"Can you please behave Katie?" He raised his voice on me when we came back to my condo unit.
"I am not doing anything wrong Enrique!" I answered."Yes, you are not doing anything. The vape? It is bad for your voice." He said."My voice is none of your business!" I shouted."But you are my business Katie, please. If we have problems, let's fix it. I can't lose you." He said and cornered me on the wall."You will never lose me because I'm not yours." I said and I was about to get out if his arms but he hold my wrist."Katie. From now on. You are mine." He said and I froze."W-what?" I asked him. I'm nervous."You are mine, can't you undestand that?" He said."Okay?" He asked."I a-am y-yours." I said and he let me go."We belong with each other so I have rules, is it okay to you?" I nodded."My first rule is don't go out with Gelli, she is just taking you anywhere to have a companion in drinking wines, isn't it?" I nodded."See. You admit it. She is no longer a good influence to you."I know, but why did I felt happy when we are hanging out?" I asked."That was really happy thing at first, but trust me, it will lead you in the bad life. A life that you didn't ever dream of, a miserable life. And who knows of someday she will take you in a drug den. I'm sorry for the words but like what you always heard from me. I care for you and I will protect you. Specially now, I am your boyfriend." He said."They started it the other night, right? When some of her filipino friends put a party drugs on my wine." I said because I remembered it."Yes, that's why I fetch you there. It wasn't safe. There are a lot of drug addicts partying in that bar. There are policemens that keep on raiding that place." He said."Quen, what if I was marked as drug test positive? What will happen to me?" I asked out of curiosity."You will get inside the rehabilitation center for 2 years. You will do handicrafts and other chores. The life there are not that easy. It was like a prison." He said and that gets me afraid."I am afraid." I said."You don't need to, I will never let that happen." He said and slowly carresed my back."Thank you for being always at my side." I said."Anytime Katie. Anytime." He said and when he was about to kiss me, my Little Kiko bark. Thanks to you my little one."Kiko huh? You are disturbing us. I was about to kiss your Mommy." He said and a smile plastered on his face."Well, if Daddy Quen will scold you, Me, I will not do that, I will say thank you because you stop Daddy from kissing me." Arf! Arf!" He barked hard."Kiko? Why?" I ask while holding him, he looks at Enrique."I guess I know the reason Katie, he's wondering why you called me Daddy earlier." Enrique said."Come on Kiko, I already called Tito Quen as Daddy because, he's your Dad now, he is my boyfriend." I said and I saw Enrique biting his lower lip. So sexy."Arf! Arf!" My little poodle barked again."I think my little poodle is now happy, oum Quen? Can I leave him with you for a while? I just need to go in the theater productions, I have meeting." I said."Katie, I also have work. I think if you couldn't bring Kiko on the theatre production office, me. I'm the one who will bring Kiko on my show." He said."But it's a public event right? How could you bring him?" I asked."If I can do a dog show, fine. I'll do dog show. I know how to showcase the talents of a dog." He said and winked his eyes."Shut up! You're making me laugh Quen. I'll just bring Kiko on the office, he's allowed to came inside." I said."Are you sure?" He asked."Yeah, he's my dog anyways, my responsibility. Not yours." I said and get my bag, I also put the string on Kiko."See you later Babe." He said and kissed me before I get inside the Taxi. I don't want to bring my car because I am with Kiko right now."Hi Gabby." I said when I saw her waiting again for me on the door."You are blooming huh? What happened last week? You didn't update me my dear." She said."Sorry Gabby, I am just happy." That answer was super showbiz."Happy because of a thing? Or should I say person? Is this Nicko?" She asked playfully."Yuck Gabby! Don't mention that name!" I said."Yiee, or should I say Enrique? Yes or no, Are you in a relationship?" I can't lie to my bestfriend."Yes. I never thought that we can be in a relationship, but I already fell for him. And we feel the same, it all started with a pretention." I said and we came inside the office. Mr. Jonathan