Chapter 34

The concept is…a guy would come closer, and I would place my hand on his chest as he drew nearer. I'm going to put my hand on the guy's chest while he's facing forward and will be facing sideways.


It was a little intimate. It wasn’t my first time doing this but I feel extremely nervous to do this with him.


That is what we are now doing. My hand was resting in his chest as I glanced sideways toward the camera and felt Kaiurs hand behind my back holding the perfume.



It was quite unsettling, and I have no idea whose heart is thumping so loudly. His heartbeat is tense, and I can feel it. I saw my hands moving up and down, nervously.


When the photographer wants us to remain in this position so he may take more shots, I wanted to curse. This is illegal. Our distance is legal and I don’t like how this affect us differently.

“Perfect shot! Just stop with the that pose, and I’ll take nay picture of it!” Kairus exhaled, and I could feel a slight movement in his, and I feel his moved a little. He places his jaw gently beside my forehead.

“This is nerve-racking…”

I rolled my eyes. Nerve-wrecking my ass. when he saw my reaction, and when I felt his right hand creep toward my waist, my spirit hardly flinched.


“I started to like this…” He whispered. I looked at him for the first time. “I started to like this…with you.”


“Perfect!” The photographer yelled. I stopped. I suddenly realized that I had been in that position for too long after I had frozen.


I turned away from him and moved away.


There are some words that are sometimes best kept behind the mouth and buried. There are some good words that don't feel pleasant when spoken. There are some phrases that are kind to the heart but also exacerbate heartache.

It’s not appropriate to speak, especially if it is already over.


It was over. It was too late.




After that, I hurriedly returned to my seat. We will have another shoot in different setting. Rosy instantly sat down next to me.


“How was it?” Rosy asked, I'm not sure what he meant when he asked Rosy that. Was he asking about the shoot specifically or what’s happening or what I feel during that shoot.



“It was fine.” I said. As I looked in the mirror, I noticed Kairus standing a few meters behind me. The manager approached him as he was clutching a water bottle that the other staff gave to him.

He was alone and had no help. He came straight here for this. He had no assistant behind him.

He is also a fast learner. The photographer just said what he wants us to do, and he perfectly gave him what the CEO wants. I just knew that the CEO wants him but for sure he would be shock with Kairus’ aura in that shoot.


I’m still confused why is he here. He is not good at this. He doesn’t like this and the noise it coming from the social media. If we talk about the financial, I will never think that Kairus needs this money. He was already born rich and even grow richer than that.


They call us after ten minutes break, and Kairus is already ready. All the time, he was just waiting for me to pull the stunts, and he would do the entire.


Our stares and his breathing is not even. I’ve been carried out by his stares that I will never believe him. It was dangerous. He was dangerous how could he put casts spell in one’s world.



The shoot ended. The crew, the staff, director, and photographer complimented us. They were even so ecstatic about our team up for this.

The Owner and the CEO of the Legacy Quedar Perfume. He was so happy that he asks us to dinner, alone with us the two.

The owner, Mr. Afredo delivered catering food in the set. The staff were so happy ad taken care of. They were eating, laughing and softly talking enjoying the food.


I know that once this shoot would be posted in social media, the netizen would react to this. I don’t see it yet if its good or bad, and one thing for sure is that…they will be happy and excited about it with him.


I was in my seat. Rosy is just seated not too far away. She was chatting with the other staffs and crew.


I was shocked when I lifted up my head, Kairus was already standing behind me. I couldn’t continue my food. He walked closer, and I saw how the crew darted their eyes to us.


My eyes moved to his hand. He put a water bottle beside my food. I didn’t notice that I don’t have drinks in my table.


“Your brother will be coming here” He asked, standing beside me. I nodded plainly.


“Yep.” I replied.


I can’t even focus but I continued eating, anyway. I can’t just shoo him away and it would make me bad.


“Mr. Alfredo invited us together. We should go together there.” He said, continuously.


“Okay.” I replied again.



Did he forget that we parted ways without a good reasons and no proper goodbyes. He walks out our door, wrecking. He shuttered my soul that it cost me in the end of the pain.



He didn’t leave. I was waiting him to leave but he stayed like he wanted to ask more.



“How is Kelsey by the way….” I asked softly. It made him relaxed. I glance my eyes to him and I saw him smile.


‘She’s good,” He replied. “She wanted to see you but…she was a little bit shy.”



The end of my lips rose. I was happy the thought that she would still want to see me. My brother hurt her more. He wreck her heart, life and dream. It was already done, crushed and damaged and I can’t do anything to re-direct it.


“If you have time, you can call her.” I nodded with a smile but it slowly disappear as he continued, “Then can I have your number, and text you?'
