Ms. Artista (Book 2)

Fifty Two

"Bakit ngayon lang kayo?"

I had no idea that Pen would greet me with such an embarrassing statement.

Damn. Hester and I are late because we... you know. We made love because we were too hot, shit.

"Natulog kayo 'no?" Kian asked us while smirking.

"Y-Yes, we slept." I answered. I want to roll my eyes when I saw Kian fist bombing my boyfriend.

So, he knew? Damn it.

"How's the sleep, huh?" Lexi smirked at me. I quickly glared at her that's why she laughed.

"Sleep pala, okay." Kleo also teased me.

Oh, God. Are they really my friends?

"Sus, ano kayo mga bata? Sleep lang? Huwag kami!" Pen immediately teased us.

Oh-no, wala ng tigil ang bibig niyan!

"Sabihin niyo na, nag-sex kayo 'n—"

"Pen!" tinakpan ko agad ang bibig niya.

Fuck! She's so noisy!

"Darling, sshh daw." hinila ni Kian si Pen, "Huwag mo na silang asarin, ang pula na ng mukha ni Francine, oh."

I immediately locked my gaze on him.

Argh! Bahala sila diyan. Kakain na lang ako!

"Love!" Hester laughed while following me. I proceeded straight to the buffet table and took a plate for myself.

My friends laughed too as they trailed behind us. Now everyone is getting their food.

Argh. Thank, God. Hindi na nila kami inaasar.

"Love, look. It's cordon bleu, your favorite." nilagyan niya ako ng maraming cordon bleu sa plato.

"I can't eat all of this, love." reklamo ko dahil ang dami niya naman nilagay.

"I'll eat your leftovers, of course." he answered that's why I smiled.

While I was occupied getting my food. I noticed a distant figure staring at me. I can feel it, that strong stare, which is why I turned my head to look at that person. But when I turned around, she was gone.

Fuck. Is she here? She was following me?

"What's wrong?" Hester immediately asked me.

I smiled, "Nothing." I answered.

Bumalik na agad ako sa table namin dahil bigla akong kinabahan. Damn. She's here, in this hotel. What should I d—

My phone abruptly vibrated.

Fuck.

Even though my heart was racing from nervousness, I still pressed her text message.

'Hi there, gorgeous. Did you missed me?'

Damn.

It's her. It's fucking her.

"Love, are you okay?"

Mabilis kong itinago ang cellphone ko. "Y-Yeah." I answered while smiling. "I'll just call someone, excuse me." paalam ko sa kanya at sa mga kaibigan namin bago ako nag-lakad palapit sa hallway.

Nang makalayo na ako, tinawagan ko agad si Agent Lorenzo.

[Hello, Francine? Why?]

I bit my lower lip, "She's here, Agent Lorenzo. She followed me. I could feel her stares, and she had just texted me. W-What should I do? I'm so scared."