is here. The father of Nicko."Good morning Sir." I said."Oh hello Katie, is this your dog? He is so cute." Mr. Jonathan said and when he was about to cuddle Kiko, Kiko barked so hard, Mr. Jonathan looks afraid."I am sorry Sir, Kiko doesn't know you." I said and I was also thinking that Nicko is here, because his dad is here also."I called you here because you have an upcoming project, but it have a very good twist, a good and evil sister. Gabrielle is the good sister and Katie is the evil. I trust the two of you so don't disappoint me. That's all for now, good bye." He said and closed his folders and then leave."So that's all?" Gab laughed."I think so haha." I laughed."Do you have plans this night?" She asked."Yeah, I'm going to watch Quen's public show, I want to support him." I said."Really? I'm coming with you too, where is this show?" She asked."SM Marilao, at Bulacan Philippines." I said."I know the place, so let's go." She said and offered her hands, she have her car right now."What happened to you and Nicko?" She asked out of nowhere."I don't have any problem with Nickanor, it's just the issue so I get rid of him." I answered."Do you want to talk with him to fix this issue?" She asked concernly."I want but I'm afraid.""Quen, can I still join there?" I asked my boyfriend because I saw that there was an audition in the TV Channel."You already join there the previous year right?" He asked."Yeah, but I believe in a perfect timing, maybe this is the right time for me. I still wanna try Quen." I said."Okay, I'm the host of that contest Katie. So you are going to studio in what day?" He asked."When I am done with my tasks in the theatre production office, and I will tell them that I'll join so they wouldn't be surprised if they saw me on T.V." I said while smiling."I recommend, don't tell them Kate. Let them be surprised if they saw you on the T.V competition." Quen said."Why? I still signed a contract to them right? So they deserve to know." I insisted."Katie, they didn't explain the contract to you? Your contract was only for the Aleiahe and Alleana Musical. Not for the entire year, you can go out anytime you wanted to go. They didn't handled you
"Where are we going Katie, there are so many people here." Gabby said as I pulled her hands.I'm auditionee number 197, I get here so early but the studio opened 9 AM, the batch 18 is inside the studio, I belong to the batch 19, 10 Persons per batch.There are three rounds for the audition, first is solo, second round is you're going to sing with the the other 9 participants, and the third audition will happen in the TV, we have coaches."It's audition Gabby, you wanna audition too?" I smiled."Huh? Why? You're rising gem of theatre already huh, why are you still auditioning?" She asked."I want to have a name in the Philippine Music Industry, I didn't want a super big name, just enough fame Gab." I smiled."Okay, okay, wait. I'll just sign up. If I didn't see you anymore, I will fall in line, okay? I love you." She ran into the office, she's getting a form and her number, when batch 19 was called, I was so nervous.When we entered the room, we san
I was so fcking nervous because it's the blind auditions day, all of the episodes are showing up in the TV, I'm afraid that the coaches will not turn on me."Water, Ms. Romero." The staff handed me a bottle of mineral water, wow. A free water.I just sat here in front because I couldn't find my batch mates, Crystal, Shaina and Alexis. And even my best friend."Oh! Katie! Glad you're here, can I sat beside you?" Crystal hugged me, I was not surprise that she's here, her voice is so good."Yeah, sure. We're now 2 from the batch, who's the one that was chosen also?" She asked."I don't know, but hopefully it's Alexis." I said, I just like her aura, blissful."Oh! I think, we need to come in Kate." She said, I stood up."It's blind auditions, who do you gonna choose if you are a four chair turner?" She asked."I still like Mommy Sha to be my coach, but I know there's a theatre people in the choices." I said before we enter the room."Romero,
