Janella moved and pulled the covers up on her neck dahilan upang magdahan dahan si Jane sa pagpasok. It's already ten o'clock at katatapos lang ng shoot niya na nagsimula kaninang alas kwatro ng madaling araw.

Tahimik siyang lumuhod at pinagmasdan ang dalagang mapayapang natutulog. Hindi niya alam kung anong oras na ba ito tumabi sa kanya kagabi because when her body hits the bed, she immediately fell asleep.

Jane smile at the beautiful view, Jea without make up and her relaxed facial features is her new favorite sight "Are you done starring?" the woman asked in her bedroom voice causing the other one to stand up and look away

"H-Hindi kita tinitignan!" Jane denied and walk to her carrier

"Really?" She questioned in a playful manner

Jane nodded and spun around ready to state her defenses "Pinatatawag ka kasi-" her words faded when she saw the heavenly beauty sitting on the bed wearing her spaghetti strap top paired with her white pajama "B-Bakit ganyan na ang suot mo?"

Janella pulled the fallen thin strap on her shoulder "Mainit kasi kagabi kaya tinangal ko yung T-shirt"

"Ah" Yon nalamang ang tanging nabigkas ni Jane bago niya talikuran ang dalaga "Anong oras nagstart ang shoot mo?" Jea asked ngunit hindi niya na ito nilingon dahil ramdam niya parin ang pamumula ng kanyang tenga at pisngi "Kaninang four" sagot niya at agad siyang tumayo nung mahanap niya ang clip para sa kanyang hair extension "Nga pala" She paused while holding the door handle "Pinagigising ka na rin pala ni direk, ishoshoot mo daw yung scenes mo with Sir Richard "

"Okay" Nakangiting tugon ng dalaga "Sabihin mo i'll be there in twenty minutes"

The shorter lady nodded and ready to leave the room

"Jane" The woman behind said causing the other one to look at her, the messy hair that adds on to her beauty, the bright ray of sunshine that seeps through the window causing her skin to glow and the playful look on her face. Jane doesn't know why but her heart is thumping and roaring to the point that she can hear it

"Hmm?"

"Your free to stare" She winked "But not too much"

After that Jane was left at the front door, dumbfounded by the playful remarks.

Five hours of shooting and releasing the emotions for her character, Janella felt drained and exhausted. Ngayon naman ay nakatambay at nagpapahinga siya sa harap ng vanity mirror para sa gagawing villain transformation ng storya.

Tahimik siyang nagbabasa ng kanyang script at bahagyang natatawa sa mga patutsyada ng kanyang linya sa mga nakaupo sa pwesto ng gobyerno but she was interrupted by two white steaming cups "Here" the two said in unison

"Nako Jane" Pabirong sabi ni Joshua habang ibinababa ang hawak niyang paper cup sa tabi ni Janella "Hindi Umiinom ng mga ganyang si Madam Jea" panimula niya while Janella gave him a lip tight smile "She stop drinking coffee and other colored beverages a year ago ang iniinom niya lang ay water and green tea"

"Ahh Ganon ba?" Jane replied confusedly habang si Janella ay tahimik na pinanunuod ang kanilang reflection sa Vanity Mirror

Joshua nodded firmly while the other one gave a light shrugged and said "Okay" kaya naman agad na kumunot ang noo ni Janella ng papaalis na ito pero mabuti nalang at maagap niyang hinila ang laylayan ng damit niya "Saan ka pupunta?"

"Umm iaalok ko yung hot choco sa iba?" Nagtatakang saad ni Jane

Umimik si Joshua at nagbigay ng suggestion "Ako nalang iinom"

"No" Janella immediately said then she clears her throat "I drink hot choco" she look away from Jane's piercing gaze before she added "Specific Hot choco" then she gently tug the shirt that she's holding and reach out for the steaming drink and take a small sip

"Kelan pa?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Joshua

"Two weeks ago" Ani ni Janella kaya't napalipat ang mga nagtatakang mata ni Joshua kay Jane pero isa nanamang kibit balikan ang sinagot niya at umupo nalang sa kanyang vanity mirror

"Jane!" Sigaw ng kanyang talent manager "Oh may nagpapadala sayo ng bulaklak! Langya naman kung magpapaligaw ka naman friend pagkain kamo ang ibigay anong gagawin natin jan!" Nakasimangot na pagrereklamo niya habang iniaabot ang bulaklak

Kumunot ang noo ni Jane ng makita ang bulaklak na ipinatong sa kanyang hita "Kanino daw galing?"

