"I miss you, sweetie!" My mom hugged me as soon as she saw me waiting for them at the airport.
I hug her back. "I miss you too mom!"
My dad waited until my mom let go of me. He then gave me the same warm hug. Gelo, Tanya, and Dennis did the same.
I was surprised and happy when I saw Dennis. My mom did not tell me that they will bring Dennis with them.
"I didn't know you'll come, Dennis. But I'm glad you are here. I miss your brother!"
I was not able to visit my adopted family that much because many things have happened. But I made sure to call them as much as I could.
"One Media Incorporated proudly presents to you our newest magazine, STELLAR." I was overwhelmed with the response that I am receiving from the crowd when I reveal to them our magazine cover. Stellar is our newly launched magazine created by yours truly. I was inspired by all my experiences with my guests for the past six months. I was able to explore more about the industry. I collaborate with many celebrities and brands. I also experienced doing photoshoots and runways. After I feature my mom on my vlog, it became a hot topic not just in America but all over the world. My mom indeed is a legend in this industry. I experience her popularity on hand. Many brands and media contacted me for sponsorship(brands) and interviews(media). That is where I came wit
Now that I am traveling back to Manila, I can feel the exhaustion of having more than twenty-one hours flight. I can't believe that after two years of living in America, I am finally coming home. I feel excited to see my family but at the same time, I feel nervous about the thought of seeing Andrew and Anne. I don't know if two years is enough to forget about my feelings for Andrew. I am scared of what will happen to my friendship with Anne and Iya. I treated Anne and Iya as my own sisters. But with everything that happened, I don't think that we can be as close as before. I was about to call Lance when I saw them waving at me. I smiled and wave back at them. Lance walks in my direction and hugs me. "I miss you, my beautiful cousin!"
"Are you sure that Alli will be with us tomorrow and she will be here for good?" I asked Lance for the nth time. I still can't believe it. After two years of patiently waiting, finally she is back. I miss my baby so much. I can't wait to see her, even though I know that I will need to win her again. I was not aware that she went back a month after she left... actually, no one knew about her sudden return. I only found out when she send me a long message before she blocked me on her phone and all her social media accounts. I was planning to go to the US when I confirm everything to Lance but he stops me from chasing Allison. He told me that I should give the space that Alli needs. Alli was too emotional to absorb everything. I blame myself for listenin
"This time, I will not allow you to run away from me again."I feel my heart pounding hard. Am I hearing it right? I don't want to assume anything but I also don't want to play dumb. I saw Andrew looking at Lance. They don't utter any words but their eyes are talking. Lance nodded. "Guys I think the lunch is ready, let's head to the dining area." He said while giving people a knowing look."Great idea! Let's go!" Mike said to support Lance's excuse.All of them agreed and went ahead to the dining area. They are all acting weird. It was as if they all planned this.
"What are you saying?!" Andrew went closer to me. "We never broke up baby. I gave you the time and space that you need to think. But I will never agree with the breakup."I glared at him and started to punch his chest. "You are telling me that we never broke up but you let me suffer for two years thinking that you and Anne are together! You never made an effort to explain to me and clear the issue!" Andrew hugs me while I was punching him. "I just did."The hug was so tight that I can't raise my arms to punch him. "I hate you!" "I know you don't mean that. I miss you, baby." He said then he kissed me on my forehead.
I could see the disappointment in them and I understand. Andrew was never in my plan when I went back to the Philippines. I thought that what we had is already over. But now that everything is clear, I don't want to lose him again but I can't be selfish. I should think about the people around me who will be affected if the public will know about my romantic relationship with Andrew."Are you serious?" I could see pain and disappointment in his eyes."You are a celebrity now my love. Imagine the reaction of your fans if they found out that you are already taken? Look at Anne. She was bashed by your fans thinking that she is your girlfriend. What more if it's me?" I explained to him."Alli has a point bro. Most of your fans are shipping you with other singers.
"Allison band?!" All of them asked in sync.I can't help but chuckle at their reaction."Allison is the name of the band of Andrew and his friends, including my cousin when they were in college," I told them."I think I read about that from Twitter." Freya one from the marketing team commented."You are right Freya. Since we want to take advantage of the noise that the fans created yesterday, we should make the most of it." This is what I came up with. I know that this band name will be revealed at any moment. It's best to be the one who tells them about the name of Andrew's band in college than to an unknown source. In this
"Did I hear it right? You don't want me to be too close to Lieo?" I asked to hope that I really heard it wrong.Andrew looks at me intently. His intense looks make me feel nervous. What happens? Why is he asking me not to be too close with Lieo? Is he jealous or what?"You heard it right. I don't want you to be too close to him." He said more clearly this time.My eyes widen a fraction from the shock of his frankness. "But why? What did he do to you? Or are you jealous? You know that I'm always close to him but we are just friends.""I know you only see him as a friend but not Lieo. He doesn't see you as one." My brow furrowe
