The Director

Take 9

(Hello! Thanks again for reading this story. Habang vacation pa po update lang ako hehe. next week busy na ulit. Kaya susulitin na. )

"Ready for the shooting today? Are you really okay now, Sam?"

I asked.

"Yes Sarah, I am good now. "

"Good to hear that. "

"You told me that everything's going to be okay."

"Yup. I just believe that."

So together we went to the place where the 4th shooitng day for our movie is going to take place.

"Sarah! You're here now! I miss you!"

"Kuya Pancho... Hehehe... "

"Why are you laughing? Don't you miss me?"

"Hahaha. "

"You keep on laughing ah. Maybe you just miss this man behind me."

"Ha?"

"I mean ... Sam... You miss Sam right? Because he was not here the last time you had your shooting."

"Kuya Panch! That hurts! Ouch!"

"What happened to you Chico? haha."

"I miss Sarah too. I just don't know if someone out there feels the same haha."

"I know. I know."

"I think we have to start the shooting guys."

Now he speaks. He was just there behind us, being busy with something. Fixing something, I don't know.

"Are you not going to greet her Direc Bamboo?"

"Yah, ofcourse, Hi Sarah."

Then he kissed me on the cheek. Then he smiled.

"Hi."

I greeted him back. Aside from that word , what can you say when someone kissed you on the cheek and you are not used to it?

"Let's go. We have to start now as what the director have said."

Sam looks at me while saying that takes my hand and then guides me going to a bench.

"I think she's not going to be comfortable there. Sarah you can just sit here."

Bamboo puts another chair with a pillow in it.

"Ammm.... Hmmm... Torn between two chairs right Kuya Panch? Right?"

"Haha. Right Chico. Guys excuse me I thought we're going to have the shooting now... "

The two keep on whispering though I can hear them.

"I'm I don't need to sit anyway, we're going to stand almost all the time for the shooting."

"Are you sure you don't need to rest even for a while?"

"Yup. I'm okay Sam."

"Sam may I remind you that you have to do it better today... You we're not here the last time."

"Okay."

..................................................................................................................................

"What? Panch? Are you sure we are going to follow everything on the script?"

"Why? What's the matter?"

"Look. It's quite intimate. I mean the scenes."

"What's intimate with just some sorts of sweet scenes? Is that intimate for you already?"

"But it is. "

"He's just going to hold her waist and then they are going to dance and then he's going to say I love you then, a fast kiss on the lips. What's intimate there?"

"Kissing scene. I think it's not appropriate for her to have that scenes."

"Haha. Okay. I see. But we cannot change the script."

"But as a director, I can change the scenes that they are going to act."

"Well... You said you are the director so ... yah..."

"Is it okay? What do you think?"

"If it's for the love, why not. haha."

"What? What do you mean?"

"Nothing. I mean, why don't you ask the two actors first. If they don't like the scene or they cannot do those scenes, that's the time that you are going to omit that scene."

"Okay."

................................................................................................................................................

"Sarah, can I talk to you for a while."

He asked. I don't know what we're going to talk about.

"Ammm.. okay."

"I just want to ask if it's okay for you to ... You know... The film will be having... some..."

"SPG scenes?"

I laughed.

"Sort of. so..."

"Yah, I mean. If it's for the movie, why not? "

"But before you we're not doing such things right?"

"Yah...but ... It's a different challenge for me now in this movie so I think there's nothing to worry about. As long as I can do it why say no."

"Are you really sure? Cos there's no backing out."

"Yap. No backing out. And besides, I know Sam for quite along time. I am comfortable with him."

I don't know what happened to him. If I am to draw his face, I don't know what I can draw. What's his problem? Is he expecting an opposite answer from me? I am on the legal age already and I can handle myself with those scenes. And one mroe thing, he just asked me, and I just answered his question.

"But don't worry, we are not going to let you do things you don't wanna do."

He said then our next shooting will start again.
