Blurred Lines

Chapter 48

Bamboo's POV

I let Georgina go home by herself and this time i chose Lea cos i can't let her go with Ian. My blood is boiling wherever i see him, as if he always wanna steal my girl. She remained quiet the whole ride till we reach her house. She hurriedly went down and didn't wait for me to open the door for her.

"Babes, wait" as i double my pace to catch up with her.

She face me with a blank expression "What?"

"Coincidence lang yun pagkikita namin ni Georgina, nothing's going on"

"Okay" then turn her back and head to the door.

I was about to chase her when her phone beep. She almost drop her fone and saw tears from her eyes. I run to her side and comfort her the best way i can.

"What's wrong babe?" she handed me her phone and saw a short video of us having sex although our face were blurred but we know that it was us. "Who sent you this?"

"My manager, she said it was all over the news and asking if that's me. Where the hell did they get this? i am scared Bambs, it was shot in my bedroom.. can you understand? My bedroom!"

She covered her face and sat on the floor crying uncontrollably.

"Why is this happening? i need to get out of here" kinda out of her mind and panicking , pick up her phone and said something about booking her a flight to New York.

"You are leaving? why? are you leaving me?"

"I need to go. Away from all of this. Come with me babes. I'll go crazy from all of this shit!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can go but i won't.. I can't leave Georgina But this is the first time i saw her looking so helpless and broken and it somehow break me apart which i shouldn't feel. Remember that's what i wanted her to feel... hurt and miserable. I said i can't promise but i'll try. Of course none of those are true.

"Come with me pls. I need you!" she said on the way to the airport.

"i would love to be there for you but i can't. maymga nakaschedule na gig. I'm sure you don't want me to be unprofessional and cancel those."

She nodded and tried to smile "I understand babes"

I wipe her tear "I'll follow okay. Tapusin ko lang mga commitments ko then i'll be there right on your doorstep."

I saw her leave and i miss her already. Oh no, i can't. maybe i just miss playing with her.

The news was all over but youtube banned the video so no one can watch it anymore. There are speculations that it was me and Lea but there's no proof. I keep my mouth shut telling the press that whether i admit it or not, there'll always be an issue and it won't die and if ever that is us then she's my fiance already, pwede naman nauna lang ang honeymoon. Joking about that to lessen the tension.

"How is she na kaya? she always trying to call me but i don't always answer especially if i'm with Georgina, mukha kasing nagseselos na siya kay Lea. She says pinapatagal ko alng daw para makasama ko pa si Lea and that i am taking her for granted. You know what, Georgina is the girl of my dreams, una pa lang kita ko sa kanya minahal ko na. Si Lea? the first time i saw her i felt intimidated. First time kong matorpe. If only i didn't have to pursue my plan, i wouldn't have the courage to get close to her. Kailangan ko mapalapit kaya kinapalan ko na mukha ko kahit na para akong lalamunin ng lupa. She's a smart ass, beautiful and brave. I just don't understand bakit sa may asawa pa. Totoo nga yata na pag sobrang talino daw, bobo sa love. Why am i even thinking of her.

Days had passed, i am always with Georgina. It felt good but i don't know cos it feels incomplete. She's too poise. too glamorous.. mas low maintenance pa nga si Lea kahit mas sikat siya. I was thinking maybe because Georgina is a model so she's use to dressing up. But Lea is a star, lagi din siya ayos and may make up artist and stylist but outside work she's normal, like every one else, napakasimple.

Lea's POV

I've been here to New York for 3 days already. I am just sitting on the swing and watching the kids play. It's relaxing. it keeps me grounded. New York has been my 2nd home. The city where my dreams came true. I left my phone in the apartment to keep me away from notifications tagging me to the video or pictures. I need some air. Not because we have an open book life doesn't mean you'll cross your boundaries and put everything out in social media. We have a private life that we need to keep private.

I was lost in oblivion when someone sat on the other swing beside me "Can i join you?"

"Rob? what are you doing here?"

"Sorry i was late ha. Di mo kais sinabi sakin na pupunta ka pala dito edi sana nakasabay na ako. The flights are full so it took me 3 days to process and to travel."

"What are you doing here?"

"Sinundan ka, kasi i know kelangan mo ako. sabi ko naman sayo, i am always here whenever you need me."

"How did you know that i'm here?"

"I went to your apartment pero wala ka. Wait for a couple of hours pero tagal mo e and i am freezing outside then i think hard on where will you possibly go and i know that you always go here when we're still young whenever you need a place to breathe and as expected i saw a very beautiful woman crying while on the swing. Life is like a swing it's calm when you're just sitting down and when it's not moving but as it lifted you high, you get scared thinking you might fall and get hurt... but what it teaches you is to just hold tight, never let go and enjoy the speed and the height. It might be scary to fall or to fail but it's worth giving a try, who knows you might soar and conquer your fear and make you stronger and braver.

"You know what? You always have this optimism in you. I admire you for that"

"I tried to be optimistic to always be happy but sometimes you have to let go of the people you love the most even if it hurt, even if it breaks your heart into million pieces and even if she push you away. Nandito pa rin ako, kahit masakit, kahit mahirap, makita lang kitang masaya.
