Just Friends: The on-cam-off-cam Romance

Chapter 18 - Sweet Cheeks

Noreen's POV

Day 17 ng taping ng You're Stuck with Me. Only three days bago kami matapos. I can't believe malapit na kaming matapos mag taping. Sobrang nakakaproud isipin na patapos na kami. Pero at the same time nasasad ako dahil malapit na din kaming magkahiwalay ng cast and crew. I wonder kung magkakaroon pa kaya ako ng project na ganito kalaki pagkatapos ng movie na 'to.

Sobrang kinakabahan ako sa taping today. Kasi ngayon na ang confession ni Luke kay Hannah. Haha. Ayaw ko munang isipin. I just have to memorize my lines.

"Andiyan na si Jordan."

Those four little words made me sit up properly. Jusmiyo anong nangyayari na sa akin.

"Luh, naexcite ka?" Biglang nasa tabi ko na si Penny.

"Hindi ah."

Sobrang wicked nung tawa niya. "Jusko. Wala kayong pinagkaiba. Nakakakilig."

Tapos naglakad siya palayo na tumatawa. What was that about? I swear she gets weirder everyday. Ako din naman nagiging weird. Feeling a lot of weird stuff lately.

"Are you okay?"

Ayan na ang boses na napaupo na talaga ako nang maayos. "Jordan."

"Hey there tempura girl."

"Pfft. Wag mo na nga akong tawaging ganyan."

"Can't stop me. I like it." He sits on the chair beside me. I was nervous but comfortable at the same time.

"Alam mo if you're gonna play like this, I'm gonna have to make up a nickname for you." I face him now and he mirrors my position right away.

Ngumiti siya. Ayan na naman siya giving me chills. Ang gorgeous niya talaga.

Okay. Focus.

"A nickname? Should I give you some suggestions?"

"No."

"How about 'sweetie'?"

"No."

"Sweet cheeks?"

"Jordan, sabi ko nickname, hindi endearment."

Tumawa siya. Naiinis ako kasi he's even more gorgeous when he's laughing.

"Ugh. Wag na nga. Next time, makakaisip din ako."

"Sure tempura girl."

"Ayoko parin isipin yung eggs and stuff na binuhos mo. It stuck to the make up and stuff. Speaking of make up, wala parin yung make up artist ko. Nasan na ba yun?"

"Please. You d0n't even need make up."

Hala siya.

Natahimik nalang ako. Kasi di ako makaisip ng sagot. Did he really just say that?

A few seconds after that tumayo siya at pumunta sa bag ko.

"Anong ginagawa mo?"

He rummages my bag. "Hui ano yan."

"Oh, here." He gets out my make up and walks toward me.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm bored." He shrugs.

"So mag mmake up ka? Woah there."

"No I'm putting make up on you, silly."

"Hoi wag ka nga diyan. Ayoko nga."
