The Archer's Curse

37

After the meeting, Ax and I immediately rushed out of the hospital. Hindi na nga namin hinintay yung mga sundo namin dahil baka matagalan pa at malelate na kami sa guesting. I tried retouching my make up in the car but I would just fail kaya tinigilan ko na.

When we arrived, our managers are already there at pina-ayusan na nila kami ulit. They made me wear a white one shoulder sleeveless crop top and white skinny jeans paired with stilettos in the same color.

They fixed my wavy hair and added some gold colored designer clips and even made me wear a choker. I don't usually wear my necklace and ring on broadcasts, he might see it.

I cursed under my breath when I thought of him again. I hate myself because of that. I tried doing different things so that I can forget him but I just can't. My fucking mind is fucking annoying that I can't even fucking forget him.

There are times that suddenly, I just miss him again.

I would suddenly cry that irritates the hell out of me. He's doing good with his life, I guess. I never unfollowed him pero simula noong naghiwalay kami, he never posted anything or even use his social media accounts. Kahit sa group chat namin ay hindi siya nag siseen.

That's unfair that he can live his life like nothing happened but I'm still stuck in this same ground. I'm furious with what they did to me but just like what Caleb said, I need to set myself free from the pain but I can't. Maybe he thought about my feelings too kaya umalis sila ng bansa, well if that's the case then I should be thankful.

Fuck it, why am I even thinking about him?!

I rolled my eyes as I saw my deep collarbones being highlighted, it's totally exposed but through the years, I became comfortable wearing little clothes. A staff suddenly went in and told us to be ready kaya naman tumayo na ako at lumapit kay Ax.

"Nakakapagod parang ang sarap ng alak" he whispered kaya napatawa ako.

"G ako" I said before the camera welcomed us and I had to flash a stunning smile while holding to Ax's arm.

"Wow, what a gorgeous love team we have here, visuals everyone.. the freaking visuals!" Mike announced that made the audience went wild, he's the host.

"Small thing, Mike" Ax kidded and everyone laughed including Mike.

Umupo kami at agad na natawa ng magsimulang mag-flash ang larawan na kuha sa last movie namin. I laughed seeing my bored look because that was filmed months ago, noong hindi pa ako bumabalik sa dati.

"So Cali, everyone said it was hard to get a reaction from you.. Why is that?" Mike asked.

I chuckled and nodded at him. "I'm an actress Mike, we are paid for our emotions.. I don't give it for free" I proudly said.

He laughed and clapped both his hands because of my answer. Ax even smiled because of it. Mike loved my guts and so is everyone.

"So, kayo na ba?" nagka-tinginan kami ni Ax at sabay na napa-tawa.

The thought of being with someone else than Jax is just absurd for me. I can't even entertain those international models and actors who tried hitting on me.

It was just, always him.

I wanted to forget about him but it was really hard. It's hard to forget someone who gave you s much to remember. You will just wake up one day, you're back in square one again.

"This Queen don't need a King, that I'm sure" Ax said and everyone laughed again.

Maybe because I'm afraid, I don't wanna go through the same pain again. Kaya palagi kong sinasabi na I don't need a man in my life to make me happy.
