Sirius woke up with swollen eyes beside Lyron, who's still sleeping soundly on his bed. He could still remember how the singer comforted him last night, letting him voice out all of his secrets to him. Nakatitig lang ito sa singer, ni ayaw na nga niya nitong mahiwalay dito kahit saglit man lang. Ganoon na kahalaga si Lyron sa buhay niya ngayon.

"Oh god.. I wish I could keep you beside me forever..", he murmured while he's gently caressing the latter's face. "Can I do that Ly? Am I gonna be selfish if I'm going to ask you to stay with me until the end?", he questioned the singer gently, cautious not to wake him up from his slumber. "I don't know if you're ready.. I don't know if I'm rushing things.. I am scared of what might happen too, but I am more scared about the thought that I may never be able to make you mine if I'm just gonna let us stay this way..", Sirius stated softly while tracing every part of Lyron's face.

Umupo na lang muna siya sa kama habang hinahayaan niyang tumakbo sa isipan niya lahat ng mga katanungan at mga bagay na maaring mangyari sa kanila ng singer, kapag sinubukan pa nilang higitan kung anong meron sila ngayon. Naputol naman siya sa pag-iisip ng maramdaman nito ang pagyakap sa kaniya ni Lyron mula sa kaniyang likuran. Mahigpit ang yakap nito sa aktor habang nakatago pa ang mukha niya sa likurang balikat nito.

"I wish you could say that while staring straight into my eyes Riu.. sa totoo lang, I'm also afraid.. I really am afraid. Pero Riu I am more afraid of losing you..", Lyron gently spoke and tightened his hug on the actor. Sirius who's in shock with the singer's words slowly faced him. "Ly.. what do you mean?", Sirius uttered while staring at Lyron who only gave him a smile. "Hmm.. we've already been this far. Why not risk it all and see where this relationship bring us, right?", Lyron stated with a wide smile on his face.

Sirius immediately claimed his lips, kissing the singer passionately. Lyron slowly responded on the actor's kisses and pulled him closer to him in order to deepen it. Their kiss lasted for a few minutes, until they felt like their lips are already numb from all the sucking and biting they've been doing. "So Ly.. are you my uhhm.. uh..", Sirius' struggled to say it out of shyness, which Lyron found cute. "Yes, I'm your boyfriend now... and you are mine too..", Lyron stated before giving the actor another gentle kiss.

They wanted to stay in the mansion for a little longer but their work just won't allow them. Now they're on their way to One Entertainment because Sirius needed to drop Lyron first before he proceed to his company. Pagkatigil ng sasakyan sa tapat ng building ay agad na sanang lalabas si Lyron mula sa sasakyan ng aktor, ngunit pinigilan ito ni Sirius saka siya ginawaran ng mabilis na halik.

"I'll pick you up later. Message me hmm?" Sirius sweetly stated which made the singer blush. "O-okay.. see you later..", Lyron replied timidly. Sirius nodded and gave him another kiss on the forehead before he let the singer go.

Pagdating ni Sirius sa kanilang kumpanya ay agad siyang dumiretso kung saan kasalukuyang nagaganap ang meeting nila ngayon, tungkol sa bago nilang project. "Oh wow late na naman ang bida natin..", salubong sa kaniya ng isa sa mga co-actors niya under ng Aspire, na si Lance. They never got along well, because Lance sees Sirius as a competition. "Yeah? I think It's better to be late, kaysa maging bida-bida", sagot naman ni Sirius saka naupo sa tabi ni Cypher na kasama din sa cast ng bago nilang project.

"Burnnn.. parang masarap ang ROASTED chicken today", sabat naman ni Cypher sa nang-aasar na tono. "Oh yeah? Should we eat roasted chicken for lunch then?", Sirius replied while smirking at Lance who's obviously pissed off now. "Okay enough of that guys and listen to me..", sabat ni Zion.

He's the one responsible for the concept of the project they're going to make this time. Actually papunta na nga ring director ang profession nito sa dami ng kaya niyang gawin. "Open minded ba kayo? Joke lang..", Zion stated and chuckled a little to lessen the tension in the room. "Hoy gago wala akong planong gumawa ng porn film ah!", sigaw ni Cypher habang nagtatakip pa ng katawan gamit ang dalawa nitong kamay.

