CHAPTER 18

Rafael

"One, two, three! Next pose" Kanina pa ako naiirita sa Photographer. Kanina pa kami papalit palit ng pose at naka ilang takes narin sya pero wala pa dyang mapili para sa cover.

There are lots of great shots but they can't find anything good for the cover? "Let's try a spicy pose! Do some re-touch while we ready the set" Kaagad naman kaming bumalik sa dressing room.

We changed clothes. My clothes was white just like a prince and Trouble's clothes are black just like a villain. He came up to me and said "What's a spicy pose?"

I'd rather not say. He's too innocent. "You'll see" Nanatili syang nakatingin sakin. "Sorry, I brought you into this"

"Ayoko lang kasing makipag fake relationship sa iba. I know you're tired because of this but please hang in there" Napayukong sabi nya. Sandali akong napangisi.

He's too cute, how could I say no. "What makes you think that I don't like it? I'd rather get tired than having you paired with some other strangers"

"You know what Raf, I think I'm okay with us being like this. I mean, hindi ko sinasabing wag mo akong sagutin but for the meantime, I like us being like this. Para narin namang akin ka ang kaibahan nga lang ay hindi ko pwedeng sabihin sa iba" Ngumiti ako sakanya.

He's the most patient person I ever know.

We went back to the set and tried new poses. While we are doing pictorials, I get the feeling that someone was looking at me. It's creeping me out.

"Attkinson move closer to Dalton and show us some chemistry. Maybe a kiss will do" Nabalik ang pansin ko sa sinabi ng photographer. "What?" Tanging nasabi ko.

"I think we should skip that part-" Sabat ni Trouble. "I need chemistry. This is for the front cover. It should be the best" Kumbinsi sakanya ng photographer.

Magsasalita pa sana sya pero inunahan ko iyon "Capture this" Kaagad na pumwestk ang buong team habang ako ay naglakad palapit kay Trouble.

I slowly reached for his nape and stare at his eyes. "Be professional and show emotion" I said before pulling him closer and buried my face in his neck and gently licking it.

Pagakatapos nun ay humiwalay rin naman ako. Nakita ko pa ang pamumula ng mukha nya. "That's what you called spicy" The photographer smiled "Let's do it one more time. Try looking at the camera Dalton. Look fiercely as if your protecting your prince"

I did what I did just a moment ago. This time, his hands went to my head and gently caressing it while his other hand is on my waist.

"And that's it! I think we've got our cover" Nagpalakpakan ang crew saka kami pumunta sa dressing room para mag bihis ng casual wear.

Finally we're done for the day.

I went to find Trouble in his dressing room and I saw him talking to one of the crews. Agad na umalis ang crew ng makita nya ako.

Nung lumapit ako kay Trouble ay kaagad nya akong hinila para halikan. "Don't do that again!" Madiing pagkakasabi nya bago tumakbo sa hindi ko malamang direksyon.

What's wrong with him?

...

"Attkinson, do you drink?" Tinanguan ko ang isang staff. Nasa isang resto kami matapos ang photo shoot. "Yeah" Kinuha ko ang iniabot nilang beer at uminom.
