Her Worst Contract (LOA 2 #2)

CHAPTER 8

The next day, I wake up early and face the man beside me. Hinawi ko ang buhok nito na nakaharang sa kanyang mukha at dahan-dahan hinaplos ang kanyang pisngi.

Mula sa kanyang makapal na kilay, pababa sa kanyang mahahabang pilik mata, ang matangos nitong ilong at sa kanyang mapupulang labi. I look down on his neck and touch his cross tattoo. It was a minimal tattoo but the effect of this on his fans is very strong.

I read some posts about his tattoo's meaning and it's funny because none of his million fans got the right meaning on each and every tattoo he has on his body.

Dahan-dahan akong lumapit sa kanya at hinagkan siya sa kanyang labi bago tumayo at lumabas ng silid na iyon.

Tumuloy ako sa kusina upang maghanda ng almusal para kay Vlad, I'm planning to cook pancake and bacon today. Habang naghahanda ng agahan binuksan ko ang TV dito sa kitchen at sinubukan manood ng balita.

Eksakto namang si Prime ang nasa screen, it's an interview last night, dahil nasa premiere.

He looks so fine, with those earth tone suit and tie, ang lamig sa mata ang kanyang damit at mas lalong nagpapakita kung gaano siya ka gwapo. I'm not complimenting him because I have feelings for him, I'm just really stating the fact that we can't deny that Prime is handsome.

"Direct Bellermin, sobrang gwapo niyo ho ngayon, maari po ba naming malaman ang sikreto ng isang Direct Huxley Bellarmine?" tanong ng host sa kanya, dahilan upang matawa ito at pabirong sinagot ang tanong sa kanya.

"Maybe, smiling every day, that's my secret haha," he joked, making the reporter smile and admire his charming face.

"Direct Huxley, ngayong natapos na po itong project niyong ito, maari ho ba namin malaman kung meron na kayong kasunod na project na nakaline up?" tanong ng isang reporter sa ibang istasyon.

"Actually, yes, I have some movies lined up but we are still building up the cast and the story itself," nakangiting sambit ni Prime.

I put the bacon in the pan and continue watching the interview, "Magaling ho na actress ngayon si Kacey Delavine, may balak ho ba kayong kunin siya?" tanong ng isa pang lalaki na reporter sa kanya.

I saw how Prime, smiled differently and directly answered without any hesitation, "Yes, I was given a chance I'll get her," it was a normal answer from a director but why do I feel double meaning in his answer.

I gulp and look down on the bacon that I'm cooking, bakit bigla akong hindi naging komportable kay Prime. Why is he doing this?

"Do you think she will be a great actress for your movies, since you're a high standard director? Lahat ng movie mo ay nanalo ng award, sa tingin niyo ho ba ang isang rising star na kagaya niya ay mapapantayan ang galing ng mga kinuha mong artista noong nakaraang taon?" bakit nila ako ipinipilit kay Prime.

Naging seryoso ang tingin ni Prime sa isang reporter na nagtanong, ngumiti siya bago sumagot at diretsong tumingin sa camera. "Yes, she would be a great partner for me, I know and I already watch her act and she's worth it."

Sumikip ang dibdib ko dahil sa kanyang sinabi at sa paraan ng pag tingin niya sa camera ay tila kinakausap niya ako. Nahihirapan akong huminga at biglang tumalsik ang mantika ng niluluto kong bacon. "Ouch!" I whimper and quickly turn off the stove.

I toasted it too much, umatras ako at sumandal sa counter ng kitchen bago nilingon muli ang TV.

"Bakit iba ho ang ngiti niyo pag si Kacey ang pinag-uusapan direct, kayo ho ba ay humahanga sa dalaga?" the old man reporter asked, making all of them smile at him and waited for Prime's answer.
