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

Chapter 18

"Don't forget to wake up early tomorrow," Mel reminded me. "You need to be at the location at 6:30 am, you hear me?" She looked at me.

I nodded and gave her a thumbs up. I dropped my gaze again to the paper I'm holding. I'm reading my script for tomorrow's shoot.

I met up with Mel and the others inside the XYXY building. Kanya kanya kaming basa ng script at practice para sa scene na i-sho-shoot bukas.

"Did you bring your car with you?" Mel asked as she handed me a bottled water.

"May susundo sa akin." I smiled and accepted the water.

Sinubukan kong buksan ang bottled water pero hindi ko mabuksan. I struggled opening the bottled water when Mel snatched it away from me. She opened the bottled water and gave it to me.

"Thank you," I uttered.

Nagbasa ulit ako ng script, binitiwan ko lang ang papel na hawak ko nang marandaman kong nag vibrate ang cellphone ko sa bulsa. I dropped the paper on my lap and pulled out my phone from my pocket.

A message from Jayde.

From: Baby
Are you done?

I typed a reply.

Ako:
Not yet. Nasa labas ka na?

Wala pang isang minuto nakatanggap ulit ako ng reply sa kanya.

From: Baby
Yup. Just take your time. I can wait. *insert wink emoji*

I maintained a straight face while sliding my phone inside my pocket. I picked up my paper again. Doon ko lang pinakawalan ang ngiti kong kanina ko pa pinipigilan. Nakangiti akong nagbabasa ng script habang umiiling.

Jayde, kasalanan mo 'to.

"You're smiling," someone uttered.

I looked up and saw Iver, the male lead. He smiled at me.

"What are you doing here?" Tanong ko.

Hinili niya ang isang monoblock chair. Umupo siya sa tabi ko habang dala dala ang script niya.

"Can I have your number?" Diretso niyang tanong.

Sinulyapan ko si Cheska, ang female lead at ka love team ni Iver. Hindi niya naman napansin na nawala si Iver sa tabi niya.

"Bakit? We followed each other on IG right? Hindi pa ba sapat 'yon?" I faked a laugh.

"Just for work you know, in case you're not online and there's an urgent shoot." He reasoned out.

He tried to reach for my hand, but I immediately held it away from him. Nanlamig ako bigla. Umiba ang pakiramdam ko, medyo may kaba at nag flash back na naman ulit sa utak ko ang mukha ni Kirk.

I dropped my head and closed my eyes.

"What did you do to her?" Narinig ko ang matigas na boses ni Mel.

"I didn't do anything," Iver replied. I can feel him standing.

Mel squeezed my shoulder, my body jumped because of it.

"Are you okay?" Nag-aalala niyang tanong.

My hands were shaking as I reached my phone from my pocket. Dali dali akong pumunta sa green icon ng phone ko. Ni long press ko ang number one, for my speed dial. A second later, Jayde's number appeared flashed on my screen. Naka isang ring lang at agad niyang sinagot.

"Hey, you done?" Tanong niya.

Her voice calmed me down a little bit.

"Can you pick me up here?" My voice shake.
