Faye's POV
Papunta na kami ni Jerome sa kotse niya sa may parking lot ng restaurant ng may humarang na babae sa min.
Kakatapos lang namin mag-dinner.
'Hi!' Sabi ng babae habang nakangiti ng maluwang kay Jerome. Ni hindi man lang ako tinapunan ng tingin.
The girl is queit beautiful. She has a wavy brunette hair, a pair of long legs any man could die for, huge eyes which totally suits the features of her face. Para nga siyang barbie eh. She's slim but sexy. And she really got the height of a model.
'Ahm, your J-Em, right? J-Em Alvaro?' She asked, directly to her point.
I raised my brow knowing completely that she's not looking at me.
'Excuse me? What are you talking about miss?' Balik-tanong ni Jerome dito.
I guess that's his way of hiding his real identity.
'Oh! Don't deny it! I know it’s you! I saw you inside the resto kaso nahiya akong lapitan ka. But I'm pretty sure that you are J-Em.' She beams at Jerome habang nangingislap pa ang mga mata niya.
'I- I really don't know what you're talking about miss. I don't even know who's that J-Em is.'
His expression was relaxed. But I sense tense in his voice.
He throws a short glance at me.
‘ I couldn’t be mistaken! It’s you! I know it’s you!' The girl insisted.
Hhmmm... She’s kinda irritating. Maldita pa.
I remain silent as I watch how Jerome would handle the situation.
Where is the security team he's talking about a while ago? Why they still didn't show up?
'Miss, your mistaken. Hindi ako ang J-Em na tinutukoy mo.' He said, exasperation and irritation was pretty obvious in his voice.
'No. I'm a hundred percent sure na ikaw si J-Em.' She folds her arms infront of her.
Jerome sighs. He looks so hopeless. Mukhang hindi siya sanay maki-deal sa mga makukulit na fans.
Kung normal na pagkakataon lang ito ay tinawanan ko na siya. Kaso hindi.
He's helpless..... or not. I am here. With him. So I must do something to help him out of his misery with his fangirl.
I look up at him then to the girl.
Then I caugh, getting both their attention.
Finally the girl glances at me. At para bang noon lamang niya na-realize na andun pala ako.
I look at her bravely, raising a brow and composing myself. I step closer to Jerome and grabs his hand, taking him by surprised.
'My husband is right miss. He's not the J-Em you’re talking about. We don't even know who the hell that guy is! And for your information, he's Jerome Navarro, 'My Husband', and you’re looking at him like a hungry predator. But I'm telling you, better back off before I call the cops. Pauwi na kami and you’re disturbing our precious time together, and as well as blocking our way.' Tuloy-tuloy na litanya ko.
Mukha namang napahiya yung babae at napayuko.
Si Jerome naman hindi umiimik. But I can feel that he's looking at me.
'Oh. Sorry. I thought.... a-akala ko kasi...' she stops. Unable to find the right words to say.
'Well, sorry to disappoint you miss, but my husband is not the J-Em you're talking about.' Dag-dag ko pa.
