Chapter 26: Should’ve Been A Model
(Jerwin's POV)
---------------- ?
Sigh. This is great. Just astoundingly great. -___-
I watch as Mr. Gordon stalks back and forth in front of me. He's yelling at his phone na parang wala na syang chance magalit pa bukas.
We're 15 minutes behind schedule. If I knew this was gonna happen, Venice and I would have stayed a bit longer dun sa bahay nina Manong Ben.
It was a fifteen-minute jeepney ride from the small, unknown town to the other little town where I left my truck. Tapos, about 5 minutes pabalik ng villa. The photoshoot was gonna start in 10 minutes. I quickly parked the truck, ran upstairs, and jumped in the shower.
Paglabas ko ng villa, all fresh and ready to be prepped up, nag-aabang na si Mr. Gordon para sa'kin. The crewmembers were carrying the photoshoot equipments papunta sa beach. Mr. Gordon didn't say anything naman kaseh, somehow, I'm still on time.
If there's one thing na kinasikatan ni Mr. Gordon, besides sa amazing ability nya sa mga advertising photography nya, ahyun eh ung pagiging extremely punctual nya. If he said the shoot will start at this time, the shoot should definitely start at that time. Kung wala pa ung model, malamang manghahaltak na lang sya ng kung sinong ka-picture-picture dyan sa tabi-tabi.
That's what he's probably gonna do now. :P We're supposed to shoot a Guess Swimsuit ad with two models.... pero.. missing one pa kame -- ung important one pa. :P
"Yo! Jerwin!"
I turned around and saw Venice walking towards my special chair -- the one with "Jerwin Santos" taped on the back. :D
It looks like she just got out of the shower (and siguro, tulog pa rin sina Anthony at Sheena kaseh hinde pa umaaligid ung dalawa sa kanya). She's wearing a black see-through tunic over a red one-piece swimsuit. Her hair is still damp, and she's treading barefoot on the sand.
Venice:I thought you'd be starting the shoot by now. What's going on?
Ako:Uhmm.. Seems like my partner won't make it.
Venice:Eh? o_O
Ako:May appointment daw kaseh kanina, na-late yata ng labas.. Ahyan, paalis pa lang ng Manila..
Venice:Ahhhh..
I glanced at her and noticed na nakatitig pala sya sa'kin.. Ung titig pa na parang nag-iisip ng malalim.. Bakit? Dahil ba ngayon nya lang ako nakita na naka swimming trunks? :D
Ako:What are you looking at?
Venice:Lam mo, Sunshine.. Nakaka-distract sana ang mga biceps-triceps-abs mo dyan.. Kaya lang...
She ran a finger on my arm, tapos hinarap sa'kin ung daliri nya..
Venice:Dinaig mo pa ang hito sa sobrang dulas mo.
Ako:It's oil. It's supposed to make me look good on pictures.
Venice:Magmumukha kang maganda sa picture kung parang kang hito? o_O
Ako:Why are you here? -__-
Venice:(smiles)Manonood sana ako ng shooting nyo, pero parang wala naman nangyayare.. sooo.. :)
She briskly turned around, may pa-sway-sway pa ng hips nya..
Venice:I'll just come back pag may kung anong compromise na kayo.. Maglalandi muna ako somewhere, ok dah-ling? ;)
Papaka-catwalk pa sya kung maglakad, feeling may runway dun sa buhangin -- tapos biglang natalisod. wahahahaha ;D
Venice:Aray ko!
