"I just caught you…"
I immediately shook my head there. The camera were still focused on me as both Rina and Elton cheered for me.
I could see the twinkle in Rina's eyes on the side of mine. Like she knows how badly I want to sing but I'm just avoiding it for some reason. Because I remember someone.But can I just be with ease now? Because I don't want Ambre to be sad up there watching me.
"Please?" he uttered calmly.
All the rage of heat arises as I face him. I smiled there. I chuckled as they're waiting for my response. Rina was silent on the side as she dropped off some food.
My lips twistded there.
"Fine, what would you like me to sing?" I stated curiously.

"Whatever…"
"Let's say the one you're favorite to sing ..."
I nodded there.
"You're beautiful ah?" Elton chuckled.

I eyed my phone, while my Mommy was busy putting a light makeup to even tone my skin."Will you send for, Frael?" aniya."He'll pick me up, Thomas."He looked up at me.

It seems that all the barrier I am putting to me, won't even pass by his alluring stare."Is it Sunday too, Ingrid? Do you have anything new ?!"My knees softened in his cold tone. I tried to compose myself, to look back with my blank expression, but I couldn't. It was as if he was manipulating me every time I tried to stare at him. It’s scorching, and I don’t want to think I’ll give up just in case.I put aside my thoughts and stared at his defiant gaze. It resembles those very intimidate eyes, that I once can't met before. It used to be, but as I try myself to remember how far he is to reach, I get depressed. Not because I like hi

Just when, three years and counting huh?"Perhaps, you have no intention of coming back?" she asked curiously.My lips rose there. I'm expecting she's gonna question it. I bit my lip at the thought. How after those eight years I'm finally coming back at home. Free again. But I would dare if I had the chance too. So far, I'm fine with that. I sighed as I thought of a few details.

And what's more bothered me was the new feeling of air. I can’t quite imagine that I would reach this point. But I guess its normal, and what made it normal was my feelings of settling free. It’s been a long time something I don’t want to get rid of, but as time goes on I know it’s slowly fading away.My heart skipped a beat as I reminice my first day in New York.

The Emcee teases us.He jokingly glanced at Kier next to him before turning back to me. I laughed at him, while I catch the serious gaze of Kier beside me. Well, they say that we had a secret relationship with my co-model and we just didn’t want to admit it, and I was enlightened with my one on one interview and many still don’t believe.My lips rose and half-open. Can't figure out if to laugh because this question has been asked several times."No. I'm just more focus on works and modeling .." I said wholeheartedly.
