Hey! Daron, Sure! Go, ahead!
Good thing Xia answered for me. I was sure that the question was for me. I don't know why I suddenly felt conscious when he sat beside me. I felt so uncomfortable with his aura. He doesn't seem approachable. I don't know if should I greet him or not. Xia and Sav seem to know him.
"That's Daron Wood. He is also a model from the same modelling agency where Xia and I are working," That explains why they know him.
"I heard he'll pursue medicine," Sav added. They all turned their faces to me then to Daron.
"You don't know him?" Ari inquired me.
"No," I answered so fast. They all nodded thinking that maybe we aren't in the same year in College or he probably studied in another University.
I focused on the game when I heard the commentator speaking. Avril served the ball through jump serve and the match began. I saw Av did some powerful spike and most of the times, the other team fails to receive the ball. She's so good with it. We all cheered for Cairhyll when she substituted a player.
"Break a leg,Cairhyll!" Savannah shouted when Cairhyll entered.
"Madapa ka sana!" Ari also shouted.
" Go, Cairhyll!" That was what I just said because I saw in the corner of my eyes that Daron glanced at me when I shouted those.
I'm confident that I still smell good because of my perfume from Dior and I still look fresh because I took an early rest last night. I don't have to feel ashamed for being seated next to a model. I can be a model too.
I paid full attention to the game until it ended. Others were already rejoicing. The other team was sport. They accepted their defeat.
We went down the benches and we gave the two girls a hug. We congratulated them for their victory.
"Let's celebrate!," Sav shouted.
"Yeah! Food na naman!" Good thing Ari goes with Zaianne on gyms sometimes. If she doesn't, I'm sure she'd be fat by now. She seems so alive when we talk about food. I'm sure she can help her parents with their hotels and diners.
"Kaninong treat? Kayo yung sobrang yaman!" Cairhyll said while she was wiping her sweat off.
"My treat," I told them. This is my way of saying my gratitude to them for always staying in my side.
"Then, let's drink after!" Xia exclaimed.
"What? You're gonna get us drunk?" Avril tried to stop Xia. Everyone obeys her most of the time because she can always differentiate right from wrong. But, this one seem to be one of the cases where she has no choice. No one else protested, only her.
"Kila Ari tayo? Let's try their new branch," Zai said to us.
"Let's get ourselves clean, Rhyll," Av told Cairhyll.
We all brought our own cars so we separated ways. I parked between the cars of Zai and Sav. I went to the table they chose and waited for the menu. When we all knew our orders, we called the waiter.
I ordered Caprese Salad with Pesto Sauce, Margherita Pizza and Pasta Con Pomodoro E Basilico since we are in an Italian restaurant. I just ordered water for the drinks.
"Who'll sponsor the drinks?" Xia broke the silence.
"We'll move the sleepover?" Sav asked Xia.
"I still have a report to prepare," I told them.
I don't have plans of getting wasted so I told them that we should go to a bar instead so that we can stop ourselves from being drunk since we're gonna drive ourselves home. If we drink in Sav's condo, I'm sure we'll get drunk since we would have the mindset of not going home.
"Magkita nalang tayo mamaya. Bihis na kayo before 9:00 p.m," Cairhyll told us.
"10:00 tayo pupunta?" Ari asked Cairhyll.
"Si Zai lang ang magdadala ng sasakyan. Susunduin niya tayo,"Cairhyll added.
Wait, don't tell me their planning to....
"So, Iya can finish her report and then she can drink!" Sav shouted.
Si Zai lang naman ang ayaw uminom. She'll be there to guard us, then. I think I can drink my problems off. I promise myself that this will be my last drink. Thinking that I am a med student, I should establish a good image to the people. Di magandang tingnan na magdodoktora ako and I don't know the negative effects of alcohol to the body.
"Dali na, let's go home na girls so that it's sure na matatapos si Zariyah sa report niya!" They really are planning to get me drunk. But, I don't easily get drunk.
********
True enough, I really finished my report early. We don't have classes tomorrow but I have to practice the presentation with my group tomorrow. After I sent my part to Harvi, I prepared for the party.
Change plans daw because a friend of Sav invited her to a yacht party. Her friend requested Sav to bring us. We still didn't choose a bar that time, so Sav accepted the invitation.
When it was already 8:01 p.m., I took a shower already and started my skincare. I have no plans of putting makeup since we're going to a beach. I wore a maroon bikini top with crisscross strings and I paired it with a maroon high waist bikini bottom. I wore a see through halter dress on top of it. I braided my hair and then I loosely tied it.
Savannah told us that the yacht will stop in an island. There are hotel rooms reserved for us so we can spend the night there. I guess Zaianne has no choice but to also get wasted.
When it was already 9: 37, Zaianne arrived with all the girls ready to party already. We all agreed that we'll swim and stay in the hotel reserved for us there in the island since we all have no classes tomorrow.
