The clapper, who was already in front of the camera with the clapperboard, called “marker!” and slapped it shut.
“Action!” Marty called.
“You are already marked as my woman” Kenneth was putting on his trouser while Cassandra was sobbing.
“You maybe had my body, but you can’t have my heart ever again.” Cassandra said in between her sobs.
Kenneth sat beside her and held her chin up, Cassandra slapped Kenneth’s face.
He cupped Cassandra’s face forcefully and said “No, one can take you from me. You are already mine” He leaned to kiss her, but before his lips touched hers, Marty bellowed,
“Cut!” Marty was seething and wanted to grab Kenneth by the neck.
“Let’s have a break,” Marty said and took the script and he decided to remove all intimate scenes of Cassandra and Kenneth. He is going to talk to the screenwriter to make changes in the script.
Len gave Cassandra a robe and she put it on. “Thank you.” Cassandra said.
“You’re welcome!” Len said, smiling.
“You go, get dressed,” Len said.
“I can’t, I still have a scene to film.” Cassandra said.
“Alright, what do you want for a snack then? I’ll get it for you.” Len asked.
“No, I am fine, I can get it myself.” Cassandra said.
“Come on, don’t be shy.” Len grinned.
“I’m not shy” Cassandra chuckled, Len rolled her eyes on her.
“Okay, fine. Get me any snack, I’m not a picky eater” she said while laughing.
Marty looked at Cassandra when he heard her laugh. He was relieved that she is no longer sad. Len came back with Cassandra’s snack and they ate together.
While the rest were having their snack, Marty watched the scene that had been filmed and he was satisfied with it. Cassandra’s acting was natural, it’s because that’s her real reaction towards a man touching her. She panics and feels disgusted. Even Kenneth’s facial expression and acting were natural because he has taken a fancy on Cassandra.
Marty gazed at Cassandra and she was happy talking with Len. He stood up to approach her, but went against the idea. So he went to get a snack, instead and just silently watched Cassandra during the break.
Afterwards, they resumed filming. They had finished the whole scene of Cassandra and Kenneth exactly at 12 noon. Cassandra went to the dressing room and got dressed. She wore a black skinny jeans and a button down shirt.
As they were in the queue for lunch, Len whispered in Cassandra’s ears.
“You look hot in your outfit,” Len said to Cassandra.
“Oh, really?” Cassandra raised an eyebrow.
“Believe me, I see men drooling now.” Len laughed out loud, Cassandra just shook her head.
“What are you laughing at?” Marty said in a low voice, both Len and Cassandra turned their heads to him.
Cassandra was speechless, her eyes were wide as a saucer. On the other hand, Len chuckled.
“Sir, I said to Cassandra that the men were og ----” Cassandra put her hand over Len’s mouth.
Marty’s brow’s furrowed, “Let her finish what she’s saying to me, Cassandra.” Cassandra took off her hand from Len’s mouth.
“Sir, I said Cassandra looked hot and that I saw lots of men were drooling seeing her.” Cassandra’s face turned red like a ripe tomato.
Marty couldn’t agree more with Len’s statement, Cassandra is really a hot woman.
‘She’s cute when blushing’ Marty told himself while he wore a stoic facial expression concealing his amusement.
“You are just making up a story” Cassandra glared at Len, but Len still chuckled trying to piss her off.
“No, I didn't,” Len said while chuckling, Cassandra rolled her eyes on Len.
Marty silently enjoyed the bantering between Cassandra and Len.
“Whatever!” Cassandra pouted, gesturing that she was already annoyed and turned to walk away.
“Alright!” Len blocked Cassandra’s way.
“I won’t do it again,” she said, smiling at Cassandra.
“I won’t believe you.” Cassandra said, her eyes were misty.
“Promise, I won’t do it again.” Len raised her hand like taking an oath.
“Alright, but if you do that again, I am not going to talk to you anymore.” Cassandra warned Len.
“Seriously?” Len asked.
“I’m dead serious” Cassandra feigns a stern face, but Len senses that she is just pretending to be stern toward her.
Marty, who was next to them in the queue, closely observed Cassandra, studying her personality.
“Okay” Len said and shrugged.
Cassandra’s phone rang and she fished out her phone from her pocket. She looked at her phone screen and it’s Graham, who was calling.
“Hi, Graham!” Cassandra answered. A hint of excitement was heard in her voice.
Marty, who wasn’t fond of eavesdropping, suddenly had the urge to listen to Cassandra’s phone conversation when he heard her say a male’s name.
“Hi, sweetie, did you miss me?” Graham said on the other end of the line.
“Of course not, why will I miss you? Cassandra chuckled.
“Ouch! You’re so cruel, you hurt me!’ Graham feigned being hurt.
“It’s just a joke,” Cassandra giggled. “When are you coming back?” Cassandra asked.
“I’m already back” Graham said
“Really!?” she exclaimed happily.
“Yup!
"I will come visit you there, is that alright with you? ” Graham asked.
“Sure!” Cassandra answered, her eyes were twinkling.
Cassandra was elated to see her friend again. Graham Solis is an aesthetic dermatologist, he owns one of the most prestigious dermatology clinics in the country. He has been Cassandra's suitor for three years now, she turned him down several times because she sees him only as a friend, even so, Graham was still persistent.
“See you soon, I will hang up the phone now as we are going to have lunch. Don’t forget to eat your lunch. ”
“Yup, bye. I love you. ” Graham said.
“Hahaha, you already know my reply to that. Bye! ” She laughed, Marty furrowed his eyebrows, he can’t explain why his heart was restless and why he is interested in Cassandra. He only saw her today, but he can’t stop himself from glancing at her and thinking about her and how to help her escape the intimate scenes she dreads to play.
