"Hi Gabrielle." I immediately greeted my best friend when I saw her, she's always like this, waiting for me on the door or on the gate.
"Katie, glad you're already here. Let's go." She said and lead me towards our table, we only have 3 circle table inside, the room was filled by 24 people, 6 main casts, 8 extras, 3 producers, 5 writers and 2 directors and other restaurant staffs."Have a seat Katie." Nicko offered me a chair and then I just smiled, I still get his offer."How are you? It's been a while since we talked." He said."I'm fine. I'm already fine even without you." I said and when I was about to leave he pulled my arms back into the chair."Why are you so mad at me Katie? You are the one who admitted it right? I was here to support you in that but what did you do? You left your talent agency, you left our company." He said."I left because my manager told me to admit but when I was about to hold it back, she said that it can no longer be back! It was permanent! My boyfriend didn't agree!" I said."So the rumors are true?" He asked."Yes, were now official." I said, he was shocked! I can see it through looking into his eyes."When will you going to upload our collaboration vlog?" He asked, he just changed our atmosphere to lessen the awkwardness."When my editor gets it done, It will be uploaded quickly." I said but it wasn't true. I already deleted the file."Katie. I'm sorry." He said out of nowhere."Why are you saying sorry?" I asked."You're name will always be close to my name forever." He said and I saecasrically laughed."It will never happened, maybe the issue will only last for over three months. It will never happened because Enrique will help me clean this." I said."Yeah, let's talk about Enrique? Is he treatinh you okay?" He asked."Of course, he always treat me right, he's a very good man." I said."I'm happy for you, I heard on our staffs that you two are finally official? Is it true?" Why is that Nicko sounds jealous?"Yes, were official, why are you asking?" I raised my brow."Nothing. Excuse me." He said before leaving."Hey Katie Megan, is it true?" Gabrielle quickly asked."Not yet but I'm hoping that this pretention would be true someday, and plus. He kissed me on the hotel, the night before the play." I said then Gabrielle put her hands on her mouth!"Oh my Gosh! Katie, can I ask? Where did he kissed you?" She playfully asked."Cheeks only Gabby." I said then a disappointment plastered on her eyes. Is she expecting that we kissed through our lips? Not yet, not this time!"I would be very happy for you if that happens in the future." She said before Nicko came back."Kate, your boyfriend." Nicko said and then point his fingers on Enrique, walking towards us."Katie! Why are you with this man?" He arrogantly asked while he was holding the collar of Nicko's polo."Why the hell is this man beside you? Huh?" He arrogantly asked again and I was trying to pull him while our other friends are also trying to pull Nicko."Quen... Let's go home, okay, don't mind him." I said while slowly caressing his arms."What? What did you say? How can I don't think so much about you if you were with this man." He said and finally let Nicko go."Let's go home." I said then pulled him out of the restaurant. I was also cleaning his wounds by an ice and a towel."I'm going to drive." I said then I drived, he wants to get into his house tonight, not on my condo."We're here." I said then take him off of my car. We quickly entered into his room. It's payback time!"Enrique! Why did you that in public? It was so embarrassing." I said."I'm just protecting you Babe." He sweetly said."Protecting from what? Why do you act this way? We don't have any relationship status right? Why are you doing this?" I asked him consequetively."I am doing this because I care for you and I love you!" He said and my feet get cold."H-huh?" My voice slowly cracked."I said, I'm only doing this because your parents said." He answered."Okay." I said out of frustration."I'm going to leave, I'll message you tomorrow instead." He said."Enrique, can I ask a favor?" I said and he immediately looked at me."What favor?" He asked."Could you please not do it in public?" I said."I'm sorry Katie, I can't promise that I will never do that again, bye." He said and waved his eyes before leaving."Kiko, Mommy is here." I said while looking for Kiko inside my room. I want to stay in the party but Enrique made a scene so I just go home, I will call Gabrielle later."Kiko, sweetie." I said when I finally saw him."Did Nanang fed you already?" I asked while cuddling with him."Arf!" He softly barked."I will take it as a yes Cutie." I said, "Wait a minute my little one, I'll just change my clothes." I added then moved at the comfort room and change my clothes as fast as I can."Kiko, come here, we're going to call Ninang Gabrielle." I said then he jumped over my bed."Arf! Arf!" He barked."Why?" I asked."Arf!" He barked again and ran on my window."What's that Kik—." My words didn't came out of my mouth when I saw that there was a hostage taking at the ground, outside my condominium unit building."Lord please take