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

Chapter 23

After that, I started to observe Mel. I can't let my guard down knowing that she might like my girlfriend. I trust Jayde, but I don't trust this woman.

"Who are you talking?" I asks when I saw her holding my phone, talking to someone. I was asleep the entire time and then when I woke I found her staring at the window laughing with my phone on her hand.

"Your lover called," she replied. The smile she had earlier vanished instantly. "You were sleeping so I answered the call. I told her you were asleep because you're exhausted, don't worry."

Ibinalik niya sa akin ang cellphone, pero tapos na ang tawag.

"Don't call her, she said she's going to study because she have a long quiz tomorrow. Tatawagan ka lang daw niya mamaya 'pag tapos na siya."

I didn't listen to her. I called Jayde.

"Hey, gising ka na pala." Jayde's smiling face appeared on my screen. "Mabuti sinabi ni Mel sa 'yo na tumawag ka kapag gising ka na."

Agad kong binalik ang tingin ko kay Mel, pero wala na siya roon. Akala ko ba sinabi ni Jayde na siya ang tatawag sa akin pagkatapos niyang mag-aral?

"You're frowning, babe. What's the matter? What's bothering you? What's on your mind? You can tell me. I'll listen."

Agad nawala ang inis ko kay Mel dahil sa sunod sunod na tanong ni Jayde sa akin. Hindi ko sinabi sa kanya ang duda ko kay Mel dahil wala pa naman akong matibay na proof na may gusto siya. Pero alam kong interesado siya kay Jayde. Woman instinct.

"You're going to stay in Boston for six months?" Tanong ni Jayde.

"Yup. Don't worry, after nito uuwi rin naman kami kaagad dahil may new project ako. Malapit na rin naman 'to matapos, kahit 'di na umabot ng six months, pagkatapos lang namin i-shoot lahat ng scenes, I'm good to go. Puwede namang hindi na ako um-attend ng promotion. My co actors are fine without me."

"Don't say that, you can attend the promotions. It will help you, a lot. And your project can wait, so am I." Jayde glared at me smiling. "

I followed what Jayde said.

Pinagbutihan ko nang maigi ang acting ko, dumalo rin ako sa lahat ng promotions. My followers on my social media accounts boosted. I got 3.1 million on IG, 2 million on twitter, and 3.5 million on Facebook. My popularity boosted incredibly. Lalo na no'ng pinalabas na ang series namin dito sa Boston. Mas lalo ring dumami ang fans ko nang malamang may upcoming project ako, which is GL series.

"You're really popular now," saad ni Mel.

I nodded. It's a good thing for me; also a bad thing.

"You should be careful about your personal relationship, marami nang nakaabang sa lahat nang mga kilos mo." Mariing sabi ni Mel. "You can't be seen having date with someone who's not from the industry, lalo na ngayong may upcoming GL series ka. The fans are hype. They already ship you with Lily."

Lily is the name of the woman I'm going to work with. In other words, we're going to be a couple in this upcoming series.

"Your ship name is LiReeve." She muttered.

I sigh. Heto na naman tayo sa ship name.

Jayde knows about it. And she's excited to watch me play a different role.

"I'm excited about your new project, babe." She smiled. "It's your first time doing GL."

I nodded.

"I haven't meet Lily yet," I said watching her scribbled down something on her note. "I hope she's a nice girl."
