Chapter Sixty-Nine: Model

Shamie's POV
I woke up early, on my new house, on my new bed. So yeah, I woke up early because I have to go to work. It's 3 in the morning. May shoot ako ng 5 AM, at may flight ako ng 10 AM. Kagabi, naka-uwi na ako ng 11 PM. I had a long day yesterday, and I guess I'll be having a long day today as well.
Kagabi, I recieved tons of messages coming from the members. Kahit na kaka-alis ko lang last night, andami na agad messages from them.
Hindi nila alam ang address ng new house ko. I didn't told them, yun na din ang sabi ni Dad. Na wag kong sabihin. I don't know why, but it's the right thing to do, to obey my father.
Work work work na agad ako. I have to attend a shoot for a magazine. It's for Christmas. Malapit na kasi ang Christmas, and they want to shoot ng maaga. They personally contacted me, and I agreed, because it's a big company, and it's a good opportunity, so I grabbed it already.
This'll be the first time na magco-cover ako ng magazine, and I'm so excited. They told me also na may ka-partner daw ako. And I'm excited to meet her, or him, I don't know. They didn't tell me kung babae ba o lalaki. Basta, may partner daw ako.
I took a bath and wore a casual clothes, simple jeans and a plain top. Kasi, magbibihis naman ako sa shoot eh. Tsaka, hindi naman ako pupunta sa party.
Last night, diba after I left the house, dumiretso ako sa meeting. Napag-meetingan namin na I'll be having this project, a big one, and I'll be going overseas for that project. I'm going to fly later after my shoot to the Philippines, for personal matter, hindi pa yon yung about sa project. Pero, not too personal naman. May kumausap daw kay Daddy yesterday, from the Philippines. Business matter, yes.
Lumabas na ako sa unit ko after getting all my things. I dial Erlyn's number dahil susunduin daw nila ako. It's now 4 in the morning.
"Hello? I'm done preparing, need you now na," I said as I lock the door ng unit ko. High-secured ang mga rooms dito kaya tiwala ako.
"We're on our way. Just wait for us to the lobby. I'm driving, the girls were sleeping. I'll hung up now," sabi nya and before I could even say a single word, binabaan na nya ako ng phone.
The girls, thet're living at the same house. Sama-sama sila. Dapat nga doon nalang ako eh, kaso they said they only have small place. Sabi ko naman, pwede kaming lumipat sa mas malaking bahay, ayaw daw nila, kasi nakakahiya. Kami din naman titira don. I don't know, pero ang gulo talaga nila.
Nag-hintay ako sa lobby ng ilang minuto bago ko matanaw ang black na van na tumigil sa labas mismo ng building. Wala kasi akong kotse ngayon, I left it sa house for the members to have their service, tutal some of them know how to drive naman.
Ako naman, I can buy a car soon, kapag may ipon na ako. Dad wants to give me a car, pero sabi ko ako nalang ang bibili ng akin. With my own money. I actually could buy one now, kaso naisip ko baka hindi ko din magamit. Since I'll be working in and out of the country. Siguro soon, kapag gusto ko na talaga. At kapag kailangan na.
"Let's go na, we're gonna be late. It's a 30 minutes drive from here, baka traffic," sabi ko as soon as makasakay ako sa van.
Ah, before I forgot to tell, I have bodyguards nga pala. Apat sila, dalawa sa gabi, dalawa sa umaga. Shifting ganon. Hindi naman sila yung bodyguard na kulang nalang eh ikulong ako. They're far, pero binabantayan nila ako. Dad hired them. Apat ang hinire nya, para daw may magbabantay sakin 24/7. You know, iba na daw kasi ang panahon ngayon.
