What The Heart Desires | LingOrm

Chapter 11: The Most Nutritious Snacks [E]

"Alright, crew, it's time to get ready to film the last segment for today. The highlight everyone has been looking forward to, I'm sure!" Director Nay boomed through her speakerphone.

Mae Koy and Eclair clapped excitedly nearby as crew members prepared the kitchen for the Valentine's Day scene. Eclair chuckled at Director Nay's comment. Oh, it was going to be a highlight, alright. Along with the Valentine's Day scene, their first soft love scene for the series will also be filmed today! Eclair was so excited to see how the girls would act out their parts and was looking forward to their onscreen chemistry...especially now that specific facts had been...ahem...confirmed.

Moments later, the kitchen was all set up with various food items, such as stir-fried glass noodles and son-in-law egg—the star dishes of this show. Ling and Orm walked onto the set, hand in hand, as they approached the kitchen island. Director Nay approached them to run them over how she wanted the scene to play out, patting both women on the shoulders once their briefing was over. She then walked back towards her spot behind the cameras and display screens.

"And...action!"

The girls acted out their lines wonderfully. From the sneaky glimpses from Fahlada to Earn's innocent aura, the aura that radiated between the two women when they were in the same room together was enough to blind even Eclair. They were endearing, so soft, and she honestly wanted to scoop the two women up and put them in her pocket—they were that cute.

Then, the bouquet of roses had arrived.

"The flowers are pretty," Earn stiffened, doing her best to mask her annoyance.

"They're for you," Fahlada smiled.

The way Earn's eyes lit up at that very moment practically melted her heart. It basically felt like Ling and Orm were reenacting their confession from days ago. Fahlada took one step closer towards Earn before offering the beautiful bouquet to the blonde woman.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Fahlada smiled as Earn squealed with delight.

"And...cut!" Director Nay said, poking her head out from behind the screens she was monitoring.

"That was great, girls. Loved the cheerful emotions you both displayed," Director Nay chirped.

"Wait," Ling said, with the bouquet still in her arms.

"Can we please reshoot this scene? I have a better idea of how I would like to ask Earn to be my girlfriend," Ling smirked, winking at Orm.

Orm gave her a suspicious look as if asking, "What devilish plan do you have up your sleeve, woman?".

Ling leaned in, her nose brushing gently against Orm's cheek, "Don't worry, I think you will like this version more, I promise." Orm shivered as the older woman's breath tickled her skin.

"Alright, let's do one more take of this scene," Director Nay nodded, walking back to sit behind her monitors.

"Ready? And...action!"

And so the scene was reenacted again. This time, Fahlada kneeled with her bouquet of roses in her arms before asking Earn to be her girlfriend, much like how one would kneel when proposing.

Ling had the idea to go down on one knee, the exact same way she had asked Orm to be her girlfriend just days ago, to make this scene extra special for the both of them. Electricity sizzled in the air as Earn's eyes glowed bright, recognising her emotions that day. She could almost feel an overwhelming sense of emotion wash over her as she continued with her lines. The scene ended with them embracing and kissing.
