[AGATHA NGUYEN] I love Lexie! It is not true that I am incapable of love because I've been secretly loving her for a long time. It is apparent to me that we are going nowhere. Lexie was confused about our being best friends when she learned I was gay. Perhaps she's bored and wants to try something different to her taste. That's all it is. I love Lexie too much; cut to the chase where I don't want to pursue her because maybe I'm afraid of being hurt and left by her eventually. Conceivably it's better to cut now while I can still drive the steering wheel. Rather than prolonging, it will be more painful to tolerate. I no longer go against what she wants. After I got dressed, I left directly without looking back. There is distress in my chest, and it's rigid not to feel it. I tried to ignore the gloom that arose. I'm forcing my mind that this is better than drowning deeply in love, and too late to save my ass. I have to fight my emotions to protect myself too.And it is also for L
[LEXIE LEWIS]Days I had passed, weeks, months, then years. I had never seen Agatha since then. As for me, I made myself so busy that I didn't seem to think of her anymore. I don't know if that's a fact or want to believe it. Fortunately, I got more projects, which is good for my career. Endorsers, tv commercials, movies, and even series that I mostly feel won't come into my life, yet here I am, striking on my busy schedules. "Are you ready, Ms. Lexie?!" The staff asks as I cut my thoughts. "Take 1 2 3 actions!" The Director shouts, then I begin to go on with my character. We are currently shooting my noontime drama. "Suzzette... My love! Let's not make it a big deal. I'm sorry I cheated, seduced, and tempted, but you are the love of my life. Let's start all over, please. " That's his dialogue, my leading man. As the director instructed me to do, I needed to pour tears. It became easy as I thought about Agatha, who I missed so much. "Okay! Cut! Good job! Nice work, Lexie!" I wip
[LEXIE LEWIS] I threw out my bag onto the bed the moment I entered my room. My unsettled irritation beats me over and over that, almost losing control. "Who the hell did she think she was?! Damn! Seriously? What the heck registered in her mind?! With all the celebrities in this industry, I am the most professional she would work with!" "Hey! What're the intense tensions all about?!" My PA curiously asks, seeing me boiling out in ragged. "That damn girl.. The author of my upcoming tv series.." I managed to say without stuttering."What about her? She seems so.. nice.." I gasped in disagreement. "It's just a mask.. Don't be fooled by her.." I said with a frown, sitting on my sofa and removing my shoes."You know her?!" Her eyes turn like a scanner of thoughts. I sighed, trying to calm myself first before explaining to her my past relationship with Agatha. "She's my best friend. A former one." "And now an enemy?!" Her eyebrows met. I'm not sure if I can go with the details. "You c
"How would I ask for an autograph?! Damn, that's Lexie Lewis..." Agatha blurted out frustration through her mind as she walked along the hallway when she arrived at the set. She thought someone could do it for her, but the problem was the photo that Lexie was about to sign. On her way, she bumped into Yuri, who she remember being Lexie's PA. "Oh, Ms. Agatha. I'm so sorry I was in haste. Lexie's having stomach cramps." Her brows creased as she heard about Lexie. "Is she alright? Hmm.." Agatha could not help but make sure Lexie was doing fine. "Ahm, yeah. It is just her monthly period which is normal for us girls, right?" Awkwardly, Yuri stated. "Besides, I got her medicine with me, so I'll go ahead.." She was about to leave, but Agatha grabbed her hand to stop. Yuri confusedly looks at her. "Ahm, just hug and gently stroke her back until the discomfort subsides. She'll calm after that." Yuri subconsciously just nodded. Then again, Yuri is about to take off," Hold on, Yuri. Can I
Lexie is in her dressing room, preparing for her next scene, where she will wear bikinis. "How about this one?!" Yuri suggested for the 5th time, losing her patience, but still, Lexie couldn't decide."I don't think so. This one fits me, Yuri," Lexie said, looking at herself in the mirror, not satisfied. Yuri began to think, frowning out of frustration and narrowing. A bunch of bikinis are already scattered on the couch."What really matters? Pray to tell, Lexie?!" Lexie frowned, wondering what her friend meant. "You never used to be like this. You really don't care what you wear or look like." Yuri's eyes widened and seemed to think of something. "Is it because of that writer?!" She said meaningfully. Lexie was rewarded with mocking eyes."Geez... What the hell are you talking about?!" Lexie, with her denial, responds. "You are too obvious, Lexie.. Come on.. What's the point anyway? She already has a girlfriend.." "Is it a crime now to want to look good?" Yuri shrugs. After fin
