Maybe This Time

We Got You

Beatriz

First day of training back it's 5 in the morning and I'm on the way to Jho's place to pick her up. We only have 1 training for today but coach chose to train in the morning to bring back the discipline daw.

*knock* *knock*

"Good morning Tita ang aga niyo po ah" I greeted Tita Lovel who opened the door for me. "Alam mo naman si Jhoana tulog mantika baka hindi magising ng alarm lang" Tita Lovel.

And yes, I already know that Tita Lovel knows about us and I'm so happy and thankful for her, for accepting us and supporting us. In my case, sinabi ko na din kay Dad and I know naman from the beginning that he will be supportive.

"So slow talaga lagot tayo kay Coach Tai" I said when I saw Jho finally coming out from her room. "Daming say tara na mala-late tayo" Jho.

"Ma alis na po kami! Mwa" Jho. "Eto anak ginawan ko kayo ng baon. Mag almusal muna kayo. Ingat kayong dalawa ha" Tita Lovel. "Opo, bye Tita! Thank you po!" I said.

While driving naalala ko na hindi pa pala ko kumakaing ng breakfast and Tita Lovel gave us some sandwiches. "Jho sabi ni Tita mag almusal daw. Sandwich please" I said then she handed me the sandwich and ate her own. "What am I gonna do with this?" I asked. How am I gonna eat that while driving? "Kakainin?" Jho. "I mean how am I gonna eat while driving? Subuan mo na ko hahah please I'm hungry na" I said trying to convince her to feed me. "Hoy ang aga aga ang harot! Kaya mo yan nakakakain ka nga ng Mcdo habang nagd-drive" She answered. She's soo hard to get. "Dali na please I'm hungry na. And it's your chance na to make a move to your crush duh" I said with a smile. Finally, she gave in and fed me the sandwich.

"JhoBea!!!" Ana shouted as soon as she saw us from the entrance of the gym. "Good morning Ana ha" I said with kind of a sarcastic tone because it's literally 5 in the morning and she's shouting. "Taas ng energy natin beh? Hahaha baket wala ka nung meeting?" Jho asked Ana. "Nag last check up pa ko ulit para sa tuhod ko" Ana explained.

"Waaahhh Jhoanaaa!" We hear another shout, it was Mich. "Beshy! Isa ka pa baket wala ka din nung meeting?" Jho to Mich. "Secret char may inayos lang na papers alam mo naman last minute yung amin ni Ana" Mich.

"Wow what a comeback huh? I feel more confident now hahah" I said. Well Ana and Mich were a big loss last season 78 din. Sakto din yung comeback ni Ana since Maddie's injured and Kiwi graduated already.

"Aba teka nga kayong dalawa ha, isang taon lang ako nawala at nakikita ko padin naman kayo paminsan minsan biglang may pa-JhoBea tandem na kong nababasa sa twitter?" Mich to Jho & I. Wew HAHAHA

"Well charms ko lang yun" I said "Wala 'yon!" Jho. "Luh? Tigilan niyo ko sa wala yun ha! Ganap kung ganap din kaya yung mga pictures sa twitter?" Ana. "Alam niyo, I missed you two pero Coach Tai is calling us already" I said.

We started training and Coach Tai doesn't really have mercy even if it's just the first day back. It was hell that during water breaks every body is just quiet and catching their breath. Even when it was time to cool down we were quiet enough to show how drained we are.

"Shower na tayo beh" Jho said. "Ay SPG! Jia ano ba 'to help!" Mich who seems like she regained her energy already. "Whatever Mich bubuhayin ko ulit JiaMich sa twitter" I said. "Ay wag ganon mars hahaha" She said. Well if you guys don't know, when they were rookies Mich had a crush on Jia. She tried courting her but Jia rejected her, they ended up as best friends tho.

After training the team decided to have lunch at Ate Aly's newly opened food business. It was a lot of catching up especially with Mich and Ana. "Musta namana yung Bacolod niyo beh" Mich asked us.

