[ Fia's POV]

"WAKE up, sleepyhead. It's time to work," I groaned when I felt a hot breath fanned against my ear. I sleepily moved and blinked my eyes. My voice was caught up inside my throat when I realized that Kayden's face was almost an inches away from my face. He was wearing a smirk, his eyes masking a whimsical look. Agad akong napabalikwas ng bangon at malakas siyang naitulak.

"Anong ginagawa mo?!" I hissed as my heart unknowingly starts to beat in haywire. I felt my cheeks flush ng bigla kong maalala ang kahayupang ginawa niya kagabi.

Ugh. Why did I ever let him do that?

You were only caught off guard, equipped my friendly conscience.

Oo nga. Nabigla lang ako. Never in the world would I let this jerk kiss me. Si Elj lang. Only Elj.

"Napanaginipan mo ba ako? Mukhang tulala ka parin hanggang ngayon," he said, his eyes were again playfully taunting me.

Napasimangot ako, inilayo ang tingin sa kanya. Ugh, but I just couldn't meet his eyes after last night. Naiinis ako sa sarili ko. "Kung napanaginipan man kita, malamang binangungot na ako at hindi na nagising," sabi ko pero ang walang hiya, tinawanan lang ako.

Humugot ako ng malalim na hininga. Pilit kinalma ang sarili pero muli ay nagsalita na naman siya.

"Tulo laway ka pala kapag natutulog, babe."

Pigil na pigil ko na namang masapak siya ng kung anumang bagay. I don't have the strength na patulan siya ngayong kay aga-aga pero laking gulat ko ng may inabot siyang tissue box sa harap ko.

"May panis ka pang laway," he mocked.

Naningkit agad ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya. Gigil kong hinaplot ang tissue box at ibinato sa mukha niya. Mintis. Sa bintana sa likod niya iyon tumama. "Walang hiya ka talaga!" nangingig kong sigaw.I wished I was strong enough to strangle his neck para hindi na siya makahinga.

"You have a feisty temper in the morning. Pareho kayo ni mommy," he remarked habang tawa parin ng tawa, and put back the tissue box on top of the dashboard na para bang walang nangyari.

I gave him a scowl. "Ano ba talagang gagawin natin dito? Akala ko ba magtatrabaho ako bilang secretary mo?"

"That's right, Fia. And you will start today," he said and took something from the backseat. A huge bowling bag.

Napasalubong ang kilay ko. "Anong gagawin ko?"

"Taga-bitbit ng gamit at taga-templa ng kape." Ngumisi siya. "Taga masahe na rin." Inilapag niya ang bag sa mga hita ko."Be careful with that. Mahal pa 'yan sa buhay mo."

He was already out in a snap bago pa ako makaratsada sa kanya. May mga gamit at bags pa siyang kinuha sa likod ng pick-up.

Sinubukan kong kalmahin ang sarili ko. I'm here with him on purpose. I won't stop until I will have my camera back. Kung iniisip niyang makakaisa siya sa akin dahil sa pang aasar niya, nagkakamali siya.

With sheer determination I carried his bag na may laman yatang limpak-limpak na bato sa bigat.

Ugh. Kapag ako nakaganti. Paglalakarin ko talaga siyang nakaluhod hanggang sa mapudpod ang tuhod niya.

Humanda siya!

I HAVE no idea that Kayden was going to film scenes for his independent movie in this desserted beach.Walang katao-katao at mga kabahayan. Tanging mga puno ng niyog at ilang mangroves lang ang makikita sa beach front. Buti nalang mamuti-muti ang kulay ng buhangin kaya medyo nabuhayan ako ng dugo. Medyo nakakamiss rin kasi ang mga beach dito sa Pilipinas.

Simula nang umandar ang shoot ay hindi pa ako nakakalapit sa kanya. Masyado siyang seryoso. He was barking orders here and there. Tutok na tutok siya sa monitor ng camcorder, maya't mayang kinakausap ang mga artista niya at maya't maya rin niyang inuutusan ang kung sino-sinong nakapalibot na mga tao sa set.

Medyo naloka ako ng bahagya. I have never seen this side of him before. Dati kasi noong nagbinata na siya, lagi, kapag naabutan ko siya sa bahay nila kasama niya ang mga kabanda niya ay nakikipag-asaran lang siya. Lagi pa nga akong subject ng pang-aasar niya kahit nandoon ang mga kabanda niya. Si Bleeze na pinsan niya ang bukod tanging sumasaway sa kanya kapag ka nasosobrahan na siya lalo pa 'pag wala si Elijah.

"Direk, start na po ba tayo?" that's what I overheard from one of the crew kanina.

Akalain mo? Totoo nga palang gumagawa siya ng pelikula aside sa iba pa niyang talent?

Medyo lumayo ako ng bahagya sa set at naki-silong dito sa puno ng niyog kasi sobrang init. Mukhang hindi naman ako pansin ni Kayden kanina pa, na lubos ko namang ipinagpasalamat.

