"Kumain ka ba?" Alden asked softly as he massaged Maine's temples backstage.
She let out a loud exhale and and nodded weakly.
"Water? Baka dehydrated ka?" he asked as he continued to press his fingers on the back of her head.
She nodded again.
"Baka kulang ka sa tulog?" he asked again, his worry increasing. He put his hand against the side of her throat. "Wala ka namang lagnat. OK ka lang ba?"
Maine stretched her neck from side the side and arched backwards. "Pagod lang ako," she mumbled weakly. "Stress lang 'to, hon."
"Ano sked mo ngayon? Baka kailangan mo magpahinga. Dapat kasi matulog ka," he advised, his hands now working their magic on her stiff shoulders.
"Don't worry about me," she said, lacing her hand in one of his. "May rehearsal ako after EB, tapos may fitting kay Liz mga 6 pm, tapos contract signing at dinner around 8 pm."
Alden frowned. "Baka naman pwede ka matulog between EB at fitting mo. Kahit two hours lang. Pahinga ka naman. Or maybe you need something else. Di kita nakita na ganito ka-stressed, ah."
"It's been a really hectic week. Alam mo yun," she replied as she stood up the face him. "Thanks, mahal. You know what, tama ka. I might need something else. Akin nga kamay mo."
"Huh?"
"Give me your hand."
Alden reached out an open palm and Maine placed something cold and shiny on it, closing his hand before anyone else in the room could see what it was.
"Ano to?" he asked.
She tiptoed to nibble on his earlobe, making him blush and bite his lip. "Salamat sa massage, pero this time, tama ka. I need something else."
He opened his palm slightly to see that it was a copy of her condo key.
"Be there at 4 pm," she instructed with a naughty wink. "I need something else."