Agatha is at present in bed next to her girlfriend, who is lying on her chest and hugging her. "Gossip has wings. I perceived what happened on the set the other day. I'm so proud of you, pochi.. You save my idol from an impending audacious act." "Uncertainty. The bastard already acquired what he wanted. But I will guarantee it won't fall out again. I'm gonna expose him and ravage his career in my power." "That's a relief, then. My beloved girlfriend is protecting my idol, Lexie. That's awesome!" The girl exclaimed. Meanwhile, Agatha couldn't get out of her mind what had occurred. How many times has Lexie experienced that? To imagine it, she is squirming out in annoyance. Her blood seems to be boiling, and she wants to kick someone's ass at that very moment. And Lexie, on the other side of the world, was having a deep thought while sitting on the veranda, handling her glass of wine sipping on it as she stared into the void. Return to her memories of her various bad experiences th
"Isn't that Agatha Nguyen? The famous novel writer who acted like a hero?!" Orio exclaimed.Orio is her long-time suitor and co-actor that she had worked on before in one of her movies. "How did you know her by face?!" Figuring out, she asked. "I saw her one time on some vlog, I guess. She had a meet and greet with her loyal readers. Some of them recorded it. That's how I knew her." Orio explained, peeking at Agatha not far away. "Do you wanna join them?!" Instantly, Lexie opposes his suggestion. "Why not? I heard you guys will soon have a project together. Isn't it?" "It's not confirmed yet though my manager talks about it earlier on the phone. But she said she will call me if there's any update." "So you are too looking forward to working with her, though." Orio seems to be apprehensive. "I'm not the one to decide that. It's always my manager. You sound not okay with it.. What's the matter?" "First time, if ever. You are going to be partnered with a girl, Lexie. Aren't you a
The following day, Lexie, in her room, wearing her lingerie with her tied-up messy hair, was still preoccupied with what happened the other day."What got into your head, Lexie, and you let that happen? People started taking photos and videos of you. Everything can be discussed in private. You are fully aware of that.." Her manager reprimanded her the very moment it entered her bedroom, raising an eyebrow with a frowning forehead when they met, talking about her viral video. "Don't know how to knock first? So early in the morning for this nagging.." She uttered with irritation visible on her face. Her intense exchange of words with Orio, confessing her feelings about Agatha, is spreading and getting attention on social media so fast. Lexie, for the first time, didn't seem to regret what she did and was proud of herself. She still couldn't believe it after she let go of her long-standing feelings for Agatha, along with the censored eyes around them."But anyway... What else could w
"Yuri! In all people, why Agatha? You let her bring me home?" Lexie could not afford it and seemed to lose her patience. "And who do you think I would call? Besides, you are safe with her. Even if people catch you together, it won't be a problem. As you know, they would probably be elated to see you guys hang out." Lexie, even more, became vexed. "Oh! God, Yuri. The hell!" Grumbling, Lexie lifted her head out of trouble, touching her temple, not knowing if it ached due to a hangover or if Agatha was the reason. "I know, but I had no choice. My mom was rushed to the hospital last night." "What? How was she now? Gosh. I'm so sorry to hear that, Yuri. I didn't know, but please, next time, it could be anyone but not Agatha." "She's recovering. How about you? Are you alright? Don't you remember anything at all? Damn girl. You had the guts to confess your feelings to her with all ears and eyes wide open." "What? What are you talking about?!" Lexie got confused, meeting Yuri's eyes. "
