Regrets

Chapter 9

Becky's

Taran dropped me off at the front of our house. I didn't let her go outside her car to open the door for me, though it was already late at night, we couldn't risk the prying eyes that might be looking at us. She understood and agreed to it.

Before I hopped out of her car, I quickly kissed her on the cheek which shook her. She froze for a few moments and I just chuckled at her.

You didn't like it? I playfully asked, feigning hurt. She gave me a mischievous smile and said, Becca, I was shocked. But there's no way I didn't like it. You could go for more, I don't mind. She said, smirking. I just laughed at her and held the handle of her car door.

I'm going in now. Thank you for today. I said sweetly and sincerely.

Thank you, cutie. I enjoyed so much today, especially our date earlier. She said sincerely as well then pulled my hand and gave me a big hug which I happily returned, saying, me too.

We parted after a few moments then I finally got out of her car. I waved to her and waited for her to go before I turned to our gate and got inside the house.

I did a little catch-up with my parents, Richie and Bonbon. I played a lot with my dog since I missed him so much. After those things, I did my night routine and readied myself for bed. I'm working again tomorrow.

While lying down on my bed, I can't help but wander back to earlier's dinner with Freen and Taran. I caught her eyes having that look I still can't quite put my finger on multiple times. It also didn't go unnoticed by me how her jaw would tighten every time Taran would throw me flirty banters or would do some sweet gestures.

Was she jealous? There's just no way, right? Maybe she was really jealous, but like in a different kind of way. I'm done thinking about it now, though. I'm happy with the progress Taran and I are making. We're slowly getting there. I'm slowly getting there.

I drifted off to sleep slowly while thinking about earlier events.

Morning came and I came to work with Dad driving me to our location. I was busy with my phone exchanging messages with Taran when I heard one of the staff greeted Freen, signaling her arrival. My head automatically snapped back in her direction. Good morning P'Freen. She greeted me back and smiled.

After doing our makeup, we proceeded to shoot different scenes for our series. Taran has been extra chatty since last night that's why I was holding my phone and messaging her back with an equal amount of flirt and silliness I can return every chance I get with the small breaks in between shoots.

But despite this, I tried my best to focus on the work when it required my full attention. Freen and I didn't get to talk much aside from work. We were later informed that the last scene would be a love scene. I suddenly felt nervous.

We did this multiple times already, but given what's been happening, I'm feeling kind of nervous. I shrugged off the feeling and discussed with Freen instead the lines for the shoot we still needed to do before the love scene.

After a few more hours, we're down to the last scene. I did my best to act normal and cool. Freen didn't say much, we usually don't discuss scenes like this because we always find it the easiest scene to do. But right now, this doesn't feel easy to me at all.

The director instructed us on what they wanted to achieve. Unlike our previous series where Freen always seemed to be on top, this time I'm the one who needs to take the initiative in this love-making scene.

We got to the bed and started with our position. Like what the director wanted, I initiated the kiss, feeling a bit nervous and hesitant, but the moment Freen stared right into my eyes, I knew I was safe. I shrugged off the nervousness. I kissed her gently. After a few moments, she removed the silky robe I was wearing outside my sleeveless nightwear. She slowly crawled backward to the bed and I guided her to lay down on it ever so slowly without breaking our kiss.
