Payb Takes

Stelle

Title Translation: Stars

May 21, lunchtime, Villa Camilla, Como, Italy:

R&M just had lunch and decide to join the rest of the cast and crew.

M: Uy, may Foosball table! *chimes excitedly*

R: Naglalaro ka nyan? Marunong ka?

M: *smirks* Ehem.. Magaling ako. We used to play a lot sa New York ngayon hindi na.

R: Weh?? Yabang naman ng Love ko. *massages M's shoulders*

M: Hindi yun yabang. Totoo yun. Subukan mo pa.

R: Sige. Subukan natin.

M: Paano pag natalo ka? *whispers* Wala kang Payb Takes for 24 hours.

R: Grabe naman yun. *pouts*

M: Ano na? Ayaw mo na? Alam mo kasing matatalo kita. Tsk tsk.

R: Alam mo, ikaw. *pinches M's nose* Wag mo akong sinusubukan.

M: *smirks* Game na kasi. Ano na? First to make ten points.

R: O sige. Call ko yan pero pag ako nanalo... *whispers* Tutuloy natin ang hot tub scene na naudlot nung tumakas tayo. No phones allowed.

M: *giggles* Grabe sya.

People around them grin and laugh as the couple whisper to each other, curious but too happy for them to even ask what the bets are.

They start playing. R struggles to make a few points while M scores them with ease. Some of the cast and crew take videos and photos while the two play.

M easily wins the game. R is partly disappointed but mostly happy and proud for M. He smiles with amusement as he watches M do her victory dance.

"One more thing I discovered about you, Love... One more thing to adore about you." R thinks to himself.

After the day's work, M already in her room is getting ready for bed. She hears her phone ring and answers the call.