I was about to sleep when Clover came. She faces me, crying for the first time. I noticed that she had been drinking but not that drunk. "I love you so much, Agatha. I'm sorry, okay. I won't do anything to make you upset again. But please don't leave me. I can't.." I just hugged her. When she calmed down, she moved to face me again, throwing a forced smile at me. "I watched Lexie's mall tour. You did go to show your support. That's good for your upcoming movie together.." Clover said, followed by smiling again. "Hmmm. When are you going to shoot again? Can I come?!" She asked in a seemingly sad voice. I just nodded in agreement. "You can come anytime...just say so," I explained then she snuggled me into a hug. I frowned as there seemed to be something strange about her. "Have you had dinner yet? Do you want to eat?!" I asked as Clover sat on the couch. I just looked at her while standing in front of her. She shook her head for a few moments. "I haven't eaten since yesterday.." He
After a tiring day, my back directly collapsed on my soft bed when I got home. I let out a deep sigh as my hands were spread, and I just stared at the ceiling. I reflect on the scenes of Lexie singing on stage. She is still excellent, nothing has changed, and she is even more attractive. A thought came back from the dead. I was about to try to pursue her to take back all my hurtful words, but I didn't have the chance to do so. Lexie changed her number and her place. I have lost contact with her. That's when I thought that's maybe for the best because I didn't deserve her. It's all from the past now. What I heard from Yuri suddenly came to my mind. Does Lexie need to use me as an excuse for that, Orio? Does she have to lie for something else? I shake my head at that idea. She made me believe in something that I felt was true. For a moment, I deemed sorry for her, thinking I'd become so cruel to her and didn't at least stand for her feelings about me. Perhaps this is all pla
A sudden doorbell cut my thoughts. Perhaps Clover now realizes what she is doing behind my back. Good for her because I don't give a shit. I may love her, but that's not enough reason not to put an end to everything if she messes up. She knows me better than anyone. I don't tolerate stupid things. As I opened the door, my eyes narrowed. "And who are you?!" Suddenly I speak up. "Can I come in?!" I hissed at his apparent rudeness from there. "Didn't you hear me first? I said, who are you.." Emphasizing my last statement and throwing him a killer look, he just grinned, making me revolt. "Oh, my bad.. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Facundo Monte Mayor, manager of Lexie Lewis." My mouth hangs open. So this is the asshole they were talking about. Without my permission yet, he welcomes himself to come in. I gaped in disbelief. Doubtless, he's indeed a pain-in-the-ass kind of person. "Today is Lexie Mall tour.. and I have a favor to ask, but of course, if you would not mind.
Orio suddenly came to the set. He was probably looking for Lexie, but Yuri saw him first. "You are looking for Lexie?" He turned to where the voice came from. He just nodded in response. "I don't think this is the right time for you to talk..." Yuri said. "Did her manager ban her? I know Yuri. That Facundo brought nothing good between Lexie and me because our tandem before didn't go well.""Hey.. Don't be like that. He's just avoiding more issues to come." "I don't see any problem if all I wanna is to apologize to Lexie. That's all I've got, Yuri, so if you could please help me.""You know, Lexie. She will talk when she's ready, Orio, but for now, it's better to cool down the issues first. Then come what may, you can talk to her again." "It's fine, Yuri..." Suddenly Lexie showed up with a flat face. "What you have to say, Orio?" She asked in a calm tone. Yuri left, giving them the privacy they needed. Hesitantly Orio tried to open his mouth, gulping, collecting all his courage to
After a run-off at the mouth, Clover finally forgave me. Still, I hadn't mentioned to her about a producer who offered me to be part of the main cast of the movie that he would produce. I know Clover will support me, but Lexie is the one I'll be paired off with within the said movie. I should ask for her opinion as my girlfriend after what happened. Maybe now she wants me to stay away from Lexie. That's understandable, but if I were asked and got to decide, I would not think twice about going for it. An opportunity like this is once in a lifetime, like in a fairytale I used to read in my childhood days. But to my surprise, she agreed. "I can turn it down, Clover. Besides, I'm a writer, not an actress.." "What the hell are you talking about? Of course not! Why would I deprive you of this turning point in your career? Yeah, at first, I was hurt when you lied or didn't tell me about Lexie, but that's it. All are well now. As you said, that's already in the past, and you have nothi