He can’t understand why she has so much power over him wherein no woman had power over him even his current girlfriend.
‘Did I fall head over heels? ’ A question he dreads to answer. He shook his head to dismiss the idea.
‘I don’t suppose’ he thought.
"Love is in the air" Len quibbled with Cassandra. “There you are again” Cassandra puts back the phone in her pocket. “I heard him say the 143” Len chuckled, Cassandra rolled her eyes on Len. “What did you mean when you said ‘You already know my reply to that’” Len raised an eyebrow, Cassandra pursed her lips. “Is that 143 too?” she asked curiously. “Hey, don’t be nosy.” Cassandra chided her, Len wasn’t bothered at all and laughed. “It’s our turn to get our food, let’s go.” she pulled Len towards the buffet table, intending to distract Len from inquiring further. On the other hand, Marty was unsettled when he heard Len teased Cassandra about the 143 (I love you) that Graham said over the phone. "Well, she's got a boyfriend." He clenched his teeth. He was agitated by the myriad of emotions he was feeling today. ‘I have to put a stop to this, I can’t have her that power over
Everybody could hear the exasperated tone of Marty, so they focused. They did 5 retakes before Marty finally got satisfied. He called for another break. "We'll take a 15-minute break, and then we'll start over for the next one." He rose from his chair and made his way towards the corner where refreshments were served. While Marty was on his way to get something to eat, he heard Cassandra and Graham talking. He just stopped to find out what they were talking about. "I'm sorry, I have to leave because I have an urgent business to attend to" Graham was holding Cassandra's hand as he was talking. "I thought you were going to take me out for ramen." Cassandra pouted. "That was the plan, but..." Cassand
"Thanks for the ride, Sir Marty." said Cassandra as she unbuckled her belt. "Make no mention of it!" Marty popped out his seat belt and he turned the car key anti - clockwise and came out of the car. He subsequently tookCassandra's luggage from the rear passenger seat. Cassandra wondered why Marty had turned the car off. Walking towards Marty, her heart is beating wildly, she can’t decipher what Marty is up to. She reached out and took her luggage from Marty, but he took it away. Cassandra looked at Marty inquisitively with her brows furrowed. “Won’t you ask me for a coffee? I like the coffee you made for me. ” Marty smiled. His smile was that of the sunlight that spread across the clouds and his eyes seemed to contain all the stars of the galaxy. Cassandra’s heart fluttered looking at Marty’s handsome and charming face. But she kept her demeanor calm because she didn't want him to know what he was doing to her.&n
Going out of her apartment’s gate, Cassandra’s eyebrows furrowed at the sight of a luxury car in front of her apartment. Seeing Marty get off the car, Cassandra's feet were glued to the ground. Martywalked towards Cassandra, and took her small luggage. Cassandra was left with no choice but to get in the car. Unsure what to say, Cassandra remained silent throughout the journey. Cassandra was thinking if Marty was really there to pick her up or if it just so happened that he passed by. Her heart is beating so fast as if she did a 500-meter sprint. Marty, on the other hand, kept glancing at her in the rearview mirror. He is content to be with her. She was the onlywoman who mattered to him. As they neared the film set, Cassandra spoke, “Sir Marty, please drop me off here. I'll take a walk from here. ” Her voice was soft. Marty stopped the car, and Cassandra grabbed her luggage out of the back seat.
Cassandra bowed her head and remained silent, she was at loss how to answer Marty’s questionMarty felt a sting in his heart, he couldn’t care less what others think about him. However, in Cassandra’s case he didn’t want her to see him as the infamous Casanova of the film industry.“I am waiting for your answer, Cassandra.” Marty wanted to hear what’s in her mind.“I don’t know how to answer your question, Sir Marty.” Cassandra’s voice quavered.“Look at me” Marty held her chin up.Cassandra felt waves of electricity pass through her body as Marty touched her. This feeling was new to her, she didn’t feel this way every
As they were heading toward his car, Marty could not help but smile as he remembered the softness of Cassandra's lips. The sweet taste of her mouth still lingers. Their bodies fit together as though they’re made for each other.At this point, Marty already admitted to himself that he fell head over heels for Cassandra. A while ago when he held Alexia’s waist, he felt disgusted. He even couldn’t bring himself to kiss Alexia.While on their way to the restaurant, the scene while back kept on flashing in her mind. She felt her face flush and a tingling sensation blanketed her body.No matter how much she tries to take it out of her mind, it keeps popping out. For the first time, she felt no disgust about the kiss. As opposed to kissing her co-actors during the shoot, she wanted
Alexia answered the door as soon as she heard the doorbell chime. Marty promised to her that he will come to her condo after he finishes his business. After taking Cassandra home, he headed to Alexia’s condominium. Marty went in, Alexia hugged Marty’s neck the moment the door closed. “Babe, I missed you.” It’s been 3 months since Marty came to see her. While hugging his neck, Alexa tiptoed to kiss Marty, but he dodges. Alexia got hurt when Marty steered clear of her. Marty removed her hand that was wrapped about his neck and walked into the floor to ceiling window. “Babe, what’s the matter with you?” Alexia followed him and hugged his waist. Marty removed her hand from his waist and turned t
Pleased to hear Cassandra call him by his first name, Marty could not help smiling from ear to ear. Seeing Marty, smiling at her like that makes Cassandra weak - kneed. She could hear her heart pounding wildly. "Why are you here?" Cassandra was baffled why he came at such an hour. “Won’t you invite me in?” Marty’s bright face instantaneously changed into gloom upon hearing her question. Cassandra is debating with herself whether to ask him to come in or chase him away. However, seeing his glum expression, she opened the door wide for Marty to come in. “Have a seat while I make coffee for you.” Cassandra said while closing the door.