"Aba malay ko iniabot lang sakin yan nung lalamove driver!"

"Naks naman!" Pilyong sabi ni Joshua at lumapit sa kanyang tabi "May nagpaparamdam na agad trailer palang yung nilalabas natin! paano kaya kapag yung episode one na ang lumabas edi mas marami ng pipila?"

"Ewan ko sayo lumayo ka nga sakin naalibadbaran ako sayo!" Nagiinis inisan niyang tugon kay Joshua then she saw the eye roll coming from Janella as she venomously stare at the flower while sipping her hot choco kaya naman agad na niyang inihagis ang bulaklak papunta sa kanyang manager "Sayo nalang yan"

"Aba Darna anong gagawin ko dito? Anong tingin mo sakin nakain ng damo?" Tanong ni Jennie habang iwinawasiwas ang bulaklak

"Jea" Dumating na ang kanyang stylist na mukhang pagod na sa buhay "Jusko si direk konti nalang sasabunutan ko na!" She put down her make up bag at tska nilaklak ang green tea sa lamesa "Face make up daw muna tayo para sa first transformation mo yung snake scales na whole body sa episode thirty or forty na daw"

After ranting nagsimula nang kumilos ang kanyang stylist slash make up artist. Janella kept her eyes close while the stylist do her magic but Liza stop for a minute and jokingly said "Joshua baka naman matunaw tong minamakeupan ko hinay hinay sa pagtitig"

"Ang ganda kasi eh"

"Crush mo nanaman" Hindi na tumugon si Joshua at tumawa nalang ito.

Jane was watching the whole scene while frowning then her manager whisper "Grabe naman yung tingin mo kay Joshua beh! Selos yarn?"

Jane bites her tongue as she met Janella's eyes from the mirror then she replied to her manager "Alam mo minsan gusto kong sapakin si Joshua"

Napatigil ang manager niya sa paglagas at pagmurder ng bouquet na hawak niya "Huy love team kayo umayos ka! Bakit ba galit na galit ka?" Saglit na nanahimik ang kanyang manager bago nanlalaki ang mga matang tinignan si Jane "Oh my god! May gusto ka na kay Joshua no?"

"Wala"

"Ay talaga ba?"

"Wala promise, mamatay ka man sa kinauupuan mo"

Jennie rolled her eyes then she smirk "Eh kay Janella?"

"Ako tigil tigilan mo ko sa kagaganyan mo! Baka gusto mong matikman yang tinik ng rosas na hawak mo" Ani ni Jane at kinuha niya na ang kanyang EMT Polo para magpalit for the next scene "Teka di mo sinagot yung tanong ko!" habol na pangaasar ng kanyang manager kaya sinaraduhan niya na ito ng pinto

From eight pm till one thirty am hindi siya pinansin ni Jane kaya nanahimik na nakatitig sa kisame ng kwarto si Janella habang iniisip kung bakit hindi siya kinakausap ng dalaga.

Napabuntong hininga nalang siya at pinuno ang kanyang isipan ng mga bagay bagay na ipinagaalala niya, una na don ay ang hiwalayan nila ni Argus na inilihim niya sa harap media, pangalawa ay ang pamilyang gusto niyang ibigay sa kanyang anak at pangatlo si Jane na hindi niya maipaliwanag kung bakit napasama pa sa mga isipin niya.

Her mind continuosly overthink about her problems, gumilid siya ng higa hangang sa makatulog na siya but then after a few minutes ay naalimpungatan siya because she felt a dip at the other side of the bed, followed by a soft sigh.

Janella opened her eyes at pinakiramdaman ang kanyang katabi, she inhale deeply nang maramdaman niya ang paglapat at pagsisik ng dalaga kanyang likod, her small frame was firmly press on her while her face was buried on her back, Jane didn't hug her but she huddle herself at her back and gave a tingling warmth in her whole body.

"Good night Jea" Jane silently mumbled while Janella was about to answer but she felt her deep breathings and soft snore so she decided to kept her mouth shut.

It was a stressful day and focusing on Jane's breathing calms her down and allows her to fall asleep.
