Chapter 9
Still The Same







"I don't really understand why do you keep pursuing me to be your muse. I'm pretty sure you already read my profile, right?" diretsong tanong ko sakanya pagkaupo namin saka siya sumenyas sa isang waitress.

I think she's a regular costumer here.

"Oh yes. I got your profile but I wasn't able to review it yet. I was busy the whole day." she explained to me. So she still doesn't know me? Of course if she knows that I am a cousin of her friend— Harris Grae Madrigal, she could've talk to him about me.

"So as I was saying... I can't accept your offer. I am a graduating college student. This is my last semester and I'll just finished my last schedules from our VMA agency then I'll quit modelling." I seriously said trying to make her understand my situation so that she'll stop bugging me.

I was doing well for the past four years since I last saw her. I want her out of my life. Again.

"Rei, there's a big difference between being a muse and a regular model. I heard from Ken that you need a huge amount of money. Mas malaki ang makikita mo dito." tanong niya ng dumating na ang mga pagkain namin.

Bwiset talagang Ken yan! Ginagawa niya ang lahat para lang makapasok siya sa Mendeoz.

"Every time you endorse my brand you'll have millions in your bank account. Puro photoshoot, commercial ang mangyayari at kapag may fashion show ako sa Paris o may mag i-invite sayong ibang fashion show sa Europe another million of money, you still don't want that?" she cockily asked me.

Damn her!

"Our contracts for muse is only 6 months. January palang ngayon hindi ba? Ibig sabihin kakastart lang ng semester niyo? Then it's perfect. Pagkagraduate mo saka matatapos ang contract mo sa amin." dagdag pa niya.

The 6 month contract is actually very convenient for me but I just can't sign to her. That's Alyssa Mendoza.

Balak ko pa sana i-renew ang contract ko sa VMA Modelling Agency pero every 3 years ang contract nila pero ang kailangan ko hanggang graduation ko lang para makaipon pa konti.

"We can also fix about your schedule whenever you're free only since you are still a student." fuck!

Millions? 6 months contract and a schedule that is not conflict with my classes. Oh darn fucking great.

Nilalaro ko na lang ang pagkain ko habang nakikinig sa pagsa-sales talk niya sa akin. I'm at edge of saying yes right away but I just can't. I can't.

Marami pa naman atang modelling agency hindi ba?

Pero yung millions!

Yung millions walang ganon! Unless I am supermodel but no. Wala pa akong mahabang career sa modelling agency. Nasa average lang ako.

"Can I ask... why do you want me to be your muse when there's a lot of famous models out there. Isang lapag mo lang ng contract mo, mabilis silang pipirma. Bakit nagpapakahirap ka pa sa akin?" tanong ko na ikinatingin niya sa akin.

She smoothly eat the steak she was slicing awhile ago as she drinks her red wine. I don't know but she looks so fine doing that simple thing. I feel like I'm inside a movie... like we're shooting a movie right now.

Every scene with her, she makes it look damn expensive. "You have the talent... I saw how you walk in that fashion show and I was watching your shoot awhile ago. I knew from that moment that you were born for this. You're born for a modern art like this." sagot niya sa akin habang nakatingin parin ako sakanya.
