"Ahhhh!!!"
I screamed as I look at my alarm clock. I'm biting my nails as I began to panic.
"Why didn't it ring?" I asked myself.
I rushed to the bathroom to take a quick bath. A quick but thorough bath. After only fifteen minutes, I dressed up and put on sunblock. I don't have time to put on makeup. We're running late for his first appointment.
I grabbed my shoes, phone, and sling bag and went out of my room. I didn't even have time to brush my hair. I put the things I'm carrying on the coffee table in the living room and hurriedly went in front of Kris's room.
I was going to knock when the door suddenly opened up. There, Kris showed up. He drying his hair using his towel. HE was dressed in all black. Black v-neck shirt, jeans, and shoes. Even his necklace is black.
For a moment, I was speechless. But of course, I don't have time for that.
"Hey, hurry up, we're running late," I said.
I was going to turn away when he suddenly grabbed my wrist. I stopped and looked at it before facing him.
"What are you still doing?" I asked as I removed his hand. "We need to go now. Your shooting for your advertisement will start in thirty minutes. It's currently nine am. We still have twenty minutes to drive if we leave now."
I was going to turn around when he grabbed my wrist. Again! I'm starting to feel irritated.
{Why does he keep doing this?}
"What?" I asked in an annoyed tone.
"We're not leaving for the advertisement," he said.
My forehead creased due to confusion.
"We're leaving to go shopping," he continued.
"huh?" I even scratched my head. "But you---"
"It's cancelled," he cut me off.
I hurriedly went to the living room and got my phone. I checked my mail if there's an announcement or something but there wasn't anything there. I went back to him and showed my phone screen to him.
"There's no announcement," I said.
He put his hand inside his jeans' pocket to grab something. It was his phone. He opened it and did something before showing the screen to me. My eyes squinted as I read the mail.
"Good morning Actors and Actresses, I wrote this mail to tell you that today's shooting is cancelled due to the company's personal reasons. I hope you understand and I'm sorry if we had caused inconvenience to your respective schedule."
I nodded as I put my face away from his phone.
"Okay," I said.
"Now, can we go shopping?" he asked.
"O----"
I was going to answer him when I suddenly remembered how I look. I rushed to my room. Before closing the door, I shouted first.
"Let me fix my outfit first!!!"
I immediately went in front of my closet and browsed my clothes. I only have a few clothes so I don't have many choices. I picked the black long-sleeved off-shoulder with a sweetheart neckline. I paired it with a white pleated skirt that is two inches above my knee. It's perfect for the black shoes I brought outside earlier.
Next, I went to my vanity mirror. I applied a small amount of lip tint and blended it. I made it look like a gradient. I also applied a blush so I wouldn't look too pale. I finished it off with face powder.
When I was sure I'm done, I went outside and grabbed the shoes I brought earlier. Kris was waiting for me on the sofa. I put on those black shoes and slung my sling on my right shoulder.
"You ready?" he asked while still looking at his phone.
"mm," I hummed as an answer while nodding.
He stood up and put his cellphone in his right pocket and aced me. He looked at me from head to toe. I thought he's going to criticize me for pairing my outfit with him but I was wrong. He gave me a thumbs up and suddenly held my hand. He walked towards the door so I had no choice but to follow him.
My heart was racing so fast. I feel like it can burst any moment right now. It was a violation of my conditions but why can't I stop him right now?
I cleared my throat and forcedly let go of his hand. He stopped walking and looked at me because of what I did. I think he understood the message I wanted to give him. He walked again after briefly looking at me.
[Is he upset?]
He was quiet while we were on the way. I kept on stealing glances at him but I don't think he can see me. Even in his peripheral view. He was busy doing something on his phone. In the end, I was pouting when we arrived. He didn't even help me in going out of the van. He just waited outside.
When the van left, he started to walk like he doesn't have anyone with him. I saw people staring at us and murmuring around. He didn't even look at me.
[Hmph!]
I run to walk beside him. I held his hands and interlocked my fingers with his fingers. I was going to continue walking when I felt him staying still. I looked at him and he was looking at our hands.
I went near him again and reached his ears.
"Your fans are here," I whispered.
After whispering, I continued walking. My words were like vitamins to him. His energy suddenly came back. He even swung our arm while walking. I can't help but smile. He's like a kid who got a lollipop for free. He's smiling so wide
I can see people staring at us but I didn't care about them. This feels good and it's enough for me. Even though it's fake. Even though everything may not be real. I'm still loving this scene. I hope we're like this every day.
