If there was one celebrity whose acting skills Lea admired, it was Bea Alonzo's. This lady has proven herself as an effective actor, not only in the romance genre, but in drama, tragedy, and horror, as well.
She haven't had the chance to meet her before, and this was their first project together, so Lea was excited to watch Aga and Bea's scene.
The scene was truly wonderful. It was Bea and Aga's characters' meet-cute. Bea would serve Aga coffee, and because she didn't anticipate that her customer was that handsome, she would end up spilling the coffee all over his shirt.
It was just that one scene that Aga and Bea had to shoot that day. The latter had other appointments to attend to, so she was not going to stay around for long, but when she saw that Lea was there, the actress squealed in delight and seemingly forgot about her looming call time.
" Hi, Miss Lea! Grabe, sobrang fan niyo po ako. " Bea said, shaking her hand. " Akala ko po joke lang ni Muhlach na ikaw 'yung kasama namin dito sa movie. "
Lea flinched at Bea's use of the words 'Muhlach' and 'namin'. She knew that the two of them worked on a movie last year, but she didn't know that they were this close.
" Looking forward na po ako sa scene nating dalawa! Sabi po ni Inang, medyo matagal pa daw before we have to shoot together, pero ngayon pa lang, inaaral ko na 'yung lines ko! Nako, sobrang kinakabahan po ako. " the actress said while laughing. " Tapos, inaasar pa ako ni Muhlach na kabahan na daw ako sa inyo! Masungit daw kayo, tapos perfectionist. Sobrang nakakaloko! Buti na lang na-meet ko na kayo, finally. " Bea exclaimed. She knew that this girl was nice, so Lea being the person that she was, proceeded to exchange jokes with her, but she was still caught up on the idea that Aga was super close with this young lady.
Speaking of Aga, she saw him walking towards them. He already changed his clothes. He was only wearing a black shirt and pants now, and he looked more dashing than ever. Lea wanted to cut her conversation with Bea, drag Aga to his car, and go home, but she knew better than to do that.
So she watched as Aga approached Bea, teased her about meeting Lea, and rested his arm around Bea's shoulders. They looked cozy together, and it sounded crazy, but Lea felt like an outsider; like she was the third wheel to these two.
She was still deep in thought when she felt Aga's hand on her back. She thought about how it was on Bea's shoulder just a few moments ago. This thought made her want to push Aga's hand away.
" Parang sira 'tong si Muhlach! " Bea said out loud. It snapped her out of her daze. " Oh sige po, Miss Lea, una na po ako ah? May shoot pa po kasi ako. "
" Sure, sure. See you soon, I hope? " she said, not sure if she meant it with sincerity.
The actress smiled at her. " Oo naman po! Punta po ako sa shoot niyo pag may free time. At para na din po makilatis ko kung effective sa lahat ng babae ni Muhlach 'yung pa-cute na smile niya. " She teased, to which Aga reacted.
" Excuse me, hindi ako pa-cute. Sadyang cute na talaga ako. " Aga answered, showing off his dimples even more.
Lea felt jealousy running through her veins. She wasn't used to sharing Aga's attention with other people. She got used to being the only one that matters in Aga's life. So was it really bad that she wanted Bea to leave, so that she can have Aga alone?
