Austin

I'm such a prick. Bakit ko naman tinanong sa kanya yun? Now we're getting back to being awkward together. Just when I thought we were getting close.

You make very bad choices, Austin. Really. Bad. Ones.

I mean, it's been a week already since I asked her that. And when we see each other on set she would go the other way kung saan ako papunta o hindi kaya pag gusto ko siyang batiin. She might be really uncomfortable around me.

Luckily, I don't have a schedule on set right now because there filming for the other actor's scenes.. So, I'm at home loitering and switching channels. I mean, I haven't even asked for her number.

This is so boring. At bakit puro shopping channels lang ang nasa t.v ko at isang kids show? Why is this so boring?

I wonder if tapos na silang mag film, Did she go home already? It's almost midnight... Also, why am I still awake? I should sleep or read my script. Yes, I should do that.

" Let's see... Which scene--- "

* Ding-dong *

I grimace at the door, who would ring the doorbell at this hour? Tsk. Who is it at this time? I swear if it's James, I will kick him immediately.

* Ding-dong *

" Coming... I'm coming! Really! I swear I'm going to kill you...u..."

" Naabala ko po ba kayo?"

What? What is this? Is she really here? In front of me? Seriously? I got speechless, what would she be doing here at this time?

" L-Lorelei... Ah! Come in. "

What should I do?! I didn't clean the living room.
Where's that robot vacuum when I need it? I bought it for a very expensive price. Why isn't it there when I need it?

" Naabala ba kita?... Mukha kasing nagbabasa ka nang script... "

" What? No... I hmm... I was just about to sleep actually. " I said throwing the script on the couch.

"Ah! Sorry... Matutulog ka na pala-"

"No! That's not what I mean. Hindi mo ako na aabala. "

She chuckled at me and I just stiffly smiled at her.

"Ngayon lang kita narinig mag tagalog. It's suits you. "

Was that a compliment? I looked at her and she seemed bothered. I wonder what's on her mind.

" Please, sit down... I'll get you something to drink. "
Why is she here? Well.... looking at her she has her carrier with her. Is she perhaps?
" So? Why are you here ?"

" Napag isip-isipan ko din kasi....naghanap ako nang pwedeng pag rentahan pero kalahatan sa kanila hindi pasok sa budget... At yung iba naman masama ang environment.... Kaya... Napagpasyahan ko na... Pag isipan ang sinabi mo kaya... Pwede pa ba ako dito? Ang kapal siguro nang mukha ko dahil sinabi ko iyon, wala na kasi akong choice...."

She shyly said as she pressed her cheeks with her palms, I smiled at her. I mean, she accepted it. 
" Of course, you're always welcome here.... "

It was a good decision that I cleaned the other room.

" Isa pa nga pala! Ano.... Diba sabi mo magluluto lang ako? Ano kasi.... Sigurado ka ba na hindi unfair yun para sa iyo? "

" No... It's really fine. "

The fact that I could see you every day is really enough. I saw her grabbing something from her bag and she placed it on the table.

"Uh, this is?" I asked looking at it
