“Lieo!” I excitedly call him.
I can’t help smiling after the confession that Andrew did earlier. I am feeling so happy.
When I saw Lieo’s text I can’t help but to call him to share him the good news!
‘Yes? We just parted and it seems like you miss me already?!’
I rolled my eyes. Omg! Spell thick face L-I-E-O.
“Whatever Lieo! Its not that. Lieo he went here and he told me that he like me!!!” I can’t help but to scream a little because I really feel so giddy.
‘Who is he?’
“Who do you think it is?!” He’s asking a very obvious question.
‘Andrew?’
I chuckled. I almost imagine what he look like when he realized the person I was referring to.
“Yes! OMG! Until now I can’t still believe it.” I said the excitement in my voice is still there.
‘Can you enlighten me? What really happen?’
I calmed myself first then I told him everything that happen earlier after he sent me home. The sudden appearance of Andrew and his confession about his feelings for me.
“You can now rest assured because you don’t have a love rival anymore.” I happily told him.
‘Are you really happy?’
“Super!” I said still can’t removed the big smile in my face.
I always longed for this moment to happen. I didn’t expect that I will be this happy.
‘I’m happy for you.’
“Thanks Lieo. You’re my new guy best friend. Thanks for listening. Bye.”

I still can’t believe that what happen right now is real and not a dream.
Andrew invited me to go out but I need to declined because I will busy preparing the things that Vince will be needing for his taping tomorrow. But that didn’t stop Andrew to start courting me.
We were having breakfast with my family when Andrew arrived. He had a bouquet of roses with him. I thought that those roses are for me but I was shocked when he went to my mom, he kiss my mom on her cheek and he gave the bouquet to her.
“Auntie this flowers is for you.” Andrew said smiling at my mom.
All our jaw dropped from what Andrew did.
My dad cleared his throat. “Excuse me Andrew but you can’t steal my wife. My wife is very much in love with me.”
We all chuckled from dad’s warning to Andrew.
“No uncle don’t worry I won’t steal auntie from you. I am here to asked for your permission. Uncle, auntie I want to court your daughter Allison. I actually wanted to asked you first but something happened that’s why I said it my intention to Allison first.” He said seriously.
I can’t help but smiled from what he said. I am touch and my heart flutters from what he did. I actually wanted to cry but I controlled because I don’t want to give my cousin a reason to tease me.
I look at my parents reaction. Honestly, I am so nervous. I can’t help but think that they might not like Andrew for me because they prefer Vince because of our business.
I saw my mom look at me and Andrew the she smiled at the both of us.
“You are a good guy Andrew. I know that you will not go here and ask for our permission if you are not serious with my daughter. But I will leave the decision to my daughter. As long as she is happy, we will give our full support.” My mom said sincerely.
My dad again cleared his throat. “Just make sure that you will not make my daughter cry.” My dad said in a serious and authoritative voice
Andrew smiled at them and look like as if
Andrew smiled as if he had been pulled out by a huge thorn. “Don’t worry uncle and auntie I promise that I will love her forever and I will do everything just to protect her and not to make her hurt or cry.”
“Wow! You are that confident that my cousin will accept you Andrew!” My cousin butt in.
My cousin as always ready to ruin the mood.

The call time was early so Andrew picked me up early. We plan to get Vince’s clothes for the shoot first before we pick up Anne.
The whole gang knew about what Andrew did that morning in our house that is why we were always receiving teased from them.
We have reached the set. I left Anne and Andrew in the tent first and started with my work.
And as usual Julia and Daniel keep on pushing me to Vince. No matter what I say that Vince and I are just friends they still do not want to believe me.
They were happy to tease me, because Vince never react either, he just let those two to continually tease us.
Julia noticed Anne and Andrew. “Hey are they a couple? In fairness they look good together.”
“You really think Julia that they look good together?” Vince asked her while giving me a teasing look.
I just rolled my eyes on him. Well I’m sorry to disappoint you Vince but I will not be affected to all his teasing. Aside from love is not jealous, I also trust Andrews word.
It only took a moment for the taping to begin. Just like me I could see in Anne’s eyes the radiance as she saw the actual shooting. Andrew, on the other hand, seems to be bored.
I approached him. “Drew are you okay?”
He smiled at me and nodded. “Don’t mind me I’m okay.”
I was about to leave when he took my hand. “Can you stay here with me please? They are still shooting.” He said softly.
Because of his sweetness, I couldn’t help but to feel my heart flutters from his sweet moves.
“And cut! Good take!” The director said.
Scene 1 is done, the actors are now on break because the staff will now preparing for the next scene.
While I am taking care of Vince’s needs.
After Vince change his clothes for the next scene, the makeup artist took care of him.
I was fixing Vince’s things when someone suddenly approached me.
“Hey!” He said.
I look at that person. I had a big smile when I saw who that person is.
“Lieo! I’m glad you came!” I told him with full smile on my face.
“Our deal don’t you date forget?!” He said to me.
I smile at him and nodded. “Okay don’t worry.”
Last night when I talked to him over the phone, I convince him to join us here for Anne’s sake. So that Lieo and Anne will have their moment alone together. And of course me and Andrew too.
