How To Love A Superstar?

Blue Roses

Eric's POV:

I wasn't able to go home straight after leaving Dale's apartment.

Para kong nakalutang. I can't think straight, I decided to pull over. I got out of my car, I walked a just a little and sat on a gutter. I rested my head on my hand.

Paige: "Sir Eric!"

I looked up and I saw that girl from the coffee shop.

Paige: "Tignan mo nga naman yung pagkakataon oh, nagkita tayo ulit, nagalala ako kasi hindi ka nagpunta sa coffee shop kanina e- bakit ka nandito nakaupo?"

I was just hearing her talk but couldn't comprehend a single word.

Paige: "Okay ka lang ba?"

Eric: "Nope. I'm not okay. Aren't you the one who have a crush on me?"

Paige: "Ah, eh, oo, buti naalala mo pa yung mga sinabi ko sayo-"

Eric: "May pupuntahan ka ba?"

Paige: "Wala naman, pauwi lang-"

Eric: "Do you want to get some drinks?"

Paige: "Drinks?"

Eric: "Don't worry, I'm not a rapist, not a bad person, I just, I just badly need a company right now, or baka may magawa akong pagsisihan ko-"

Paige: "Tulad ng ano?"

Eric: "Driving back to my girlfriend- I mean ex girlfriend's house, to take back everything that I said. Because just today I had to let go of the person I love the most"

I just started sobbing, in front of this stranger. She sat beside me and tapped me on my shoulder. I just allowed myself to feel everything. When she saw that I was a bit better again, she stood up and offered to help me stand.

Paige: " sige tara may alam akong lugar."

I drove us to the place where she said would be a good place to get drinks. And it was a small sari sari store.

Eric: "What are we doing here?"

Paige:"Magiinom, huwag ka mag alala okay dito, eto sila manang tinay 24/7 to, manang isang set po, pahiram din dalawang upuan at mesa."

Eric: "Is it even safe here?"

Paige: "Huh, ano yun?"

Eric: "Safe? Is it safe here?"

Paige: "Ah safe, oo safe dito, english ka naman kasi ng English e, pero huwag ka magalala kilala ang lolo ko dito, kaya safe. Oh upo kana."

Eric: "You live here?"

Paige: "Yung bahay na pula ayun sa likod mo."

Eric: "Okay."

After a few drinks, I was able to tell her about Dale.

Eric: "And now, I feel like I'm being stabbed over and over again, dito mismo, sa dibdib ko. Ganun kasakit isipin na just this morning I still had her, pero ngayon, wala na, she's not mine anymore. Maybe was never really mine to begin with."

Paige: "Bakit mo kasi siya sinukuan? Kung ganun mo siya kamahal?"

Eric: "Exactly the same reason, kasi ganun ko siya kamahal, I'd rather see her happy being with someone she truly loves, even if it's not me."

Paige: "Grabe iba ka, alam mo mas lalo mong pinatunayan sakin na karapat dapat nga kitang mahalin- alam mo kahit NBSB ako, alam ko sa sarili ko na kaya kong magmahal ng buo."

Eric: "Then give it to someone who deserves it, not me, it won't work, kasi may mahal akong iba."

Paige: "Kahit pa may mahal kang iba, if ikaw hindi mo sinusukuan yung minamahal mo, ako naman hindi rin kita susukuan- Kaya please ibigay mo na yung number mo-"
