Brianna Huangco's POV

Through all the night, senator was keep calling me but I just ignore it and just message him instead. But seems like my message was a little bit cold for him to keep calling me. He even wants to accompany me on the way to airport but I keep rejecting him. Though I was being harsh but I just want to have some space and think. It's not that I don't trust him but my brother's words were seems magical for me to keep overthinking it.

But despite of all, I just thought that maybe it'll be better if I just talk to him instead. Maybe there's an explanation in my accusations. Maybe if he knew what I'm thinking, he can make me realize that I was wrong. I shouldn't judge him at the first place. But I'm already in New York. As much as I want to talk to him personally, I can't.

"Anna, hoy!" I was facing my phone when Katrina snap her finger in front of me. "Ok ka lang ba? Kanina pa kita tinatawag. Tska, tulala ka dyan?"

"I miss him, Kat," I said and pout my lips.

"Sino?" She asked like she knew nothing and not expecting for me to missed someone. "Si senator ba?"

"Hm-uhm," I respond.

"Oh my god, girl. Akala ko ba friends lang?" She said with high pitch of voice.

"He already confessed. So as I," I said still in sullen face.

"Ok? So? What's with that face?" She asked and play her finger, pointing at me.

"Kahapon kasi-"

"Oh god, girl. No time for chika. We need to prepare na. We have a hectic schedule." She cut me off and start picking up some clothes we'll be using.

I wore a white double breasted puff sleeve solid blazer dress and bette snakeskin-embossed leather ankle boots for Tori Burch show this morning.

Photograpers were flocking outside the Lincoln center, associating with other influencers and here I am with Kat including other friends. As we went out of the car, some photograpers moved their cameras to us, taking picture of us. I plastered a smile and maintain my poise as we're walking by.

"Anna Huangco," Emelie Rubinfield approach us. The CEO of Carolina Herrera that I will be associating with later for my fitting.

"Hi! This is Katrina, Madona and Ella," I introduced my friends. They acquainted each other then we enter the Lincoln center. Before we finally enter the main hall, we still take a picture at the red carpet billboard.

Just like what is happening on a Fashion show, introduction, runway, the designer, acquaintances and all. I met some new designers, I got some gifts from different designers which is I love the most 'cause I love gifts. Most specially if it's designer brands. I even saw how was going on behind the stage, behind those models in runway.

After the Tori Burch show, we went to Madison Avenue for Carolina Herrera fitting. The dress that I will got, is what I will be using for this night's Harper's bazaar icon party. I just got the white/black brocade shirt dress and a nude patent leather pumps heels.

"Anna, it's Georgina, oh." Madona poked on me and pointed somewhere. When I look at it, I saw Georgina talking with other influencers. Naalala ko tuloy si senator.

I came back to my senses when I saw Gerogina suddenly moved her gaze to the spot where I'm standing at. She smiled at me when she saw me so I smiled her back. I saw her excuse herself to her campanions and walk towards us.

Katrina, Madona, Ella and I were just in a cocktail table, lowkey socializing with other people.

"Good to see you here, Anna," Georgina said as she went near us. "And to your friends as well."

"Good to see you too. This is Ella, Madona and Katrina," I introduced them again. I've been introducing them to a lot of people earlier and same goes with them. We introduced each other to some people we're acquainted with.

"How are you and Senator?" She suddenly asked.

"We're good," I said even though I really don't know what's going on between us regarding to my actions.

"Ohh. Anyway, how long have you been with Brian?" She asked.

"Just not so long," I simply answered.

I suddenly felt shame. Shame that Senator and I just met. I know there's no problem with that but I just can't stand with it. Knowing that I've done something dissapointing at him when we just met and it's been just days since we admit each other's feelings. Furthermore, We haven't clarifying our condition. Yet I don't want to assume and be the one to bid for our relationship. I feel so confused.

After all, I still spend the night having fun at the party. Harper's bazaar is the most stylish time of the year with its annual bazaar icons party at all. It was an unforgettable night celebrating this year's set of icons, which featured formidable actors, models, and musicians who aren't afraid to break the rules. Alicia Keys gave a stunning performance as Belvedere, Whispering Angel, and Moet & Chandon poured the night's signature sips. With Cartier acting as the exclusive Maison partner with bazaar, the red carpet was nothing short of dazzling.

Same goes on the second day. Prabal Gurung show in the morning, Kat and I had a Katespade shoot as well. We ate lunch at the Abc Kitchen in Union Square Park and we also went to Marc Jacob's in Madison Avenue for fitting after lunch. We spend the rest of the afternoon in the hotel to prepair for the DKNY party that will be held this night. It's just the second day but it seems like the fifth day. Good thing that we don't have too much schedule tomorrow and we can go around New York, especially in Time Square that I always wanted to go. Though, we still have appointment to some fashion show.

Current DKNY campaign stars, The Martinez Brothers, kicked things off with an epic DJ set, performed against a dynamic light show worthy of a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden.

Red, white, and silver confetti rained down from the ceiling as the crowd danced and took their final photos in front of DKNY's massive light-up bubble installation before heading into the night with a little help from Lyft, which partnered with DKNY for the night to make sure everyone got home safe.

We're now in the hotel where we are staying here in New York, going back to our room. After some agenda in reception area, we went to the elevator and moved up to 22nd floor where our room are.

I was facing my cellphone as we went out of the elevator, walking along the hall, when I felt Katrina suddenly stop on walking so I also stop and look at her. I got confused when she stunned on her foot, looking in front of us. She looked at me with a puzzled face so I got confuse and slowly looked at where she's looking a while ago. My lips partially drop, surprised, when I saw senator standing two meters from us.

"Una na 'ko, Anna, ha?" Kat excused herself. Hindi nya na ako hinintay magsalita at umalis na.

I look back to senator when I saw Kat enter the room. He breathed out and look at me like he's dissapointed at me. Out of embarrasment, I slowly walked over to him. He walked towards me with the opposite of my actions. He rapidly walk and grab my wrist to hug me. I felt him sighed of relief.

"Ano?" He asked sound frustrated. He asked like he's waiting for my explanation.

"Sorry," I whispered as I hugged him back.

"Para namang ewan eh," he ranted like a kid. He parted and cupped my face to kiss my forehead. My hand were still on his waist, hugging him. "Bakit?"

"Sorry," I said and looked down out of embarrassment.

"Sorry naman ng sorry. Hindi mo naman sinasabi kung bakit," he calmly said but there's a hint of irritation to his voice. "Is it about your family?"

"They're at odds with us," I said and bury myself to his arms. "I'm scared."

"I will not let anything happen to us, ok? I'm here," he said and locked me to his arm, putting his other hand to my back head. "I love you."

I stunned the moment he said that. It is the first time I'm hearing that to him and my heart suddenly started racing. It feels unusual and nonchalant. It is exciting, confusing, scary. All placed in a big box. It is a step for the next chapter into a relationship. But one thing for sure...

Bottom line, I want to be near you, thought of by you, and assist you.
