"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 said."Quiet my friends, let's go Katie. I'm taking you out of here." He said but I refused to come."Why!? Why are you taking me out! I want to stay here! You! If you want to go home! Then go home!" I souted."Katie, you won't understand me." He said."Yes, I will never understand you so go! Leave!" He deeply sighed before going out of the place."Who is that man? A boyfriend? You have lovers quarrel?" Why are all of them think that Nicko and I are in a relationship? It's kinda yuck!"I don't even know that man. And he is not my type, I like someone else. Not him." I said."Yeah we know that, it's Enrique Lacap right? The singer." My friend said and I smiled."Yes, he is the man that I like but eventualy he is making me jealous. That is the main reason why I am here in the party with all of you." I point my fingers anywhere and ran into the dancefloor. I danced. Seems like my problems are thrown away at this moment."I love you but why are you hurting my feelings?" I screamed."Katie." My friend called but I don't want anyone to disturb me. I'm having a fun night!"What did you see? Is it Enrique with someone else?" My friend asked."Yes. Enrique with the great Alexandria Sayson! Am I not enough?" I raised my voice."So you are jealous? Why are you jealous? Are you and Enrique in a relationship?" She asked."We are not in a relationship but I like him enough for us to be in a relationship. And after all, Enrique confessed that he have feelings for me!" I proudly said."He just confessed sweet heart. You don't have an assurance that he have plans in marrying you in the future." She calmly said."But he already made a promise to my family. And he's always saying that she'll never kiss me until we get married but we already have a kiss at the hotel, the night before the play." I said."That means he is going to marry me, he's going to marry me." I jump all over again on the dance floor until a I smell a manly scent on my back."Katie. What's this? Let's go home please." He said and hugged me from my back."Let's go home Babe. I don't wanna lose you. I am sorry." He said and I faced him."I'm sorry." He said when our eyes met."Let's go home okay?" He said and he gave his hands on my and I take it."Don't be sad Katie." He said while driving, he's holding my left hand."We're here." I finally looked the room number and noticed that it was mine. When he was about to put me on the bed because I can't even walk. I pulled him."I want you." I said and tried to kiss him but he didn't take that kiss."No, you don't. You are just drunk Katie." He said and I pulled him again."Maybe I am drunk Quen but I know what I am doing." I said."Katie. Just sleep okay. It's not you. It is the alcohol that was on your system." He said and get out of my room.I just woke up when my alarm clock rang. I stand up and I felt that my head is aching. I don't remember what I did last night. But I know that this room is mine. But the question is, who brought me here?I get into the C.R and get my mouthwash. I smell that there is an alcohol on my mouth. Did I just drink last night?"Oh! Good you are awake. Good morning." A familiar man get inside of my condo."Here is your breakfast, I brought it here because I thought maybe you still couldn't stand up." He said and put the tray on my small table."Enrique, whay did I do last night? Did I do something horrible? Something that you are not comfortable?" I asked."Nothing, but you attempted to kiss me. But nothing happened Katie. I swear." He said and I immediately nod."Okay, I believe you." I said and get my breakfast."Enrique, where is my puppy?" I asked when I didn't see Kiko playing inside my room."He is outside." Enrique answered cassualy."By the was Quen, I'm going out with my friends again this night." I said and smiled, I feel that he came beside me."Don't go out again if I am not with you, you might be in danger since you still don't know some streets in the Philippines." He said."My friends know it already." I said."Really? They came from Canada too right? How did they know about the streets here?" He asked."G****e Search." I said."Katie, please, don't be hard headed." He said ang hold the right part of my cheek."I am not hard headed." I pleaded."Katie please. I've hears something about the party last night. There is someone who put some party drugs on your drinks so you are acting like that." He said."Who is this asshole?" I asked."My team are currently investigating about the issue and they suggest you to have a body guards." He said."I can protect my self, it's a waste of money." I said."If that was for your safety, it wouldn't be a waste of money." He said."I have a future to save for Quen, having a body guards are still not my priority." I said and then get the tray."Then I will hire for you." He said and tap something on his phone."Hire for the great Alexandria Sayson!" I said."Hey Katie, come on, Alex is just a friend of mine. Nothing special." He said."I don't believe you." I said."Don't be too insecure okay? You are a nice person. Good attitide and a bonus prettu face." He said before my little poodle barked."Kiko, did you miss Mom?" I asked him and he barked."Kiko really missed you." He said."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,
"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
"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
