White Lies

Back To Me

a/n:

Some parts of this chapter were based on actual Lea Salonga's concert scenes, mixed with different timelines. Again this is purely fictional. Libre kiligin, pero mahal mag-assume. You've been warned.

"Is this love
Feeling restless inside
Wanting you to be always be by my side.. "

Aga watched Lea up on the stage as she sangs. Her eyes were closed and she is smiling, the smile he missed to see everytime she sees him. He is very mesmerized right now, how he wished he's still the reason behind that smile right now.

Get a grip. She must be thinking of the husband. Look away Ags. Look away. He snickered to himself.

He looked down and just fixed his gaze at the flower bouquet lying on the floor across his seat. His sorroundings came in a complete blur as flashbacks from the early briefing at the backstage overcast his trance.

"I am sorry for the short notice talaga, but Mr. M insists that you guys should announce the movie today." says Ms. Malou.

Aga looked at Lea across him, she's very stunningly hot and sexy on her all black attire; bustier top with blazers. He is wondering if she is wearing something inside her blazers, because he swear, it looks like she's just in her bra.

"Earth to Aga."

He snapped out of his thoughts and realised Lea was talking to him.

"I said you na lang mag-initiate with the topic, about our movie, the usual drill. I'll just go with the flow."

"Yeah. Of- of course. What part of the concert ba to?" Aga inquired, trying to compose himself because he was too embarassed as he was caught staring.

"What do you think Lea?" Ms. Malou's phone rang and shows it was Mr. M.

"Maybe we can have it as a filler before I sing Sana Maulit na lang. Does he need to be on stage while I sing?" Lea asked.

"Hindi naman, but its up to you, basta the key here is his announcement about the movie, he could just greet you up stage, give the flower, drop the movie, and siguro Aga pretend you feel shy na lang and go down na." Ms. Malou's phone rang again. "I have to get this, I'll leave you two ha. And break a leg Lea. Good luck."

They were left alone inside Lea's dressing room.

"Okay how do we do this?" Lea sat back the chair and crossed her arms, waiting for Aga to take the lead.

"Ganun na lang, you will call me up on stage, then few talks and there, basta mahirap mag script eh, di ba, mas madali yung go with the flow na lang. Well if its too much you can warn me naman, maybe raise an eyebrow or tap my back. Ikaw bahala."

"Siguro.. I will just pinch your nose na lang, like how Agnes does, how's that?"

"O-okay. Sige, sige."

"Okay. Now back to me. " said Lea.

Aga blinked. He looked around and realised he is still at the concert. The floor director was signaling on him to stand by.

"Do you remember who were the stars, in it.. the five boys. Okay. " Lea continued. The crowd shrieked in excitement for Bagets casts' possible appearance.

"Waiiiit." she cuts in and the crowd laughed.

She raised her hand and started to enumerate, bending a finger on every name mentioned.
