Second Chance

Chapter 2

B

" Come on, Dude. You'll get married in less than 5 months! Bakit parang mas excited pa kaming mga kaibigan mo kesa sayo?" My bestfriend Kianna asked.

" Shit Dude, don't tell me you're having cold feet ha?" Mich said.

We were playing volleyball with the other girls. Kianna, Mich and I against Jia, EJ, Diana

" Cold feet? Gago hindi. I'm just too stressed with work, yun lang un" I said as I wipe the sweats off my face.

" I'm beyond excited okay? Talagang natatambakan ako ng photoshoots ngayon since Jho wanted me to be very hands on with the wedding preparations too"

" hahaha. In other words Dude, Jho wanted you to choose her over your work. Yun lang yon." sabat naman ni Diana

" The real question is, Can Bea give up her dreams over Jhoanna?" EJ butted in and they all laughed.

" Biatches. Of course I'll choose her over my job. She's my happiness. Why would I want to lose her just because I cant leave my work right? And besides I've already talked to my clients about it and they agree that Kianna would take over for the meantime and I don't have a choice even Tito Joe wanted me to be hands on for the preparation"

" Anything for the old man's youngest daughter huh?" Jia said and I nodded at her and they all laughed and ruffed my hair.

" You'll survive this Bei-Bei!" They said in union.

I went home after our game to take a bath. It's 9:30 and I have 30 minutes to prepare before I pick Jho up so that we can meet the caterers for the food tasting. I took a bath, get dressed and put on my shoes in under 20 minutes. I immediately ran back to my car and drove out of the village to pick my fianceé up.

I turn the radio on and timing when a familiar song was playing, I smirk when I heard the lyrics and couldn't help myself to sing along with it.

" Baby please don't go
If I wake up tomorrow, will you still be here?

I don't know, if you feel the way I do

If you leave I'm going to find you

Baby please don't go, go, go, go

Baby please don't go, go, go, go

Baby please don't go, go, go, go

Baby please don't, baby please don't" I chuckle when I realized that I still know the lyrics by heart, This song was a hit way back when I still in college and I was a senior already, I shake my head and tapped my fingers on the steering wheel along with the beat as I make my way to Jho's house in Pasig.

" Tita Bea!" I heard Jho's nephew yelled when he saw me entered their house.

" Hi Luke. Where's your Ninang?" I asked.

" She's upstairs po with Mommy, Tita can you play with me? Please?"

" Bea cant play with you Luke. May kailangan kameng puntahan ngayong araw" I heard Jho and I looked up and saw her walking down with her older sister Ate Alyssa.

" Hi Babe!" She greeted me and gave me a peck on the lips.

" Hey Babe." I greeted back

" Hi Ate Ly."

" Hi Bei, Looking good ah" Ate Alyssa teased and even winked at me. Natawa naman ako saka napailing sa kanya.

"Oh sige na. You two should go at baka malate kayo sa food tasting niyo, Dad will be there too." She said and quickly kissed us goodbye. I did my handshake with Luke and after that I ruffled his hair before Jho and I went out.
