Chapter 12: Twinx One day, I bumped into Twinx at a coffee shop. She invited me over at her table, since I also needed a break and perhaps a cup of coffee I sat down with her. While drinking our coffee Twinx kept telling me stories about stuff happening, you know Twinx. Anyway I already got a little used to it. I guess it’s part of her job, you know talking fast and she always has the latest gossip about almost everyone. “So how’re you and Doc? I heard you’re very busy these days.” She asked. “Well we’re both okay. Yes, I’ve been really busy. Our schedule became very busy these days. How about you and Pare? How are the both of you?” I said stirring my cup of coffee. “Well, we’re doing fine. But he’s been really restless these days. He’s going almost crazy trying to look for his bracelet. He really loves that bracelet of his. Sometime I feel he loves that bracelet more than me. He was practically freaking out when he found out he lost it.” Twinx said. I suddenly put my hands down where she couldn’t see it and just touched the bracelet. I never knew that this was that important to him. “I think it was given by someone important. I don’t really know since he never showed it to me, not once. He never even removes it, unless he uses the washroom. He’s always been attached to that bracelet ever since college days. It’s as if he’d die if something happens to it.” She continued. Then she kept talking and talking about random stuff again, but I lost track of her stories because I was lost in my own thoughts about Pare and me. I was brought back to world when Twinx’s phone rang. She answered it…. “”WHAT?!” she exclaimed. Then she started talking and talking, but I couldn’t really follow her ‘cause I was back to my thoughts about Pare. Then she banged her phone at the table. “What’s wrong?” I asked a bit startled. “One of my models backed out, says she’s sick. But if I know, she’s just gotten another plastic surgery somewhere in here body. And now I’m lacking one model! I have less than one week to find one!” she said panicking. “I wish I could help you. But I don’t know any models.” I said not knowing what else to say. “hmmm,” she said looking at me intensely, “I think you could help.” She said with a smile I didn’t quite know if I liked it. “How?” I asked hoping it isn’t what I was thinking. “Well, you’re tall, I like the way your body is built, your skin is nice. Perfect! You’ll be just fine.” She said her eyes shining. It took me awhile to realize what she was saying. “No, no way. No way.” I said with a little laugh. “Why not? You have the looks, the body, and the attitude to be a model. Besides it’s just this one time.” She pleaded me. I felt a bit flattered, but I really felt like I won’t be able to take it. “Come on, please? It’s for a good cause. I won’t be able to find another model in time.” “What’s the cause?” I asked. I was a bit interested already, but I jus needed to get the details. To make sure I was making the right choice. “It’s for those children who needs serious medical attention. This might even help some of your patients since you also have cases under this group.” She said convincing me. If it was really this important, why not? Plus when I was young I’ve always dreamt of becoming a model one day. So I started considering the idea. And I thought of saying yes to her offer. “Wouldn’t I be out of place there? Since I’ll be surrounded by professional models and stuff like that. Isn’t it a bit shameful?” I asked. “What’s there to be insecure about? You have the body, the looks, everything! And not all of them are professional models. Most of them have their own field of work just like you.” She said smiling. “Well, what am I going to wear?” I asked also smiling. “Oh my gosh! Really?” she asked getting what I meant. “Yes, yes.” I said still smiling. “Well you’ll be wearing this dress made by this famous designer…” and we talked about all the details the rest of the afternoon. •~•~• On my way home, I still can’t believe that I’d be able to live one of my dreams as a child. I’ve always wanted to be a model. And here I am, finally given the chance. When I got home didn’t know what to do first. I was so excited. So I decided to take a bath and rest. On my to the bathroom the bracelet was accidently stuck to something, good thing it didn’t break. I was reminded about the things that Twinx told me about how Pare cares so much about this bracelet, meaning he really treasures it and cares for the person who gave it to him. Then that’s when I realized that after all these years the hole I feel inside, the feeling that I can’t explain is Pare. All this years I have been living my life bearing this hole but when Pare came to my life again I felt complete once more. Then I realized that I was just maintaining my relationship with Doc hoping he could fill this hole of mine, but he just can’t. After a little battle with myself I decided to be true to my feelings, I decided to end this foolishness. Pare and I are just friends. And it’s Doc who I really love. I really do love Doc, but the love I have for Pare was way greater than that. I have to put my priorities straight.

