My Saucy Girl

Most of the next chapters will be in Maine's Point of View. I hope it's okay with you..

Maine's

Before I click the post button of the picture that has my typewritten Open letter, I made sure that whatever I will do, I'm responsible for the outcome. I know there's no turning back.

Once I clicked it, I did not bother re-reading it. I wrote it the way I wanted to convey my message to my fans and especially Josh. Ayoko ng magpaasa ng mga tao only to frustrate them in the end. Might as well drop the bomb now than wait till more casualties emerge.  I'm also fed up  with the management's insistence na palabasing may relasyon kami kahit naman from the start, I made it clear that I don't like the man. And never would I like him. Kaya lang malakas siya sa taas kaya nasunod ang gusto niya. I did not comment though on any issues regarding our relationship dahil I believe na the best way to deny the issue is to keep my mouth shut. Pero overboard na talaga ang Josh na yun and he should learn his lesson for messing up with me. I felt freedom, instead of fear when I posted that Open Letter. To hell with the management. Let them handle the outburst of the fans tutal sila naman ang may gusto niyan kaya ko nagawa iyon OL. Not me. And never will be me.

"Pat, I need to have an interview about this." Sabi ko kay Pat.

"Dapat lang. Ischedule ko kay Kuya Butch."

"Good. I know na may ilang di naniniwala dahil it was only posted in social media. Mabuti siguro kung personal kong sasabihin at babasahin ang Open Letter na yun."

"Tama. About the management, nagpatawag sila ng emergency meeting. And Josh, ayun nowhere in sight. Malamang napahiya na. Ewan ko na lang kung makakalabas pa siya dahil sa kahihiyan. Serves him right. Masyadong mayabang."  Nangiti ako kay Patty.

"Balitaan mo ako Pat. And make sure yun interview is not known sa management. Uunahan ko silang maglabas ng statement then after that, I'm off to hiatus."

"Sure my dear. Anything for you. So get ready. Have to go, I'll do my assignment as soon as possible." Tumayo na si Pat at niyakap ko siya.

"Mag-ingat ka girl." Iyon lang at inihatid ko na siya sa pinto.

Pagbalik ko, RJ was sitting on the couch looking at me.

"Babe, are you sure about it?"

"Never been so sure."

"Good. So maybe we should celebrate."

"Saan naman?"

"Somewhere they won't know."

"I like that baby. But I guess that would have to wait. It's to early for that. But we can go sa Manila Bay." Yumakap ako sa kanya. It's been like this since we came back from Palawan. Lumalabas kami pero discreet. As in total disguise. Buti na lang magaling akong magtago. And besides, malayo ako sa itsurang artista sa kapal ng salamin ko sa mata.

Today is my Interview.

We chose RJ's restaurant. He reserved one private room for us. Kumpleto kami, si Patty as my manager and my Lawyer, Atty. Magdalena Esmeralda.
We have discussed already na igigiit sa management na I was forced to cooperate sa kalokohan ni Josh and ng kanyang manager and whoever is behind him. Igigiit din ng abogado ko na wala sa kontrata na nakasaad na pwede akong pilitin na magkaroon ng boyfriend na labag sa kalooban ko for the purpose of my stardom or anybody's.

"Just tell the truth Maine." Sabi ni Atty. Esmeralda.

"I will."

"Kaya mo yan Maine." Si Pat.
