Gabie's POV
Jehay: Besh!
Me: Do you mean five?
Taray, Jhay!There was still English, but it was just a commercial!
Me: Why were you called?
Jhay: Thank you.To remind you that you need to prepare clothes for the launch of your commercial! I thought I could.
I didn't let him finish what he was going to say because the truth was lost in my mind.
Me: Shit! Yes, by the way! But you reminded me: you really are the best! I lost it in my mind because I was focusing on the research I was finishing.
Jhay: No problem, my beshie!
Me: Isn't that formal?
Jhay: Yes, that's why I need to find a tux, even though I don't want tuxes because I prefer to wear a gown but I don't want to be embarrassed there.
Me: It's just like this. Tomorrow I'll go to school after my class and then we'll search together because on Tuesday that's really my idiot.
Jhay: Sure, why not? All right bye, we'll have kits tomorrow! Bye.
Me: Thank you. Bye.
I gasped for breath because of my stupidity.
"Do you need clothes?" mama who was obviously listening to what we were talking about.
"Yes, I forgot that we were going to attend the launch of my commercial on Tuesday."
"It's a pity if you just told me there were beautiful gowns there earlier in Divisoria, there will be something there for you to make sure."
"I have no plans to buy because it's a waste of money."
"It's a pity if you only rent and only use it once. Then there is a slight depression in the rent price and if you buy, you can use it later when you need a gown again. And if you don't use it again, you can rent it, right? That kind of kid is more practical, "he explained to me.
"Yeah," I thought to myself, "Mama is really right."
"All right, tomorrow I'll tell Jhay that we're just going to Divisoria."
"Do you have money? Because if you don't have money, you can use it. "
I boasted, "Mom, it's okay that I received my payment for the commercial, so I just haven't been able to go to the bank to withdraw it," I boasted, so mom laughed.
"Let us celebrate again tomorrow because I will be able to withdraw so that I can buy a gown and I will join our celebration. We can't celebrate after the launching because we might spend the night on the way home because they said there would be a party afterwards, "I explained.
"All right, you take care of it."
"We'll just buy food before we go home so we don't have to cook."
Miggy's POV
I woke up early not to go to work because I was on leave now for daddy's forty days. I suddenly remembered Gabriella. We hadn't mentioned it to her today because she couldn't go because mommy didn't know yet. So I planned to take him some other day so that he could visit daddy somehow.
They were ready when I got down and went to the kitchen to eat breakfast.
"Good morning!" I greet mommy, Carla, Meynard, and then the nanny, who is already eating.
"Good morning, son," mommy said, then I approached her to kiss her on the forehead.
"Good morning Alejandro Miguel," the nanny said. She's the only one who likes to call me by my full name. I also kissed her forehead when I approached.
"Good morning brother! Where is my kiss? " So he teased, so the nanny immediately beat him. I just laughed at him and then wrote like a child.
"Nay, si kuya nambebelat naman," he complained to the nanny.
"Stop! You were the first to annoy her, "So I laughed even more because the nanny scolded her, so mommy and Carla also stopped laughing.
"Good morning, sir," Carla said after she stopped laughing at Meynard, who was now sulking.
I sat on mommy's right side because she was sitting at the end of the table, then I sat next to the nanny because Carla and I were side by side on the other side of the table. While they were aunt and uncle, they allegedly left early to pick up the ordered flowers for the mausoleum and hoped that they would just go out to eat breakfast.
Look at that face of yours. You're pissed again in the morning, "I turned to Meynard.
My older brother started again, "the nanny just laughed at him."
"Mom, it's really obvious that I'm ah, only my older brother is always on your side while I'm your son," he scolded.
"Let me be your ally," mommy comforted her, so now she's the one who blindfolded me.
"Nanny Meynard scolded me," I complained to the nanny.
"I don't know about you two, you haven't changed, you're always teasing each other but your accusation is that you can only find an ally," the nanny said to us.
We laughed at his reaction, because when Meynard and I were always teasing him, he was the one who got the most frustrated. So that I would not be able to stay in his cramps, I hugged him shaking because we were sitting next to each other.
"Nanny, really, Meynard and I are just joking when we're not serious about our bullying, but you're always the first to get upset," I said to him sensibly.
For you children. "
"We're still young. I guess you're the only one getting older," I joked, but I was hit on the shoulder.
"Who says I'm old?" he said angrily, but the three of us were both just holding back our laughter because of what he said.
"Ay! I'm sorry, you're not getting older, I made a mistake. I'm sorry, you're just like mommy, aren't you mom? "
Mommy just laughed and didn't answer me.
"Ma'am, they said they were there. Ma'am Beth, texted me because you didn't answer her call," Carla said while holding her cellphone.
Mommy then immediately stood up.
"Let's go?" he asked us.
The three of them were in the same car, mommy, Carla and nanny, Meynard and I ended up in the same car and he drove.
When we got there, everything was in order, and my uncle ordered them to arrange flowers and chairs and tables. We are just waiting for the priest to take the lead in setting the table for daddy.