Waiting Patiently while being a patient because of impatientness . LOL BUT STILL COULD YOU ATLEAST TRY TO MAKE D UPDATE QUICKER?
Chapter 12: Twinx (continuation) The whole week after work I’d go to rehearsals and stuff. One day Doc noticed how restless and busy I’ve become. At the end of our shift he approached me at my office. “Hey. Where you going?” he asked. “Huh? What?” I asked back. I was so busy fixing my things and I was running late so it took me some time to realize his question. “Oh, yeah. I’m going to my rehearsals and I’m late.” “What?” he asked a bit confused, then he sat down at the chair by my table. “I said I’m going to be late for my rehearsals.” I said again still fixing my things. “Rehearsals? For what?” he asked surprised. “A fashion show.” I answered. “Fashion show? Since when did you become a model?” he asked in a way that I couldn’t understand. “Twinx made me do it, and it’s for a good cause so…” I said walking in a hurry. “When is it?” he asked again. “Huh?” I asked still a bit dazed because of the time. Finally at the parking lot he asked again. “I said when is it.. I’d like to be there when you walk your very first catwalk.” He’s always been ever supportive to me. Which made me smile. “It’s this weekend. I have to go. Bye.” Then I kissed his cheek and drove off. All week I have been going back and forth from the hospital and to my rehearsals. So far rehearsals were fun. I have met a lot of very interesting people. It was different from what I had imagined. Some of them were professionals in their own fields so I was surprised when I first met them all. Which is why I didn’t feel a bit insecure during rehearsals. •~•~• I take none of the credits.
Chapter 13: Catwalk Finally it’s the night of my first catwalk! When I got to the dressing room there were a lot of models already and everybody was moving, we finished our roll call and the make-up artists did their magic. People are starting to pile up outside and I was feeling nervous. When I saw my dress, I was in awe. It was so beautiful! It was inspired by the Greek goddesses’ dress and it was so pretty. While having my make-up done the designer was also making minor adjustments to my dress, it was pretty chaotic, but after awhile I was done and finally dressed up. While waiting in the dressing room Twinx came in to wish me luck. Of course she had a lot of stories and gossips for me, she always had the latest gossips. I don’t really know where she gets’ them. But I admit she’s starting to grow on me, I no longer feel irritated at her. Which is a good thing. ‘cause finally I could be at ease around her. After talking to me she left and went to the rest of the models. Then Doc came in, “Hey there gorgeous!” he said then handed me a bouquet of flowers. Red roses, my favorite. “Oh hey,” I said accepting the flowers. “Well, I just wanted to see you before you go off on your catwalk.” He said. He really is so sweet! “Thank you.” I said smiling. Then we chatted for a while. “I have to go. I’ll just see you on the runway. I still have to find a seat. Good luck!” then he kissed mo on the cheek then left. When Doc left, I was left alone in my dressing room. Suddenly someone came in again with a bouquet, he was covering his face with the bouquet so I didn’t know who it was. When the person removed the bouquet from his face my heart jumped when I saw him. It was PARE! “I see you already have a fan.” He said looking at the flowers Doc gave. “Oh that!” I said smiling. “Well here you go. To make the collection bigger.” He said handing me the bouquet. “Thanks.” I said taking the flowers from his hands then kissing his cheek. It felt good to see Pare again. Then I looked him straight in the eyes. He looked back at me with those eyes that melted my heart years ago and is now working its wonders again. He broke eye contact, “Hey, just do your thing out there okay?” he said, “I know you’ll be great.” “Thanks.” I said then I just smiled. Then we started talking. While he was talking I looked deeply in his eyes. That’s when I realized that I really do still love him. That he never left my heart even for just one second of my life. All these years, I thought the hole in my heart could