Found Again

BACK TOGETHER



“What are you saying?!”

Andrew went closer to me. “We never broke up baby. I gave you the time and space that you need to think. But I will never agree with the breakup.”

I glared at him and started to punch his chest. “You are telling me that we never broke up but you let me suffer for two years thinking that you and Anne are together! You never made an effort to explain to me and clear the issue!”

Andrew hugs me while I was punching him. “I just did.”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

The hug was so tight that I can’t raise my arms to punch him. “I hate you!”

“I know you don’t mean that. I miss you, baby.” He said then he kissed me on my forehead.

I miss him too. I said to myself. I don’t want to say it to him. I’m still angry with what he did. I was crying and suffering for two years with the wrong idea. I also wanted to blame myself for not asking for an explanation from anyone.

I should have trusted the love that Andrew has for me. But just like what Noah said, everything happens for a reason. If I ask for his explanation then the career that I built in America will not happen. Stellar will not exist.

My only concern now is Anne’s reaction a while ago. I know what I saw from her eyes. It was pain and sadness. If they are not together, then why is she hurting? Or did I just see it wrong?

I was back from reality when I felt Andrew’s hand squeezing mine. I look at him.

“Let’s go, baby. They are waiting for us.” He said.

“Did my parents know your real relationship with Anne?” I curiously ask because I can’t believe that they didn’t tell me about it. They knew it was the reason why I decided to stay in the US.

Andrew shrugged. “We never talk about it. But I think your cousin has already cleared the issue with them. That’s why they allow me to have this time with you today.”

It makes sense on his part but not on mine. I need to talk to my parents later. I want everything to be cleared.

“Did you guys already make up?” Mike asked when he saw us coming to the dining area.

Andrew lifts our hands to show them as proof that we are back together.

“That was fast. I’m a bit disappointed with you Alli!” My evil cousin commented.

I glared at him, still angry with how he meddle with my affair with Andrew. “Remind me that I will kill you later,” I told him in a cold voice.

The group laughed at what I said. I was angrier with him than Andrew.

We had a peaceful lunch. They were all excited to ask me about my experiences, especially with some of the celebrities that I interviewed. Iya expresses her envy at my job. Most of the celebrities I’ve met were her favorite. I promise her that I will introduce them to her when we go to America.

We were chilling out at the pool area when Iya scream all of a sudden.

“OMG! AndrewLopezOnStellar is trending not just here in the Philippines but also worldwide!” Iya announced.

Why am I not surprised by her news? I am sure that Lance’s trivia with the fans a while ago will be a big deal.

I grab my phone and click the Twitter app to check their tweet. I smirk when I saw the trending list.

“I guess Andrew’s not the only one on the trending list. Lance and Gelo are also on the list.” I said then I show them my phone.

The group started to check their phone to check the tweets. As expected, the reason why they are trending is because of their look.

One tweet got my attention. It says ‘Andrew and Allison’s cousin had a band. I got that from a reliable source.’

My heart suddenly pounded hard. I was a bit scared of what other private information they can get from Andrew. Will they also find out about my relationship with him?

“Where do you think they got the news about your band?” I asked.

“It’s not surprising. We were actively doing gigs during college.” Vince said.

My eyes widen. “And what’s the name of your band when you were in college?” I asked nervously.

Vince’s brow furrowed. “We already told you our band name.” His mouth formed “o” I think he got what I mean. “We never use any other name but that.”

Iya and Anne were a bit lost. They didn’t know the name of their band.

“Can you include us in the topic? I mean, we also want to be on the same page with you guys.” Iya said.

The boys burst out laughing that made them earn a glare from Iya.

“Let me explain to you girls. This name this band in Alli’s name. It was because of her why our band existed. Whenever Lance was down because of the false lead from Alli’s whereabouts, we ask him to play music with us.” Lieo explained to them.

“Who thought of Allison’s name?” Iya’s follow-up question.

The boys all look at Andrew. Iya screams in excitement. She was always rooting for us since then. I look at Anne and I saw her averted her gaze from me and Andrew. Something is not right with her. And even though the issue has been cleared, the awkwardness between us was still there.

“OMG! It’s you who named your band after Allison?! If this is not destiny then I don’t know what you guys call it!” Iya said while giggling.

I can’t hide the joy in my face. I like what Iya just said. I also want to claim that Andrew is destined for me.

“If people will find out about your band name, they might also find out about Andrew and Alli’s relationship,” Iya commented.

The fear that I felt a while ago returned. I don’t want people to find out about my relationship with Andrew. The fans are possessive. I don’t want to be bashed by them. I am not being selfish here, I’m worried for Stellar. My channel and magazine are not mine alone. I have team members that I need to protect and consider.

“I doubt it.” Vince confidently said.

“How sure are you about that?” Iya asked.

“I was the one who got a link with Alli. If ever they will suspect that Allis is dating one of the members of the band, they will probably think that it’s me and not Andrew. Andrew was a private person until he got into showbiz and the media keeps on saying that Anne is his rumored girlfriend.” Vince explains in more detail.

I honestly felt better after hearing Vince’s explanation.

“Why do you look like you were happy being linked with Vince than mine?” Andrew snort.

I chuckled and hug him on the side. “I’m sorry. I just felt relieved with Vince’s explanation.”

Andrew looked angry at my side. “You really prefer to be linked with him than me?” He said in disbelief.

I bit my lower lip feeling guilty. “I’m sorry baby, it’s just that being linked with Vince is easier to deny because we are not really dating unlike us.”

“So you are telling me that if ever you were asked if I am your boyfriend, you have plans to deny me?” He asked.

I was a bit uneasy but I need to be honest with him. I also want him to understand my reason why I want my relationship with him to be a secret.

“Yes. I’m sorry.”
