CHAPTER SIX

It was a sunny sunday for me so I decided to take a walk on the alley near the beach.

The sun was up but not too hot, the weather was great!

I saw some group of friends, couples, families walking around also. I wish this day would not be ruined by him. I just wish I won't see him today.

"Hey Ms. Santos!" I heard a voice from a far, I turned my gaze to the person and I creased my forehead. It was him!

He ran towards me.

"I thought I couldn't catch you up." He said while panting a little bit because of running.

"What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?" I asked with coldness in it.

"Ah, no." He then chuckled.

I glanced at him for a while.

"Can I ask something?"

I nodded my head as a response.

"Why are you so mad at me? Did I do something wrong?"

Is he kidding me?! He broke my heart!

I rolled my eyes. "You look like someone from the past the broke my heart." I answered.

I looked at his reaction and it became serious.

"Who? Doesn't he knows who he lost?" I laughed on my mind. It's you!

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know, he seems crazy to me."

We stopped on an Ice Cream Parlor and went inside. I ordered my ice cream, while he on his own. We sat near the window area.

"So what do you for a living?" I said while scooping some ice cream on my spoon.

"I write, I draw." He said.

I nodded my head, he is good in it.

Speaking of that I haven't finished what I was reading on webtoon.

"Why do you keep following me?" I ask frankly.

He looked with his serious gaze.

"There's something in you that I know, I felt like I've known you before." He said.

I got confused all of the sudden, what does he meant by that? He obviously know me. I'm his ex.

After eating my ice cream, I bid my goodbye to him and left the parlor.

I occupied my mind by sketching some ideas, I need to erase him off my mind.

My phone rang and I answered it not knowing who's the caller.

"Hello." I greeted, I put my phone on my ear tilting my head to my shoulder for a support, I needed to get some stuff.

"Hi Win!" It's a woman's voice.

I arch my eyebrow for not recognizing the voice.

"Who's speaking?" I aske, i heard her chuckled by my reply.

"It's Vivoree! You're classmate in 2nd year high school?" I dropped my stuff immediately and focused on the caller.

How come i didn't recognize her?!

"Vivoreeee! How are you?" I asked, i leaned on the couch. My phone was still on my ears.

"I'm fine! Pursuing my dreams as a flight attendant. Did you continue yours?"

I said yes, we chatted over an hour before we hung up, we will meet next time if she'll have her vacant.

Months have passed and it's time for the portfolio checking, I passed mine way a head before deadline so I won't rush.

"Okay class for the semester final exam, we will be having a fashion show. I need you guys to have your own theme, design and model. As for the boys, females are your models and for the girls, male are your models are we clear?" The instructor asked. We all replied to yes before she head out from our classroom.

"This is exciting!" Nicole said.

"I wonder who'll be my model." I said, we went to the cafeteria to buy our lunch.

"Why don't you ask some of your friends?"

Maybe i'll call Eva for some help since she has many of it.

After our class I waited on the cafe to meet Eva, she still have her class but it will end soon. She said.

I ordered some choco moist cake with some caramel frappe.

I searched on my contact list in case I could have someone here to be my model.

I pouted when I saw his name.

I shook my head and hid my phone, I continued eating.

Thirty minutes had passed and I'm still waiting for Eva.

"Winonaaaa!" I heard someone called me.

It's Eva, Thank god!

She sat infront of me placing her bag beside her.

"So what's the prob?" She asked.

"Can you find me a model? A male model perhaps. I needed it for the fashion show." I asked her.

She nodded and smiled brightly.

"Alright! Maybe I could asked someone, do you already have some design?" I quickly shook my head.

"I need to see the model first before I could start the sketching. Maybe in 2 days? If you have someone to be it."

After our meet up we went home, I finished my night routine before going to bed.

"I'm so exhausted!" I muttered before laying down on my bed, ahh! This is what we call heaven. Me, my bed and my fluffy blanket.

I was about to sleep when I heard my phone rang beside. I took a glance at the caller before answering it, It's Eva.

"Hey Win!" She greeted as soon as I answered the call.

"What is it?" I asked.

I looked at the clock and it's already past ten in the evening, why is she calling? I'm sleepy!

"I've got your model!"

My sleepiness went away when I heard the news.

"What?! Really? Thank you!"

She told me that I could meet the model tomorrow at the same cafe, she'll talk to him about the time and location. I don't have class tomorrow so I agreed immediately.

The next day I woke up early so I won't be late on meeting him.

I ordered some pastry and coffee for the both of us, this is my first time having a male model since I always have females as my model and inspiration. I'm excited to do some sketching and do some ideas for him.

I got a text from Eva.

From: Eva

He's there, wearing a black longsleeve and white pants.

I replied.

To: Eva

Alright, thankies!

The chain door opened and It was Lienzo!

He has the same description from Eva, black longsleeves and white pants. Is he my model? Oh gosh! This is a disaster.

He walked towards my table with a grin on his.

My forehead creased.

"Hi Win, I'm glad to be your model." He said.

Seeing Lienzo again made me thought about our again, dang it! We were once a high school sweetheart, then all of the sudden we became strangers to each other, especially for him.
