TOWARDS THE STARS

🍅 Episode 10 🍅

Austin

" Bro, question *munch* why do you *munch* look so *munch* distracted? It's been *munch* a week? Two weeks? *munch* hmmm? *munch* "

I have one question, what does he think his doing? His really---

"James. " tawag ko sa kanya

" Huh? *munch* you gonna answer me? *munch* "

" The only answer here would be how the Dear James mysteriously disappeared without a trace. Freaking Go Home! And stop eating at my house! Get your freaking feet off my coffee table and stop spreading your crumbs all over the freaking house! "

I really have it with him. Papatayin ko na talaga siya gamit ang vacuum na hawak hawak ko. What does he think my house is? a pigpen? he comes here, eats all my food, and trash the whole place?

" Woah! Bro! Chill! Put down the vacuum. I... I'm going okay. See... I'm walking away... I'm walking... To the door..... Just kidding! I'll be in your room hahaha!"

SLAM!

Tsk. Stupid. His very stupid. How many times did I vacuum now? Spreading crumbs all over the house. Bahay niya ba ito? 

Napatingin ako sa couch ko and under sa couch may parang pinkish akong nakita, I lift it up and I immediately scorned holding a curled-up stinky sock na alam ko na hindi akin. 

"Seriously, what a pig."

But that's not my problem right now. What I did, was to help her... But in the end. Was she angry at me? Or was I just to forward?

She paid the bill and just said thank you and goodbye. She was directly giving me a line that I shouldn't cross. Is she perhaps at the office? Should I call Jos? But she'll be suspicious of me, knowing she's quick-witted and all. What should I do-

* Ring * *Ring *

" Hello? " I said as soon as I picked up

[ Austin? Tinawagan ako kanina nang production, kaka usapin ka daw ni Derik? Pupuntahan na kita diyan ngayon mag handa ka... ]

I couldn't say anything else when she suddenly hang up. I changed into my work clothes and stared at my room.

" You better be gone! I'm serious James, I'll really kill you!"

I don't know what reason I'm being called. But I'm getting a bit nervous. Having the role of the main lead, marami akong dapat baguhin sa sarili para mas ma portray ko ang whole story and I really should do my very best. This is Her story. I couldn't afford to disappoint her.

" Do you know why he called me?"

" No idea, maybe he just wants to talk to you. Hihintayin ka nalang nakin dito... "

I walked towards his office and knocked three times before coming in.

" Ah! Austin, you must be confuse kung bakit kita pinatawag... Please sit down. "

I sat down across from him. I smiled a little looking at him. He really has aged, no offense though. He aged wonderfully.

" Could I ask? kung bakit niyo po ako pinatawag?"

" Relax, gusto ko lang kausapin ang aktor ko hahahaha!"
He gave me a glass of wine and I chuckled looking at it.
" To tell you the truth, I have never been this happy making something... I found a good story, and I found a good actor. I look forward to working with you again Austin. "

" I too, Sir am very honoured. I'll be sure to do my best. "

He laughed and drank his wine.
" That girl. She's different... I could feel it, she can make a difference in her line of work. "
