Sino siya? Will, siya lang naman ang lalaking nagpabaliw sa akin ng ganito. Kilala nila ako bilang isang inosenteng babae and that's true. Ayaw kong makarinig ng mga malalaswang bagay galing sa kahit sino.. kahit sa best friend ko na kilalang playgirl. Pero noong nakilala ko siya, doon ko natutunan lahat ang natutunan ng best friend ko. Halos lahat ng bagay binigyan ko ng meaning. Naging dirty minded ako dahil sa kanya. Pero iyun ang gusto ko, iyung ang ginusto ko, doon ko siya nakilala so bakit ako mag pabebe? Mahal ko siya at hindi ako mag rereklamo kong ano man ang nagawa niya sa akin. Masaya ako dahil sa kanya ko natutunan lahat. I don't care what they say. I don't care if magagalit ang best friend ko. Pero hindi siya nagalit sa akin kundi sa lalaking mahal ko. Super protective and that's fine with me. Until everyone's know. I'm a model and he's a billionaire. They say, hindi ako nababagay sa kanya. They say, hihilain ko lang siya pababa. Hindi ako kagaya ng best friend ko na palaban. I'm sensitive so after hearing those words from his supporters, it's hurt a lot and I left him. Yes, I left him for my peace of mind. I don't deserve him. Ang bilis ko lang siyang iwan. Deserve niya ang babaeng hindi siya iiwan para sa sarili niya, gaya ng ginawa ko. But can I stay? Why? Cause I love him.
