"Hey." Luke's tapping my shoulder so, I could wake up. He can't stand 'cause I'm lying on him. I stood up after a moment and my phone rang. It was a call from Tito Paul.
I awake my phone to answer his call. He had already ten missed calls since morning. I didn't heard it 'cause I was on a great sleep.
"Tito?" I was a bit wondering what's the call for. It's early in the morning and he's been calling for about few minutes.
"Iris, you need to go back home now." I was shocked at first on what he said. How could I go back home if I'm outside the country? It's a long travel.
"Tito but, I was on leave. My vacation's planned since before right?"
"I know darling but the thing is, you will start recording for you album as soon as you come back."
"Can I just start recording next week? I'm about to go home for a few days now." I was trying to make excuse 'cause Luke and I couldn't just leave.
"I tried dear but, you really need to go back."
"I'll go back tomorrow." Tito Paul ended the call 'cause our conversation's over. Luke's been over on his phone again. I don't even know why.
"Luke, let's go down and eat?" I asked. He was still on his phone and he's not talking to me. "Hey, Luke!"
"Yeah, a moment."
"Okay, I'll just go eat by myself." I went outside the room and get into the elevator so, I could go the hotel's restaurant and eat. Luke came in while, I was getting my food.
"Why didn't you wait for me?" Luke's pissed.
"I thought you don't like to eat so, I go downstairs by myself." I said. I was bringing my tray to a two-tabled chair while, Luke's getting his food.
"I wanted to eat. I said, a moment right?" Luke started to sit. I was eating my food but, he's starting a fight with me. I'm just trying to calm down 'cause my head's aching.
"Oh, sorry. You're busy with your phone."
"Yeah, I'm talking with someone." I was getting more pissed 'cause why would he give so much attention to that someone than me. Aren't I important?
"Then, you should just continue talking with that someone instead of eating." I said. Luke's pissed too. He stared at me badly and wondering what's wrong with me.
"What's wrong with you Iris?" Luke said. I was pissing him off more. I don't know what I've been thinking lately.
"Oh, I'm Iris now." I said. You've been calling me Love then by my name now? What's up with you Luke?
"Why are you like this?"
"Why are you like that?" I asked back. I'm pissed. My head's aching more. I couldn't speak well 'cause of my colds. Going back to the Philippines was another problem. Luke and I's fight. Argh.
"Then sorry." Luke said with an attitude. His voice is hunky with a loud tone.
"Alright, go back talking to that person." I stood up from my chair 'cause I'm done eating. Luke pulled me and I sitted back again. "What?!"
"Iris, it's Mom! She greeted us and asking how are we doing. What's wrong with you?" I stopped for a moment. I should've not showed him my attitude. I should've just calmed down my nerves and relax. I have trust issues, why am I having a hard time with this?
"Sorry." I was looking down from him. I couldn't look through his eyes 'cause I'm sorry for what I acted. Luke held my chin and faced my head on him.
"Hey, even though you're moody with me. I didn't even think to talk to other girls out there. You're my girl and I should be focusing on you and I'm sorry if I didn't give you my attention on the times you needed one. You're my happiness and I love you so much." Luke smiled. He stood up from his chair and handled me his hand. I grabbed his hand then we went outside the hotel for an early morning walk.
"Luke, we need to go back to the Philippines tomorrow." We stopped by at a mini convenience store across the street. I was thinking of to buy some chips but, Luke didn't allow me. He bought sandwhiches insted.
"Why?" Luke asked. He's on the cashier now paying for all the goods. I was just beside him waiting.
"Tito Paul called this morning and I need to start recording for my album."
"How did that happen? I thought you were free 'cause you're on vacation?" Luke asked. He grabbed the bag of goods and we went back inside the hotel.
"Yeah but, the album launched will be on a few days and I haven't record a single song yet."
"I couldn't go with you." Luke replied. "Mom wanted me to stay back home in Sydney. I wanted you to go with me after this vacation but it seems that, you need to go back on your career."
"Luke.."
"Hey, I'll go back to the Philippines. I'll stay with you, I promise but, my Mom misses me so, I really need to go back." Luke smiled. "I'll call to the airport to schedule your flight to Manila and mine to Sydney."
"Luke, are you serious with this? When will you be back?"
"I don't know but, I'll go back home to you." Luke gave me a warm hug so, we're settled. I gathered up my stuffs and put it all in my luggages. My flights were scheduled tomorrow six in the morning. Luke's flight was on six in the morning too so, we could go to the airport together.
The time's too fast. My alarm started to rang after few hours. I can't sink in to myself that I'm leaving this beautiful place now. My vacation's over and wasn't that good. Luke went in to the bathroom first and took his shower. He's fast that's why after a few minutes, it was my turn.
Our luggages were packed since last night. I'm not excited to go back home 'cause Luke's not with me. He'll go back to his hometown and stay with his Mom. Luke's the last child and I couldn't bear that to myself. I'm the only child that's why I do not really know my responsibilities. I was kinda spoiled with my parents specially with my Grandma.
Luke's done and I entered the bathroom rushingly. I should take my bath quickly so, we won't be late with our flight. Luke and I won't take our breakfast 'cause the plane serves food during the flight.
"You're ready?" Luke asked. He let the butler to go inside our room to help us with the luggages.
"Uhm, yeah." I lightly smiled. I grabbed my bag and went out with Luke. I was kinda staring for a moment on our door's room. I got few memories here. It's just few days since we've stayed in London but, it's kinda worth it.
We got inside the car fast. It's raining and very cold outside. I was staring on the rain drops while the car's moving. I sat beside the window and thinking of what I did here in London. Luke's not talking. He's barely quiet.
It's somehow a long ride to the airport. It took us an hour to get there. Luke and I were safe together with the guards. We need them to protect us from people around us. It was hard for a known-person to go out 'cause some fans could notice.
"Love?" Luke said. He got his luggages now. He would enter the terminal 3 and I would take terminal 1. "I think this is it."
"I think yes." My teardrops started rushing from my eyes. I couldn't help myself thinking that we would separate now. He's going back to Sydney then, I'll go home to Manila.
"Hey, ssshh. Don't cry." Luke wiped away my tears. He started to hug me tight. We're about to leave and I'm not ready for it. "How could I go now, if you're crying?"
"B-but.. Luke."
"We've talked about this, right?" Luke kissed my forehead. He was starting to make me feel alright now before he leave. "I'll go now?"
"Okay. I'll leave now, too." I wiped away my tears then started to smile. I don't want him to worry while we're on each other's flight. "Take care."
We've turned back now. I started to walk and pull my luggages. I need to go inside 'cause the plane's about to go. One last time, I need another hug. I left my luggages for a while then ran towards Luke. Luke turned back and he opened his arms for me.
"I love you." I smiled. Luke hugged me once more. He's not ready to go too but, we need to.
"I love you, too."
I turned my back now and I'm ready to take my flight. I went inside to my destinated terminal place. The plane's ready and people travelling to Manila too are going in.
The plane took off after all the people were settled in the plane. I watched the view from outside while travelling. I'm going back now, I tweeted. Hoping Luke was fine on the other plane.
I couldn't wait to get back home and do my stuffs again. I was alone but, the ride's comfy and good. Luke's isn't with me but, I could handle myself. Hope so.
I'll be home in Manila early in the afternoon. I texted my friends to pick me up and hoping they would come. My arm's okay now. It was feeling better. The bandage's gone too.
I'm excited to start recording for my new album. The songs were great and I was hoping that people would like it. The album's cover was ready since before. The recordings left and I should be done with it before its launch.
