Lost in Love | LingOrm (GxG)

1 - Her Effect On Me

How can someone as shy as me, yearning to touch her every second and every moment?

Living as an actress for all these years, I never thought I'd be so addicted to my co-star like this. I want to be beside her, I want to see her, I want to text her, do nothing with her, like all the time.

It must be because she's a woman so I feel comfortable for the very first time. Yeah, that must be it.

"Lingling Kwong!!!"

Her voice roams around the crowded room as she runs toward me only to hug me tightly as if she finally saw me after years. When in fact, we just met yesterday.

"Don't you miss me, P'Ling?"

My cheek starts to hurt because I cannot stop smiling from ear to ear whenever I am near her. We have not even started filming yet, why am I already acting like a lovestruck teenager?

Oh, speaking of lovestruck, there's this scene that has been troubling me since day one. The breakup scene of someone who's blindly in love. Trust me, I have shot breakup scenes before but I never read something so heartbreaking like this series. I also have breakup experiences, of course, but I got over them quickly, some even without any tears at all. So tell me, how can I film that scene with that level of pain?

"Just imagine you're really losing me, P'Ling. Not Earn, but Orm." Orm looks me in the eye when she says that as I gulp nervously, seeing her being dead serious.

She smiles a bit and continues, "We're gonna shoot that scene next week anyway so we still got plenty of time." Her face slowly leans dangerously close to mine which makes me unconsciously hold my breath.

 "Let me help you with that, P'Ling. I'll make you afraid of losing me."

.

ACTION!

How can she stare at me like that all the time? During the shoot or not, she still has that look on her face whenever she looks at me.

"Why are you out in this cold, Nong Earn?" I touch her face and everything seems to slow down and freeze, making me focus on her sincere gaze towards me. Acting romantic scenes with her makes me feel like we're not acting at all. It is so natural that makes me wanna be her partner forever.

I guess it is because we are the same gender so I feel this homey.

"You're burning up. Let me take care of you, okay?" I take off my coat and wrap it around her only to feel my heart stop when her face is so close to mine. I can feel her warm breath over my skin as everything fades out, including the voice of our director calling out, "CUT!"

'Hug her.' A thought comes up in my mind as I bite my bottom lip to suppress the urge to comply with my thought only to find my body moving on its own.

"P'Ling?" I ignore her soft voice filled with confusion, not having the energy to stop my arms from touching her waist to pull her closer to me. I can feel her freeze on her spot when our lips are inches apart from each other but slowly relaxes after I tilt my head to rest on her shoulder, circling my arms around her back, tightening our hug but making sure she's not hurt.

"Let me rest for a bit."

A smile comes across my face when I feel her hugging me back while whispering,

"The Lingling Kwong, starting to feel attached to her Nong Orm, hmm?"

.

If you're wondering, how much time do I need to feel close to someone, I will tell you it might take months.

But with her? It's only been two weeks but I can say I care about her. I really do.

I do not know why, we just clicked.

"P'Mam, I think I can drive myself home." I tell my manager and she looks at me like I am insane.

"You're not tired? You always look like a zombie after a long shooting. Are you sure about that?"

I roll my eyes as I point my forefinger at myself, "Do I look like a zombie now?"

She shakes her head, still looking unconvinced.

"Don't worry, P'Mam. I'm not that tired, you can go home now. It's fine."

"Really?"

"Yes"

"Text me when you get home, okay?"

"Yes"

"You're waiting for Nong Orm, aren't you?"

"Yes"

"Huh?" I never know I can move my head this fast to look at her as she laughs joyfully in front of me.

"Now, now. I never seen you being this clingy with your co-star before." She touches my forehead and not letting go as she continues, "You're not sick, so what happened to you?"

I am about to retort back but a sweet voice interrupts us. "P'Ling?"

P'Mam immediately retreats her hand as if she just saw someone glaring at her. Turning my body around, I see Orm walking towards us hurriedly.

"I'm going now, Ling. Take care!" Not even any second passed, and P'Mam already disappeared, leaving me with a rapid heartbeat.

"Why you're not going home, P'Ling?"

'Think of an excuse now! Come on Ling, think quickly.'

Seeing how slow I am in responding to her, Orm is not helping me at all by moving closer to me and suddenly touching my cheek gently. "Your face is burning up, are you alright?"

"Come, let me take you home."

"No!" I grab her hand as I speak firmly, "Let me drive you home. I'm fine, I was waiting for you."

That seems to catch her off guard as she pours out whatever comes to her mind, "Why are you waiting for me?"

And the stupid me, of course, would start babbling nonsense when I'm being this nervous. "Well, it's late already and your mom doesn't come to the set today, so I was worried you'd go home by yourself. That's why, although I got off work earlier than you, I stood here to wait for you to come out and even rejected P'Mam's offer to drive me. Gosh, am I explaining too much? All I wanna ask is, would you let me take you home then?"

I swear, her giggles sound like a dream to me as my heart warms when I know she's giggling because of me. But then, her next words catch me off guard, like totally.

"Do you know how much I want to kiss you right now for being this cute?"
