A New Start

Le Ruisseau Burge Point has the best burgers I have tasted, with green leafy salad on the side, the unique wooden crafty finish of this burger joints walls are awesome. Burgers and vegetables doesn't seem to match when my taste bud's concerned. With this joint, they seem to perfectly match veges and burgers together, and it's amazing. Hmm! I can smell and taste them now! Gin said dreamily while drooling over the tasty thought.

Rrrrng…rrrrng!, Yes!, yeah! No, really! Vina, who? Roger (my smart and loyal personal assistant/ trusted talent scout), can you briefly send me details of this, Vina Vedra. Hmph! Clink (as email being sent by Roger online on my cellphone) I wonder what this Vina looks like. Oh wow! She is indeed gorgeous, long blonde hair, a body like Jennifer Lawrence, face like Keira Knightley and hot talent like Fergie (I thought watching her sing with a live band in one of her gigs in a bar). A one of a hell like package, amazing!!!. At 19 years. She must have had experiences from other handlers or producers before. What can a world renowned producer like me, ask for, but… Okay! Sign her up, but before doing that Roger. Set the day for the contract signing. I want to talk to her personally. And please check on our other artists and forward their details, album sales and all, so I can check them out. Anyway, I trust you have been doing well organizing and following up on sales quotas, blah, blah 2x. Haha!. Why I hired you!, I added laughing but so confident and satisfied with my new found artist. Thank you Roger!, you are an angel. Check on your account for an early commission. I am just delighted you found this girl, I retorted while ticking on my cell transferring money to Roger's bank account. Clink!, the sound confirming that money was transferred to his account. I heard Roger shouting, thanking me on the other line, didn't wait for him to say anything more, I instantly dropped the call and gave a wide smile.

Ha..ha..haah…haah!, Alex is humping, breathing hard while jogging on her last lap. She decided to run a bit since it's been a while since she did so. Writing her blog about Paris made her head spin and since unmotivated because of Edmund's passing and all. She can't focus much on her passion.

Well!, they say that I can use pain and heart ache as a driving force to inspire me in delivering a good piece or an article. Hmp! I hope that's the case. I feel so dried up inside. Running can clear my mind and it seems doing its wonders now. Haaay!..haaa…haaah Okay, too much for exercising!, time to clean up. I have a date to attend to, I said while delicately wiping the sweat all over my face and neck. Now I am walking my way up to my room at the hotel, to take a quick shower. Where are we going to go later? I wonder where would Gin take me this time!, I added while drying my hair, wearing my bath robe after a warm refreshing bath. Alex is looking straight in the mirror when a beautiful but angry woman appeared and…ugh! aahhh! She is carrying a small gun, a pocket pistol which one can take as a toy gun and about to hurt Alex, but, since Alex knows taekwondo, she immediately blocked the attack and held the woman's hand into a lock, losing the grip of the gun. Wha…what??? Who are you? And what are you to Edmund?, I asked the lady carefully. Because of you, I lost Edmund, my beloved Edmund…I am Helena, his girlfriend. I should've been the one he was supposed to marry, until, you came. You bitch, let go of my hands! Oh! Helena, right, I remember now, you are the woman at the funeral. I am sorry, but I didn't want anything bad to happen to him too, I added while still gripping her hands . I spotted a hanky, grabbed it immediately and tied it over her both hands that are shaking profusely now. Helena continues to cry and mumble words I couldn't understand. I can only hear Edmund's name and finally got tired of the struggle, she sat on the floor crying her heart out. Sadly, I needed to dial my room's phone to call for help and the hotel guards to seize her. Not more than 15 minutes, the police came knocking at my door and asking questions about Helena. Much to my concern is her mental state as of the moment. I just mentioned she is a former girlfriend of my fiancé. And that she needs medical attention due to losing her childhood sweetheart and didn't file for anything since I understand how she feels right now.

