Montergo Series I: Dancing With Fire

Chapter 23

.

Sa tuwing naaalala ko ang sinabi ni Zak sa interview hindi ko mapigilang mamula at pigilang kiligin ngunit hindi rin mawala sa isip ko ang kahihiyan because hindi ko nasagot ang tanong ni Jacqueline! My feelings got into me kaya wala akong masagot.

And for pete's sake, I am holding back here para panoorin ang interview namin. There is a part of me that wants to watch it so that I can see Zak's reaction- I mean if we slayed it and there is also a part of me that doesn't want to watch the interview because of my reaction. It's already been a week since that happened, and I can say that it's going smoothly. Though we can't escape the hate and negative comments, someone will always hate me- us for being together. Bitter people.

Kuya Livan and Manang Hera called me and asked me when and how. Kuya Livan already knows that I know Zak dahil nga I am under M Entertainment and impossible naman na hindi ko alam ang acting ceo namin, but what shocked him is that we're dating, nagulat din siya na alam ko na mag-business partners sila.

"Binabasa mo na naman ba ang mga hate comments?" I flinched when Ate Kisha suddenly showed up holding two protein shakes.

"N-No! Why would I do that?" I stuttered and grabbed the protein shake on the table.

"Yeah, right! Ang bilis ng panahon, tatong araw na lang matatapos na ang Threads of Fate." She said as she took her seat.

I nodded and looked around the office, nandito kami kung saan ang unang shoot namin. Ilang buwan na rin kaming nag-sho-shoot and ilang weeks na rin simula ng sabihin namin sa media na kami na ni Zak.

"Hi, Xohi." I looked at the person who greeted me.

It was Felicity, she smiled at me saka tumabi sa'kin.

"How's the feeling of becoming a montergo's girl?" She teased as she sat down beside me.

I rolled my eyes at her and chuckled.

"It feels great." I answered and looked at her with a victory smile.

"You act as if you catched a one big fish on the sea." She teased at saka inunom ang dala-dala niyang Gatorade.

I giggled, we've become closer to felicty sa ilang buwan ng shooting. We sometimes visit Tita Christinia together with Ate Kisha dahil sa nasiraan ng kotse si Felicity, and we were too lazy to hail a cab.

"Well, I think he is." Ani ko saka ngumisi.

"By the way, Tita was looking for you and also you, Kisha-" she galnced at Kisha before continuing, "bago ako pumunta rito. We should visit Tita Christy after the shoot. Are you both free after this?" She asked saka uminom muli.

I looked at Ate Kisha, and she nodded.

"Sure!" I agreed.

"Pinayagan ko si Xochi, but I can't come," Ate Kisha said.

Nagtataka namin binaling ang tingin sa kanya.

"Don't look at me like that, may kailangan lang akong asikasuhin after this." She defensively said and went back to what she was doing.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" I asked and eyed her.

She averted her eyes at saka ininoman ang protein shake niya.

"Wala, Alam mong wala akong oras para dyan." She denied it with a stern face.

We just let her be, felicty left, and I started rehearsing my lines alone.

Matapos ang ilang minuto ay nagsimula na kami sa shooting. This time ay kasama ko si Ashley or Venus one of my colleagues in the company. In the series, Venus will help Nicole sa lahat ng problems niya, she will also be the bridge kung kaya't magkakatuluyan sila Nicole at Rhett
