2 weeks passed and I'm stuck with being Sky's assistant. Di talaga ako makakalusot kapag si Mom na ang nagagawa na ng desisyon.

"Alexa, kunin mo nga yong mga gamit ko for pictorial, baka naipit lang doon ang script ko sa endorsement ng agency." He said, as usual cold parin siya saken.

"Ano ka sinusuwerte?" I said and rolled my eyes. Nanatili lang akong naka-upo aa couch ng pictorial room nila.

Tinignan niya ako ng masama. "What if I'll call Tita Maha." He said and got his phone out from his pocket.

"Fine! Just hold on. Kung nandito lang talaga papa ko!" I said silently.

"Tito Gabz will never be mad at me, I'm cool with him, you know." He laughed. Bakit ba palagi nalang niya akong pinag-tritripan? Hay bahala na nga!

My mom just asked me to be Skyler's assistant for two months, tapos babalik na daw yan sa NY. Buti nalang, mag-ri-risk pa talaga ang studies ko.

I sigh, kinuha ko naman ang ipinapakuha niya saken at agad itong ibinigay.

"Ito na po, Sir Skyler." idiniin ko ang salitang sir at kinuha ang phone at tinawagan nalang si Mads. Buti nalang wala kaming pasok ngayon dahil holiday.

"Sissy! I'm glad you called." Mads said. Halatang nabo-bore narin si Mads, di na kasi kami nakapag-bonding ng dahil sa Skyler na yan. Paano ba naman kasi right after ng classes namin kelangan ko pa siyang puntahan.

"I'm hella bored here, sissy. What's the news?" I said habang umu-upo aa couch at nag number 4.

I heard her chuckle. "Nothing, do you still remember Lance?" She started talking.

"Yes, sort of. Lance, your first everything?" I asked. Lance Monteclaro was her first love, and definitely her first heartache.

"Oo siya nga. Kasi bumalik na sila dito sa Pinas and they're throwing a welcome back party bukas." She seems excited, paano ba naman kasi first love eh tapos matagal-tagal narin yung last nilang pagkikita.

"Please sissy, samahan mo naman ako!" Mads excitedly said.

I sigh. "I'll try sissy. Alam mo naman I'm somehow baby sitting someon-" Bigla nalang kinuha ni Sky ang phone ko. What the fuck?

"Hi, this is Skyler, and can I come also?" He asked. What the fuck? What has gotten him?

"Seriously, sky?" I paused and grabbed my phone back. "Have some manners, asshole." I continued.

"Sorry, sissy. I'll just text you up later. Nakakainis kasi tung si Sky, I'll hang-up." I said.

"Sure, talk to you later." Then I ended up the call.

"What the fuck, Skyler?" I eyed him. He just gave me a cold boring look.

"What? I need to party too. It's been a long." He paused. "Now, let's go get something to wear tomorrow." Then he pulled me inside his car and as usual I got nothing to do.

-

"You look uglier when you're angry." He coldly said habang nagmamaneho. Nakakainis naman tong lalaking to! Nakakasira ng araw!

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. "Shut up. Just drive me home!" I said na parang iiyak na. I could not take this anymore, really.

"Nah, I'm pretty sure you're aware what Tita Madz told you." He blockmailed ma again. Damn it!

Bigla nalang akong natahimik sa buong biyahe. Naalala ko naman bigla si Andrew. I have no news about him, ewan ko ba ng dumating si Sky nakalimutan ko na si Andrew.

"We're here." He said and went out the driver's seat. I was probably waiting for him to open the passenger's seat where I was sitting but he just knocked the window and signaled to come down. What a gentlemen!

I closed his door loudly. Akala niya! Nakakapikon na talaga tong lalaking to.

"Woah, slow down Alexa! you might break my baby's door." He said smirking at nagsimulang maglakad.

"Let's eat dinner first." there he goes again with his bossy voice. I sigh and had nothing to do about it.

"Please, not here." I said. He's taking me to Zeke's Italian Cuisine where Andrew took me before. I hated this place too much that I can't even take a look at the exact table we we're sitting before.

He looked at me. "Let's eat here, in order to move on, you must not avoid things that will help you remind him.." He managed to say and got us a table near the garden view. "So that you'll get used to it." He continued.

Tama naman si Sky. Bakit ba ang talino nito? Minsan, napatanong nalang ako sa sarili ko, was he inlove before? but the hell do I care.

"Thank you." I said as he got the seat open for me.

"My pleasure, so what would you like?" He said and handed my the other copy of menu.

-

"I guess, I'll take this black one." I said and showed the simple black gown to him na abalang-abala sa pagsu-suot ng mga necktie.

"Tch, that's way too revealing." He coldly said. Formal kasi ang theme ng party ni Lance, kaya required talaga na nakagown.

"Anong gusto mo'ng suoton ko ngayon? Pajama? Maria Clara?" I said and rolled my eyes then signaled the saleslady to get my dress to the cashier.

"Wear what you want, don't blame me if you'll get harassed." He said.

"I'm a daughter of a well-known model, Sky. And as her daughter I have to be following our fashion guidelines." I explained and handed them my card.

"I'm much aware." He said and signaled the saleslady to take his tuxedo and tie.

I rolled my eyes and went back to the cashier's attention. "Is there a problem?" I asked. Kanina pa kasi nila sina-swipe ang card.

"It's invalid, maam." The cashier said. Napacross naman ang kilay ko.

"Baka na wrong lang ng slide. Kakalagay ko lang ng savings ko ah." I explained and got my purse and handed them my different card. "Maybe this will work."

"Di talaga, maam." The cashier said worriedly. Napatingin naman ako kay Sky na kanina pa naiinip.

"I'll pay, here's my card." He said coldly and handed me his card.

Wala naman akong nasabi. I was wondering when Mom told me about she's gonna be holding my bank accounts not untill Skyler will come back to NYC.

Shit. Bakit ba ginagawa to ni mommy? Naglakad na kami pabalik sa parking lot.

"Thank you pala ah." I said habang binubuksan ang front seat. He headed along the driver's seat and started the engine.

"That's a debt, you gotta pay." He said. Napakawalanghiya talaga ng lalaking to!

"Ofcourse, I will pay." I said and rolled my eyes.
