Villaverde Brothers Series 2: Jilting the Fearless✓

Chapter Four

"Close your eyes," the make-up artist told me.

I quickly obeyed. Nilagyan niya ng eyeshadow ang magkabilang talukap ng mga mata ko. Hinayaan ko lang siyang gawin ang trabaho niya sa mukha ko at nang matapos siya'y napangiti ako.

Wala namang nagbago, maganda pa rin ako. Mas nadepina lang ng mga kolorete ang facial features ko.

May photoshoot ako ngayon para sa isang brand ng cosmetics kasama pa ang ibang models. Karamihan sa kanila ay hindi ko kilala pero ang iba naman ay nakikita ko rin.

They made sure that I'm wearing beautiful make-up but also made sure that it's just simple, almost natural.

Quite like a "no make-up" make-up look.

I don't really like wearing heavy make-ups because it irritates me, that's why my look for today is just good for me.

"Miss De Vega, let's start." The photographer approached me with a big smile.

I smiled at him too. "Kylei na lang, masyadong formal kapag surname basis." I chuckled a little.

"Ah! Sige po, Miss Kylei," aniya sa masayang tono, hindi pa rin nawawala ang paggalang doon.

He seems energetic. 'Yong tipong walang kapaguran. Lagi siyang nakangiti at kapag tumingin ka sa kaniya, mapapangiti ka na lang din bigla dahil hindi siya nakakailang tingnan.

There are some people that when you look at their eyes, you'll immediately look away because of the awkwardness, but there are also some that you'd smile when you look at them because of the light aura they give and they seem really nice.

"Thank you," I thanked him when he offered his hand to me.

Nakangiti akong tumayo. One last glance in the mirror, sumunod na rin ako sa kaniya. He set up his camera while I am at the platform. May isang high-chair sa gitna. Nang makita niya akong nahihirapan sa pag-upo kahit na matangkad ako dahil sa taas no'n, mabilis siyang dumalo at inalalayan ako.

He's really a gentleman and cute.

I uttered thank you again and smiled sweetly. He's not my type but I like his personality.

"Okay na po?" tanong niya nang makabalik siya sa harap ko.

Tumango ako sa kaniya. He gave a thumbs up and gazed at his camera. I started posing, serving my looks. Different face expressions; fierce, resting face, smile, pout. Everything that will look good on the cosmetics I wore.

"Look up po," suggest niya.

I don't know his name. Nakalimutan kong itanong. Maybe I'll just ask him later.

Masyadong magalang.

Sinunod ko ang sinabi niya. I looked up while slightly pouting my lips. After I heard the click of his camera, I turned serious as if I'm thinking while still looking up. My thumb is on my jaw, while my forefinger is on my cheeks.

A few more shots and we're done.

"Okay na po," anang photographer. "Mamaya po may group photo pa kayo pagkatapos nila."

"Drop the po na lang." Ngumiti ako. "By the way, what's your name?"

"Koen po," he answered shyly but eventually laughed when he noticed that he said "po" again.

Katunog pa ng pangalan niya 'yong pangalan ng last ex ko, but I don't have any issues with that.

I don't hold any grudge towards my exes. Understandable naman na no'ng mga panahon na iyon ay immature pa kami dahil mga bata pa.
