FALLING FOR YOU ..

VIII- I Am Sorry?!

Becky was disturbed. Disturbed to the point where she felt like leaving the location just like that for the first time in her career. Nop wasn't making it easy either. It was the third and last day of shooting with him and he was in a pursuit to make her feel his presence around her. She wasn't expecting any visitor and got surprised when the assistant knocked on her door.

"Who is it?" - She looked at the assistant curiously.

"Miss. Chankimha ma'am. She has been waiting for some minutes." - The girl looked at her pleadingly. It won't be good for her if she carries a 'No' from Becky as an answer.

Becky gave her a nod and fixed her hair properly before leaving the door open for Freen.

Freen entered the room after some seconds. She closed the door behind her.

Freen's POV

I have been waiting for quite sometime, confused whether to face her or not. At last I gave up. I entered the room silently and closed the door behind me. Becky was sitting with her arms crossed against her chest. No smile. Such a grumpy girl. So cute!

She looked at me with questioning eyes after some minutes of silence. I cleared my throat.

"I am sorry Miss. Armstrong. I didn't know." -- I stammered.

"What exactly didn't you know?". -- Seriously? No 'It's okay' , No 'It's alright.'

"About him and you!" - I tried not to look at her. I can feel her eyes making holes in my head.

We sat there silently, looking at each other. The red dress which hugs her body is not making it easy for me. Her heart shaped lips , which is slightly pouted now, is so inviting.

"What is it to you? What is between him and me, how does it concern you?"-- Becky broke the silence, shaking me from my trance of studying her intently. I didn't reply.

What would I say? Should I say that everything about her concerns me. That I just want to hold her in arms and make her feel how sorry I am. I wish it were that easy.

"If you have nothing more to say Miss. Chankimha, I need to prepare for the scene." -- She stood up from her chair. I walked to the door. Turned the knob.

"Will you have coffee with me?" -- My own question startled myself. Becky faced me, shock written on her face.

"Wh....what?" -- She stammered.

"Will you have coffee with me?" -- I leaned on the door and looked into her eyes.

"I... I don't .. I don't do coffees Miss. Chankimha." -- She faced the mirror leaving me staring at her back.

" I will make sure that we will have one soon then Miss. Armstrong." - I said with a weight, opened the door and stepped out.

Becky's POV

I looked at myself in the mirror. Red hue on my cheeks and reddened ears. Am I blushing? No. That's not possible.

"Will you have a coffee with me?". -- Her voice echoes in my ears. The room still smells like her. My heart beats erratically.

Pull yourself together Bec. She may just want to apologize formally. Nothing else. But The Iceberg asked me for a coffee..! Yes, Iceberg. That's the name I found for her after our first meeting. Irin laughed till tears rolled when she heard the name.

Arrogant Rabbit! Did she even mean that sorry? She didn't say that again. If she wanted forgiveness, she would say that again, right?

"Why is Freen here everyday these days? Doesn't she have works at office? Isn't she a CEO?" -- Irin looked towards where Freen sits and asked. I didn't say anything. Today is my last day of shoot with Nop and I'm so glad that it will be over soon.

It is the scene where his character pushed me against the wall, threatening to go back to him. Nop grinned at me from across the room. The lights and camera are getting ready. Freen is sitting next to KruA and discussing something seriously.

I walked and stood near the wall. Nop stood facing me. The heat from his body is making me uncomfortable as hell. He pushed me against the wall the moment we heard "Start"..

"You will come to me and I will make sure of that." -- He gripped my hands and pressed himself against me. I am confused whether he is acting or is he being real. I looked sideways and caught Freen's eyes glaring.

"Just leave me alone and get the hell out of here.."- I tried to push him away and he tightened his grip. I can feel myself tearing up.

"Let go..." -- I said once again and tried to escape from his arms.

What the hell! He pressed his face to my neck and I can feel his heated lips and teeth nibbling on my skin. His hands gripping my waist.

It's not in the script. IT IS NOT. At least not what I received as script. It took all the force in me to push him back.

SMACK....................

-- I can feel my palm stings from the pain, which I used to slap him.

" You bi*** ..." He rushed to me, gripping my hand. I am scared. I just wonder what will he do now.

"STOP IT." -- A hoarse voice echoed in the room and everyone gathered around.

Freen shoved me behind her and faced Nop. He let go of my hand the moment he heard her.

"Bec...Baby...... are you okay? " -- Irin hugged me tightly and P'Beer brought a wet towel to wipe my face and neck.

I looked at Freen who still stand between me and Nop. Freen turned to me when KruA dragged him away. Her eyes are so red. The anger in her eyes clearly visible. Her jaws tight and knuckles white from fisting her palms. Her eyes straying from my eyes to my neck and then to my hand where he gripped.. and then to my eyes.

"Freen...... " -- before I could say anything, she stormed out.