When we arrived at the place, the lights were so dim, I can barely see everyone. The music was so loud too. Sav introduced us to her friend who invited us when we arrived and she was so happy to see us here. We separated our ways because the others knew some acquaintances who attended the yacht party.
I was left alone sitting in a high stool with a Tequila. I decided to go into the reserved room already because I can sense that the alcohol was already having an effect to me.
"Stay behind the girl you want to fuck!" I heard a girl dared to a man.
When I stood up, I felt a presence behind me. I faced the person and I was shocked to see Daron Wood standing at my back. I thought it was just Cairhyll or Aria. I was so wrong!
Then, I remembered the dare I heard..What the ?
"What the hell?" I muttered under my breath. That wasn't loud! A mischievous grin was evident on his face when he heard what I said.
Others started looking at me because of what he did. I felt so ashamed!
He went back to the game and I immediately headed to the beach when the yacht arrived in the island. I was so annoyed!
I can't enjoy the view because I can hear whispers about what happened.
I went for a swim in the beach to take all the thoughts in my mind. I felt sober after the swim because of the cold salt water. I took a shower and I waited for my friends to come. But, I already slept before they came with the thought, "I hate him!"
********
I woke up at exactly 5:00 and I saw the girls on the beds still sleeping. I was the only one who changed my clothes because I got wet but I think they got so drunk they couldn't anymore change on their own.
I went down so that I can bring food for us. I thought of what happened last night. He was that famous, huh? Or was it just because of his looks? That was just because of a dare! But, everyone who saw it can't stop talking about it!
When the order was done, I received a text from Sav.
Sav: Where are u?
Me: I bought food.
Sav: Oh, okay.
Sav: Favor, please :)
Me: Why? Anong kailangan mo?
Sav: It's not about food. It's ...a pictorial.
Me: And?
Sav: Mommy asked for a new model for our new release Summer Collection and she asked if will it be okay if it would be you..Please....Iya.
Me: How about Xia or you?
Sav: We're not available and Mommy wants you.
Me: When?
Sav: So, it's a yes?
Me: Yeah
Sav: Thanks, Iya! Tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.
Sav: I'll send the details to you later and also the place. My mom will be so happy! Thank you so much!
Me: Welcome
**********
Tita Veronica, Sav's mom, was really so grateful about me granting her request. I would be her next choice after Sav and Xia since I entered a modeling workshop with them. It's just that I did not pursue a modeling career even if they say it fits me and I'm good at it.
The makeup artists are almost done putting makeup on my face already. They said I would also have a modeling partner and he's already preparing on the other room. The photographers started setting their cameras and the lights already.
There would be three rounds. In the first round, I would wear a floral tube dress. My hair was curled in big wavy curves. I also wore sunglasses to add more style to the fitted dress.
When everything was set, the pictorial started. I haven't meet my partner yet since we did the first and second round separately. In the second round, I wore a olive green one- piece swim suit. The photographer suggested that we'd just take the pictures together in the last round where I would be wearing bikinis already.
The second round was taken in an island. We would probably stay here for the night since we would wait for the sun to set.
I was already waiting in the room for me when I heard a knock in the door.
"Pinapatawag na po kayo, Ma'am Zariya. We'll start na daw," I immediately followed the assistant of Tita Veronica and I went to the beach.
When I arrived, I was stunned to what I saw. A saw a man just wearing a swim brief. It was not because of that! The man is Daron Wood! He's my partner!
"Okay, let's start!" Tita shouted.
She then went near me and introduced me to Daron. When Daron saw me he mischievously smiled, almost laughing. He wasn't expecting me to be his partner too!
"Okay, first pose, Zariyah, humiga ka sa sand," The assistant of Tita Veronica instructed me. Inayos niya din yung position ko.
I followed even though my heart is beating so fast. I'm used to this before! What's happening to me?
" Daron, humiga ka rin sa sand, sa likod ni Iya," He went near me and followed what the assistant of Tita said.
I froze because he wrapped his hands on my waist and pulled me closer to him. I can feel his. He wasn't instructed to do it! Was this part of the pose?
"Ayan! That's why I always knew you too can work together! You two look so good together!" Tita complimented our performance.
"Good thing I accepted the offer," He whispered. He was so near me. He's almost kissing me!
"Okay! Perfect!"
"Last na to, sunset na!" The last pose made me so uncomfortable. Daron's lying in the sand and I was on top of him. My right hand was touching his bare chest. We had the sunset as our background.
I was relieved when the photo shoot is finally done. I can barely breath when he's near me.
I was about to stand because I was still on top of him. But, he stopped me by wrapping his hands on my waist. I faced him and our eyes met.
"Why?" I asked him.
"You need anything?" I asked him again because he didn't answer my question he just stared at me intently.
"I didn't know a future doctor can be that seductive," He told me still not breaking the eye contact.
