What happened to us?

Chapter 20

Eli's POV

8 am na ako nagising at may rehearsal pa kami mamayang 9 fuck! Agad akong naligo at nag bihis. I just wear a white maxi dress and my beach sandals, agad akong bumaba sa lobby at nakitang anduon na ang ibang models. Hindi na ako nakapag breakfast because I don't have enough time ghad!

"Eli! Gosh you owe me an explanation huh." Salubong saakin ni Sandra.

Sabay kaming lumabas at pumunta kung saan gaganapin ang fashion show mamayang gabi. Nag rehearse lang ulit kami at tumigil nang mag lunch na.

"Hey so what happened? Who's that guy last night?" Tanong ni Trisha habang pabalik kami sa loob ng hotel para kumain.

"He's uhm a friend, he just uhh doesn't like other guys touching me you know naman kung paano ako yakapin ni Kristoff kagabi." I explained.

"Oh yeah napansin ko nga iyon, I just thought that you and kristoff like eachother kaya hindi ko na pinuna iyon. Are you uncomfortable for what he did?"

"Y-yes, but he's a friend k-kaya hindi ko nasabi sakaniya I don't wan't to offend him." I said.

We both sat down and ordered a lunch.

"Sorry I didn't know, but Eli it's okay to speak out." Concerned niyang sabi.

Tipid ko lang siyang nginitian at kumain na kami ng lunch, buti nalang at hindi sumabay saamin si Kristoff and I don't know why pero siguro ok nadin iyon.

Wala nang rehearsal after lunch at pinag pahinga nalang kami mamayang  4:30 kami mag aayos for the fashion show, I just stayed on our suite and take a nap.

Nagising ako ng 3pm and decided to go out for a walk. Buti at hindi ngayon ka tirik ang araw unlike kahapon. Umupo ako sa buhangin at niyakap ang tuhod ko, I badly wan't to stay here longer I hope that after the fashion show bigyan kami ng kahit isang araw lang para maenjoy ang pagsstay namin dito.

Sa gilid ng mata ko ay nakita kong may tumabi saakin, nagulat ako ng si Renz iyon.

"Goodluck on your fashion show later."

"Thanks." Halos pabulong kong sabi.

We stayed there for a while at wala ni isa saamin ang nag salita. Nang malapit na mag 4 ay tumayo na ako.

"I need to go now, mag aayos pa kami." Paalam ko.

Tumingala siya at tumango kaya umalis na ako duon, nag punta ako sa mga asigned tents para saamin. At nakitang naduon na si Trisha, kami ang magkasama sa isang tent.

"Hey! Pinuntahan kita kanina sa suite kaso wala ka."

"Nag lakad lakad lang ako."

Nagsimula nang ayusan ako ng stylist, later I'll be wearing a white tube bowknot swimsuit and yellow maxi skirt with a slit.

Nang mag 5:30 na ay agad kaming pumwesto sa backstage, exactly 6pm the event began to start. Nag si labasan na ang mga models isa isa, as usual I'm part of the finale.

When it's my turn to go out I immadiately went out with no hint of emotion in my face. I saw Renz watching and I began to feel uncomfortable but I managed to keep serious.

I turned around to go back, saka lang ako naka hinga ng maluwag nang nakarating na ako sa backstage. At katulad ng dati ay nag speech ang designer after that the medias went to other models to do some interviews. As expected hindi ako nakawala sa mga medias.

"Miss Eli! It's your first time doing  a fashion show here in Philippines, how was it?"

"It's good, I enjoyed it actually because finally I modeled with my fellow filipino models."

"Are you planning to go back in New York?"

"Of course."

"On your last interview in New York we heared that you didn't answer the last question."

I chuckled when they opened that topic, seriously? Hindi pa sila nakakaget over duon?

"Can you answer it now Ms. Davis?"

I nod then answered.

"Lucas is just a dear friend of mine there are nothing going on with us except our friendship."

"How about the CEO of your dad and tito's company? Renz Hudson, are you two dating? We saw both of you na sabay kayong nag punta sa anniversary celebration ng company niyo."

Ikinagulat ko ang tanong na iyon pero agad ding nakabawi.

"There's nothing going on between us." Walang emosyon kong sagot.

Nang matapos ang interview ay nag bihis na ako at bumalik muna sa suite.

"Tomorrow night we're going to celebrate at a club near this hotel, walking distance lang just a few blocks." Salubong saakin ni Trisha.

I just nod and slammed myself on my bed.

"Hey let's have a dinner, tomorrow ipapakilala tayo sa iilang businessmen." Sabi ni Trisha.

Tumayo ako at inayos ang damit ko tsaka kami lumabas ng suite at bumaba na para makapag dinner.

Sa seashore kami kumain para kita ang dagat, we ordered some seafoods and a cola. I put my hair in the side of my shoulder dahil nililipad ito dahil sa hangin, it revealed my back.

Isang foreigner ang sumipol kaya umirap na lamang ako, I felt a warm cloth touched my back. It's a black jacket tumingala ako kung sino ang naglagay noon duon. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay but he just snob me and sit on a chair on my right side.

Nag tatakang tumingin saakin si  Trisha na naka upo sa harapan ko.

"Trisha this is Renz my friend and Renz this is Trisha also my friend and my co model."

Tinanguan lang ni Renz si Trisha at umorder na ng pagkain niya habang si Trisha ay gulat padin sa pag dating ng lalaking ito.

"Why do you have to wear that thing? It's revealing your back also your cleavage." 

Yumuko at tinignan ang dibdib ko what's the problem with my clothes? I'm wearing a maxi dress, as if naman buong dibdib ko ang kita gosh!

"What do you wan't me to wear? Pajamas? Renz we're on a beach don't expect na mag susuot ako ng balot na balot na damit." I said at inirapan siya bakit lahat nalang pinakealaman niya?

Our order came and we just ate quietly maybe Trisha got intimidated by Renz' aura. After eating ay nag paalam na si Trisha na babalik na siya sa suite namin kaya kami nalang ni Renz ang natira dito.

Maya maya ay tumawag saakin si Lucas.

"Excused me I'll just take this call." Paalam ko at tumayo na.

Nakaharap ako ngayon sa dagat at sinagot ang  tawag ni Lucas.

"Hey." Pambungad ko.

"Kamusta? Are you doing good there?" He asked.

"Yup! The fashion show ends well, tomorrow we're going to be introduced to some businessmen."
I said at niyakap ang sarili dahil sa lamig, dahil iniwan ko kanina ang jacket ni Renz sa upuan.

"Oh that's good, take care can't wait to see you on sunday."

"You too, see you on sunday."

"Alright, bye." He said then hang up.

Napaatras ako ng nabasa ang paa ko dahil sa dagat, tumama ang likod ko sa isang matigas na bagay. Lumingon ako at nakita ko ang isang dibdib ng lalaki, tumingala ako at nakita kong si Renz iyon.

Ngayon ko lang napansin ang suot niya, he's wearing a beach polo shirt and a board shorts. His polo is now unbuttoned revealing his six pack abs, his physical features became more matured. On his right hand I saw the jacket he puts on my shoulder earlier.

"Sorry." I apologized for bumping on him.
 
"I-i should go back in my suite." Sabi ko at umalis na sa harapan niya.
