(Zayne's POV)

"Another shot! More fierce my dear so that you'll look more stunning." Utos sakin ni Jojo, the photographer for today.

And of course I obliged.

"Gorgeous, okay be ready for the last shot, make it sexier." Utos ulit ni Jojo.

And yeah, I obliged again.

"Perfect! You look so hot my dear" Pagcompliment niya, while looking at my shots.

My make up artist naman walked towards me and fixed my make up, and also my hair that slightly flew because of the wind effect that they used, para daw mas maganda.

Well I guess that's how photography works, full of effects.

Gosh I'm so brilliant talaga!

"Okay guys we're done, let's wrap up. Thank you for today especially to this hottie actress Zayne Denise Chavez." sabi ni Jojo while looking at me with a sweet smile on his face.

Naglakad naman ako papunta sa kanya and stopped.

"Well, thank you also for the magnificent shots you took of me." Malambing kong sabi, while emphasizing the THANK YOU. Pagkatapos ay pumunta ako sa dressing room para magpalit, and after changing my clothes, naglakad na ako papunta sa van. With poise syempre.

Sumunod naman sa'kin yung manager ko which is Stacey, and she opened the door for me. Pumasok naman ako at sumunod naman siya sakin and closed it.

Nagstart naman na mag drive si manong Edgar, my driver.

"So, where's our next destination?" I asked Stacey habang nagcecellphone.

"Ahm actually this is our last destination. Tomorrow may shooting ka, para sa cameo mo, 9:30 in the morning. After that, photoshoot, after photoshoot, fan meeting and so on. So be prepared."

"Is that all?" I asked while typing something on my phone.

"Ay oo, your mom called me while you are in your photoshoot. Pinapa-alala niya na, sa bahay niyo ka daw mag dinner mamaya, at kailangan mong sumipot."

Ah, yeah. I remember she already said that to me, but didn't say kung bakit, ang sabi lang important daw.

Tiningnan ko naman orasan ng phone ko.

1:05 pm. Pa lang?!

"May sinabi ba si mom kung bakit kailangang doon ako mag dinner?" I asked, habang focus parin ako sa pagcecellphone. Nagbabakasakali na sinabi ni mom sa kanya, yung reason.

"Importante daw, yun lang yung sinabi." Importante lang din yung sinabi? Well whatever. "So anong plano mo ngayon? Uwi ka agad sa condo mo or may pupuntahan kapa?" Napaisip naman ako sa tanong ni Stacey, dahilan para mapahinto muna ako sa kaka-scroll ng phone ko.

May pupuntahan pa ba ako? Shopping? Nah tinatamad ako and I'm so tired kaya! Meeting with my squad? Nah sabado pa yun.

"Wala, wala na. Diretso niyo na lang ako sa condo ko." I said and then continued scrolling.

"Manong sa condo daw yung punta natin sabi nitong ma'am niyo."

Hininto ko ang pag scroll scroll sa cellphone ko at lumingon sa kanya sabay pinanliitan ng mata. Nginitian lang naman ako ng bruha habang naka angat dalawa niyang kilay.

Tsh! lucky her I'm treating her as one of my friend.

I'm so friendly talaga!

"Whatever!" Binalik ko na lang na naman yung atensiyon ko sa phone ko, hanggang sa di ko na lang namalayan na nakatulog na pala ako.

Ginising naman ako ni Stacey nung makarating na kami sa building ng condo ko. Agad kong sinuot yung shades ko, inayos yung bag at suot ko.

Okay I'm ready na, I need to look cool and stunning! As always.
Stacey opened the door for me, at lumabas naman ako kaagad, still with poise of course. Stacey was supposed to close the door when I immediately stopped her.

"Wait my phone! Where's my phone? Nakatulog ako kay--"

"Nandiyan na nilagay ko na sa bag mo, wag kang mag-alala."

Well Stacey is a very nice manager talaga. She's always ready, that's why bagay na bagay sa kanya itong work niya. And I'm also lucky to have her.

"Ah ganun ba? Hehe thank you my manager, ingat bye!" Nakangiti kong sabi sabay lakad na papasok ng building.

Syempre lakad with poise.

Nakapasok naman na ako sa condo ko, matapos magpapicture sakin kanina ng mga fans ko na nakapansin sa'kin. Agad kong hinubad yung suot kong sandal at agad pumumunta sa kwarto ko para ipagpatuloy yung na udlot kung beauty rest kanina. Total maaga pa para mamaya so I need a very peaceful nap muna, and after this maghahanda na ako para sa dinner.

---------------

"Good evening po ma'am" bati sakin ng maid namin nung pagbuksan ako. I just smiled at her at ipinagpatuloy ang paglalakad towards my family in dining area.

Nakasuot lang ako ng halter neck white dress na pinarisan ng mini kelly flap bag.

"So what's the sitch?" panggagaya ko kay Kim Impossible. Well she's one of my fav cartoons kasi, that's why.

Lumapit naman ako kayla mom and dad na naka upo na para bigyan ng kiss sa cheeks. At umupo na din ako katabi ni mommy.

I'm so sweet talaga!

"Good thing you're already here, habang wala pa sila." mom said.

"Sila? Sinong sila? Ba't di ako na orient na may bisita pala?" I asked, sabay abot ng baso para uminom.

"Well, your fiancé will come here with his parents."

"Oh my God Denise! What's that!?" Mom asked in shock.

Medyo ko kasi nabuga yung tubig na iniinom ko when I heard what my dad just said.

Wait, what?! Tama ba narinig ko?

"Is there something wrong anak?" Nag aalalang tanong naman ni daddy.

"N-no dad I'm okay, don't mind me." sabay punas ng konting tubig sa lips ko. Good thing I used a kiss proof matte lipstick.

Hindi ko na lang sinabi na nagulat ako, at baka kung ano nanaman sabihin ni mommy.

"Oh they're here na pala." Sabay tayo ni mom para batiin yung bisita na sinasabi ni dad. Pati si dad tumayo narin. "Oh anak, what are you doing? Won't you greet your fiance and his parents?" malambing na sabi naman ni mom.

Omg there here na already? Gosh! But I'm not yet ready!

Hindi ko pa naman sila nakikita dahil nasa likod ko sila. Tumayo naman ako sabay abot ng baso para uminom nanaman at lumingon and then...

"Oh my God! What the hell is wrong with you Denise?!" mom shouted in shock.

"IKAW?!"

Anong ginagawa ng mokong na 'to dito?! Don't tell me siya ang fiance ko?! This can't be!

"Pleased to meet you too, my dear fiancee."
