Miss HOT and Mr. COLD

Chapter 24: We meet again

Days have passed after my date with Kuya. We are doing okay now.

Regarding Thamara the witch? Hmm medyo nasasanay na ako sa nakakairita niya presensya. Ganun talaga siya friends. Maarte and a brattinela pero hindi parin siya maganda. *evil laugh*

I have a photo shoot to attend today and Daniella can't accompany me because he is busy attending meetings on behalf of his father. As I can remember from our conversation last night, he said that Tito was forced to take a vacation leave because of his condition. The nature of his work is so stressful so he needs to take a break from it.

My photo shoot will be in Discovery Primea Hotel in Makati and what can I say? The place is superb!

So while am busy looking around the events place, I accidentally bumped into someone. I was bound to fell on the floor but that someone grabbed me by my waist and pulled me close to his body.

I slowly held my gaze up and our eyes meet. It just feels like my heart was in car racing; it's beating so fast.

"Craion."

I am stunned by the moment. I can't move an inch. This guy who is holding me at the moment occupied every space in my mind.

"Ehem." the photographer cleared her throat

That's the only time we parted from each other. When I looked at him, he's looking down. Wow! This is the first time I see him bow down his head.

"Good morning, Miss Barcelona. I am Faith. Your photographer for the day. So you've met the producer of this media event. He is Zim Craion For-" I interrupted her

"Fortalejo." she looks so surprised because of the reason I know this guy in front of me

I looked at him and he is looking at me... intently. I met his gaze and I return it with the same intensity but he turned away and left me without saying a word.

"He is still the same." I sighed in disbelief

I finished the photo shoot fast. I don't want to stay for so long knowing that Fortalejo produced this photo ops. I changed clothes and arranged my things. I didn't bother to fix my hair and make-up because I have a car with me and I think need to go to a club.

(ROYAL CLUB)

I ordered shots of cocktail drinks and feeling ko hindi ako tinatamaan. I ordered a few shots more with a higher alcohol content. And, that's when I felt the kick I'm looking for.

I get off from the couch and start dancing while holding a shot glass. I am lost with the music. I heard a glass broke but I didn't bother to look around. What made me came back to reality is a hard poke on my shoulder.

"YOU BTCH! LOOK AT MY DRESS! ARE YOU FCKING HIGH!?" a clown-looking girl said yelling at me

"Are you talking to me?" I asked innocently kasi wala naman akong matandaan na kilala ko siya

"Why you! Look! You spilled your drink on me! Argh!" siya na gigil na gigil parin

"My drink?" tumingin ako sa kamay ko at OMG! Wala yung baso at pagtingin ko sa lapag there it is... Broken like me.

"See! So what are you going to do now huh!?" I looked at her from head to foot scanning her

I move to her closely and ripped her dress with all my strength."Nice. That will do... Since I don't think that you need that dress. You're almost naked, dear. Thank me later" I insultingly said then smirk

"You crazy btch!" I'm waiting for a pull on my hair or slap on my face but nothing

Instead there is broad back blocked my view from the girl. Well someone intervened with my WW3 trip -_- boo hoo!

Pabagsak akong umupo at uminom muli. Masyadong boring dito sa couch. I need to dance!

When I'm about to get off from the couch, someone stood in front of me kaya dahan-dahan kong iniangat tingin ko and I was surprised by this meddling man.

I snapped out of my surprise and I can't help it but to smirk. This guy is following me.

"Following me 'til here, Fortalejo?" dahan-dahan akong tumayo para harapin siya

"Who said that I'm following you?" Abaaa!!! at sumasagot pa

"Then, what will a club-allergic person would be doing in a club?" I asked teasing him

"My foreign investors wants to go here, of course I'm oblige to go with them even if I don't like places like this." well on point naman siya

"Oh okay. Now, can you move 'cause I'm to dance." but nakipagpatintero lang siya sa akin

Ayaw ako padaanin ng panget na to! Arghhh

"EXCUSE ME, FORTALEJO! Dadaan ako!" this guy is unbelievable

"Go ahead! If you can pass through me." he said

"I'm not in the mood to play with you so please... move." I asked him surrendering all the strength that I have

"I'm sorry." that's the only time time he stepped away

Nilampasan ko siya and talaga naman na nagpakawild ako.

Naiinis ako! I hate this feeling! After the long time that I tried to brush away my feelings for him, still, andito parin! Daniella always knew about my true feelings yet andyan parin siya to be a rebound. I hate myself!

"Daniella Calling..."

"Hello?" I answered with heavy heart

"Prince! Where are you? Kanina pa tumatawag sa akin si Jk." he seems so worried

"I'm fine. Don't worry. Bye." then I ended the call

I don't know what has gotten into me. I became suddenly cold to the person who is always there for me. I hate myself. *with tears about to fall*

"You're still the girl I met in the board room of Gabriel Tower's." then I see the man I love

"Why are you here?" I asked him

I am still in the process of blaming myself for Daniella's burden then this man, started to move to my direction. He closed the gap between us when he hugged me.

"I know you hate me. For every pain I've put you through. I'm sorry. And right know, seeing you sad makes me blame myself more because I know I'm the reason for that sadness. I'm sorry... if only I can take it away." I can feel the sincerity with his words

I hugged him back and cried. I don't know what this man have done to make me feel this way. We've never been romantic before. We're like cats and dogs... But now, having him like this brings me comfort.

I'm sorry, Daniella. For hurting you...