Napakunot naman ang noo ni Sirius sa sinabi ng kaibigan at saka niya ito bahagyang sinipa sa ilalim ng mesa. "Aray ko! Joke lang naman ehh..", Cy pouted, habang hinihimas ang nasipang binti nito. "Will you shut up for awhile and let me finish?", Zion exclaimed which made Cy behave on his seat. "Well it doesn't matter, you just have to do it. This will be a big musical stage. Originally si Lance dapat ang main leading man kasi ang sabi nga ni Sirius ayaw niya muna ng lead role, pero inayawan ng ibang producers at ng mismong direktor", Zion continued.

Sirius only clicked his tongue in annoyance about what Zion stated, while Lance was giving him death glares. "Actually I respect Sirius' decision, but I also agree that the lead role should be given to you", Zion explained and glanced at Sirius who has now an annoyed expression on his face. "Lance will be the second lead and of course, the reason why they wanted Sirius to be the main, is because of Irene. The producers thought that it might upset your fans kaya hindi naman sila makakapayag na hindi mo gagawin ang lead role", pagpapatuloy pa nito.

"Should I just decline this project? Tsk!", Sirius uttered. Lance suddenly stood up from his chair across Sirius while glaring at the younger actor. "Ang yabang mo na agad ilang taon ka pa lang sa industry! You've been given the lead role tapos magrereklamo ka pa?! The fuck is your problem?!", Lance shouted. Sirius slowly raised his head with a smirk on his lips, to look at Lance's angered face. "Then isn't that great for you? Your junior here is generously giving you a project. Don't you wanna be the lead? Just consider it as my early christmas gift..", Sirius stated before standing up and walking out of the meeting room. Tinawag pa ito ni Zion ngunit hindi na ito lumingon ulit.

Agad namang sumunod sa kaniya si Cypher na tawang-tawa pa rin sa itsura ni Lance dahil sa sinabi ni Sirius. Kaya din hindi niya gustong iniinis ang ang kaibigan dahil minsan matalim ang tabas ng dila nito. "Tss.. this project and that guy only ruined my day. Damn it", Sirius exclaimed as they walk towards their own space in the company. "Eh bakit naman kasi pinatulan mo pa? You already know that he's got a severe inferiority complex towards you", natatawang saad naman ni Cypher.

"It's not like I've been in this position because of connections or whatsoever. I also worked my way to the top. Why would that fucktard blame it to me kung di siya nakakatanggap ng lead roles as much as I do?", Sirius stated as he sat down on the sofa. Surprisingly, wala ang iba nilang kaibigan dito, siguro ay may mga kaniya din silang inaasikaso ngayon na trabaho. "Alam mo naman 'yon. Parehas sila nung mga kaibigan niyang sila Jersey at Gale, mga insecure. Kasalanan pa nating mas pogi tayo sa kanila? Oh my gosh like I'm stressed na ha", Cypher stated sarcastically.

"So kina-cool niyo ang pag walk out sa meeting?" Agad naman silang napatingin sa pintuan kung saan nanggaling ang boses at nakita nilang naka tayo doon si Zion na nakatitig ng masama sa kanila ngayon. They might be strong and cool, but they can't deny that Zion is terrifying when he's mad even though he's smaller than them. "O-oh.. hindi naman. Di ba nang-away si Lance? Edi matic na yun tapos na agad meeting", kinakabahang sagot ni Cypher. "T-that's right..", nauutal na pagsang-ayon naman ni Sirius dito.

"Kayo ah, kung di ko lang kayo kaibigan nako! Next time na magwo-walk out kayo sisiguraduhin kong pati mga gamit niyo dito nag walk na din palabas ng building! Nai-stress ako libre niyo akong kape!", Zion warned them, at alam nilang hindi lang iyon simpleng pagbabanta kundi totoong gagawin nga ito ng nakatatandang kaibigan kapag ginalit pa nila ulit ito. "Okay okay.. let's go have a coffee after work then. My treat", saad ni Sirius saka nahiga sa sofa.

"Himala hindi ka kuripot ngayon?", Cypher teased. Sirius only glared at him and said "Himala buraot ka pa ding kupal ka", na ikinatawa ni Zion. "But seriously what's up?", tanong ni Zion. Napansin naman nila ang pigil na ngiti ng kaibigan, mukhang may nangyaring maganda dito. "I'll tell you when the right timing comes. Can't you just be fucking grateful that I'm gonna treat you?", Sirius pointed out, which made the two even more curious, although they might already have a clue on what's happening, but it's still better if it comes out of Sirius' mouth. "Okay okay Mr. Leading man ng taon..", patawa-tawang sagot nila na hindi na lamang pinansin ng aktor.
