"You used to call me on my cellpho-"
"James, isa pa. If you sing that one more time I'm going to go over there and kill you."
Nadine was sitting down in her chair inside the tent, reviewing her lines. James on the other hand, was scrolling through his phone, singing/humming the same song over and over again.
"You know, I wouldn't mind if you came over here."
Nadine lifted her head up to see James looking back at her, with a small smirk on his face.
"Ewan ko sayo. Magreview ka nga ng lines mo. Mamaya ilang takes nanaman tayo."
"Ano naman kung maraming takes. At least we can be together longer." He said, while playfully wiggling his eyebrows up and down.
Nadine was about to respond when a crew member came in the tent.
"Magtatake tayo in 2 minutes. Labas na kayo, bilis!"
Nadine replaced her reply with a sigh and stood up from her chair to start walking towards the exit of the tent. When she was a few steps away, James stood up and grabbed her arm, turning her around in the process.
"We are definitely not done talking about my hotling blinging. We'll continue this conversation later, Ms. Medina." After saying this, James left the tent, leaving Nadine staring at him.
"Kung maka-Ms. Medina naman to..." And she walked out of the tent as well.
The scene was supposed to be light, with them only having a few lines so that the focus could transition onto Nico and Bianca.
"James, pag dumating na si Tiffany, magwhisper kayo. Kunwari may pinaguusapan kayo na sikreto."
James just nodded and looked back at Nadine who was sitting beside him, and looked very concentrated into fiddling with her fingers. He couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at how innocent she looked, and she looked back up at him with a curious look on her face. He just shook his head but never wiped the smile off his face.
"Ready in 3, 2, 1! Action!"
"Clark, hindi naman pwede na ikaw lang ang nagaasikaso sa kasal. Siyempre dapat may contribution din ako."
James wraps his arm around Nadine, pulling her closer to him.
"Fine wifey, but kung busy ka sa work, then focus sa trabaho muna. Kaya ko naman atsaka andyan din si Tita Jack and Lola Pachang."
Bianca walks in with Nico and James starts whispering to Nadine, as ordered by their director.
He pulls his mouth down to reach her ears and starts talking in a barely audible voice.
"Guess what."
Nadine just looks up at him with an eyebrow raised as if asking 'what?'.
"You used to call me on my cellphone."
Nadine couldn't help but let out a laugh and slapped his arm.
"James, ano ba!" And the moment she said that, her eyes widened at her realization that she had just blurted out loud his name, overpowering the voices of Bianca and Nico.
"Cut! Nadine, ano yun? Hay nako talaga, ulit!"

Once they had finally finished the sequence, the two were told that Nadine had one more solo scene before they packed up. James decided to go to the tent first and set up a little surprise.
After what seemed like a million takes, all the scenes were done for the day, and the crew was told to pack up. Nadine was entering the tent when she noticed that the lights were off, and she had to go back out to check that she was in the right tent.
Baka tulog si James.
Before she could switch the lights on, a familiar song started playing.
"Ever since I left the city you..."
"Uh oh.."
James voice came in as well, and started singing along with the song. She turned on the lights to see James standing a few feet away from her, and staring at her.
He pointed at her and signaled for her to come closer to him, so she did.
He grabbed her hands and put them on his shoulders, putting them in a slow dancing position.
"I know this isn't the best song to dance to, but it's been stuck in my head all day. I want it to be stuck in yours too."
She just let out a laugh and started dancing along with him.
"Hoy kayong dalawa. Pack up na daw oh."
Ate Ca's voice startled their "moment" and they quickly let go of each other.
Once Ate Ca had left, James and Nadine just looked at each other and smiled. Nadine went straight to packing up her things in her bag, and started humming the tune to hotline bling.
James was extra happy now, especially since he was able to get the song stuck in her head, and started packing up his things as well.
