French Kiss in Paris

Chapter 19

Chapter19

If I'm going to summarize my stay in the Corprew's, I felt like I was a third-party. All through day and night, kasama namin si Amauree. Wala namang masama ro'n. She's pretty and nice pero nababahala lang ako kasi parang wala lang kay Cashel 'yong halikan nila no'ng isang gabi. Hindi rin niya sinabi sa akin iyon. I saw it in my own eyes, I guess, he still has his feelings for her.

At wala akong magagawa ro'n.

If his mind only set to kiss me in front of the public's eyes and kiss someone behind my back, that's totally fine for me. May kaunting saksak lang sa puso. Hindi ako super hurt, mild pain lang. I knew this would happen before I accepted his proposal.

Ganito rin naman ang buhay sa showbiz sa Pinas. Kapag maganda ang takbo ng career with an on-screen partner, that should stay as long as people love to see it. But behind all those things, of course, may mga private stuff din kaming pinagkakaabalahan and this is one of them.

Hindi ko na naman sinabi kay Cashel ang nakita ko. Kailangan siya ang magsabi no'n sa akin o magmumukha akong atrimidida. Hindi dapat ako nangingialam sa gusto niyang gawin. We're just friends.

What I actually noticed, Cashel has been more close to Amauree since we got here. The only thing I know was they were childhood friends, got together when they were in high school, almost got married. I guess that's enough to stop thinking about our possibilities when I'm also after the benefits of what we are right now.

Kung mag-gagamitan lang din naman pala kami, susulitin ko na.

Someone already caught my eye other than him and he's gorgeous.

I've been furiously checking Chevy's Instagram profile at alam kong napapansin iyon ni Cashel. I'm just not saying anything to him dahil baka kung anong isipin niya. I'm not sure kung bakit hindi niya kilala when I mentioned him when they were following each other.

Just that when I knew that's Chevy might be a model too. He's posting professional photoshoots, as well. Most of his posts are sponsored, too. Just like what Cashel does, aside from modelling, hindi na niya kailangan pa ng raket o kung ano man. He's already winning a lot of money and attention on his profile. He has roughly four million followers and his posts mostly estimated from five hundred thousand to a million. I mean, how could he be ever famous with that?

I'm also reaching half a million followers and it's crazy how fast it changes my whole life. I maybe owe it to Cashel but works are on me now. And talking to Chevy isn't cheating, right? Even though he has a strong accent, he's sweet and I'm still living those words he left for me.

Chevy's a cutie—and a hunk. I can't wait to see him again.

"So, Cosette?" napalingon ako sa tumawag ng pangalan ko. It's Amauree. "What about you? What do you think about it?"

Napakunot-noo naman ako sa tanong niya. Buong pagtataka ang bumalot sa mukha ko.

"Ah, what is it?" I asked.

Cashel laughed. "Look who's not here with us. So, absent-mindedly, Cosette? What are you doing on your phone?"

"Yeah, take a bite of those macaroons I made," Amauree said, opening the box of macaroons she bought for us.

I took a piece of pink macaroon from the box and had a quick bite para makita nilang kinakain ko talaga. Hindi ko talaga alam kung bakit isinama pa nila akong dalawa kung maghaharutan lang din pala sila sa harapan ko.

Hello, Cashel? You're supposed to be flirting with me instead of kissing her. But who am I to go against their friendship. Teka, friendship nga ba?  Isang malaking joke. Though joke din naman ang meron kami ni Cashel, does he really likes to play this card? Weirdo.
