Double Take

Chapter Nineteen

Chapter Nineteen

Why do Damon needs to be like this? Like he's really caring! Mas lalo ko kasing nakikita ang sarili kong nahuhulog na din sa kanya. Ayokong matapos lahat, at baka lahat dahil lang sa fame spotlight namin!

He gave me a thumbs up.

"Retake natin yung scene nyo ni Monty." Ani Direk JM.

Nagkatitigan lang naman kami pero pakiramdam ko nalunod na agad ako sa mga tingin nya. Today was our third shooting day, so far, everything is okay.

"Dapat in character ka, Chen."

I rolled my eyes at Direk JM. Nakaupo lang si Damon dahil scene ko naman ang kukunan. It was a conversation with Sherrina's step mother.

"Ready? One! Two! Action!"

I already practice for my lines and it actually went well. Nakangisi si Damon sa akin nang magbreak kami saglit. Ang sunod na setting ng shooting ay bandang malapit na maggabi.

Pumasok ako sa tent ko, I saw him entering also. Umupo sya sa tabi ko at ginulo ang buhok nya.

"You did a good job,"

"Are you proud of me?"

Hinarap nya ako na may ngisi pa. "Always naman."

Dinala ni Gia ang pagkain namin sa tent. Ang kulit nya ngayon, masyadong mataas ang energy.

The following days were good. Aside from Damon being himself. Pinanlakihan ko sya ng mata.

"What?"

Inirapan ko sya. Natawa naman sya sa akin at nakinig na sa sigaw ni Direk JM. Ali Abarquez visited the set for today. Abala ang lahat sa pakikipag usap kay Ali.

Hindi ko lang napansin iyong wiring at diretso ang ginawa kong lakad. I was about go step on the wire but Damon pulled me. Ending, natumba kami pareho saktong nahulog ang isang gamit, but Damon was hit on his shoulder.

"Oh my god!"

Nakakuha kami ng atensyon kaya ang bilis nilang tinayo ako para icheck si Damon.

"Sabi ko ayusin nyo at makakadisgrasya!" Naiinis na sigaw ni Direk JM.

Nakapikit si Damon habang inaasikaso sya ng med team.

"Chen, are you okay?" Ali asked.

"Yes. I'm okay."

The shooting had to paused because Damon is injured. We had to pack up early and go home. Sinundo si Damon ni Vicky at si Gia naman ang naghatid sa akin.

"Chen, alis na ko."

I was still thinking about Damon, for sure masakit yung mga bubog na nasa balikat nya. I sighed.

"Chen."

Kumurap ako at binalingan si Gia.

"Aalis na ko."

"Okay, thank you, Gia! Ingat ka!"

I took a shower after and lay on my bed. Hindi din ako mapakali, kaya ending nagmessage ako kay Damon. But before I could send my message, he called.

Nataranta ako at agad na nahulog ang phone sa ilong ko.

"Uy." I answered his call.

[Are you sleep?]

"Hindi naman. Scrolling lang sa social media. How are you?"

[I'm okay, no need to worry.] Tumikhim sya. [I just called to check on you.]

I bit my lower lip. "You should take a rest, Damon."

[Hmm, alright. Good night.]

I blew a loud breathe as soon as the call drop. Nabusog na ba ako sa mga sinabi ko na hindi ako bibigay kay Damon? Clearly, I really let myself fall for him.
