Chapter 20

The Hand Model

Continuation...

After Yap and I got oiled up again, plus the glam team retouched my makeup, we were both instructed by Jena on how to pose together. She just finished explaining her vision to us when I whisper-hissed at Yap. "What the hell are you thinking?"

Kahit na nasa likuran ko siya, I felt him shrug against my back. "I don't w.ant them to compromise their vision for this shoot. If they all believe this layout will make your portfolio look versatile, then we'll do it."

I could only sigh. "Nakakahiya sa'yo."

I mean, I only asked him to come here for moral support. And him being the supportive at bumabawing friend that he is, nagdala pa siya ng donuts and pizzas! Tapos ngayon, biglaan siyang kinuha na kapalit nung male model.

Nakakahiya doon sa male model! Well, he will be compensated naman daw. Pero sayang din na nawalan siya ng photo na madaragdag sa portfolio niya. Hindi naman kailangan ni Yap ng photos. Well, hindi rin naman makikita yung mukha ng male model kung siya pa rin makaka-partner ko.

But still...

As much as I want to stop this, wala naman akong magagawa kasi TMA project ito. It's the company's money. We're just the models... TMA is basically the client. The client always calls the shot.

"Ngayon ka pa nahiya sa akin?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around my shoulders, his warm breath hitting the back of my neck.

Damn. I held in my gasp and tried to stop myself from reacting more. But the hairs on my arms up to the back of my neck stand up... Shit.

Thank fuck my tube top is fucking padded.

Napatalon ako sa gulat nang biglang umilaw ang malalaking flash sa paligid namin. Sabay kaming napatingin sa aming harapan at nakita si Jena na ibinaba ang kanyang camera at ngumisi sa amin.

"Test shot lang, guys. Don't worry," sabi pa nito.

"How do you want us to pose?" Yap asked her. Doon lang ako bumalik sa katinuan at ibinalik ang atensyon sa photoshoot namin. Get a grip, Asher!

"Stay right there. Stand behind her, then wrap your arms around her," umpisa ng direksyon ni Jena sa amin. "'Yung left hand mo, Yap, dapat nakahawak sa right arm niya tapos 'yung right hand mo naka-wrap naman sa neck niya."

"You ready to do this with me?" Yap whispered directly in my ear as he slowly moved his hands all over my body until one reached my neck.

"Yeah," I breathed out.

"C'mon! Let's do this, guys!" Jena shouted from the other side. I tried to focus on her and eyed the lenses. "Tilt your head to the side, Ash, para makita yung earrings," she continued taking photos as she shouted her directions.

"Give us directions," I heard Yap say to her.

"Make it look like you're dominating her!"

I gasped when Yap's grip on my neck tightened. With my mouth slightly opened, I eyed the camera and tried to project—but it was so fucking hard!

Yap is so distracting! I mean, what he's doing to me is so distracting!

"Just make small movements with your hands, Yap. That way we'll get a variety of poses."

"Can I grab your jaw?" he asked.

I nodded. "Go for it."

I felt his hand slide up higher, then his fingers dug a little into my jaw. My eyes fluttered when he tilted my head to the side.
