Rome (pov)

Just like Kao my work schedule has also flipped upside down

The only difference being that the cast and crew as actually likeable .. I pity kao so much dealing with an arrogant and mean director not to mention phi Pete's co-star who apparently likes to enter their triler and refuses to leave by the end of it kao only has to leave

Oh and did I mention that phi Pick picks me up and drops me back home that mad man has officially turned deaf to all my whining

Not only that he now makes me feed him breakfast on the way to shoots saying that it saves time , he's gone mad I tell ya

I honestly still question who the assistant is

"Shorty , let's grab some snacks together" phi suddenly said making me look up from my laptop

We were currently resting in phi's trailer in between shoots

"What do you want phi I'll go grab it for you" I smiled putting my things away and getting up to which he only shook his head

"Let's go together I'm bored sitting around " he said getting up and stretching out

"Whatever you like" I simply smiled and prompted him to go ahead before me which he very readily agreed to and started walking

We reached near the snacking bar which has thing that look more like meals than snacks

"I don't get it how did he get the lead ?" I heard someone talking as we reached closer to the table

There were two of the crew members talking amongst themselves clearly oblivious to me and phi standing behind them

"Oh please he's best friends with Pete ofcourse he'll get benifits " the other said

I was about to call them out when phi pick grabbed onto my hand squeezing it a bit making me look up to him who only gave me a small head shake

" Bro that's not fair you in how many guys get rejected who are ten times better looking than that Pick but huh connection get you anything huh "

That's it the fuck are these two fuckers talking about ?

I was about to shoot my words Maybe even throw up some hands

"So shorty what do you want to eat..!" Phi pick suddenly exclaimed making me shut up

The two boys suddenly turned around giving an awkward smile to which phi just have a big smile

"What's good here nongs what did you guys get ?" Phi asked

I'm sorry what ?

"Uh we got the chicken salad .. but the fries are good" one of the two replied heaving a big sigh or relief

"Hm.. thanks " phi pick just smiled and went past the two boys and towards the table while I gave the two my most deadliest glare

That very much got ignored

"Phi !" I called out once the two had left leaving only me and phi pick at the table

"Khap ?" He asked shoving a nacho in his mouth

"Why would you not say anything ?! " I called out and he just shrugged

"And then what ?" He asked looking around the table

"What do you mean what ? They were talking crap abo~"

"Fries or nachos ?"

"Listen to me also both " I huffed

"Got it "

"Phii !" I cried and he laughed

"Listen here shorty , in this Industry you can't expect everyone to like you plus they are free to have their opinions about me that includes negative ones .. now hold this " he said handing me a bottle of water and fries loaded with cheese while he took the nachos

"Alright having an opinion is alright no one's saying anything about that but they were spuing bullshit you and phi Pete got into the company together and became friends later on right ! You got in all by yourself !" I said while we were walking back

"Yeah yeah that's all true but still meh " he shrugged getting into the trailer while I groaned

"What is wrong with you ! Why won't you stand up for yourself " I shouted making him laugh

"And then what shorty ? Will they suddenly start liking me ? What will happen if I tell them the truth " he sighed

"Rome some people don't even bother to get to know you they just agree to what they hear what's the point .. I'm here to work they mear comments woni suddenly take away what I have so what's the point ?" He added and I pouted

"Why are you pouting ?" He asked Chuckling

"Because I don't like it .. I get your point and I get it Why even bother wasting your energy but still with how you're acting it's easy to tell that this is not the first time that you've heard all this " I said and he nodded

"Why else do you think I'm calm rome .. it's been a little while since I joined this industry and I wasn't this calm to those comments neither was pete we both were very hot headed mainly because there was so much more that people didn't even know about yet they just made the worse out of it " he said again sighing

"But then one day mae Godji explained that exact thing to us , people don't know ! No one knows what is going on or what went down that led us to this moment so it's either we let people know or keep doing our thing and let people talk because atleast we know what we went through and that should be enough" he added

"You guys chose the later " I said and he nodded

"It's better that way " he smiled and I again nodded along

~~

Phi pick finally finished for today he quickly changed and did everything before we started to walk back to his car

"Phi " I called out while walking

"Yeah ?" He asked

"Are you really tired ?" I asked making him look at me confused

"I'm not that tired but a little bit yeah why ?" He asked

"Can we go somewhere " I asked and he again gave me a questioning look

"What do you have in mind ?"

"Just answer na phi can I take you somewhere ?" I asked and he rather hesitantly nodded

"Sure ?"

"Great then give me the keys " I smiled holding my hand out

Which then he yet again very hesitantly put the keys onto my hands

"Come on ! I'm sure you'll like it " I smiled pulling him to the car

A/n

not sure about if they'll see the
light of day
