Nakarating kami sa London ay umaga na. Tumigil kami sa isang ten-storey hotel. Dito kami mag-iistay for what? Four days or five maybe? Pero bakit kaya ganon katagal? Niyaya ako ni Dad na mag-breakfast. Sobrang nabusog ako dahil ang dami kong nakain. Excited na akong makita si Shawn Mendes! Which is, later this afternoon. Naglibot-libot lang ako sa streets at bumili ng kung ano-ano. With Sandor following me wherever I go, no one is harassing me. They politely ask if they could take a picture a with me. And I let them.
"Hi, Miss Allison!" The two girls said in chorus as they greeted me.
"Oh, hello girls! What's your name?" tanong ko sa kanila habang nakayuko ako at niyakap sila.
"I'm Ally and this is my sister, Rara." They introduced.
Ilang minuto kaming nag-usap at nagpaalam na rin ako. Humingi ako ng sorry sa mga taong hindi nakapag-picture. Naintindihan naman nila. Bumalik na kami sa hotel. Nagbihis na ako. Isinuot ko ang Body Con dress kong kulay blue at iniligay ko ang paa ko sa loob ng itim na pumps. Tinawagan na ako ni Daddy na bumaba na para ma-meet na talaga si Shawn Mendes. This is it, Allison. Don't blow this up.
I had Sandor with me when I got downstairs. I was told to go in this particular room where Shawn Mendes prepares. I opened the door and I was starstruck by this angelic face in front of me. He was all smiling and I was there standing----looking like an idiot. Chills spread all over my body. My heart was beating so loud and faster.
"Hi, Allison." He greeted me.
"H-hi. Nice to f-finally meet you." Nahihiya kong sabi. God! He's so handsome.
"Me, too. I heard you sing my songs on youtube before. That was so awesome! You can even sing my songs better than me." Puri niya.
"O-oh! Thanks." I said.
Niyaya niya akong mag-coffee sa lobby. Pag-uusapan siguro namin yung mangyayari mamaya. I wonder what we'll sing later. He ordered for me.
"So uh, we'll perform one of my songs later. Is that okay?" He asked as I sipped from my coffee.
"Of course. What will we sing, again?" Tanong ko naman.
"Lost In Japan." maikling sagot niya habang nakangiti.
Ilang oras kaming nag-usap at habang tumatagal ay hindi na ako nauutal at nahihiya. He got this vibe that I enjoy so much! He's so nice! An angel inside and out! Maraming kaming napag-usapan---mostly, tungkol sa kanya. Malapit na mag-five kaya naman bumalik na kami sa room niya kung saan dun siya maghahanda para sa performance namin mamaya. Nandun ang mga managers at mga make-up artists niya. Sana make-up artist na lang ako niya. Hahaha. Alam ni Shawn na fan niya ako at alam niya din na may gusto ako sa ibang lalaki. And he knows it's Chase. Madami din naman akong nalaman sa kanya. He seems nice. No, he's nice and so friendly so I didn't hesitate to tell him what my life is right now. He gave me some advices. I think I'll hold on to that.