There were also people around the set na naglilipot at nagbibigay ng tubig at sandwiches. I had taken mine earlier kasi tumunog na ang tiyan ko. Kayden had never eaten anything since the shoot had started. Tubig lang ang ininom niya.

Sobrang pawis na pawis narin siya kanina pa. I had seen him took off his sweater. He had a white t-shirt inside but the t-shirt didn't give enough justice to his lean and firm muscles underneath. I even saw how the women around the set, dropped their jaw when he changed that white shirt. And it was also the first time that I took notice of his tattoo. May tattoo siya sa bandang likuran. It seems like words written in cursive form pero hindi ko mabasa. Pagkatapos niyang magbihis ay naglagay rin siya ng kulay pulang bandana sa ulo niya. Siguro, ay para hindi na tuluyang pumunta ang pawis niya sa mukha.

I just rolled my eyes ng makitang laway na laway na ang mga babaeng nakapaligid sa kanya. Napansin ko rin iyong isa niyang artista. Kanina pa mukhang lumalandi sa kanya. Ang lagkit ng tingin kay Kayden at sobrang touchy pa. Kaloka.

Well, bagay sila. Parehong maharot.

And why the hell am I thinking of these things? Hot na siya kung hot pero asshole parin siya.

I shrugged my head and thought of things that would keep my mind away from him.

"Water?"

Napalingon ako sa pinanggalingan ng boses. I saw a tall guy standing beside me. He's about Kayden's age. Cute at mukhang mabait. Siya lang ang bukod tanging nakita kong hindi inutusan ni Kayden. I even saw them talked alot about something. Hindi ko naman kasi sila naririnig.

Inabot ko ang bottled water at tipid siyang nginitian. "Thanks."

"You're with Kayden?" tanong niya.

"Uhm yes."

"Girlfriend?" he pried.

"No!" mabilis pa sa alas kwatrong sagot ko. Never. And that would never ever happen.

Natawa naman siya sa naging reaksiyon ko.

"Ang totoo, uhm. Secretary niya ako," sabi ko habang nakatingin sa magiging reaksiyon niya.

"Secretary? Kailan pa nagkasecretary si Kayden?" he laughed habang napailing-iling. "You doesn't look like a secretary."

Nakitawa narin ako ng bahagya. This guy seems to be nice. "Totoo, secretary talaga niya ako. Uhm ikaw? Are you part of the team?" tanong ko kahit na obvious naman na parte nga siya ng team.

"I'm Kayden's co-producer." He extended his hand. "Ericson Gomez."

I smiled and shook his hand. "Maria Ferroria Carmina Garcia. Fia nalang for short."

"You have a lengthy name," komento niyang nakangiti parin. Medyo nakaka goodvibes siyang kausap in fairness.

"Oo nga."

"Why won't you take a look of the set. I'll show you around para hindi ka naman mag-isa dito."

Wow, he seems to be really nice. Unlike that jerk. Pagkarating namin kanina diretso na agad sa set at hindi man lang ako pinakilala. Wala talagang siyang manners.Mabuti pa nga iyong ibang mga tao sa set, maya't maya akong nilalapitan at tinatanong kung okay lang ba ako, o kung nagugutom ba ako.

Nilingon ko si Kayden, to check if he was still into what he was doing pero natigilan ako ng sa direksiyon ko siya nakatingin.

His eyes bare something that I couldn't name. Parang pinapalapit niya ako sa kanya na ewan.

Hmmp bahala siya. I have not been useful to him since the shoot had started. Pwede namang i- enjoy ko ang sarili ko  with knowing people, diba?

Bumalik ang tingin ko kay Ericson, binigyan ko muli siya ng matamis kong ngiti. "Uhm sige."

[Kayden's POV]

I DON'T know if having Fia with me could do me any good at all. People at the set took notice of her the first time we came in. Guys had been simply peeking at her legs. Ni hindi man lang niya naisipang palitan iyang napakaiksi niyang pantulog na shorts. And she must have enjoyed the guys' attention too. She had been flirting with every man she came across with. Eric's with her right now at nakikipagkwentuhan, kasama pa ang ilang lalaki sa set.

"Boss, sama ng tingin natin ah. Bago niyo?"

I glared at Dino and gave him a tough look.  "Mind your own business. Tingnan mo ang lightning kung okay na."

Napakamot siya sa ulo. "Sabi ko nga po boss."

Binalik ko ang tingin ko sa monitor at sandaling tiningnan ang huling scene na nakuha namin.

It wasn't good. Siguro ay mag-e-extend pa kami ng ilang oras para makuha ko ang gusto kong timpla ng eksena. I took I sigh. I had been totally distracted.  I have never eaten anything since the shoot had started and my flirt of a secretary was having the time of her life. Hindi ko makuhang itutok ang buong atensiyon ko sa ginagawa.

I glared at her again. She was laughing, sitting in a monoblock chair next to Eric . Ni hindi niya pansing bahagya nang nakadikit ang mga binti niya kay Eric. Or was she intentionally doing that to seduce him?

I gritted my teeth. Might as well make use of her now and show her some spanking for being the little flirt woman that she was.

I  decided to call out everyone's attention. 

