DS #3: Billionaire's Love Shot

Kabanata 35

Months later.

All things are put in the place where they should be. Pierce is still courting me.

"Cut!" the director exclaimed. Nasa taping ako ngayon. I don't know why did Pierce choose me to be the leading lady. Alam kong ayaw niya akong nakikitang may kasamang ibang lalaki, "You can all take a break! Mamaya na ulit!" sabi niya ulit.

Nakahinga naman ng maluwag ang mga staffs at kaniya-kaniya silang umalis sa puwesto. Leonard Doromal smiled at me. Tumango lang ako bilang tugon.

"You wanna coffee break?" he asked me.

I glanced at Pierce na ngayon ay nakatayo sa puwesto niya. He is one of the directing team. He is taking under breath. Inis na 'yan, alam ko ang mukhang 'yan.

"No, thank you, Leo," sagot ko sa kaniya. I waved my hand at him to disagree. Dahan-dahan siyang tumango.

"Okay," umalis siya sa harapan ko na parang natalo sa kung ano. I faced Piercian. Nakataas ang isang kilay niya. I raised my brows back. Pataasan ba 'to ng kilay? He shook his head. I know, Piercian, you don't like that.

My role for this movie is a secretary who falls in love with the boss. I am poor and I lived my life to give my family a good life.

Pagpasok na pagpasok ko sa loob ng dressing room ay umupo ako sa tapat ng malapad na salamin. I am smiling crazily while looking at the door. Ilang segundo pa lang ang nakakalipas ng bigla itong bumukas at niluwa ang pinakagwapong lalaki na nakilala ko.

He locked the door. Ngumisi ako. He licked his lips so I did too. Malapit nang tumubo ang balbas niya. I find it so hot though.

"Is he picking on you?" he asked. He brushed his hair up. He stepped forward until he reach me. Bumunggo ang mukha ko sa dibdib niya. I slowly wrapped my arms around his waist. Niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit at may kasamang pagmamahal. I leaned my head against his hard as rock abs.

"Inaya niya lang ako na magkape," sagot ko. He caressed my hair softly. Napapapikit ako sa dala nitong payapa sa 'kin. Hindi ako masyadong nakakapagpahinga.

"Are you tired, baby?" he asked again using his soft voice. It trickled my heart. He kissed the top of my head again and again.

Marahan akong tumango, "Yeah, little bit. How was my performance today, Direk?" tanong ko. Dahan-dahan kong inangat ang mukha ko para tingnan siya. He is smiling playfully.

"It was good. You wanna sleep?" tinaasan niya ako ng isang kilay habang nakangiti. Napanguso ako.

"Break lang naman, hindi naman sinabing wala ng trabaho," sabi ko habang nakaismid. I want to sleep- yes. But I can't ditched the taping. Humigpit ang yakap ko sa kaniya. Napapangiti ako habang iniisip na siya ang director namin. I never thought that he is, akala ko nga photographer siya.

"I can tell them that you are tired," he said, convincing me. Umiling ako.

"No, thank you, Piercian. You are using your power again." I rolled my eyes.

"Of course, I am the producer. And I want you to rest," sagot niya. He ruffled my hair again. Sobrang lambot ng kamay niya pagdating sa 'kin...as always. Ganiyan siya lagi.

"Piercian," I whispered, calling his name. I know that this is not the right place. We're in the dressing room, hugging each other. But this feelings of mine is really that solid. Ayaw matibag. Siya na talaga.

"What is it?"

"Let's make it official," I said. Napakagat ako ng labi. Hinintay ko ang magiging reaksyon niya. He carefully pushed my shoulders away. Nalaglag ang panga niya. Sinasukat niya ako ng tingin na para bang hindi totoo ang sinabi ko.