"Masaya naman kahit biglaan madami din kami napuntahan diba Gi?" Jho answered. "Eh ano yung nagtrending Jho bat may pa-'palangga ta ka' kay Bea?" Ana to Jho which made me laugh nalang hahaha. I think we're cornered and we have no choice but to tell our teammates already about Jho and I being on the same page.

"Wala yun! Tinuruan kasi ako ng ilonggo nung isang fan dun tapos sinabi ko lang kela Kim yung tinuro sakin" Jho defended. I looked around and I can see it from every body's face that they're trying their best not to ask directly if what's going on between us. I looked at Jia and she's so red from trying to hold her laugh.

The food came and Ate Ly suggested that we should try their new best seller which is Bagnet. She's also good enough to give us complimentary desserts which are the team's favorite, their Nutella pancakes and their newest addition to the menu, White Chocolate Strawberry pancakes? Something like that.

"Mmm Ate Ly! This is so good! Who thought of this flavor?" I tried the White Chocolate Strawberry pancake. "You should try it! Here oh" I gave Jho a bite of the pancake.

"Asus nag Bacolod lang may subuan nang nangyayare" Mich. "Kim I think our ship is sailing" Gizelle. "Hay nako kayo ha! Ano na ba talaga ang real score sa inyong dalawa?" Ana intriguingly asked. "Ehem ehem" Jia looked at Jho and me.

Oh God why am I feeling shy right now? Baket nung kay Jia namin sinabi di ako kinabahan? "Ay di sumasagot. Ate Ly based on experience, anong real score sa dalawa?" Ana.

"Dinamay niyo pa talaga ko. Alam niyo kayo....ano nga ba sagot ha? Jho at Bea?" Ate Ly. I THOUGHT SHE'S GONNA COVER US UP BUT WHY ATE LY :((( Everyone went silent and was intensely looking at me and Jho waiting for us to answer.

"Basta we're on the same page yun nalang" Jho blurted out. To be honest, I'm shocked that she's the one who casually answered and ako yung nahihiya ngayon.

"Showbiz pa din ng sagot!" Ponggay. Ayan na nagsisimula na mangasar ang mga bata. "In short, MU! Sorry bes di ko na mapigilan" Jia said. Everybody were shocked and as expected puro pang aasar. Jho was just laughing at their reactions and I was shocked at natawa nalang din.

"Teka muna baby besh at Jho ha I hope you learn from my mistakes" Ate Ly. "Sa mistakes ko din. Dahil mutual naman feelings niyo, paglaban niyo lang. Ako kasi—charot" Mich was cut off by Jia.

"Pero mga Ate, happy po ako para sainyo. At basta masaya din kayo 100% support ako sainyo!" Deanna

We didn't stay for a long time since we were all tired and wants some rest. I'm dropping off Jho to their place naman and I'm thinking if I'll stay over for a while or not.

"Ayan ka nanaman Beatriz ha ngiting ngiti ka nanaman mag-isa diyan" Jho. "What? Hahah" I said. "Bakit ngumingiti ka nanaman mag-isa diyan ha?" She asked.

"Hmm nothing. It just feels good to have the people around us. They're so supportive right? Parang it's not just us who's on the same page but the people around us as well. Wala it makes me happy lang" I said while smiling. This girl beside me naman blushed.

"Oh you're kilig na naman. I'm so good at making you blush" I added. "Ewan ko sayo! Panira naman ng moment!" Jho, pinalo pa ko.

"But seriously, I'm happy and I'm thankful for everything. Taking it slow is just perfect. Let's go back to Tagaytay?" I impulsively asked.

"Huh ano gagawin natin dun? Di ka ba napagod kanina?" Magpahinga nalang tayo Bei" Jho.

"Napagod but kaya pa naman it's early pa naman. Tsaka dun na tayo magpahinga. Feel ko mag rest in a quiet place with a relaxing view and a person that feels like home" I said while looking directly into her eyes. And you guessed it right, Jho blushed again.