be filled by someone else, turns out, he’s the only one who could ever fill that hole and he’s the only one who has that missing part of my heart. A little later someone started to call all the models for their final touch. The program was about to start. So he said his goodbye and wished me luck. I just looked at him and smile. “By the way, you really look gorgeous tonight.” He said. I felt my heart jump once more, the way he said it and the look in his eyes it was just so sincere. Then I knew that what I really feel for him is real. And at that moment, I decided to tell him my real feelings. “Pare,” we both said together. “Yes?” we answered again in unison. “uhhh. I want to tell you something.” He said. “Me too.” I said looking into his eyes. “Models, line up now! The show is about to start! Let’s go!” the coordinator shouted. With that we couldn’t finish what we wanted to say to each other. “I’ll just catch up with you later. Okay?” I said hurrying to my place. “Okay… after the show?” he asked still standing by the door. “Yes, after the show.” I said. Then he left. When it was my turn to walk I felt my knees tremble but then I saw Doc cheering me on and Pare was there too, smiling at me. Just the presence of Pare game me self-confidence. So I walked the catwalk with pride and without taking my eyes off Pare. While walking down the runway I kept on thinking on what to tell Pare and how to tell him the truth. After that dreadful walk I felt relieved. I felt as if a heavy stone was taken off my back. The show was very exhausting but very fulfilling at the same time. I have never felt that kind of rush for a very long time. Twinx came in my dressing room. Then we took pictures together, just savoring the moment and have something to remember that day by. After that I changed my clothes. I can’t keep the dress, though I would have wanted to. Too bad, It was a really beautiful dress. Then Twinx and I left the building together. Pare and Doc was waiting for us outside, they were both smoking cigars. I don’t know but it was awkward for me to see them talking. Especially now that I am already sure with my feelings. “Hey boys.” Twinx said, which made both of them surprised. “Hey.” Was all they could say when they saw me. “And what do you think you’re doing? The both of you?!” I asked with my eyebrow raised at them. They threw their cigars and stepped on it. “Well… ‘cause..” Pare started looking for and explanation. He looked at Doc. “You know..” Doc trying to continue what Pare was saying. “’cause what? You know what?” I asked them, “What? Speechless?” Twinx was just looking at us. “how many time do I have to tell the both of you to stop smoking?” “And you, you’re a doctor. But it seems as if you don’t know how to take care of your own body!” I told Doc, I saw Pare look away trying to hide his laugh. “Same goes with you! Why are you laughing? I’ve been telling you to stop smoking ever since we were still at college! And you even promised me that you’d stop! Remember?” I told him sternly. They couldn’t look at me. “uhm.. can we go? I’m really starving.” Pare said. “Yes. That’s right. I’m also already hungry.” Doc agreed. Then they went ahead to the cars before I could say another word. “Wow!” Twinx said. “huh?” I turned to look at her. I was a bit startled I forgot that Twinx was there. Those two are to blame. “You actually made them stop.” She said with a big smile as if in awe. “Sorry?” I asked. I couldn’t quite catch up to her. “Smoking!” she said in a matter-of-fact tone. “oh that…. That was nothing…” I said smiling. “Nothing? I have been telling him to stop smoking but he won’t budge. This is actually the first I saw him throw a cigarette in the middle of smoking.” She said. “Really? Well, ever since I’ve already been telling Pare to stop smoking ‘cause it’s not good for the health. And what I hate most is smoking.” I told her. “Wow. Seriously! WOW!” she said, then for some reason we both laughed. When we arrived at the parking lot Pare and Doc was looking at us as if to say ‘what happen? Awhile ago you were mad?’. “See you there.” Twinx said getting in Pare’s car. “Sure.” I said then I went in Doc’s car. •~•~• I take none of the credits.
