Chasing after Chances [Fangirl & Idol Series #1]

twenty-five

Date

I finally graduated as summa cum laude. And I'm now fixing my application forms after passing the board exams. Zandra has a job now, as a fashion designer. She told me, though hindi na kami nagkita ulit. Well, magaganda talaga works ni bes.

After that night, I talked to Devlin. We were able to fix things between us. Xhaiven and I are seeing each other whenever we want to. After the one-year contract, they added 5 more months. That's why I'm still dating Devlin, secretly.

"Where do you want to go?" the man who's lying on my bed asked.

"Can we go to uhm, Paris?" I've always wanted to go to Paris.

"Paris? Honey, we're going there. I have an upcoming concert there. So, iba nalang muna." I sighed and went to the bed.

I sat there and stared at him. I've caused too much pain on him. I caressed his cheek before giving him a soft kiss. He held my nape to deepen the kiss. I switched from the bed to his abdomen.

"Hindi ka ba nadidiri sa 'kin? Hindi ka galit? Kahit na alam mong may ginawa akong kasalanan sa 'yo?" I asked this question for the nth time.

"I just love you so much, honey," he smiled at me.

"I love you so much more." I'm about to cry...

"Hey, why are you crying?" He sat down and gave me a tight hug. I just cried over his shoulder.

"I don't care about what happened in the past months, just choose me and I'll choose you too. If you think that I don't deserve you, no, you're wrong. No matter how hard it is to chase after chances, I still believe that I really deserve you." It made me cry more.

"B-But I don't deserve you-"

"Yeah, I think so. You deserve a man like Xhaiven. But that doesn't mean that you have to choose him. I'll prove you that you deserve me as well." How can someone ignore his words? I love him.

"Let's have a date later." He unwrapped his arms around me and smiled.

"Where?"

"Amusement park?" Nagtaka siya bigla pero agad ding ngumiti.

"Alright."

"Thank you! I love you!" Tinadtad ko siya ng halik sa mukha. Natatawa nalang siya habang nakaalalay sa beywang ko.

"Your saliva is all over my face." Tumigil ako at sinamaan siya ng tingin.

"Wow. Did I complain when you spurted out your-"

"Shush. Don't-"

"What? Totoo naman-"

Hindi na ako nakapagsalita nang halikan niya ako. I longed for this. His kisses... The way he kisses me. I'm a hundred percent sure that it is him, the man whom I love.

Nang sumapit ang hapon ay nag-ayos na kami para pumunta sa amusement park. Matchy-matchy pa ang outfit namin. Pareho kaming naka-black jacket sa taas at naka-denim pants sa baba. Nagsuot kami pareho ng black cap at face mask para walang makakilala sa amin.

Malamig na ang hangin kasi malapit nang gumabi. Ang saya ko lang kasi magkahawak-kamay kami hanggang sa makalabas ng kotse. Bumili lang muna kami ng tickets at nag-decide kung anong uunahin na ride.
