The ‘end of school’ ceremony was a big hit. Gerald and Kim were one of the main star performers and the audience were very impressed at how great they were as actors. Kim in particular had high praises from everyone at how great she portrayed her character in the play as well as her breathtaking song and dance performances. The crowd couldn’t get enough of her band and they ended up singing three more songs as requested by the audience. She received numerous academic awards as well as talent and sports medals. Gerald’s performances were also well admired. His ‘giling moves’ was a show stealer, the girls were left begging for more. Gerald joined the audience during Kim’s song number and proudly watched her girlfriend sing “No Ordinary Love” (which he knew was dedicated to him), mesmerized by her beautiful, sweet voice. Love was evident in their eyes as they gazed at each other as she serenaded him.

After the ceremony, Kim and Gerald headed to the after party, held at Joaqui’s place. Everyone turned to look as the couple walked in holding hands. Kim mingled with their closest friends while Gerald went to get some pick-up foods and softdrinks.

Joaqui: So Kimmy, mukhang you and Gerald are getting serious na talaga. My bestfriend must be doing all the right moves huh?

Kim: Sorry guys, but I don’t kiss and tell! Pero ok naman kami.

Gerald crept up behind her and handed her a plate. “She can kiss alright! Favourite past time nya yan eh pag kami lang dalawa!”

Kim immediately went red and playfully hit his chest. “As if! In your dreams no!”

Gerald: Hindi ba Kimmy? Dream ko lang ba yung feel na feel mo ang kiss natin, it felt so real kasi eh.

Kim: Ikaw lang naman ang palaging nangnanakaw ng halik eh!

Fred: So, you admit na rin na palagi kayong nag-kikiss! Haha!

Shaina: Waaaahhhhh!! Be still, my beating heart! Ang cute pakinggan ninyong dalawa. Gusto ko na rin talagang ma in-love.

Gerald: I never forced you to kiss back, ikaw ang kusang nag-respond sa kisses ko so meaning, favourite mo talaga akong i-kiss!

Kim: Sige Gerald, ganyan ka. Hanggang sa dreams mo na lang talaga ako ma-kiss if you keep this up.

Gerald took her aside and whispered, “babe naman, they know na about us barkada naman natin sila and most of them have seen us kissing. Kinikilig sila oh, pagbigyan na natin, let’s give them some minor details na lang para lalo silang makilig.”

Kim: (whispered) Ge private details na natin yan wa’g mo nang i-release sa public. Tapos ako pa talaga pinu-point mo na gustong makipag-kiss sayo, nakakahiya! Para mo naman pinapalabas na patay na patay ako sayo!

Gerald: Diba totoo? There’s nothing wrong with us being in love with each other.

Kim: Ano ka ba, there are other people in this room na hindi natin ka-barkada. Ang daming makarinig!

Mel: Hoy mamaya na yang bulungan nyo dyan, meron na naman kayong sariling mundo! I-update nyo pa kami tungkol sa lovelife nyo, we’re excited to hear everything na.

Gerald: Sorry guys, my mouth is zipped na. Ayokong ma-trouble kay misis, baka masira pa moves ko!

Kim: (elbowed him) Ayan ka na naman!

Mel: Speaking of moves, ang galing mo kanina Ge. Hindi kaya nagselos si Kim sa dami ng girls na nagsisigawan ng “I love you Gerald” while you were dancing?

Kim: Naku bahala sya! Palagi naman yang nagpapa-cute sa lahat eh. Hinahabol palagi ng girls!

Gerald: Tingnan nyo guys, nasasaktan. Babe, I do remind you everyday how much I love you and ikaw lang. Alam mo naman na hindi ko sila pinapansin eh, I don’t want to see you get hurt for nothing.

Kim: Kapal mo, bakit naman ako affected sa mga ganun? Hindi no!

Joaqui: Patas lang naman kayo eh, grabe din naman yung sigawan habang kumakanta si Kim lalo na sa y moves nya kanina. Pati mga girls sumigaw din ng “I love you Kim”, ano ba yun!

Kim: Kaloka nga itong si Rob kanina eh, muntik akong mawala sa moment! I almost stuffed up my song ng sumigaw ka ng “Kimmy, buntis ako! Marry me!” Muntik ko talaga hindi mapigilang humalakhak! Bruha ka talaga Rob.

Rob: Hahaha! Ang hot mo kasi nun, bigla akong napasigaw! Sorry Ge, promise wala akong intensyon kay Kimmy, just for fun lang talaga yun.

Gerald: Sarap mo ngang batuhin kanina ng microphone eh. Hehe. Hindi pare, joke lang. Of course wala sa akin yun!

Shaina: Napansin nyo ba kung papano nasira ang mukha ni Gerald during Kim’s song and dance number with us?

Kim: Sya naman pala ang nasaktan eh, pinasa pa sa akin! (tickled his side)

Gerald: Hindi ako nagselos no. I know naman na marami talagang nagkakagusto kay Kimmy, sino ba namang hindi. She’s so beautiful, intelligent, talented with a good heart, basta lahat ng good traits nasa kanya. Dreamgirl talaga sya ng guys. Pero I’m the luckiest of them all because I get to have the woman of every guy’s dreams. (He put down his plate and hugged her tight).

Mel: Wow, ang sweet naman! Where the heck is Matt when you need him? Gusto ko rin may mag-worship sa akin ng ganyan. Now na!

Kim: Oh come here my badder half! Everybody knows naman that you’re gorgeous, y, sweet, smart…I worship you.

Rob: Wow, naalala ko tuloy yung dirty dancing, lesbian moment nyo sa club!

Gerald: Ay ayoko nyan! Sorry Mel but Kimmy’s my babe. Ayoko makipagshare sa kahit sinong guy or girl, she’s all mine.

Kim: Gerald naman, naka-hug ka na kiss ng kiss ka pa sa cheeks ko, ang daming eyes nakatingin sa atin!

Mel: Hindi mo naman masyadong pinamukha na girl mo si Kim ano Gerald? Hindi naman masyadong obvious na possessive ka when it comes to your girl. Sige na nga. I know naman na maraming nag-worship sa aking beauty pero sorry bes, it sounds a million times better coming from Matt.

Kim: Fine, ditch me why don’t you? Halika na nga Gerald, let’s go dance. Ikaw na lang ang i-worship ko!

Gerald: Wow, I love the sound of that! (whispered) You can worship me any way you want, day or night baby!

Friends: Oooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

Joaqui: Score na naman si bestfriend! You’re the man, pare!

Kim: Darn! I shouldn’t have said that, I’ll never hear the end of this. Bakit ko nga ba sinabi yun out loud?

Gerald: Because that’s what’s in your head. Mahal mo talaga ako babe ano? Ang sarap talaga pakinggan, I’m the happiest man on earth na I’m loved and worshipped by the love of my life.

Kim: Naku pinapalaki ko na naman yata yang ulo mo!

Gerald: It feels so great being loved by you babe, I feel so spoiled. I love you Kimmy.

Kim: Don’t think I haven’t noticed! Dinadaan mo lang ako sa “I love you” para hindi ko mapansin na pahigpit na yang embrace mo while we’re here in the middle of the dance floor.

Gerald: I just want to hold you close babe while our song is on. I don’t care that there are heaps of people here, let them talk. I have you and I’m deliriously happy!

Kim placed her arms around his neck and they both smiled as they stared at each other. Gerald knew that all eyes were on them and he proudly held her tight, showing off his one true love. Eventually their friends joined them on the dance floor.