Because mommy and uncle were catering for lunch, everyone there had a party. Only a few were present, including, of course, uncle Rick and his wife, and other friends and colleagues. mommy in the showbiz industry. We were busy taking care of the guests, but I said goodbye to Mom after a longer conversation with the guests because I had to go to the office.
I was busy arriving at the office because there is a lot to do like every day we are here because of the respective projects that the agency handles for our large clients. Meynard and I had a good time because he was also doing other things, and I was the one who focused on the documents and I also answered a few emails.
There was also a last minute meeting for the launching to be held tomorrow for a commercial, Gabie's commercial. I prefer to work because I remember the woman who reminded me to feel positive, albeit the situation is negative. She always made me smile every time I remembered her beautiful face.
I'm in the office and I'm finishing a few folders that I didn't finish yesterday. The launching will be done later, so it's good that I finish it first so that tomorrow I can do something else. I also brought what I will wear later at the launch to save time because I will only be trapped in traffic if I go home to get dressed. The launching will be held in a hotel and will be hosted by our agency's client company assistant. After the launch, we will be able to watch the commercial on television regularly at the same time as the release of the product on the market.
Even though I'm still here in the office, my brain loves to go to the venue because I'm excited about seeing Gabie.
"I really hope I have a chance to talk to him later."
But it's still early and I still have some things to finish here in the office, especially since I didn't come in this morning and on Saturday morning so I was a bit overwhelmed with tasks. I should have just brought the folders home on Friday afternoon so that the new folders that were placed on my desk last Saturday and this morning would not be overwritten. The difficulty is when you are overwhelmed with things to do because instead of doing a little, it will increase and it will be difficult for you to do because you see that there is already a lot to do.
It was four o'clock when I decided to stop what I was doing to get ready. I needed to get dressed, so I told Meynard we were leaving early. I'm just going to get a room at the hotel where the launching will be held so I can get dressed there, I mean Meynard and I.
"You know, brother, I've been really wondering about you lately. I don't know if it's just because of the amount of trouble you have or is there some other reason? " She said this while we were both busy getting dressed. I only took one room but there are two beds because Meynard is no different from me and then the only important thing here is that we are at the hotel where the launching will take place.
"What do you mean?"
"Because I used to notice, it will be difficult to convince you to attend the launching. If you attend, you'll only be there for a while because you don't want gatherings like this anymore, you don't want a party because it's tiring for you to talk to a lot of people. "
"Yes, that's right. So, what's the problem? "
"This is the first time you've actually taken a room for us to get dressed, just so we won't be late for the launch. And besides, since we have a room here, you're probably ready to attend the party later. " I couldn't answer because the truth is I couldn't prepare an answer to his question.
"Did I really forget that he could ask me this? I'm a real fool! "
"Kuya? Hey!" He poked my side because I was dumbfounded facing the mirror as I adjusted the bow tie on my three-piece black suit while he in turn wore a black two-piece tuxedo.
"Huh?"
He put his hand on the side of his eyebrow. "You're an idiot brother, you're really bad," he said, putting his hand on the side of his eyebrow.
"I just remembered something," I blurted out.
"Who? 'Don't tell Gabriella because you know she's fine, you can just talk to her. I have a strong feeling that you have another reason, eh, I noticed that sometimes you were stunned but you look like you're smiling, "he teased.
"Nothing. You really are what you are thinking. "
"Ah, I know maybe you like something already? What, brother, do you know that you can trust me in many things? Then you know I can still help you, right? Yieee !!! " I close my eyes because I know he feels right.
"I know it won't take long for him to feel or notice me in my actions. I'm more nervous now. Is that how I really look? I don't have a problem with this anymore… "
"Ay! Oh, it's obvious on your face that you're confused! What? Tell me because you know I can help! " I looked at him from the mirror and then sighed, because it was early so we were not in a hurry.
"Yes!"
"What is it?" Do you already like something? Is that right? Who? " I bent down and closed my eyes again then whispered his name,
"Gabie."
"Who are you? Y-Yong's new endorser? Is it Gabie? Yes! Finally!"
"Hey! Shut up your noise! " I rebuke, eh, what if you scream and think you won the lottery with a jump.
"I'm just happy for you, brother! Since when? Hurray!That's why you were talking to him after the shooting while eating. You thought I didn't notice that because I was busy texting. "You're my brother! "he teased," he teased especially.
"I don't know, since I saw him at the audition, I can't take my eyes off him. There is something unique about her; she is simple and she is beautiful even without make-up, "I said.
"Luh! That is now an indication that you have been hit, your eyes are glowing! "
"But we're not sure yet because maybe she has a boyfriend," I said sadly.
"It's so simple, you ask!"
"Eh, what if you have a boyfriend?"
"It's just a boyfriend."
"You are crazy! You still really want to complicate everything. It's like I want to continue to regret why I told you, "I said.
"It's just a joke. You are so serious! "
"Come on! There are probably a lot of people there, "I said to him as I walked first.
