. So narinig niya pala yun.
Oh my god, Toni. Nakakahiya ka. You even collapsed nang makita mo siya! He might find out that you have Rance syndrome and he'll think it's creepy cause you went gaga over him! Way to go, Genius.
Nagkunwari namang umubo si Jill kaya napatingin kami sa kanya, " I'll just grab something to eat." Hindi na niya hinintay na magsalita kami. Diretso lang siyang lumabas sa kwarto ko – Leaving me and Rance alone.
Omg. Kami? Sa iisang kwarto? Anong gagawin namin?!
" Ay bastos!" Wala sa sarili kong sabi. Ay tanga! Baka iisipin niyang baliw ka.
He cocked his head, confused of my reaction.
" Are you okay? Baka kong ano-ano na ang iniisip mo diyan ah." He teased. Namula naman ako sa hiya. I can't believe that he's casually talking to me. Para bang matagal na kaming magkakilala. This is too good to be true.
Naiintindihan mo naman ako diba? Eh kong ikaw nga ang nasa posisyon ko, ano ba ang magiging reaksyon mo? Ang taong hinahangaan mo o iniidolo mo ay nasa harap mo na at kausap mo. Darn I just can't describe this feeling. He's a goddamn star and all of his fans would kill just to get this opportunity.
I cleared my throat, " W – Wala noh." I simply said. Ok Toni, it's time for you to talk normally. Don't make a fool out of yourself.
" H – How did you find me?" I managed to ask. Ano kaya ang kailangan niya?
He suddenly stood up and sat to the nearest chair, nakadekwatro pa. Ang gwapo niya talagang tingnan sa kahit anong anggulo.
Natigil ang kalandian ko nang magsalita siya, " I have my ways. And I really wanna talk to you." He paused then proceeded, "I'm pretty sure na alam mo na ang issue. Of course they'll make a big deal out of it kasi I've never kissed someone publicly before, not even once – Kahit fan pa yan. So obviously, you were the first." Nanatili parin akong tahimik. And he seemed to notice na ayaw kong magsalita so he continued.
