Finally! The shoot for today has ended!

"Good job today guys, magpahinga na kayo see you all tomorrow." Direct palmor said.

Everyone is busy sa pagliligpit ng mga gamit. Maggagabi na rin kasi ng matapos kami sa shooting namin and I'm pretty much exhausted but... the sunset made me forget about it. It's breaktaking!

Orange and pink clouds mixed together is truly amazing. It was scattered all over the skies.

I flinched when I heard my phone ring. Kinapa ko kaagad ang aking shoulder bag. Sinagot ko kaagad ito ng makuha ang cellphone sa bag I didn't even had a chance to see the caller's name.

"Hello." Sagot ko sa tawag.

"Ms. Valmorida." Boses pa lang ay alam ko na kung sino ang caller, parang tumaas balahibo ko dahil sa paraan ng pagtawag niya sa akin. It wasn't seducing me but... his husky voice made me feel like he was.

My mouth formed an 'o' when I remembered something.

"Oh my- sorry I-I'm at boracay right now may shooting ako for two days nakalimutan kong sabihin sayo kanina, sorry!" Hindi ko namalayan na nasabi ko na pala iyon sa malakas na tono dahil sa pagkataranta. I felt the eyes that was looking at me so I quickly left the filming set without ate kisha.

"Kanina ko lang kasi nalaman, sorry talaga." Dugtong ko.

"Boracay? Which part of boracay are you?" He asked in a calm voice.

"Ahh, sa Blue Lagoon Beach Resort. Sorry talaga, I did intend to tell you about it but I forgot. Sorry."

Kahit ang totoo naman ay nakalimutan ko talaga na paguusapan pala namin ang kontrata pagkatapos ng shoot.

"It's okay, I understand. You don't need to apologise." Saad nito but a part of me feel guilty. I'm guilty asf.

"Hindi! Babawi ako sayo pagbalik ko, pangako." I expressed full of determination.

I heard a cough on the other line.

He chuckled. "I'm looking forward then, I gotta go. Good bye, Ms. Valmorida."

"Xochi." I corrected, "call me, Xochi. Hindi natin kailangan maging masyadong pormal sa isa't isa." I explained and I heard him chuckle.

"Xochi-" his words were cut off. I accidentally pressed the red button. I cup my face, bakit ang init ko? I also checked my reflection sa camera ng phone ko at namumula mukha ko.

The way he called my name was just so unexplainable. Ang lakas ng dating sa akin ang babaw ko.

"Wait, where did he get my number?" Nagtataka kong tanong sa sarili. I don't remember giving him my number though o baka naibigay ko na pero hindi ko lang maalala?

"Xochi!" I look back when I heard someone calling my name. I look back and saw Shirley walking towards me, she wave at me.

"Shirley." I greeted her with a smile nang makarating sa pwesto ko.

She smiled back. "Pabalik ka na sa resort?"

I shooked my head. "Oo sana, kaso hindi ko makita si ate kisha."

"Your manager right?" I nodded as a response, "I saw her with the other managers, kasama niya rin si Chase, manager ko. May pupuntahan ata sila."

"Ohh..." I trailed off, bakit hindi man lang sinabi sa akin ni ate kisha?

"Tara?" Yaya niya na nginitian ko lang.

The akward atmosphere between us made me uncomfortable, an awkward silence.