care of them." I whispered and I get my phone because it rang."Hi Katie, are you okay?" He concernly asked."Katie please, don't go out of your unit, there's a hostage taking outside, if you need something, just text me." He said."I know that there is a hostage taking outside, I'm on the terrace of my unit right now." I said and then I heard that he punched the wall."KATIE! GET INSIDE PLEASE!" He said and I laughed."Okay master!" I said before dropping his call, I don't feel it when I'm talking to him this night!"Did you hear it my baby Kiko? He is so concern to me right? Should I expect something? He said I love you to me earlier and he cares for me." I said while talking to my dog. He's not answering me because he is dog do I called my friend."Hi Gabrielle." I said when she answered the call."Why Kat? Is there something wrong happened to you? Are you okay? I've heard the news." She said."Yuh, I am super fine Gabby, I just want to say good night. I love you!" I said then I gave her a flying kiss before I drop the call."Let's sleep now my forever cutie, Little Kiko." I said and kiss him before I close my eyes.My dreams are already coming true, thank you so much our dear Lord. I know that my thank you is not still enough for everything that you are giving to me these days, I wish and hope that I could serve your church when the day comes."Yanna! Katie! Proceed to the front." Mr. Emmanuel said and then Yanna and I, immediately proceeded at the front of the boat."A little bit clingy to Katie, Yanna please, for publicity." Ms. Cindy said and then gave Yanna the selfie stick and we took some photos."Are we shooting the vlog today? Not yet right?" Yanna said."Yeah we're not yet shooting it today but can't you see your fans? They're around and there are a lot of media here, some artist fron different management are also here." Ms. Cindy said but then I go to my safe place, they will not say anything when I am with Enrique."Babe, can I get a kiss?" I loudly asked but my tone is sweet."I didn't expect to be become that sweet." He said while silently laughing and kissed me on my forehead."So sweet! Oh my gosh! Can't you feel it guys? The ants are biting us!" My stylist said and we just laughed, I slowly leaned into Enrique's chest."Are you tired?" He asked."No."
When we finally get out of the cave, I was so happy. We can finally go home. And sleep but before we sleep Yanna suggested to have a Truth or Dare game, it was spin the bottle."We're going to play spin the lucky bottle, and if who are the bottle tip pointing into will answer the question, okay?" Yanna explained and she immediately spinned the bottle."Okay Alexandria, truth or dare?" Yanna asked, I know that this girl have a plans to Ate Alexandria"Truth." Alexandria said."Okay, did you feel angry with Katie earlier?" Yanna asked and sarcastically laugh a little."Dare, instead." Alexandria said."Okay, could you kiss Enrique and slapped the girl you most hate in this circle." Alexandria immediately stand up and kiss Quen on his cheeks.I was so nervous because for all I is she was mad at me, maybe she's going to slapped me, but that thinking stopped when she came near to Yanna and slapped her 180°."I thought it was Kat
"Katie." I looked at my back again because I just noticed that there is someone calling for my name again."Why?" I asked him."Before we left Palawan, can I tell something to you today? Promise me that after this our treatment for each other will be the same again, okay?" He said so I just nodded."Okay." I said."I l-like y-you." He said and he immediately looked a way, seems like a shy boy."W-what?" I asked him back, even though I already feel it few days ago, I was still shock."I like you." He said again."Thank you?" I don't know what to say, is it good for me to say thank you to him for liking me? I think yes."Thank you?" He asked."Yes. Thank you for liking me." I said then I finally stood on the airplane, we are finally coming back into Manila. I totally miss my Little Kiko."Katie. Here is for you." I look at my back because Yanna called me."What's that?" I asked her."A fancy necklace f
"Katie, come! Let's drink some." My friend from Canada who just came here in the Philippines offered me a glass of tequila."Oh I'm sorry Gelli but I'm still not drinking liquor, that was bad for the health." I said and she laughed. What was funny in what I actually say? Is it bad to care for my health? For our health?"Katie, you are too childish. Here. Try it." She gave me that already so I don't have a choice. They might said that I'm a Kill Joy person."Why does it tastes like this? It's hot! It doesn't taste well!" I said and she gave me a lemon."It's Tequila, and this one is Black Label." Gelli said."Why does many people like liquor even if it doesn't taste so well?" I asked her and she laughed, until a man came at me."Katie." That was a familiar voice."Why are here? Are you stalking me? Don't stalk me anymore! I am not interested on you." I shout and everyone on the party screams."Just find another women Nickanor." The other guy sa
"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.
