Investments for Love (Completed)

Fifty Five

Even if the doctor declares that Dani is out of danger,  James prefers to stay by her side. Dani was recovering fast and her doctors are happy about it.

"Wala ka bang work bibi boy? Parang hindi ka na umuuwi ah" Dani asked when she had a chance to be alone in her hospital room with her boyfriend

"Ayaw mo bang nandito ako?" James asked in return

"Hindi naman ganon yun. Ayoko ko lang na pababayaan mo ang trabaho mo dahil sa akin" Dani replied

"I asked for a leave, until you are fully recovered" he declared.

"Ok naman na ako, sabi ni dok pwede na akong lumabas in two days." Dani said

"Kahit pa gusto ko pa ring alagaan ka. Gusto kong masiguro na sobrang magaling ka na talaga. I will go back to work only when the cast is removed. Dad is taking care of the restaurant construction anyway" James said.

"Gusto mo ba ng proof na magaling na talaga ako?" Dani asked beaming

"Ano na naman yang iniisip mo?" James asked

"Wala akong iniisip. Tinatanong lang kita if you need proof na ok na talaga ako" Dani said

"Sige na nga, patingin na nyang proof na yan" James said

"I am willing to listen if you tell me about Jenny" Dani said and James was left dumbfounded. "I know who Jenny is. Five years mo na kaya akong stalker"

'Nastalk mo na pala ako eh, ano pa ang ikukwento ko?" James said

"Baka lang meron ka pang hindi nasasabi sa akin tungkol sa kanya" Dani replied.

"Kung stalker kita talaga, malamang alam mo na ang tungkol sa kanya. Lahat naman ng tungkol sa kanya nailabas na rin sa media nung kabilang network when I started to make it big. That was when they started digging in to something that might help hinder my stardom" James said "Isa lang ang hindi at yun ang sasabihin ko sa yo" he added

"Akalain mo, may naitago ka pa pala. Sige nga give me the honor to know it before anyone else does. What is it?" Dani said

"What we talked about before you saw us in Maggie's shop" James said.

"You don't need to tell me. That's between you and her" She said "I will not insist on knowing kung ano ang pinag-usapan nyo. I am respecting your privacy like how I asked for mine"

"But I want to tell you. Hindi ko naman itatago eh. The day that we met, I called you first to tell you about her invitation but you were out of reach. So I sent you a message, asking you to tell me when can I possibly call you. I really don't want to meet her na hindi mo alam. I waited for your message but I did not received any and she has been bugging me, so I decided to accept her invitation para hindi na rin nya ako kulitin. Sabi ko sasabihin ko agad sa yo as soon as makapag usap tayo" James said.

"I was out of reach kasi nasa plane na ako" she said. "But I called you several times when I arrived and you did not answer"

"Because I left my phone in the car" James explained

"Sobrang excited ka ba to see her again kaya nakalimutan mo phone mo sa kotse?" She sarcastically asked.

"Ang kulit kasi ni Jenny tanong nang tanong kung nasaan na ako o kung papunta na ba talaga ako. Eh napapraning na nga ako dahil 7pm na wala pa rin akong message na nareceive from you. Everytime na mag beep ang phone ko para akong sira na nagmamadali sa pag checkng phone thinking na ikaw na yun. Only to find out na hindi galing sa yo ang message. Sa sobrang frustration ko, nilapag ko na lang sa passenger seat. Until nakalimutan ko nang dalhin kakaisip kung anong nangyari sa yo at hindi ka narereply sa message ko" James said.
