"CUT!"

i yell as the actress could not do the scene. Again!

I was behind the camera, on my 'Director's Chair'.

I rub my head in annoyance, and look up and say-

Mirena: Alicia... Darling, please. Please i want some emotions while you do this romantic scene with him.

Alicia scoffs in annoyance, and it took everything in me to not to go on and drag her off the set.

I cannot even do that. Her father is my friend, and  he wanted me to launch his daughter.

But OH. MY. GOD! the tantrums this girl have.

She cannot act! She have a poker face! She don't know how to convey emotions. And i am trying to not let it hit my last nerve.

I am afraid, I'll fail.

Alicia: i am trying, okay?

She says with a sass.

Mirena: i know, ok? But the way you are doing it, i am sorry, but I won't be able to wrap up this film.

She blew air in frustration, and started doing her hair, making me more annoyed.

Mirena: babe, your hair's fine.

I try to keep my anger on a down low.

Alicia: i want to look good on the camera ok?.....babe?

She did not.........

I wait as she did, and then started the shooting again.

I looked at the actor...

Oh boy! He is damn fine, but the irritation is visible on his brows too. He tries not to frown much. But i can understand him. It is our- HER, 5th take.

But still, a dead fish could be more productive.

...........

"CUT!"

why do i feel Déjà vu?

Mirena: Alicia, look, You need to feel that he is the man you love. He isn't even the last thing you wanna lose. He's your everything. Feel passionate about him. Not like he is just some random gu-

Alicia: you look ,okay? I am tired of you yelling at me! What is this? Our 9th take?

"11th" , he mumbled under his breath, making me scoff in sarcasm.

Mirena: Ali-

Alicia: No! You are such a big actress huh? Why don't you do it?

Mirena: oh me? I'm the director!

Alicia: and ain't it a director's job to explain the scene? Why don't you demonstrate? Director.

And she hit the last nerve that i was saving for the day.

Mirena: FINE!

I get up from my seat, as i hand the script to my 'AD'.

I walk towards them, and stand in the middle.

Mirena: now see, how you should be doing it.

I turn my face to the actor, his chocolate-y browns looking into mine. He looks handsome up close. Never really got to notice.

Alicia goes back to sit on her chair, that has her name on it.

I and Michael get into the character.

Ana(Mirena): Jake.... You are everything that i want. You are everything that i desired.

Jake(Michael): ohhh Ana.... You have no clue girl, how much i love you. *Touches my face* how i yearned to touch you. Be with you. Hold you. You are the only thing that roamed my mind. I want you to be mine tonight. As i will be yours forever.
