Found Again

“Are you sure that Alli will be with us tomorrow and she will be here for good?” I asked Lance for the nth time.

I still can’t believe it. After two years of patiently waiting, finally she is back. I miss my baby so much. I can’t wait to see her, even though I know that I will need to win her again.

I was not aware that she went back a month after she left… actually, no one knew about her sudden return. I only found out when she send me a long message before she blocked me on her phone and all her social media accounts.

I was planning to go to the US when I confirm everything to Lance but he stops me from chasing Allison. He told me that I should give the space that Alli needs. Alli was too emotional to absorb everything. I blame myself for listening to Lance at that time.

I shouldn’t listen to him and just go straight to the US to explain everything to Allison at that time. When I realize that I shouldn’t just wait for her and do nothing, I book a flight to the US.

But when I saw how happy she was at that time, I became hesitant. I feel like, I will go near her, she will lose the beautiful smile that I am seeing in her. I also can’t help but feel scared and jealous toward that guy Noah. I can see how comfortable and happy Allison is with him.

I was torn between winning her or letting her go in the meantime to chase her dream. Obviously, I chose the latter.

But the love and longing that I have for her is too strong that’s why I made the craziest decision… and that is to become a singer. I love singing but I am never a fan of the entertainment industry, the complete opposite of Allison and Iya.

Iya always wanted to work in media, that is why she chose to be a radio disc jockey. She keeps on convincing me to venture into the entertainment industry, not as a celebrity but as a businessman but I always told her that I am not interested. Another decision that I regret. I should have listened to her and ventured into the entertainment industry, in that way I will have a strong connection with Alli.

I asked Vince to help me become a singer. I want to be popular enough so that I will be more than qualified to be in Alli’s vlog.

“Alli’s flight is tomorrow morning but she won’t be here tomorrow because her flight will take twenty-one hours. Expect her to be here the day after tomorrow.” Lance said in a sarcastic tone.

I just shook my head. I don’t care about those things. The only important for me is for her to be home… home with me.

“Alli is live now on Instagram,” Mike said.

Vince, Lance, and I went to Mike and look at his phone. Allison was indeed live on Instagram.

All three of us grab our phones and sign in on our dummy Instagram account. I do this to stalk Alli since she blocked my account in all her social media accounts. While these three only like the idea of annoying Allison by keeping on mentioning me on her vlog or post.

‘You’re finally coming back here in the Philippines! Please feature Andrew Lopez on your vlog!’ Mike started to comment.

‘We can’t wait to see you here in the Philippines Ms. Allison! Looking forward to seeing Andrew Lopez on your vlog!’ Vince commented.

‘Finally! Andrew Lopez on Stellar! Welcome back, Ms. Allison!’ Lance commented.

I tap my forehead from reading all their comment. This is their way of annoying Allison and they are enjoying to see her expression whenever I will be mentioned.

Allison just sighed and tried to smile at the camera. But we know her better.

“Thank you guys for your warm welcome. I am more excited now to be home. I am so excited to meet you guys. And who knows? Maybe one of you will be lucky enough to have a makeover by yours truly.” Alli said and ignoring the request about me.

‘Please have a collaboration with Andrew Lopez!’ Mike commented again.

‘I found out that you are close with Andrew Lopez! For sure you will have a collaboration with him soon! Can’t wait! Stellar will surely be sold-out once you made him on your cover.’ Lance commented while doing his evil laugh.

It was so obvious that Allison was offended by Lance’s comment. I can’t help but smile now that I’m seeing her doing her best to control her reaction.

“I will surely take all your suggestion on my list. But it will still depend on the artist if he will be available for a collab.” Allison had no choice but to give feedback on the comments requesting me.

I will always be available for you baby. I said to myself.

I saw Lance smirk and type on his phone again. ‘We will have a Twitter party and have it trend. We promise you that #AndrewLopezOnStellar will be number one trending worldwide.’

Allison’s eyes widen from Lance’s comment. The boys laugh aloud because of their reaction.

“Let’s see! Thank you all for your support! I need to end my live now. I need to get ready for my flight tomorrow. Thank you, everyone! And see you soon!!!! Bye!” Allison had no other choice but to end her Instagram live.

The boys were still laughing.

“Did you see her reaction man?! That was epic!”

I just shake my head. I can’t believe that this guy is Alli’s cousin. He always loves to annoy her. Maybe that is his love language for Allison.

“Hey, guys look at this!” Mike said then he showed his phone to us.

It was a Facebook group for Allison’s fans here in the Philippines. Since we got dummy accounts for her, we also use these accounts to join her fans and see their plans for Alli. It’s also our way of protecting her, in case these fans are planning something outrageous. I heard that some fans became obsessive about the artist. One fan killed an artist for a lame reason.

Since Alli is somehow a celebrity or influencer, we join this group to protect her.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Lance got another crazy idea. The fans are planning to wait for Alli at the airport and give her a welcome surprise. Since we can’t join them, we hire someone to be in our place instead. We ask them to mention my name during the welcome surprise because for sure Alli would want to thank them personally.

True enough, I saw Alli walking to the waiting area where the fans are. I was with the fans at the back. I wear a disguise, I know it was a bit risky but Allison will always be worth the risk.

When I saw her coming out of the airport I want to run to her and hug her tight. I miss her so much.

Just like our plan, one of the hired fans started to mention me. And to make it worse, Lance announce to everyone that Alli and I were close. I should commend him for controlling himself of revealing my real relationship with Alli.

And just like what we expected from Alli, she ended her conversation with the fans and said goodbye.

I arrived at Alli’s house first. I texted Lance a while ago to delay their arrival at the house because Alli can’t see me entering their house or she will not go inside knowing that I was also there.

When Allison went inside their house, I stay at the back hidden from her. I saw how happy she was seeing her parents and siblings. She became awkward when Iya approached her together with Anne.

I can also see the awkwardness of Anne. I can’t blame her for reacting that way because I told her about Allison’s sudden return to the country and what push her to stay in America.

Allison was smiling while accepting the welcome and hugs from the boys until it was me. Alli’s smile started to fade. She keeps on taking a step back whenever I took a step towards her.

When I saw her trying to run away, I grabbed her by the waist and pull her towards me. “Running away again?” I asked her.

I move closer to her and whispered. “This time, I will not allow you to run away from me again.”
