Chapter 11

"No no no love! Keep your limbs away from your body." Franco said as he bends Emilia's arm dahil nakadikit ito sa kaniyang baywang.

"There, it'll make you look slimmer." Franco smiled at her while scanning her pose. Emilia just chuckled. Akala niya ay kung ano anong pose lang ang pag-mo-model, pero may mga techniques at kung ano ano pa pala ito.

"Okay, expose that beautiful jaw line!" With that, Emilia tilted her head. Franco clapped his hands.

"Kahit 'di ka na magapply sa agency ko, tatanggapin na agad kita!" Emilia smiled at Franco. It was her first day of her modelling lessons, she feels excited about it. Dati ay model-model-an lang sa salamin ang nagagawa niya.

"You're a fast learner." Franco told her. Kung nadidinig lang 'to ni Sebastian, hindi na niya na ako sasabihang dense! She thought which made her grinned.

"Thank you," She replied and Franco pat her on the head.

"I'll be going, may casting eh. Don't forget the sketches on Sunday!" Nakipagbeso ito and he went out.

Emilia grabbed her sketchpad. Nakakaisa pa lang siya, she needs 49 more. She woke up early today dahil sabi ni Franco ay maaga dapat sila ngayon dahil may casting ito before lunch. That's why she woke up at 5AM, which is a major struggle for her dahil tulog mantika siya.

She browsed the magazine. She kept looking at a certain girl's amazing photos which inspired her on her first sketch. The girl's really captivating, she reminded herself to search about her later.

She sketched a pencil skirt with a sleeveless turtleneck na pinatungan ng fur coat. It gave her a sassy office vibe.

She sketched five more designs at hindi niya namalayan na nakatulog na pala siya.

"Hey, wake up." She felt someone poking her cheek. Unti unti siyang dumilat at bumungad sa kan'ya ang mukha ni Sebastian. Mas gwapo pala 'to 'pag malapitan! She thought. "Stop drooling. Get up." Kumirap si Emilia at napaupo kaagad sa turan nito.

Matalim niya itong inirapan. "Bakit ba? Istorbo 'to." She crossed her arms to her chest. Antok na antok pa siya, she isn't a fan of mornings kaya't hindi siya nagigising ng maaga usually. Gusto niya pa bumawi ng tulog.

"Nevermind. Matulog ka na lang ulit." Napakunot ang noo ng dalaga. He woke her up for this? She badly wants to punch him right now.

"Seryoso ka?" She asked, annoyed. Kulang pa ang tulog niya at kung gigising lamang siya nito para sa wala ay gusto na niyang magwala.

Sebastian inhaled deeply before talking. "Okay, have you eaten lunch?" Bigla namang napatingin si Emilia sa orasan. It's 12:38PM. Now that he mentioned it, she suddenly felt hungry.

"I suppose not," Tumango lang si Emilia as a sign of approval. "Let's eat." It's not an invitation, more like a command. Malamang libre ito kaya dali-daling inayos ni Emilia ang gamit niya at isinilid sa backpack.

"Tara!" Nauna pa siyang lumabas sa lalaki. Napailing -ling na lang na sumunod si Sebastian.

They went to a restaurant nearby. It's very modern looking, it's big pero mas malaki ang restaurant ni Denise. Kakaunti lang ang kumakain, dahil bandang tanghali na din. Malamang ginto din ang mga presyo ng pagkain dito.
