Manila, Philippines

"You're kidding me" wala sa sarili akong napailing habang nakatitig sa nakangising si Ulysses. He just decided to make me their replacement model.

"You certainly know that I don't" patuloy parin siya sa pagsasalita habang nakatingin sakin ng nakakaloko.

This guy is really driving me crazy! Kahit ano nalang ang pumasok sa isip niya ay yun ang ginagawa niya. He's very inconsiderate kagaya ng pinsan niya.

I know that Ulysses is definitely serious about what he said. But I just can't be their model! Kay madame Odette nga hindi ako pumayag dahil hindi ako marunong. Ipapahiya ko lang ang sarili ko dun.

"I'm not a cut out of being a model! Mapapahiya lang kayo kung pipilitin niyo. Revert back your decision Ulysses. It's the not the best idea" I tried to pursuade him as much as I can be he really doesn't show any signs of  letting me slip.

Mas lalo siyang ngumiti. Hinapit niya ang bewang ko papalapit sakanya atsaka ako tinitigan ng malapitan.

"I think you're forgetting something miss. Didn't you say you would do anything for me to sign that stupid invitation?" he reminded me as a bait.

"B-But this is really impossible. Think of anything you want me to do. Just don't make me your model" I pleaded continuesly but still, he didn't budge. Matibay talaga ang lalaking to.

He smirked. "That's all the more reason I want you to be our model. You can't argue with me." he touch my lips with his pointing finger as a way of silencing me. "Or else forget about our deal"

Ugh! Nakakainis talaga ang lalaking to kahit na kailan. I want to strangle him and throw him to a river. Gusto ko nalang siyang umalis at mawala na!

Without my permission, he made all the necessary actions para matuloy yung photoshoot mamayang gabi. Inis na inis talaga ako sakanya kaya nakasimangot lang akong nakaupo dito sa lobby kasama niya.

"Don't sulk as if I'm making you do something impossible" he said as he put down his phone from his ear after a call.

"But this is really impossible! Hindi ako marunong magmodel. To tell you more, pati nga yung offer ni madame Odette sakin sa Paris tinurn down ko because I know how bad I am with this"

Please listen to me Ulysses. It's for your own good. Kung ayaw nyong magsara ang kumpanya nyo sa kapalpakan ko you won't pick me to be your model.

He chuckled and glanced at me while covering his lips with the back of his hand.

"It's not like your going to walk in the runway. You just have to wear clothes and post you know"

"Kahit na. Camera shy padin ako" I told him straight to the point.

He looked a bit surprise by what I said but he still remained his composure and looked at me with his sharp eyes. Ngayon ko lang narealized na katulad nang mga mata ng isang lion ang mga mata ni Ulysses. They're sharp and dangerous to look at. Para bang pag hindi ka nya nagustuhan bigla ka nalang niyang lalapain. Tsk.
