Sa takot ko, I didn't reply to his dm. The news about Kade and I dating has spread like wild fire.It was everywhere.
"Girl, you didn't tell me you're dating Kade pala."
"Nasa Maldives ka na pero nakaabot pa sa'yo yan?" I sputtered.
" Duh, social media atsaka you two are the hottest thing right now. Imagine, yung dalawang pinaka-attractive na tao sa buong mundo, dating. That is so lit!" She squealed.
" Stop it, Reiv. Your my best friend tapos you're bullying me. I told you, I thought it was my dummy account!"
" You're so tanga naman kasi. What happened next ba? Did he dm-ed you?"
" Yes. " I whispered.
Then I heard her squeals from the other line.
" What did you reply?"
"Uh, nothing. Dapat ba meron?"
Suddenly, she just hanged up.
My social media is now good except that Kade has been mentioning me in his post and stories.
People are speculating even more. Releasing articles every single hour.
I had to postpone some appointments because I can't even go out of the village. Thank God, the security is high so no paparazzi or fans can get into my home.
"Ikaw talaga, miss. Hindi mo man lang sinabi na kayo na pala ni idol Kade. " She even wanted us to have a photo together. How could I do that? Hindi naman talaga kami.
The next week came and I had to face the world. Even my mom and dad were excited na may boyfriend na daw ako at the age of 21. They wanted me to bring Kade into our house for a dinner but I can't since that thing between us is just a hoax.
Today, I'll be going to my first ever photoshoot after the dating rumors have bombed.
They didn't tell me what is the concept. I was worried and so is Mama Honey but I just have to face and socialize with people again.
"Good morning, Miss Isla. " Before I could even talked, I heard giggles behind me. When I turn around, my mouth dropped because a gorgeous human being is in front of me.
"Hi, love." He uttered.
The staffs were whispering to each other.
Kade freaking Doyle just called me love! What the?
"H-Hello?"
"It's good that you're now here, Mr. Doyle. My people will now dressed you both."
I was just there, frozen.
I was more shock when he wrapped his arm on my waist, more like protecting me.
"Let's go?"
I followed him like a good puppy. We were dressed up in a stylish gown and him in a tuxedo. I was given a bouquet.
We were led to the studio styled into different rooms.
"Dito po muna kayo." A staff requested.
We followed. It was just a white sofa with flowers on the floor and on the sofa. There are also pillars on both sides adorned with roses and vines.
"Act natural. This is like a fun pre-nuptial shoot."
I was too stiff that we had to do lots of takes.
I was standing there, super behaved when Kade suddenly pulled me and I landed on his lap then I heated a shutter sound followed by a flash of the camera.
I may look dumb there.
"Perfect!"
"Chill, love."
My oxygen is now robbed, ladies and gentlemen.
I got used to him being so sweet to me so it was just now easy.
After that, they dressed me in a moon and stars print lettuce trim Cami pajama set.
The design was too cute that I wanted to take it home.
The next set-up was in a king-sized bed.
We were so close to each other that it shock me when he went on top of me, our nose touching each other.
It took us almost all day to shoot the entire thing. We were dressed up in various ways. And all the time, I was blushing red!
I couldn't help it. His stares, words and gestures are enough to make me hyperventilate. If it wasn't for some breaks I would be unconscious.
When we had our lunch, we shared a plate. He was feeding me and I was too him. I was like under his spell.
"Feed me too, love." And I did.
The people around us can't stop whispering and squealing. Mama Honey was smiling widely the whole time.
Then, you guessed it! Articles were published. Photos of us behind the camera leaked. I didn't knew who could have captured it but he or she sure has capture every moment that he was doing sweet nothings to me.
"Dating na ba talaga kayo, Isla?"
"No, mama! Siya kasi eh!"
" What about him? "
" Pinapakilig niya ako! "
Then a voice from the back mused.
There I was again, face heated up. It was of course, Kade.
" Glad that I make you feel that. You do the same to me, love."
Mommy!
I was biting my bottom lip to prevent myself from shouting because of too much feelings.
"Don't bite your lip. Only I get to do that."
"Uh," was the only thing I could say. I was damn speechless.
Yung banat na 'yon, patok na patok sa akin. Baka puso na lang ako paglabas ng studio.
I was reminiscing those while I was in bed, ready to go to sleep. He even offered to take me home but I refused. I even told him na next time na. Kapal ng mukha ko! May next time pa ba?
I was sleepless that night. I really wanted to sleep but his face, words bothers me and I can even smell him in my room.
My bags are black when I woke up the next day. I prepared myself for an appointment to my modelling agency. I was about to open the garage when a honked came from outside my gate. I exited the gate to find the very handsome, god-like Kade Doyle resting on his BMW M6 convertible.
He remove his shades and winked at me.
"Good morning, love. Would you give me the pleasure of giving you a ride?"
And without noticing I nodded.
Help me, God!
