Chapter 10

It was early in the morning when I woke up with a really loud noise.

"Oh holy cow Señor!"

I immediately responds and I was shocked when I realize that is was Matthew.

"Is that your new way of saying good morning huh?" Matthew said rudely

"S-sorry, Matthew. It's just that I was so shocked to see you here, by the way what are you doing here?" I replied awkwardly.

"Fix yourself were going somewhere."

"Where are we going?"

"Why do you have to ask so many questions huh? Can you just do what I just said and you better hurry up I hate waiting. If you're done, go to the car I'll be waiting there."

It's been a month since my last session with Doc. Capistrano and she said that I am okay now. Matthew and I are civic. I'm not trembling when he's around but I'm nervous. I still don't know why.

Then he left me hanging in my room. After I get back to my senses I hurriedly take a shower and dressed up with a denim pants that has rip, loose shirt and sketchers.

When I finally come out I saw Matthew looking at me with a very serious face and intense look. I'm dead, he must be waiting there for so long.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

I receive no response from him and he left me hanging again, I just ignore him and went inside the car which he drives so fast that even my soul left behind.

"Are we chasing someone or someone is chasing us?"

He didn't response and remain focus on his driving. After a few hours of our journey that seems to be the last minute of my life, we've finally reached our destination. I was so shocked to see the beautiful scenery of Tagaytay and fall inlove with the beauty of it. (Tagaytay is another tourist spot in the Philippines)

"What are we doing here?"

"I have a work here, so grab all my things in the compartment." I am use to him asking me to do things but this is the first time he bring me to his work.

I immediately get his two big bags. I'm carrying many things when I saw Matthew talking to someone so I approached him.

"Finally Mr. Alejandre we've been waiting for you, I guess we already discussed last time what you're going to do today."

"Sorry I'm late it was really traffic,"

"It's okay, Mr. Alejandre. Let me guide you to your tent." I follow them.

I saw how people stare at him. Girls are giggling, boys are looking.

I put all his bags down at the chair I saw. He sat down in front of the mirror.

"M-mr. Alejandre." I think she's the make up artist. He just look at her. "I'm going to do your make up."

"I don't need to." He said with a strong voice. "It's just powder, Sir." He nodded and let her.

Then they guide him to change into a black suit. He looks so good especially now that his hair is fixed properly.

As I was watching and observing him, he look so professional while the camera man is taking him picture. Every shot is a masterpiece and everyone loves it. After a few hours and changes the photoshoot finally ends and as usual every photo's was absolutely beautiful.

"Hurry up and pack my things we're going home."

I didn't have the chance to talk to him the whole time. I started packing his things and put it back to the compartment. After that I quickly went inside the car since Matthew is already there waiting for me.

"Done?" I nodded.

"Make sure that all my things are packed and nothing is left behind."

I put my seatbelt on when he's doing his thing to go out of the parking lot. "What was the photoshoot for?"

"Bachelor magazine." I saw his magazine before at his office and I was so amaze how he looks so different in those magazine. If he's snob looking in person, it doubled at the magazines. You'll seldom see him smile.

Before I give response to him he drives his car as fast as he can like what he did earlier, as if someone is chasing us. We had a long trip and I'm so tired of everything I've done earlier so I decided to go to sleep.

I woke up because I'm starving and when I open my eyes I saw that Matthew just parked outside a expensive restaurant.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Why?"

"We're eating"

I bring twice. "It's okay. I'm not that hungry" I lied. "I insist, we'll eat."

"It's really okay and beside the restaurant seems to be expensive. I'll just stay here you can eat there if you want to."

"I'll treat you."

"No need to do that Señor I'm sure there's a food left in the house, I'm fine with that."

We fought for a few minutes because he keep on insisting to eat there. But at the end Matthew let me to just stay in the car and wait for him while he's eating inside.

"Fine, just wait here."

After he said that he went outside to the restaurant, that's when I feel that I was hungry but it's too late to tell him and I'm too shy to tell him.

To temporarily forget my hungriness I decided to go to sleep and suddenly feel that my head hurts.

I don't know what happened next but I suddenly woke up after hearing the car engine stops and that's when I realized that we're home.

"Sorry if I woke you up, we're here."

"Not really, alright I'll go ahead."

I went outside the car first but before I even enter the house I suddenly feel dizzy and hold the door of the car tightly.

"Careful Lorraine, are you okay?" Matthew said. "Yes, I think I just lost my balance."

"Here." He handed me a paper bag. "What is this for?" I took a peek what inside and it's all food.

"I know you're hungry, we haven't eaten anything after the photoshoot and beside I heard your tummy grumbled while you're sleeping." Then he went inside and left me hanging again for the third time.

"You don't need to do that but thank you for this." I shouted and hopefully he heard what I said.

I went straight to my room confused. As I opened the paper bag Matthew handed me I already smell the food and it smells so good.

I ate it and finished it up easily due to starving and it really taste so good. After cleaning my mess I quickly take a half bath and take a rest because I'm so tired for what happened today.
