Napa buntong hininga ako nang makita ang papeles na kailangan kong pirmahan. Isang linggo na ang nakalipas simila nung party at hindi ko nirereplyan ang messages ni Sandro.

Talk to me please..

Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko sa totoo lang. Sa sinabi ni Lorraine, parang nag back out na naman ako dahil naalala ko na naman ang nangyari saamin ni Sandro. Sya lang ang tanging dahilan kung baket kami nag kawatak watak.

"Lalim ng iniisip mo" Sabi ni Leo pagkapasok sa hotel room ko.

"Itutuloy ko pa ba 'to? parang ayoko na eh.." I said.

"Malaking client ng parents mo ang mga Dizon. Ituloy mo, wag ka mag alala. Nandito naman kami eh." Sagot nya saakin.

"Alam mo, i feel scared whenever I see him with Lorraine." I spoke.

"N-Not that I'm threatened, but the trauma they gave me.." I added.

"Athena, do I have a chance?" he suddenly asked.

"Huh?" I replied.

"Do i have a chance?" He asked again.

"Leo, you know what my response will be-"

"I know, Athena." He smiled. "It's alright, i understand."

"Leo, you know what i mean naman diba-"

He held my hand. "Okay lang. I have to go." He went out the room and I was left all alone again.

A few hours has passed and I was alone. I was about to sleep when I heard a knock on my hotel room. I peeked thru the hole and was shocked to see Sandro. I immediately opened the door and the foul smell of alcohol reeked in his body. He was wearing a white button up shirt but he still looked handsome even if his shirt was already wrinkled. "Athena, are you mad?" He asked.