"Quen, when will you come here?" I asked him while on the call, I miss him so much, I haven't seen him for over 2 weeks, the auditions period are already done."Sorry babe, I'm with Alex. We have an upcoming concert. I can't go in your condo this week." He said, a deep sigh burse our of me."It's always like that Quen, it's always like that." I said before turning off the call, I don't wanna cry so I'm just sleeping, maybe it will ease the pain that I'm feeling right now.It's already midnight when I woke up because I felt a heavy feeling on my chest, and there was a force that keep controlling my lips to move.He's kissing me!Should I got afraid right? But I am not, my love is here, Quen is here."I'm now here Babe." He said and kissed me again, I get up so he stopped kissing me."I miss you." I said before hugging him."I missed you too Katie, sorry if I didn't check on you the previous weeks." He said and wiped out his tear
"Why Enrique? Why do you need to kiss Alex on stage? Why?" I was crying all over again because of what he already told me."I need to, we need to catch the attention of the public that's why, but believe me Katie, I love you." He said and hugged me."Don't you ever do that Quen, if you do, you'll lose me." That was an open ended statement."Because I don't really get it, then why don't you just admit to the public that you have a girlfriend, Alex have suitor now, right? Please Quen." I think I was cool for sounding like asking a favor, I deserve it, I am the girlfriend."Please, understand me this time." He said."No, I don't understand Enrique." I said."You are in the showbiz industry too right? Therefore you know this so well, you have an issue like this before Katie, but I saved you." Is he emphasising the phrase ‘I saved you’?"Did I told you to save me? You just do it. I didn't ask for it Enrique." I said before leaving him in the
"Hey Katie, I missed you." His baritone voice filled the condo but I just keep on staring at him, don't even like to threw just one word to him."Uy, I'm here already, what will you sing on the battle rounds?" He get my notebook so I shouted."Give it back to me." I coldly said."Hey, what's your problem? What happened?" He asked again, don't really know huh?"Ask yourself if what is the problem." I said before he give back my notebook."I don't know Katie, I've explained everything to you right? So what's this all about? Let's fix this." He said, after a while we just heard my hands hitting his face."Could please stop playing with me Enrique? I know everything, you know that I was in Pampanga the concert night, but it wasn't true, I was on your concert! I witnessed everything Quen, everything!" I said while crying and holding the flower vase."So you mean?" He's buffering."Yeah, the way you make your audience to feel the kilig, I was hurt E
"You will be singing Masterpiece by Jessie J."My eyes widened because of it, that was my favorite song and I really know how to sang that well."Here is your copy Jane, and this one is for you Katie." Mommy Sha said and give us the piece of papers."So much pressure, why so loud. If you don't like my sound, you can turn it down. I gotta roll, and I walk it alone." Jane read the first verse, she seems not familiar on the song."Your turn baby." Mommy Sha said."Uphill battle, I look good when I climb. I'm ferocious, precocious. I get braggadocios, I'm not gonna stop, I like the view from the top." I sang it, I know what the tune was e."Okay, both of you did well. Jane sweetheart, I recommend if you would use your higher voice please. And you Katie, you're accent is perfect for the song, Masterpiece. And please Katie, don't make it sound like on a musical theatre because I heard it earlier. That's all. Could you sing it again." Mommy Sha said.We s
"Artists, please proceed on the back stage." The staffs said so me and my other team mates proceeded on the on back stage, I know we're shooting a VTR. "Katie." I heard Quen's PA calling me. "Why?" I came towards him. "Kuya Quen was waiting for you on his dressing room, the show will not start if he's not around. So please go on his dressing room now Ate Katie." He said, I believe him so I ran into Quen's dressing room. "What do you need? Why are you looking for me?" I asked him coldly. "Why are you with Nickanor the night before last night?" He asked. "Are that going to fix our problem if I told you the reason why I am with him?" I asked him back, that sound sarcastic. "Hey Katie! Please do some effort here, please." He said and then I slapped him. "I was doing an effort Enrique, but you're not seeing it, because you are always with your Alex. You are always with her." I said. "I am with her because, it was wor
