Secretly Dating Her (Spotlight Series #1) [Complete]

Chapter 9

"Wrap your arms around his neck, and then lift your legs, Kirk hold it. And then look at the camera, then cut!"

I sigh deeply after the photoshoot. Masiyadong intimate, pero sanay naman na ako roon dahil parte 'yong ng trabaho.

"Do you want to have a dinner after this?" Tanong ni Kirk galing sa likuran ko.

"No," I automatically decline. "I'll sleep after this, I'm so tired."

He nodded. "Then, I'll just go hang out with my friends after this."

I nodded. I don't care anyway.

Saying that I'll go and sleep was a lie. I'll go to Jayde after this, doon ako magpapahinga sa kaniya.

"Can I call you tonight?" Kirk asks rubbing the back of his neck, his eyes can't look at me.

I turned around to face him, I put my hands on my waist, raising my eyebrows at him.

"Look, Kirk, you don't have to act like this." I frankly said. "I know you confessed; I already know that you have feelings for me, but you know that I can't reciprocate right? I don't feel the same way. Let's just go on with the fake dating, no need to act like this," I said.

He swallowed hard. I can see his adams apple going up and down. A visible pain registered in his before he lifted it to look at me. He take step forward and hold my hand.

"That's harsh, Reeve," he commented. "I know that you don't feel the same way," he paused. "But, I'll do anything to catch your attention. Even if I'll have to force you," his voice is cold. "What do you think will happen if I'll tell the public that we're just faking our relationship? What will happen if I tell them that you rejected me? What will happen if I tell them all of these, huh? Think about your career, Reeve."

He let go of my hand and took a step back before leaving.

I swallowed hard, trying to compose myself because of what he said. I never imagine that he could say something like that to me. He is threatening me.

Nawala ako saglit sa sarili dahil sa sinabi ni Kirk. Hindi ko maiwasang hindi mangamba dahil baka kung anong gawin niya. Nawala lang siya sa isip ko dahil biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko.

"Mich!" I greeted as soon as I pick up the call. "After decades you finally called me."

Narinig ko mahinang tawa niya galing sa linya.

"You're exaggerating, I haven't called you for months lang no. I was busy. By the way tumawag ako kasi I want to invite you, dinner sana, with Trevk."

"Sure, send me the location."

Mich and Trevk are my childhood friends. Hindi na kami gaanong nagkikita ngayon dahil medyo abala na kami sa kaniya kaniya naming mga buhay. Mich is a model, she's famous in the industry. Trevk, is studying agriculture in there province. Minsan lang siyang pumunta rito sa city kapag bumibisita siya sa akin.

"You didn't tell me that you're coming back in Philippines, sana nasundo kita sa airport," saad ko sabay upo sa harap niya.

"I don't want to bother you, I know you're busy."

Umiling na lang ako at uminom ng tubig.

"I already ordered for us," she informed me. "Itong si Trevk ang tagal, parang babae kung kumilos." Paismid niyang sabi sabay dungaw sa cellphone.

"It's Trevk." I laughed. "What do you expect?"

"Hoy!" Umalingawngaw ang boses ni Trevk sa likuran ko. "Rinig ko 'yon," aniya at umupo sa tapat namin.

"Good thing, you're not deaf," Mich said sarcastically.

Hindi na nakaganti si Trevk dahil dumating na ang mga pagkain na i-n-order ni Mich para sa amin. He just rolled his eyes at her.
