"FIERCE JESSICA. I want it fierce." Mas lalo pa n'yang pinag-igihan ang pag pose sa camera. Today is saturday and she is in the middle of the bright sun with her red bikini."Good shot!"
Mabilis ding natapos ang unang parte ng photoshoot. Thanks god dahil kanina pa mahapdi ang balat nya ng dahil sa init ng araw.
"Ms. Jessica sigurado ba kayong kaya nyo dito mag-isa? Pinatawag ako ni sir Liam para ihanda na 'yung susuotin mo mamaya." She just gave Joy an assurance smile.
"Oo nga, go na magagalit nanaman 'yon sayo." Marahan pa nyang iwiniksi ang kamay at maya maya pa ay natanaw na nya ang dalaga na papalabas sa restaurant.
She closed her eyes when she felt the cold liquid in her throat. Masaya syang sumisimsim ng buko juice habang pikit matang dinadamdam ang paghampas ng sariwang hangin sa mukha nya.
Kakaunti lang ang tao because it was a private island kaya naman naging kyuryoso sya ng mapansing may pinagkakaguluhan ang iilang turista sa harap ng resto.
Anong meron? Kanina nga ay bilang lang ang nakakilala sa kanya pero bakit medyo marami ang kumpulan sa labas? Well, she don't have time to feed her curiosity lalo na't kumukulo na ang t'yan nya.
"Wooow! Yum! Thank you." The guy look at her in a few second, then smiled widely at her. "You're welcome Miss. Hope you'll enjoy the food." She's giggling while the guy was busy serving the foods.
He looked at her again. "And because you're adorable, we'll give you free dessert today."
Mas lalo pang lumawak ang ngiti nya. This day is one of the happiest day in her life.Nasa kalagitnaan sya ng pagkain nang marinig nanaman ang pamilyar na boses.
"Enjoying yourself?" She looked at the walls on the resto to see if that voice comes from the television or radio. But to her surprise, she saw a handsome man confidently standing in front of her.
Bryan
"Can i sit here?" Turo nito sa kaharap nyang upuan.
She gulped. Why is he here? Kelan pa sya dumating? Is he staying in the Philippines for good? Pinigilan nyang magpakita ng ano mang emosyon at taas noong nagsalita.
"You can. Tapos na rin naman ako." Tumayo na sya at handa ng umalis pero pinigilan sya ng lalaki.
"You're not finish yet. Eat up Jessica."
Napataas ang kilay nya. Pero dahil ayaw ipakitang apektado ay umupo ulit sya at itinuloy ang pagkain.
" Seems like you didn't change a bit. Paborito mo pa din ang adobong pusit babe?"
BABE? okay now that's absurd. She's wrong, today is not the happiest, but the worst day of her life she must say.
Pabalang nyang ibinaba ang kubyertos. "I am not you're babe anymore Bryan. Please don't call me that."
"But to me you are still my baby Jess. " she glared at him. Wala na syang ganang kumain.
"I am not! Never will I be." Madiin nyang sabi dito. "I'm done here." Ibinagsak nya ang table napkin sa mesa pagkuway nagmamadaling lumabas sa resto.
"Miss Jess sakto naman ang dating mo. Kailangan mo nang magbihis, hinintay kana ng make up artist sa cottage." She felt relieved when Joy approached her.
"MAKE IT FAST guys. Papalubog na ang araw, kailangan na nating makapag take ng picture." Narinig nyang sigaw ng photographer. The sun was setting and she started to feel the cold ocean breeze underneath her floral bathing suit.
"Nasaan na ang kapartner ni Miss Jess? Nako lalo tayong matatagalan n'yan eh." Pansin nyang nakabusangot na ang mukha ng bading na kukuha ng letrato.
"Nandito na ako. Pasenya na kung natagalan ng konti, may inayos lang ako saglit."
She quickly turned to meet the man's gaze. The guy doesn't have a startled face, well, she does.
It's Bryan! It's him again! Oh god.
"Okay lang." the photographer gave him a professional smile. "Pwesto na pwesto na." Pinalakpak nito ang mga kamay which he mean "let's get started."
Nagsimula na ang photoshoot. Ayaw nyang aminin pero nagmumukha talaga syang tuod dahil sa ilang na galaw nya.
Sino naman kasi ang hindi maiilang, the guy beside her was almost naked. Naka trunks lang ito dahilan para muli nyang masilayan ang katawan ng binata. At katulad ng napapanood nya sa T.V, para nga itong hinulma ng D'yos dahil sa perpektong pagkahubog.
"Another shot please! Come on guys, parang mga stick ang kinukuhanan ko ng letrato sa totoo lang." the photographer said "Show some emotion! Mag lapit naman kayo."
She doesn't want to look unprofessional, so she did her very best to reach the man's shoulder. Inangkla nya dito ang kamay patalikod, dahilan para madikit ang likod nya sa matipunong dibdib ni Bryan.
"Nice!" Patuloy ang pagkuha sa kanila ng letrato. "Miss Jess show some skin and your fierce aura please."
Ginawa nya ang gusto ng photographer. Hinawi nya ang buhok na humaharang sa leeg nya.
While throwing a fierce look at the camera, she felt Bryan's arm snaked expertly on her waist from behind. Hindi nya mapigilang kilabutan lalo na't bigla nitong sinubsob ang mukha sa leeg nya, she felt his nose caressing her soft skin. Sa una ay hinahagod lang nito ng ilong pataas baba ang leeg nya. Pero para syang malalagutan ng hininga ng magsimula itong humalik.
He's now nibbling her neck causes her to jerk her head up. "Bryan stop that." She said in a low voice.
"Good shot! If you keep showing emotions like that, then three more shots and you're good to go guys."
She doesn't mind what she heard. Instead, she bit her lower lip to stop her little moan from coming out. "Bryan I said stop!"
"After this please lend me your ears. Let's talk. I want to tell you my reasons." Natigilan sya sa sinabi nito.
And there, reality hit her. She shouldn't be doing this! Hindi nya dapat hinahayaan ang binata na muling makapasok sa sistema nya.
Nang marinig nyang tapos na ang shoot ay nagmamadali na syang naglakad papalayo sa set.
"Jessica wait up!" Mas lalo pa n'yang binilisan ang paglakad "Babe please wait." It was too late for her to run dahil hawak hawak na ni Bryan ang braso nya.
"Babe let's talk." Habol ang hininga nito bago muling nagsalita "I need to explain to you everything Jessica, please hear me out."
"You're too late for that Bryan." She let out a sarcastic laugh. "It's been what? 5 years? Matagal na 'yon, hindi ko na kailangan ang explanation mo."
What she said was true. She already moved on at wala ng silbi ang kung ano pa man ang sasabihin nito.
"But you need to know my reason Jess. Please mag-usap na tayo." His voice sounds pleading, guilty and full of regret.
She sighed. "Bakit mo ba ito ginagawa Bryan."
Bryan gave her a serious glare.
"Because I want you, i want you back babe."
