I FELL IN LOVE WITH MY CO-ACTOR

PROLOGUE

"Pwede ba? Stop following me!"

"Stop me, then." He flashed his annoying smirk again. I hate him!

Nagpatuloy ako sa paglalakad at patuloy naman niya akong sinusundan. The hell is wrong with this guy?!

"I swear to God, if you're not gonna stop, I'll call the police."

"Oh really?" Hinawakan niya ako sa balikat at marahas na isinandal sa pader. "If I'll end up in jail for bugging you, might as well, make the most out of it right?"

"Huh? What- what do you mean?" My eyes widened nang unti-unti niyang inilapit ang mukha niya sa mukha ko.

MAY BALAK BA SIYANG HALIKAN AKO?!

Pilit kong iniiwas ang mukha ko pero bigla niya itong hinawakan ng magkabilang kamay at iniharap sa kaniya.

"Stay still. This will be fast and... good." FUDGE!

Ilang inches na lang ay mahahalikan niya na ako kaya napapikit na lang ako nang mariin.

"And.... cut! Excellent work guys."

I finally opened my eyes.

"Enjoying?" The man in front of me smirked. Nawala na 'yung playful emotions sa mga mata niya kanina. His eyes were back to being dull.

I scoffed. "As if."

He did not talk back at iniwan na niya akong nakasandal pa rin sa pader.

Agad naman siyang nilapitan ng ibang staff at ni-retouch, pinunasan ng pawis etc. at ganun din ang ginawa sa akin.

"Girl, ang galing mo kanina!" Sabi nung babaeng make-up artist habang naglalagay ng powder sa mukha ko.

"Thanks." Sagot ko naman.

"Yeah, the two of you were really professional! Sa totoo lang may chemistry nga kayong dalawa eh."

"You noticed din? Oh em gee! You guys were working together at loveteam na for three years already. Siguro nag kaka-develop-an na kayo hindi niyo lang ni-re-reveal. Hihi." Sabat naman nung kasama niyang make-up artist din.

"Oo nga girl! Mas mag-bo-boom kaya ang career niyo if you guys will be a real-life couple."

"Aaaaaay! At kami na ang magiging president ng fans club niyo!"

Nagtilian silang dalawa at nag-apir pa. Napapikit naman ako sa inis.

"Is gossiping a part of your work? 'Cause if it's not, then you guys better shut up. Hm?" Mukhang natakot naman sila at tahimik na lang na ipinagpatuloy ang pag-re-retouch sa 'kin.

Kainis naman kasi 'yung dalawang bakla kong make-up artist at um-absent pa. Na-stuck tuloy ako rito sa dalawang chismosa na 'to. Saan ba kasi sila nakuha ng manager ko? Tsk.

"Okay, okay. Everyone get ready. Another take tayo!" Muling sigaw ni Direk kaya kumilos na ang mga staff. They fixed the set and positioned the cameras tapos iniharap kaming dalawa ni Creed sa isa't isa.

Right now, I'm facing Creed's bored face. But once the director says,

"ACTION!"

"You liked the kiss?" He winked at me. In just a snap, he became his movie character again.

Yes, we've been working together for three years already. But up until now, hindi ko pa rin maisip kung paano niya nagagawang magpalit ng personality in just a word.

Action!

Anyway, back to work.

"You jerk!" I shouted.
