Loving The Famous

"I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting!"

I turned my gaze to Jesiah when she came out from the shower. She's looking fresh in her semi-wet hair, short shorts paired with red sweatshirt and her dancing shoes that she wore earlier. She had her duffel bag hanging in her left shoulder. I checked her out from head to toe and... yes. This girl is hot.

Jesiah's body has curve, nice butt, and well-formed breasts. Oh, and I can tell she has abs under her sweater. Buong pagsasayaw niya kanina ay nakatitig lang ako sa kanya kaya alam ko ang mga ito. She's smaller than me with few inches, which I don't mind. Her perfect black hair always sways every time she moves. I remembered how she tied it in a messy bun earlier. It's hot. It's like a perfect view for everyone and it's... oh, wait. Why am I saying all this? Why am I even checking her out?

You are because she's pretty, it's one of a kind.

Alright. That's true.

Sa mundo ko bilang artista at model, madami akong nakakasama at nakakatrabaho na magaganda. Sa araw-araw ng trabaho ko ay maraming naggagandahan at nagsesexyhan sa paligid ko. Pero ni minsan hindi ako nag-isip ng ganito sa kanila. I don't check on girls, to be clear. Hindi ko iyon gawain dahil sabi ng manager ko ay magsisimula lamang iyon ng insecurites sa katawan.

Pero bakit?

Bakit kay Jesiah, nagawa ko? Hindi naman out of insecurities ang naramdaman ko pero... iba. May kakaibang feeling na hindi ko malaman. Or maybe because she's nice and not like those bitches women in my world? I don't know. God, baka nga ganun lang?

Honestly, the first time we looked at each other in the eyes, at the coffee shop earlier, she already got my attention. Well, not because she's pretty or whatever but she's not like any other girls that panic whenever they see me. When she looked at me, she just shrugged me off and walk away which is pretty unusual. For a minute there, I thought she really didn't recognize me but when I introduced myself, she just laughed at it. I also considered that time she's maybe a hater of mine, but no, she's nice. She's really nice. I was amused. She got me.

I am twenty-six year old, lonely. Don't get it wrong, I love my job. Yes, I have everything. Fame, cars, fancy apartments, handsome boyfriend, supportive family... what else can I ask for?

Yet, meron nga ako lahat niyan pero bakit parang may kulang pa rin? Parang may hinahanap pa akong hindi ko makuha-kuha. Bakit lately parang sobra na ang lungkot ko. At isa pa 'yung si Tommy, ang boyfriend ko na lagi akong kinukontrol at madalas din naming pag-awayan. Ilang beses ko na siyang balak hiwalayan pero hindi ko magawa. Isa pang sabi ng manager kong baka makaapekto iyon sa career ko lalo't madaming nagkakagusto kay Tommy bilang boyfriend ko. Maghihintay na lang ako ng right moment para makipaghiwalay sa kanya.

"Jasmine? You okay?"

I blinked at Jesiah's call. Nasa harapan ko pa pala siyang naghihintay! "Oh, s-sorry! It's fine. I ah, actually just talked to my manager." I smiled at her and reveal myself since we're the only people left in the room.

She smiled back, sweetly that made my heart beats fast. Oh, this woman. She's so natural!

"Come on? I'm gonna treat you for dinner since you've waited me for so long."

"Oh, really? You will?"

"Yeah. I can't see why not?"

"Well, I am the one who tagged along, remember? I disturbed your night and now you're treating me? Why you're so nice, Jesiah?" I said giggling, remembering the time she insisted that I am wrong saying she's kind.