But before we can take the elevator…
"Don't tempt me later because you can really taste me," I threatened. Then I saw him gesture with his mouth zipped.
Gabie's POV
"Son of a bitch! It's like we're stuck there! Alas, if we weren't dressed like this, I really wouldn't want to take a taxi! " My boyfriend complained.
"'Don't make any noise, we can't do anything here! Let's just be thankful that we got here safely. It wasn't the Uber driver's fault that his car stopped and then if we wait for the back-up we don't know what time we will get here, "I emphasized.
"Oh, first get the key to the room that is for you so that we can go up first, we need to fix your make-up. If you agree to their offer to dress here, it won't be easier. "
"I don't want to be so absent from my class, you know that, it's a pity."
"Yes, come on!"
"Wait a minute, maybe we won't be late yet," I complained.
"How come atat?"
At school, I got dressed because we would cry in time if we went home. So what happened was Jhay came to the house earlier to pick up my things while I was at school, then he went to school for me to get dressed and there I also put on light make-up. I am now wearing a "Sexy O Neck Tank", a Sleeveless, Backless Skin Tone Mermaid Floor Length Dress, and I paired it with skin-tone three-inch strap sandals. Then my hair is in a low ponytail.
Jhay immediately put down the bag he was carrying on the bed after we entered the room reserved for me. I would have dressed and fixed it here, but since I had work to do, I canceled it. But Neri texted Jhay earlier that she wasn't canceling the room just in case we could sleep here because it was really in the budget.
"Bongga! Others are really famous! Taray! " when he looked around the room while I was immediately in front of the salami to retouch.
I hurried to the cr.
When I came out of cr, I ignored what I said because he was busy taking selfies.
"Susme! That's why!" only I could say.
"Let it be just once because it's IG lika picture muna tayo bago tayo bumaba, bilis! "I want Aunt Beauty to see her one and only daughter," she says.I didn't protest anymore because she was right that we should have a picture because mama didn't see me wearing it now. It's different because what I just measured is different than the actual one. So we took a few pictures first and then we went down.
"Neri texted asking if we're here yet," Jhay said.
"Reply," I ordered, while trying to calm myself down because I was really nervous. I'm still not used to attending such gatherings.
"It's over, oh, there, it's sent. Come on, "he said, so I took his arm.
"As for the coldness of your hand, just calm down, you might faint here, it's a pity it's nice and you'll be fine tonight if you just faint. Remember that your commercial will be launched today, so get organized, "he whispered to me as we walked. We had just entered the venue when we saw Neri waiting for us near the door. There were already a lot of people.
"Ay! How beautiful you are! "he praised. At once, I was tired of looking from head to toe.
"Thank you."
"Your dress is your thing!" he added with a big smile on his lips.
I only replied, "Thank you."
"Come here, let's go. The bosses are looking for you because you need to be introduced there." he said as he walked ahead of us. We, on the other hand, just followed him.
"Besh! Your crush is handsome! " Jhay immediately whispered to me when we saw Sir Miguel.
"Stop! 'Don't be fooled!' I chastise you.
"She is really yummy! Then it just looks like he smells so bad! Besh, I'm the one who fainted here, so many handsome people, "when he looked around.
"He said 'don't be embarrassed, it's embarrassing, please stop," I scolded him again.
"Sir!" Neri called out when he called out to Sir Miguel.
"Yes, Neri?"
Gabie and Jhay are already here; it's up to you to introduce them to the bosses. "They left without saying goodbye."
Hi!" Sir Miguel greeted us.
"Hi sir! Good evening, "Jhay and I greeted the two of them with him.
"You look so lovely tonight, Gabie!" He was proud of me that I did not remember his name.
"Thank you," I replied shyly.
"Ah, Jhay, maybe you want some wine. I can go with you to get exactly what I'm drinking. You sir, do you want more wine? " Sir Miguel's companion asked Jhay.
"Sure sir."
"Will he really leave me? I haven't really looked at you until you broke up with me later! "
"It's just Meynard, you can be very mean to me. I was still young and I was not comfortable being called sir, "he explained as they walked away from us.
"Ah, his name is Meynard."
Sir Miguel suddenly asked me, "Are you okay?"
"Huh? Um, of course, yes, I know this, why it's something known. I'm not used to such things. "
"Just relax. Just now I saw you nervous, but then you were in front of the camera. You looked very natural. It looks like you're already used to it, which is good because the result was good because look at your commercial that will be launched tonight. "
"Luh! I was nervous then, but I just had to be brave because the need was so great, "I laughed so as not to notice the intensity of my nervousness.
"Well, it has a good effect on you, not obvious infainess," he praised.
"Thank you for that."
"Stop using 'po' when you're talking to me. I guess I'm not that old to look at. I may be older than you, but I believe it's only a few years old.
"Okay."
"Thank you. By the way, you can call me Miggy. I'm only twenty-five and you're? "
"I'm twenty-one turning twenty-two."
"You see, I got it right. I am only a few years older than you, "we both laughed softly.