"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,
"Ms. Katie, what can you say about the rumors about you, Enrique, and Alexandria? It says there that you are the real girlfriend of Mr. Salazar."I almost froze when the media started asking me, where did they get those again? I and Enrique are not hanging out together in one place anymore, how come?Hotseat. Again."Where did you get all of this news?" I asked back, thinking if I will answer them the right answer."One person from our team have recorded you, you actually say there..." she paused for a while before playing that damn recording."Why does it seems that I am the villain on Alex and Enrique's team up? They're not even together. Why me? I am not the person to blame here and if we're gonna blame a person, it's Alex. She ruined my relationship with Enrique for that fucking publicity!"WHAT THE F*CK? IT'S REALLY MY VOICE! WHO THE HELL RECORDED THAT? I KNOW THAT IT WASN'T NICKO."Oum... I guess it's just edited... Because I don't know where
"Hi, Katie." I look at my back because some bitches called my name. They're three, one of them is Alex"Oh, hello! Are they your friends?" I asked her. I can control my mouth but cannot control my facial expressions."Yes, this one is Belle and this one is Daphne." She paused for a while."Hi Katie, it's so nice to meet you." The 2 girls said and I just smiled, after a few minutes they left, so I got into the rehearsal hall."Hey, Katie!" I saw Enrique standing in front of me."Oh hi," I just smiled lightly and then get a microphone."When did your love for me starts to fade away...All the love you've shown me, are they all just lies?Why didn't you tell me that there is someone else?It's me that you needed but not the whom you love..."I just sang it in a cappella and Enrique noticed it."Is that your song in the Knockout rounds? Who are you competing with?" He asked."It's a new song that I found on YouTube and the lyri
"Katie!" A loud voice enter my system before I felt that I fall on the ground, but the ground is soft, my body fall also on a body."N-Nicko?" I was slowly finding my self because of the noise that enter my system few minutes ago."If you have problems solve it on your own. DO.NOT.MAKE.ME.A.CRIMINAL!" The man on the van said and left us on the street."What's wrong, Katie?" He asked and helped me to stand up."Why does it seems that I am the villain on Alex and Enrique's team up? They're not even together. Why me? I am not the person to blame here and if we're gonna blame a person, it's Alex. She ruined my relationship with Enrique for that fucking publicity!""Kate... Let's just go... There are a lot of people here." He gave me a mask and take me on his car."Why are you here? Are you following me?" I asked while he was starting his car."I know this cases on the showbiz people Katie, there are a lot of Actor and Actresses experiencing this and so
"Good Morning, Katie and Alex!" Our manager greeted us with a whole smile, it's awkward."Good Morning, Sir!" We also greeted him back, I want to scream here! I am not comfortable yet!"I know what's going on with the two of you right now, so let's call Enrique. Quen, come in." I saw my ex boyfriend came out of the small room inside Sir Emmanuel's office."Kate... Alex... Sir Emmanuel." His baritone voice filled the room, he sat beside me. I wanted to shout!"Talk to them Enrique." Sir Emmanuel said."Sir Emmanuel, I thought you are only talking to me and Alex. This was not included in the memo that I received few days ago." I said."No, no Katie. I didn't say everything on the memo because I know that you will never come if I told you that Enrique will be here, right? But anyways, talk to each other first because the press are going to arrived in a few minutes. I'll be back." He said.Again, Mr. Emmanuel left me with no choice, this is so awkward,
Jane and I gave a wonderful performance, the audience have agreed that this was the best battles performances this season."Wow! Wow! Wow! Katie and Jane! You are so great, I hope this round will have a steal deal! What a performance guys!" Quen said and came closer to me."Jane, what can you say about your fans?" Quen asked Jane."I just wanna say thank you to all of them for coming here, I really appreciate them." That was a short but sweet message."How about you Katie?" He asked."Uhm, I just want to tell them that I also appreciate them, I love them and thank you for all of there support." I smiled."And now, you're done thanking your fandoms, let's go to the coaches." Quen said."Sha, could you choose Jane? So that I can steal Katie from you, please." Coach Lani said and I just laughed, Jane was also laughing."Coach Sha, please. So that we can get Katie from you." Coach Xiah said."Hey, could you please stop, let's start our commen
"Yanna, thank you for taking care of me and Kiko for last night, I really appreciate it." I said and hugged her, she's about to leave... No, were about to leave and I'm bringing Kiko on the studio, he's just going to stay at Mama Sha's dressing room because Mama requested for Kiko."Of course Katie, anytime. Would you mind to be on the management today with me for only 30 minutes?" She asked."Even if it's only for 15 minutes, I will not go with you, Alex was there." I said."Aw, I know that feeling Katie, I love you always, I love you. I'll go to your studio Love, I'll watch, what are you going to do? Are the battles starting today?" She asked."Yes, that's why I am nervous." I said."Nervous of the other contestants or nervous because you are fresh from break up and you're gonna see your ex in that place, am I right Megan Katerina?" She asked."Of course not, I can still breathe in the same air he breathes." I said and she laughed, after that, she take us into th
"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
"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
"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
