Loving, Caring Hearts Book II of Lying Cheating Hearts (Completed)

Chapter 21

"Show your neck Miss Aileen," utos ng photographer.

Nararamdaman ko na ang frustration nila sa'kin. Mahirap pala ang maging model.

"Um okay, okay," sagot ko and tried to stretch my neck. I wanted to elongate the look of my neck pero mali pa rin ata ang nagawa ko. Ngumiwi ang isang photographer at umiling ang isa.

"Relax Babe. Do not think about it too much," sabi ni Jake and he squeezed my hand.

Jake's patronizing me. Napanguso na ako. Pa'no ba kasi?

We were in the streets of Barcelona and the photographers were taking pictures of us. And while that's going on, several things were also going through my head kaya hindi ako maka-concentrate.

People in the streets didn't seem to care about us posing and the photographers taking our pictures pero naiilang pa rin ako. May tumitingin pa rin naman kasi. Eh I was not a model. I looked like an amateur, a wannabe with Jake by my side.

Jake was acting or modelling at ang galing galing nya. It was unsettling kasi shouldn't this pre-nup be natural? Eh parang magazine cover, eh weird yun kung ganon nga ang kalabasan. Diba dapat yung walang actual modelling involved dahil pre-nup pictures ito for an actual wedding, our wedding to be exact? I didn't want us to look like models, especially that he is one, I wanted us to look like regular people in love.

Pero napakagandang tingnan ni Jake, nakamamangha sya. Aside from having perfect facial features and a perfect body, the camera really loves him. Ang galing nyang mag-pose. At dahil dun hindi ko narerealize na kasama pala ko. Hindi ako pwedeng mamangha lang, kailangan ko ring mag-project, which was so hard. And have I mentioned that he was super distracting to look at?

Nakaka-insecure sya, not just with how confident he is, but also with how he looks and how he carries himself. Ang dami kayang tao. Nakakahiya pero ba't di sya makaramdam ng hiya?

How's this possible? I'm insecure with my own groom?!?

He was in his element and I was looking like a total amateur. Pero I need to relax more into this kasi we only have today and tomorrow to shoot here in Barcelona.

Is this how things will be for the next couple of days? Shooting in front and around a lot of people? Pa'no na 'pag maraming tao na talaga?

"Miss Aileen? Are you okay?" tanong ng photographer dahil lumilipad talaga ang utak ko.

"I'm sorry!" sigaw ko at ngumiwi.

Jake sighed. "Let's take five," sabi nya sa lahat.

"I'm sorry Babe! I'm such an noob. Hindi ko alam na I have zero modelling skills pala," sabi ko.

"Hinakot ko kasi nung nagpa-ulan si Lord ng modelling prowess. Pasensya na," biro ni Jake at hinalikan ako sa ulo.

"Mamigay ka naman?" hingi ko. "Please?"

"Ay, sorry. Ayaw," biro nya at ngiti.

Kinilig ako sa ngiti nya pero bumalik din agad sa task at hand. "Pa'no ba kasi?" tanong ko and sighed.

"I think you're overthinking. Just let it happen. Seduce the camera," bigay nya ng tips.

"Kaya pala, e magaling ka kasi sa seduction eh no?"

"Just focus on me. Show me how much you love me and the camera will get that," he said. "Wait, I'll talk to them."

He went to where the photographers were resting and spoke to them. Hindi ko alam kung anong sinabi nya sa kanila pero tumango naman sila sa mga sinabi nya.
