Chapter 1
Miles' POV
I was buttoning my washed denim jeans when I felt a poke in my shoulder. I glanced to the side and saw a girl standing beside me. Her age was probably playing around eighteen or nineteen.
"Yes?" I asked.
My brow raised when her eyes remained looking at the floor as if she doesn't want to meet mine.
Ngayon ko lang siya nakita dito. O, matagal na ata? Hindi ko alam. I actually don't pay too much attention to the people around me. Kahit pa mga nakakasama ko sa trabaho. I just listen to orders my manager asks me to do. Kapag natapos na, umaalis na rin kaagad ako at hindi na nakikisalamuha pa sa iba.
"Uh, Sir Miles, your turn is already approaching. Pinapatawag na po kayo ni Mr. David."
"Sandali lang, Liesa. Tatapusin ko na lang itong make up ni Miles." One of the make up artist said.
I had a glimpse of the young girl stealing glances at me. Nang makita niyang sa kaniya nakatuon ang mga mata ko, mabilis siyang tumungo.
"Mauna na po ako." sabi niya at nagmamadali nang lumabas ng back stage.
Kamuntikan pa siyang matisod sa isang sapatos na nakakalat doon dahil sa pagkataranta. I don't even know why she looks in a hurry.
"Who is that girl, Aubrey?" I asked the gay artist.
"Sino? Iyong lumapit sa'yo?" tanong niya na sinagot ko lang ng tango. "Ah, si Liesa. Bagong assistant ni Mr. David. Type mo?"
Hilaw akong natawa. "Seriously? She looks too young. Age probably playing around eighteen or nineteen."
"Hindi, ah! Nasa twenty five na iyan. Halos matanda ka lang ata ng dalawang taon."
My brow raised at her words. She's already twenty five? Doesn't seem like she is.
"A baby faced, huh?"
Sinundan ko ng tingin 'yon Liesa. Bago ito tuluyang makalabas ng pintuan ay tumingin pa siya sa akin. Another embarrassing gaze was caught from her.
Wala sa sarili akong napailing. I've been used to girls stealing glances from me. From being a campus heartthrob to an in demand super model, girls always flock to my feet. I was somehow enjoying the fame before. Lalo pa at naging mabilis ang pagpasok ko sa mundong ito.
I even became a celebrity that runs some commercials and movies. That's how fast I became popular. Kahit ako, nagugulat na lang sa narating ko sa mundong alam ko na hindi para sa akin.
Ginusto ko ang pagmomodelo at pag-aartista bilang libangan pero hindi sa paraan na magiging pang habang buhay.
It just so happened that someone approached me years ago to try modeling. I was bored that time. Naisip kong walang masama kung susubukan ko. Didn't ever imagine that I would enjoy it.
Pero wala talagang permanente sa mundo. Masaya ka sa isang bagay ngayon... maaaring bukas ay hindi na. Modelling isn't something that I would do until I grow old.
Ngayon pa nga lang... nagsasawa na ako. But since I have commitments, I still have to do it. Have to finish my contracts before ending everything and focus on running our family business.
"You're all done, Miles," sabi ni Aubrey na nagpabalik sa akin sa reyalidad.
Tiningnan ko ang itsura sa salamin. Aside from a denim jeans, I am also barefooted. Aubrey put some highlighter on my chest that shines whenever the light hit it. I am even wearing a fucking huge black feathery wings. Sa lahat ng modelo, ako lang ang naiiba. Lahat sila ay puting pakpak. Since I am the finale, I have to be different from them.
