Freaking Romance in Progress (Double Trouble Series #1)

POHEO 37

Napalunok ako. Marahan kong iniling ang ulo at napahawak sa kanyang kamay na nakadantay sa aking hita.

"I-I don't think I can do it, Colt..." pinanghihinaan ng loob kong sabi.

Colt tightened his hold on to my knees and I heard him sigh deeply. "Me too..."

Umangat ang mga mata ko sa kanya. I could even imagine the questions in my eyes.

"Kinakabahan ka pa rin sa malalaking offer?" I asked innocently.

The corner of his lips rose amusingly.

"Hmm. I guess I am. But I can do it for you. Will you do it for me, too?" he said huskily.

Lalong dumiin ang pagkakakagat ko sa aking pang-ibabang labi.

I grimaced. I didn't expect him to be antsy with this kind of stuff since I thought he's very used to it. He's an old-hand with a lot of training and experience when it comes to modeling so it's a quite a shocker to hear that from him.

Kung ganoon nga ang sitwasyon, willing siyang subukan iyon. Bukod sa malaking offer nga iyon, it is me who asked for it according to him so he would be enthused to accept that. Dang, here he goes again, eager to do something for me and on the other hand, I'm having a cold feet just for a minor role in his film he's working onto.

Geez. It's a little sacrifice I can do for him so...

"F-Fine," I gasped. "But promise... y-you'll be on my side, okay?"

His face obviously lightened up with my answer. "Certainly."

Naging magaan ang loob ko sa kasunduang iyon kalaunan. Naging detalyado si Colt upang tulungan ako sa paghahanda para bukas. Mula sa posibleng ipagawa hanggang sa pangalan ng mga target panelists at deliberation ay inilahad niya sa akin.

All throughout his discussion and piece of advices, I can't help it but to be delighted for that moment. He looked very passionate about what he's talking and the way he speaks, animo'y matagal na niya iyon inaasam at ngayon, matutupad na.

We strolled a bit more around the mall. Tuluyan nang nasanay si Colt sa atensiyong nakukuha niya mula sa paligid at naging komportable rin kalaunan.

Katawagan niya ang kanyang manager nang magpaalam ako sa kanya na magre-restroom lang. Tumawag iyon at plano niya na ring ipaalam dito ang inalok ko. Medyo ninenerbyos ako. Baka pa hindi iyon magustuhan ng kanilang manager ngunit sinigurado niya akong tiyak na matutuwa roon ang kausap.

After using the toilet, I washed up and put a tint on my lips to retouch. Sinuklay ko pa nang kaonti ang buhok bago lumabas doon.

Mabilis kong nakita si Colt, he's standing where I left him somewhere beside a store but this time, he's facing the other side while still busy talking to someone on his phone.

Sa pag-aakalang kausap pa rin ang manager at hindi pa natatapos ang tawag na kanina pa niya sinagot, kampante akong naglakad patungo roon nang agad din akong napatigil dahil sa narinig na pamilyar na palayaw.

"We'll go home right after this, incy... No need to worry, we're fine... Yeah, how about your appointment? That's good... Alright, alright. Denim, it is... Yeah. Take care, incy. See you tomorrow..."

Binaba na niya ang phone ngunit hindi pa rin ako makagalaw sa aking kinatatayuan.

I was petrified because of a simple phone call I overheard.

I clutched my chest and bit my lower lip. I know it's nothing special. That phone call is no special but why am I feeling this kind of wrath? I didn't expect that I would be the jealous type after a couple of years apart from each other.
