CHAPTER SEVEN
“ANN!!” James shouted. Ann was glaring at him.
“What the hell happened here, James?!”
“I was hungry. You weren’t returning to any of my calls. I was so hungry.” James reasoned out. Ann just sigh hearing his explanation and just went to their room. Ann change into her cleaning clothes then went again to the living room.
“Before you clean up my mess, could you cook first?”
“What do you mean ‘you’? You’ll help me too, stupid.”
“Okay. I’ll help. But please cook for me. I’m dying.” James said as he rub his stomach.
“Okay.” Ann went to the kitchen and took the frying pan.
“Get me some eggs.” Ann instructed him. James went to the refrigerator to get some eggs. And instructed him again. Mix this. Mix that. After 2 minutes, the egg was done. When James was eating, he was like a barbarian who didn’t eat for a week. But actually he just didn’t eat dinner.
*********************
The next day, Ann and James woke up early for tapings and rehearsals (It’s my mistake). James went in leaving Ann behind. He was with his temporary partner, Ericka Villongco(I decided to change DEVON to ERICKA na lang:>). Ericka was so happy that James left Ann behind at the same time, she was pissed off because of the rumour. James went to Ericka and hug her.
“Hey Ericka.” James said as he flash a charming smile.
“Don’t ‘Hey Ericka’ me.” Ericka complained as she faced her script and continue reading it.
“Why? Did I do something wrong?”
“It doesn’t mean that when you two are living together in a roof, you can cheat on me.”
“Cheat on you? I never did, Ericka.”
“Oh. You never? What happened to the ‘Yes. And she’s my girlfriend.’ thing you said? Huh?” Ericka said to him faking a cry for James to stay away from Ann. The directors saw the whole thing as well as the other cast. Everyone was whispering on what happened between them. But for Ann, she was just staring at Ericka with no feeling. In short, she was EMOTIONLESS.
“Ericka, I told you. I said that because I wanted to protect her.” James reasoned out. But Ericka let out a sarcastic laugh.
“Protect her? Why do you need to protect her? Is she that important?” Ericka sobbed. James hugged her but she struggled.
“Ericka... You know you’re the only one love.” James said. Everyone was listening to their conversation. But for James and Ericka, it felt like they were the only one who was there. Even Ann heard all of it. At first, she knew that she was that ‘HER’ they were talking about. She didn’t care about what they are saying. But at the moment James said that Ericka was the only one he love, it hurt her. She didn’t know why. She knew she was completely over her past. But why did she feel pain back there?
**************************************
“Ann. Go beside James. Ericka, go beside Ivan.” The chorographer said to them. As said, Ann went beside James and Ericka went beside Ivan. It was a couple dance that only include two couples with the best moves. Ann and James was dancing a romantic rock song while Ericka and Ivan will do a hip-hop dance. The chorographer was teaching Ann and James while Ivan and Ericka will take their break.
“James put your hand around Ann’s waist. Ann, put your arms around James neck.” At first, they were both shy and for them it’s too hard to do. It’s also a bit hard to do because Ericka was there, but in the end, they both did it.
