“Smile!” Avie took the picture of them too.

Moments later, Sharlene was taken to the set with Jairus following her behind.

“Boyfriend mo? Bagay kayo.” Avie told.

“Ha? Hindi. Bakit?” Sharlene started.

“Ah. Wala lang. Kasi I can sense that he cares for you deeply. May chemistry.” Avie replied.

“Really?” Sharlene then blushed.

Sharlene turned her head slightly toward Jairus. She then felt as if her stomach was empty with butterflies inside. She quickly turned away, blushing.

Sharlene then was taken to the set where she met the photographer.

“Sharlene right? I’m Paul. I’m the photographer for this photoshoot.” He introduced himself. “Since this is your first time, I’ll go lenient on you.” He added.

“Photoshoot?” she asked. “How is this training?” she asked herself.

Sharlene let out a fake smile and went on the set.

“I want you to lift your dress up and give me an expression as if you this was your first time wearing a pretty dress.” Paul ordered.

Sharlene followed and lifted her dress up, revealing silver stilettos that matched her dress. She then thought of a time when she first got the dress she wanted from her mom. From this memory, she smiled and spun around.

“Perfect! You’re a natural!” Paul complimented.

Jairus blushed as he watched her. He couldn’t help but take a picture of her as well.

“Hmm.. Taking pictures of your beloved?” Avie teased.

Jairus kept quiet. “Ah-“

“Ahaha! Thought so! Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone or her. Your secret’s safe with me.” Avie whispered with a wink.

Jairus let out a fake smile while scratching the back of his neck.

“Can you give me various expressions? I’ll give you ten minutes to think of the expressions before we resume.” Paul told. “Take ten!!” He announced.

Jairus then walked to Sharlene and handed her a water bottle.

“Thanks!” She accepted with a big smile.

Paul noticed the two and started taking pictures without them knowing.

“Pagod ka na ba?” Jairus started.

“Okay lang. Ganito pala pag may photoshoot no?” She told as she took a drink.

Sharlene then noticed a guitar on the set.

“Can I play the guitar while waiting?” Sharlene asked.

“Go ahead.” Paul replied.

Sharlene quickly took the guitar. She then noticed another one and took it as well. She brought the other guitar to Jairus. Jairus took a chair and gave it to Sharlene for her to sit on. He decided to sit on the floor.

“Laro tayo?” Sharlene started.

“Sige! Game! Anong song?!” Jairus excitedly accepted.

Sharlene let out a curious look. Paul was still taking pictures.

“Alam ko na! Just play along if you know the song.” She started playing the song “If.”

“If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can’t I paint you? The world will never show, the you I’ve come to know. If a face could launch a thousand ships, then where am I to go?” she started playing and singing.
