French Kiss in Paris

Chapter 14

Chapter 14

For the past couple of days, Cashel and I are on good terms. Kapag sinabi kong good terms, ibigsabihin we kissed and made out in the eyes of the public para lang masabing totoo ang for-show naming relationship.

I mean, it's not bad. Lagi akong may libre halik galing kay Cashel. Hindi ko na kailangan pa ng leading man para lang may makahalikan ako. Cashel would do it for me kahit walang director's cue and somehow, I'm loving it. Gano'n siguro talaga kapag tuyot na tuyot ang acting career.

Though upon thinking it, I know I should be separating what we were doing to what I actually feel for him. I kinda feel bad not telling him about it pero baka ako pa ang umasa sa huli. At sana nandito naman ako para sa trabaho at hindi makipaglaplapan sa kung sino-sino.

The thing about Cashel and I are blossoming in the social media world. I'm afraid that one of these days, my family will contact me to ask what's happening. Nakahanda na rin naman ang magiging paliwanag ko, ayoko lang silang biglain at ma-disappoint.

I'm still not worried about it. Parang wala lang sa akin ang pakulo na ito ni Cashel. Though he's not giving me enough benefits bukod sa paghigop niya sa akin, other than that, his company is great pero alam kong may kulang pa. I'm not leaning to have a relationship with him dahil imposible pang mangyari 'yon. Cashel must have girls reserved for him. He's not the type of person who sticks to one, he's nice, caring, and gentle but all good boys always snitch dirty things behind their backs. And Cashel might be, too.

Since the night Cashel kissed me, my followers on Instagram kept on rising. I didn't manifest for this to happen. I didn't ask for a new break for my career. I'm not expecting someone will pull me out of my misery. Maybe, after all, Cashel is an angel in disguise—I'm not seeing it but he kinda looks like a Greek God in some way.

I've only had less than ten or five thousand when I came to Paris but girl, something's really going on right now. When I check Cashel's profile, he frantically jumped over a million followers now. That's how fast it can go kapag palaging nagte-trending o kaya naman laman ng social media. Hindi pa ako nalalagay sa ganitong posisyon no'n, so this is new to me.

Napansin ko naman ang following count nito. It's only a few accounts at mostly mga brands pa, bihira lang ang mga personalities, and then something caught my eye on the very first account he followed.

AmaureeWines. The account is private so I have no idea who it is but I'm sure it's maybe a fan of him, or friend, or a relative. Maybe in one of those options. But I shouldn't bother about it. Cashel and I are on an agreement at hindi naman niya ako hahalikan ng basta basta kung may commitment siya sa ibang tao.

If he cares for his image, he wouldn't kiss a nobody like me. Ngayon pa lang nare-realize kong effective nga ang public stunt na ginagawa namin ngayon. Sa dami ng emails at DMs na natatanggap ko ngayon for sponsors, hindi ko na alam kung anong uunahin ko.

Cashel slips a piece of advice about it. I-entertain ko lang daw iyong mga products or brands na pasok sa preferences ko. Though ang karamihan lang naman ng mga brands na nagme-message sa akin ay magpapadala ng kanilang mga products na equivalent for Instagram posting. At dahil nagsismula pa lang din naman ako sa ganitong kalakaran, kung anong nagustuhan ko, sila ang tinatanggap ko. Marami na akong na-approve at hinihitay ko na lang dumating sa akin ang mga product nila.

Cashel also said that it is his job now. He's an architect student but eventually got dropped out of college in his last year because modeling knock on his door. Nasasayangan lang ako sa kanya ro'n pero kung saan naman siya masaya at kumikita, that should make him happy or if not, he should finish his degree pero sa tingin ko wala na sa isip niya 'yon.
