Superstar's Personal Assistant (COMPLETE ✅)

Chapter 29 💄💋

[Ella's POV]

"Are you still angry with me, Ella? "

Napatigil ako sa pagkain at tiningnan siya.

"What do you think? "

Mabilis na inabot niya ang kanang kamay ko sa mesa at hinawakan ng mahigpit.

"What else should I do for you to forgive me? You're with me physically yet it feels like I'm an air to you. I'm sorry, okay? I'll say s-sorry to Wonwoo if you want. "

Pilit na iniiwasan niya ang tingin ko. Hihilain ko na sana ang kamay ko pero mas hinigpitan niya ito.

"Really?  You will do that? "

"I-If getting your forgiveness in return then I'll r-risk. "

"You're not sincere. Mukhang napipilitan ka lang. "

"Gegawin ko na nga Ella eh! "

"Now you're shouting at me. "

Bigla namang umamo ang mukha niya at parang aso na nagpacute.

"I'm not shouting at you. Sorry. Promise, I'll say sorry to him. "

Matamang tiningnan ko siya.

"Tell me the truth. Bakit ganun ka na lang umakto nong gabing iyon? Give me valid reason so I can forgive you. "

"I'm wo---"

"I've heard that for so many times Cheoli and that's unacceptable. I know na may totoong rason ka talaga. "

"It's not yet the right time, Ella. "

He looked problematic.

"Yung ayaw ko talaga sa lahat ay yung hindi ako nalilinawan. Pumayag akong sumama sayo cause I want to clear things up. Alam mo bang hindi ko pa din kayang harapin si Wonwoo cause I don't know what to explain about your sudden burst out. Kung hindi mo naman pala kayang mag explain then I think it's still not yet the right time to talk to you. I don't know if what's stopping you. Sabihan mo na lang ako if right time na ha? By the way, thanks for the drinks. "

Padabog na hinila ko ang kamay ko at dala ang chocolate drink na iniwan siya. Nakasalubong ko pa si Mr. Dinorog na mukhang asawa niya ang kasama niya dahil magkaholding hands sila.

"Ella! "

Mas binilisan ko ang lakad ko at hindi ko na alam kung saan ako patungo. Dinala ako ng paa ko malapit sa dagat. May puno ng niyog na korte pahiga yung pagtubo niya kaya nagmukhang upuan na parang may instant payong sa taas dahil sa dahon. Walang bunga kaya iwas bukol pag nahulugan.

Umupo ako at inubos ang chocolate drink. Hindi na katakataka kung nasa harap ko na ngayon ang camel na to. Naghahabol siya ng hininga dahil sa pagtakbo.

"You're pushing me into my limits, Ella. "

Bumuga siya ng hininga at lumapit sakin.

"Fine! I'll tell you the main reason. Just promise me that after this you will not ignore me. To tell you frankly, I'm scared if what would be that possible outcome. I'm afraid that you'll choose him over me. I've never been thus hesitant to express what I really feel. "

"You're confusing me, Cheoli. "

"I'm jealous!"

Nabitawan ko ang hawak kong cup. My heart starts to beat erratically.

"Wh----"

"Because I love you! I get jealous just by seeing you with him. I envy him cause he can easily get close to you and can talk to you. Yes, we're together everyday but I'm afraid getting closer and closer to you but the more I avoid you my feelings gets deeper and deeper. I kept on missing you whenever I'm out of the country. You, I love you even more knowing that me being a superstar doesn't mean to you. You're different cause you're the only girl who can easily talks back at me. I did try my best to stop my feelings because I prioritize your safety but why should I mind them?  It's my turn to be happy. I love you, Ella. I really love you. "

Totoo ba ang naririnig ko? Am I not hallucinating?

Mas lumapit pa siya sakin at marahang hinaplos ako sa pisngi. Inalis niya sakin ang beach hat at inipit ang kumawalang buhok ko sa likuran ng tenga ko.

"Thank you for coming into my life. I thank God dahil pinagtagpo niya tayo sa National Book store. I made a you as my personal assistant cause I don't want you out of my sight. I thank temptress lipstick for being a disguise for me to taste your lips and that's exactly the moment my heart starts beating for you. You have responsibility to me, Ella. You must take care of my heart because from now on, it's yours. I love you so much. "

A single tear escaped from my eyes and then followed by another until I can't stop them anymore.

"Why are you crying? I want to put smile on your face not tears in your eyes. Was my feelings enough for you to forgive me? "

"Y-You're not lying, right? "

"Why should I lie?  You want proof that I really love you? That you're the only girl who captured the superstar's heart? "

Wala sa sariling napatango ako. Sa isang mabilis na kilos nakapalibot na ang kaliwang kamay niya sa bewang ko habang ang kanang kamay niya naman ay nakaalalay sa likuran ng ulo ko at sinalubong niya ako ng halik sa labi. The kiss we shared right now is different from those kisses we've done. Totoo pala ang sinasabi nila na parang mamimingi ka pero naririnig mo pa din ang sabay na pagtibok ng puso niyo. Parang hindi ko na nga narinig ang ingay ng paghampas ng alon at ang mga huni ng ibon.

Tinigil niya ang halik at hindi ko napigilang masampal siya ng malakas. Nanlalaki ang mata na tiningnan niya ako at nakahawak sa parte ng pisngi na sinampal ko.

"W-Why did you slap me? "

"Remember what I said about kissing me? "

Napaawang ang bibig niya at maya-maya ay ngumiti ng nakakaloko. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin dahil parang hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko na mahawa sa camel smile este sa gummy smile niya. For sure mang-aasar na naman to!

"Alam kong negustuhan mo naman. Mesakit yung sampal mo ah. "

Pansin ko lang, kanina pa to panay pilit na magtagalog ah?

"With feelings iyon! "

"What? "

Inirapan ko nga. Di niya ba alam na parang mahihimatay na ako sa hiya? Goodbye single life na ba to? Kahit ako hindi sanay na ganito umasta.

"That's what you call slap with feelings. "

Agad na tinalikuran ko siya pero mayamaya ay patakbong lumapit siya sakin at binuhat ako. Napatili ako sa gulat pero tawa lang siya ng tawa.
