Chapter 20: Seduction
Odette’s POV:
TO BE HONEST, KINAKABAHAN NA AKO! SOBRA!
It’s been a week since the first shoot. And sa loob ng isang linggo na yun, hindi ako nagpakita kay Vince.
Two days ago, naganap yung interview for the article, pero sinigurado ko ding wala si Vince don.
Why am I hiding from him? Geez, people! In three days na yung second shoot! Yung shoot for the cover. And alam nyo ba yung location don? Bedroom! Sa kama!!! Basta!!! Mas daring! Naka-lingerie lang ako!
Kinakabahan ako kasi… Kasi… basta! Ewan ko ba! Parang nahihiya ako or something. Aaahhhh!
Ayoko na! Ayoko na!

Ayoko naaaaaaaaaa……………..
“Magtigil ka nga, Odette! Pinasok pasok mo ‘yan tapos, aayaw ka?!” Eunice
“Nagawa mo nga yung una e, I’m sure you can do it. So stop whining, will you?” Zia
“I thought you’re a professional model? What happened?” Tiffanie
Ka-video call ko sila ngayon. Nakakainis, gusto ko nang mag-backout. I was seeking for their help to come up with an excuse but they’re not really helping. Instead, they’re pushing me to do the shoot. :( Why are they like this?
“Tiffanie, CLOTHING LINE ang mino-model ko sa’yo. Eto MEN’S MAGAZINE, okay? Naiintindihan mo ba yun?!”
“E alam mo naman palang men’s magazine ‘yan bakit um-oo ka pa?!” Eunice
Pout nalang ako. Bakit ba ayaw nila akong tulungan? :(

And then the day came…
Professional ka, Odette. Kaya mo ‘yan. Just be professional!
Isipin mo nalang, hindi ‘yan si Vince na mahal mo, na ex boyfriend mo na magiging boyfriend mo ulit na mapapangasawa mo. Okay? Professional photographer lang din ‘yan. At ikaw ay isang professional model.
The PA called me.
Chin up, Od. You can do it.
You’re not Maria Odette Lopez tonight. You’re the ever fabulous Odette Lopez.
So I entered the room where the shoot will take place. I’m on my robe, and underneath ‘em is a sexy lingerie. Everybody turned their gaze on me when they saw me. But that’s just for a split second because THEY ARE TOO PROFESSIONAL with their work. And I should be too.
“Why are you ignoring my calls and texts again?” Vince approached me while the make up artist’s retouching me.
“Huh? Oh, I’m sorry I was busy.” I tried… I REALLY TRIED to sound normal.
“Busy with what?”
I gestured the artist to stop first, then I looked at Vince. “I was busy with personal things and I don’t think a photographer should interrogate his model with stupid questions. So if you don’t mind?”
That made him shut up and leave me. But geez! He turned again with a goofy smirk. Is he making fun of me again?!

Vince’s POV:
I know you too well, Miss Odette Lopez.
The shoot have started. I can see the struggle in her face to look pro, but I know nahihirapan na sya. I’m trying to be professional too but she’s too funny! I mean, she can be professional and natural at the same time.
Do I really have to be the photographer of this shoot?
Putek! When they turned off the lights, naginit na agad ako! Bakit ang hot ni Maria?! Bumabalik sa utak ko yung mga gabing… alam nyo na.
Tsk! Napaka professional nyang mag-pose! Though halata pa din sa mukha nyang nahihirapan na sya.
“CUT! Turn on the lights. Okay na.” I shouted.
Murmurs began to spread in the room.
“Are you sure, Vince? I don’t think your shots are already enough.” Pablo commented.
“Sino ba ang art director? Ikaw o ako?”
“Huh?” Bwisit na Español ‘to.
“I have enough shots for tonight. Don’t worry, I have a better idea.” Then I left the room.
Pero bumalik ako ulit. Si Maria. Hinagis ko sa kanya yung robe tapos hinila ko sya palabas.
“W-Wait…”
We stopped in front of her suite then I pushed her in. “Matulog ka na.”

Odette’s POV:
…
…
…
Anong problema nun? =_=”
Kanina kung maka tingin akala mo nangaasar. Tapos maya maya sobrang init ng ulo. Tsk! Mood swings! Daig pa may menopausal e.
Pero… ano nga kayang problema nun?
So I decided to go to him. Nag-ayos ako ng sarili. Actually, inayos ko lang yung pagkakalagay ng robe ko. Then I went to his room.
*Knock Knock*
He was shocked to see me there.
“Bakit ka nandito? Di ba sinabi ko matulog ka na? At lumabas ka pa talaga ng naka ganyan ha? Tsk!” Argh! Bakit ang mean nya sa’kin—WHOA! “Pumasok ka nga!” Bigla nya nalang akong hinila.
I sat on his bed, while he rushed to close his laptop. Haha. Maybe he’s fantasizing over my photos? LOL just kidding.
“Vince, are yo—“ Shit! Pag tingin ko kay Vince, nasa tabi ko na sya. And not just that! He’s leaning closer… like for a kiss?
“Maria, can w—“
What was I thinking? Bakit ba ako pumunta dito ng naka-ganitong suot lang?!
I hurriedly stood up. “I’ll… I’ll go ahead. I’ll see you tomorrow, ok—Aaaah!”
Shit! He pulled me! Napa-higa ako sa kama at medyo bumukas yung robe ko. And geez this perverted guy! Ngumiti pa habang nakatingin sa ano ko.
“VINCE!” Tumayo na ulit ako, but he pulled me again.
“Isa la—“
“STOP IT!!!!!!!” Nilakasan ko na talaga yung pag tulak sa kanya and I hurriedly run out of his room.
But he’s chasing after me :(
Bakit ba nasa iisang floor lang suites namin?
Bago ko pa mabuksan yung pinto ng room ko, nahuli nya na ‘ko. Sinandal nya ‘ko sa pader, and then he locked me with his arms.
“Vince, wag—“
He kissed me. It wasn’t rude or anything. It was actually just a peck.
“Good night. I love you, and I’ll miss you.” Then he left me.

A/N: Uuuuuuuyyyy akala nila may BS. LOL. Sorry for this short update! Don't worry, a big revelation will come out on the next chapter. So prepare your feels, okay? Paghandaan nyo na kung TeamVince pa din kayo or baka maging TeamKevin kayo bigla. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Next update will be on Saturday, maybe? Most probably, yes, Saturday.
And one more thing. Gusto ko lang ipaalam sa inyo na 5-10 chapters nalang ay matatapos na ang librong ito. And I'll try my very best to accomplish it before 2014 starts. Dahil gusto ko sana, sa 2014, panibagong Campus Royalties naman ang makilala nyo. :)
THANKS FOR READING!