Hi! How are you feeling?, Gin asked while Helena in a defeated state, was cuffed away from my room. I am okay, don't worry. I just feel tired after the drama I was caught up into, I added jokingly. Well! Thank God, you're okay!, Gin replied very worried. I think I'll skip dinner. Can I take a rain check and let's eat out some other time?, I explained while walking towards my bed to lie down hugging my pillow, and never noticed, I slept all the way in the process. Better yet!, I will just call for a take-out, for your sake. Alex…Alexa???, I stopped yelling, when I checked in her room, my poor baby's sound asleep. And I'll stay for the night just to make sure you're alright! Gin whispering, smiling at Alexa. He is just inches apart from Alex's face.

I miss you so much A…You are so lucky to get out of this mess and I was so worried, I ran across the room wearing my bathrobe with only my underwear on. As a transman, my surgery marks on my chest healed perfectly. If one didn't notice, that, I was a woman before. She wouldn't really notice the marks, as if they are just keloids, or birth marks one can accept as natural. Since I have grown my muscles, my body is very toned. You can also see my six pack abs, that make the ladies go wild knowing that about me. I think Alex loved my abs so much, she likes touching them especially when we were making love before the accident happened and…..Aaaaahhh! Stop it, Jodie, Gin!!!...She deserves more, she deserves the world. Alex deserves to be happy. I want her to be happy. But will she want to be, with me, my new me?

October, 2019. Alexa is doodling stuff online when a scoop about a certain virus popped up. A news about a virus spreading across China, specifically in Wuhan. I read that one Chinese doctor had been advising the government about this issue and could spread before the end of this year. Hmm! Is this true? I have researched on this but there are no information about this disease. However, rumors say that the Chinese doctor who discovered the virus died even before people knew about it. Maybe their government had something to do with the issue. Hmph! What's with this virus anyway? Haayyy….I have a lot to think and article to write about that are more important than this rumor. Christmas is about to come anyway. I want to stay in Paris a little bit longer but it can't be helped, I need to go back to Manila before the end of this year for Edmund's 40 day commemoration. But praying to God directly seems appropriate. He is gone now and how will I be able to celebrate his death this way. I miss him, I miss you Edmund!, I added sighing sadly. To ease the pain of losing him, I called my parents and sister. My loneliness disappeared listening to my mom's soothing voice. I am okay now. Adding the crazy video call my friends, Basil and Sanjay did for me. I missed these guys. They are doing pretty well with my photography business and I am so proud of them. They currently have Rita Ora on the list of VIP artists lined up for photo shoots for V magazine and online advertisements.

At the office. Gin is on a hectic schedule for the day, making a phone call. Hey! It's Gin Law….., yes! Thanks, you remembered me, haha! I want a bouquet of flowers with the name, Alexandra Steele, please.

Oh! make it, 24 white roses, for now. Yes at the Ritz Hotel with address….Oh cool! Alright. Can I pay it through my credit card? Okay. I'll do that now on my phone. Good! Deliver it tonight if you can. Bye! I'm sure, she'll be happy with this surprise. I hope that she is okay now. After the Helena incident and Edmund's death. Haaa! I know I need to do something but my hands are tied. How can I reveal myself to her now?, Gin sighed deeply. When…

Hey! You wanted to meet me, your assistant told me the other day? A blonde sexy girl on cream long sleeved top which three buttons up top is open, revealing her overflowing cleavage. Though wearing a dark brown leather mini skirt matching with leather boots. Hands on her back, as if using her sexy charms to seduce Gin, her soon to be producer. Oh! Yes, you might be Vina? Ms. Vina Vedra! It is a pleasure to meet you! Gin said standing to greet her sort of running half way across the room, about seven feet tops. Yes! Call me Vina, Gin, right!, she added holding Gin's both hands longer, as if she doesn't want to let go of them. You know I am so happy your assistant called me and heard the news. Thank you for having me as one of your artists. It is a great opportunity for me to really do what I love to do, sing and song write.
