Janella De Leon

9: Photoshoot

Janella's POV

I was lying in my bed.
Holding my phone in my hands, yes I haven't texted Jane yet.

I was busy thinking about what my dad said.

I sighed and sat up, leaning my back against the bed frame and stared at Jane's number.

I should call her-

No! Thats weird, why would I?

I opened the chat up and decided to just text her.

"Hey Jane, not sure if your awake or not, not that I care. But my dad told me to ask you about what time we're going to the photoshoot tomorrow" I sent the text.

Seen.

That was pretty quick.

"Well im awake alright, the photoshoot is around 1pm" She texted back.

" 'Kay thanks" I replied.
"Wait Janella" She texted and was typing.
"Do you mind maybe after the photoshoot tomorrow, we eat a snack out together?" She asked.

I furrowed my eyebrows at my phone, staring at her text.

"May I ask why?" I replied.
"I just want to have your company, and maybe talk about this soon to be marrige of ours" She replied.

I kind of agree with her.

I do want to have her company.

"Alright sure" I sent.
"Thank you" She said back.

I was about to turn my phone off until I saw her typing again.

"Goodnight my fianceé ;)" She texted.

I held back my smile but failed.

This woman really- She really does not know how bad down I am for her.

"Goodnight to you too dummy" I replied and turned off my phone.

Falling asleep wasnt hard, after texting Jane.

It was like everything was great.

Jane's POV

It was 1pm and I was already at the photoshoot.

Make up artists were putting makeup on me after I put on the assigned wedding dress.

I waited for Janella to come, looking at every person who enters the place.

I wanted to see her badly.

And then finally, she entered the place.

Her eyes fell on me.

"Janella" I said and waved.

She didnt get to say hi back because a makeup artist went up to her.

Telling her she needed to get ready quick.
I watched her as she walked away.

"And your all done" My makeup artist said.
"Salamat po" I said and stood up out of the chair.

I walked away from the scene and went to go to Janella's changing room.

I knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" She asked.
"It's me your fianceé" I replied.

"How many times will you call me that name?" She asked. I smiled, "I'll stop once we get married" I replied.

"What do you need Jane?" She asked and opened the door.

"Wow you put on that dress quick" I said and she crossed her arms.

"Ms. Janella we need to do your makeup" The makeup artist called.

She nodded and walked past me, walking up to the makeup artist and taking a seat at the chair.

I watched as she got prepared.

I couldnt hold my smile back.

She noticed me staring and raised an eyebrow.
"Why are you staring at me?" She mouthed the words.

"Ang ganda mo kasi" I replied.
"Well do you mind? It's creepy" She mouthed back.

I chuckled.

"And don't call me pretty, it's weird" She added.
"I'll call you whatever I want to" I said back.

It had been 30 minutes of preparing and we were finally ready to take photos.

We got into the white screen.

"Alright so I want you Ms. Jane to hold Ms. Janella's waist with both of your hands and look into her eyes, then Ms. Janella please put your hands on Ms. Jane's shoulders, looking back into her eyes" He explained.

We followed as he said.

Staring at each other.

Through her eyes I could see my reflection.

I noticed she looked like something was bugging her.

Was she nervous?

"Hey don't be nervous" I whispered.
"I'm not nervous" She replied.

"Then what's bugging you?" I asked.
"Nothing...im just not comfortable" She replied.

Shes not comfortable, with me?

"Is it because of me?" I whispered, asking.
"No" She replied straight forwardly.

I furrowed my eyebrows.

What else could possibly be bugging her?

We took a few photos and it was finally over.
I still couldn't understand why she felt uncomfortable earlier.

I was waiting inside my car for a Janella since she had to go to the bathroom and she told me to go ahead and she'll meet me outside.

But I forgot to tell her we're using my car.

I pulled my phone out and texted her.

"Janella nakalimutan kong sabihin sayo na gagamitin natin yung sasakyan ko" I texted.

But then realized Janella was already outside.
I saw from inside my car window.

Except there was a guy with her, talking.

It was one of the assistants for the photography photos.

They were then near my car and I could hear their conversation.

Though Janella didn't notice me.

"Come on, shes not that pretty" The guy said.
"Plus, I can show you how much better I am than her" He added.

They were standing behind my car.

"I told you i'm not interested, i'm only interested in my fianceé" Janella replied.

Thats when I realised what was making her uncomfortable.