"Everyone! We'll take a thirty-minute break!" I tapped Dino's shoulder. "Kakain lang ako."

He's the set designer and he has a deadpan sense of humor. He cracks a joke without smiling. Tapos, ang cute cute pa niyang magsalita kasi chubby yung mukha niya. He kinda reminds me of Majin Buu inDragon Ball Z.Hindi ko na pinansin si Kayden magmula kanina. Mukhang plano yata niyang magpakamatay sa gutom. Bahala siya. Baka pinakain narin siya nung aristang lumalandi sa kanya."Poy, awat na 'di na makahinga si Fia,"puna ni Alvi na siya namang props manager."Okay lang. Gusto ko nga eh.

And I have to curse at myself for imagining things I shouldn't imagine. Her memory of that night haunts me again. The feel of her soft skin while she touched me... Her feathery fingers running over my body... Her sweet lips... Her heady smell... And her head bobbing up and down my shaft, swirling, licking, and sucking, making incoherent sexy noises, giving me a head of a lifetime.The memories were still so vivid as I remember.I let out a mental curse again as I was having a hard time wiping her puke. My hand trembled as I ran the cloth over her chest.

I felt feverish at the heat of his stare. Bigla akong na conscious. I held onto my towel habang ang isa kong kamay ay napatukod sa pinto ng banyo. I felt dazed and I don't know if it was still from the alcohol or from the alien feeling that abruptly hitched the moment I met his eyes.The last time I've checked I hate him. And I still hate him. He's a jerk and I'm sure that he will remain a jerk for good!Napalunok ako at bahagyang napapikit sapo ang ulo ko. My head was literally spinning. I was drunk last night and I

Can you imagine how small I am carrying a big baby inside my tummy? My amniotic fluid abruptly increased too and I've developed gestational diabetes along the way.

    [Fia's POV]My Baby,I've always dreamed of giving you a letter ever since we were kids but failed. I've lost count how many letters I've written just to express how sorry I am for making you cry every time I pissed you off. I tried handing them to you, all of it, but I fall short of bravery. I was afraid that you won't take them or you won't read them like how you'd read the letters of my brother. I've watched how your beautiful eyes glow and glimmer with sheer delight every time he hands you his letters. I was scared that I won't see the same vibe from your eyes once you read mine. There were even times that I would only look at you from afar while you read his letters and I couldn't help but envy. How I wished I could also put a smile on your cute little lips or could arouse a gi

A smile broke on my lips. Our little girl looked so cute with her crinkled round chocolate brown eyes and pouted red little lips. She was already three years old and she had grown so pretty and adorable. Only, she could get a handful at times. Kasalanan rin ng daddy niya dahil masyado niyang ini-spoil ang anak namin. Her daddy sighed and took the pink band on her hand."I thought you liked the pony. You've been asking me to do that hairstyle for so long. You said it's your favorite."

I was about to jump into his arms when he caught me with his and shut me into a tight embrace. Sobrang mahigpit na mahigpit ko rin siyang niyakap at tuluyan na akong napahagulhol.

    [Kayden's POV]I have never loved a woman to the point of losing myself. Since I started to recognize my feelings for her, she was the only one that I care about. I put her on a pedestal, taking away my pride, swallowing every ton of hurt that I feel whenever I don't hear a comeback I love you from her, giving her every favor though I feel like she had only kept me for her use. Kinaya kong lahat ng iyon because I was determined that eventually, I will have her heart.And I thought I did. But I just thought.Sinubukan kong gumalaw but I couldn't move a muscle. My head hurts from taking in over a dose of alcohol. I tried to move my hands but they hurt the same too. I might have broken every knuckle I have from beating the wall of this room. Ni hindi ko na kinayang umabot sa kama. I wasn't able to make it to bed last night because I've passed out when I've drained all my force of beating the wall.

Si Louise at si Mikaela naman ay sa isang couch malapit sa pinto. Kinutuban na agad ako ng masama. I put a hand in my tummy at pinakiramdaman ang baby ko. "Fia?! Thank God, you're awake!"Alice stood up from her stool at lumapit sa'kin."Kamusta na ang pakiramdam mo? May masakit ba sa'yo?"She framed a hand to my cheek. Napatango ako at nag iinit ang mga matang napatitig sa kanya."

I clenched my hands into a fist, almost breaking the bones of my fingers. I could feel a massive gush of combined heat and cold pounding against my head, making me see nothing but red. My insides were burning with a passion to kill, a savage rage that needs to be released.Without warning, I came up to the f*cker not giving a f*ck if he was asleep and defenseless. Neither did I look at the woman beside him, afraid to see what'd be written in her eyes if they will shoot open to me. Nothing I did next make sense to me anymore. I thrashed the f*cker's head and violently slammed his body off the floor creating a loud thud. It made his eye

But the house lights were off when I got there. There was no sign of her. I heaved a sigh, trying to ease out the burden in my chest. Nagkatampuhan lang naman kami. I never thought she would take it as bad as it is right now. It was past eight and she should have been home by now. She was taking a day off and I wasn't sure if she was with her friends.
