An Oath To Take (Imperfect Girls Series #1)

Chapter 55

The photos that we took after lunch were the solo pictures. Mas inuna nila si Maisie dahil siya ang may pinaka-busy na schedule sa aming tatlo. I was the one who will take the last picture since this is my only agenda for the day.

Matagal-tagal din ang hinintay ko bago sila matapos na dalawa. There were also some sudden problems that happened that made it longer for my turn. Ngawit na ngawit na ako sa pakakatayo habang pinapanood ang dalawang kuhaan ng kani-kanilang litrato. I want to sit so badly, but I'm also afraid to rip the suit apart.

"Maia, let's go. I'll retouch your look. Malapit na silang matapos," aya sa akin ni Meghan at iginaya ako sa maliit na vanity table.

I was busy looking on my phone while they were fixing my hair and retouching some parts of my makeup. Nag-scroll lamang ako sa aking social media habang ginagawa nila iyon.

"Hey, want some water?" rinig kong alok ng isang boses ng lalaki. I was still looking down on my phone as I grabbed the bottled water from the person. I took a sip on the straw that was placed in it and gave it back to him after. "Do you want anything else, Imo?" dagdag nito.

Napakunot ang aking noo nang marinig ang boses nito sa pangalawang beses na tawag niya. I slowly looked over to my side and was immediately taken aback when I saw a familiar face looking down on me. "Andre! Why are you here?" I exclaimed.

My heart started to beat faster as he gave me a wide smile. Narinig ko ang tawanan nina Meghan na inaayos ang aking look at hinayaan akong tignan si Andre nang maayos. He slowly leaned down to me and gave me a swift kiss on the lips. "Hello, Imo," he whispered.

My lips were still widely spread as I unbelievably looked at him. "Why are you here? You're supposed to be back at the office..." nagtataka kong tanong.

He really is still supposed to be there! Ilang oras pa dapat bago siya umalis. He usually leaves so late in the evening.

"I left early to see you," he answered. Napatingin ito sa aking likuran at agad natawa nang makita sina Meghan na naghihintay sa akin. "Go and let them fix you, Imo."

Malawak pa rin ang mga ngiti sa labi akong humarap sa salamin. They quickly retouched my look and released me after doing so. Nang tignan ko si Eva na shinoshoot na rin ay halatang malapit na itong matapos. I walked over to the man who was still staring at me.

Our eyes stayed in contact as I drew closer to him. Humawak ako sa kaniyang braso at unti-unting tumingkayad. I was about to reach up to him for a kiss when I suddenly heard a loud cough from behind us. Agad akong napatigil sa aking ginagawa at nanatili lamang sa aking pwesto.

"Yung lipstick... masisira," parinig ni Meghan habang tuloy-tuloy ang pagtikhim.

I immediately saw Andre chuckled as he placed his other hand behind my waist. He pulled me closer to him and caressed my small waist. Naramdaman ko na lamang ang kaniyang labi sa aking buhok. His kiss lingered there for a second. "I'll give you endless kisses later," he whispered.

I chuckled at his words as I bit my lower lip. Tumango na lamang ako sa kaniyang sinabi hangga't sa tawagin na ako ni Lilia. It was already my time to take photos. Dumiretso si Eva sa table kung saan tatanggalan siya ng makeup.

I felt Andre's presence behind me as I walked over in front of the camera. Lilia started to assist me with what poses I should start on.

Even though I was very busy posing and listening to Lilia's instructions, I can still feel Andre's intense stares boring into me. My heart was beating so fast the whole time I was in front of the light.

Halos ilang minuto rin ang tinagal ng pagkukuha ng mga litrato sa akin hangga't sa matapos na kami. When I already finished, I already saw Eva leaving the studio. We greeted each other first and I introduced Andre to her before she completely left. Si Maisie naman ay anina pa nakauwi, mas nauna pa kaysa kay Eva at mayroon pa iyong gagawin na ibang project.
