What Lies Between Us

Chapter 5

Lory's POV:

"Wow! I really admired your hardwork, Lory. You did it before the due date yet it's perfect."

Namamanghang sabi ng boss namin at itong producer naman namin pumapalakpak pa sa tuwa. Natapos 'ko na rin sa wakas iyong script at talagang pinag pursigihan 'ko iyong matapos ng maaga para hindi na sila magkaroon ng oras para humanap ng ipapalit kay Theon.

I heard they are looking for another director for this film and they are all serious about it. Kumakalat na rin iyon sa buong team and I know Theon already heard about this and I won't let it happen, alam 'ko na mahalaga kay Theon ang trabaho niya and besides I only want to work with him, I want to be with him whenever or wherever I go.

Mas ginaganahan ako mag trabaho and at the same time, I could spend more time with Theon. Film industry is such a good break for me and Theon. Imagine, kapag kailangan naming mag shooting sa isang beach, mag kasama kaming pupunta roon with whole team at siyempre I won't waste any time and grab all the opportunities to make him fall in love with me.

"So...Kailan tayo mag sisimula sa filming?"

I asked then they both stared at me and unsure what would they say. Ok, I'm not that stupid. I know they are not going to start this project unless they found a new director but I don't want to work with any director, except him. Theon only.

"Those pictures are fake. Don't believe on that."

I can't keep my mouth shut if it's about Theon. I always want to do the best for him. Kaya kahit alam 'ko na totoo iyong mga kumalat na litrato, pagtatakpan at pagtatakpan 'ko siya sa abot ng makakaya 'ko.

"Lory, you know it's not about how true or not it is. It's about his image, the issue that spread to the netizen. Kung magpapatuloy iyon, hihilahin din noon ang lahat ng projects na hahawakan ni Theon at malaki amg chance na pati sponsor, mawalan din tayo."

"He was not an actor, we are working behind the scenes."

Pagpupumilit 'ko sa kaniya na kinahilot nito sa sintido. Alam 'ko na walang punto ang naging sagot 'ko sa kaniya dahil simula pa lang alam 'ko namang hindi lang mga artista ang inalagaan ang image, kasama rito ang buong team.

"You are insisting things that you already know, Lory."

I chewed my lower lip and muttered the word sorry. I feel ashamed with myself but yeah, I want to do this for him.

"If that issue fades as soon as possible, will we start?"

Napatingin pa sila sa akin ng seryoso bago inilatag ni madam Elen ang likod niya sa may bangko and instead of answering my question she shoot me a question that I already expected.

"Is he really a gay?"

"Of course not! He's a real man. They just want to ruin his image 'cause he belongs to El Juedo Clan but believe me it's a fake news."

No one knows that he's a gay, iilan lang kaming nakakaalam na juding talaga si Theon at kapag nadudulas ang kalandian niya in public, ako itong taga salo like I was acting like a real girlfriend.

I do really care about him, maraming mata kasi ang mapang husga when it comes to LGBT family and I don't want him to be hurt and to be criticized and when it comes to our work, alam 'ko na mas maraming kritisismo ang pwedeng mag abang sa kaniya. He was a well known director and if that issue scattered all over this industry, it will be the downfall of his career.

"Madam.."

The door creaked open and a got inside the office. He walks towards madam Helen and handed the white folder.

She was busy scanning the documents before she gave me a look. Oh well, base on her reaction mukhang hindi ako binigo ni Styx para linisin ang kalat na ginawa ni fafa Theon my loves 'ko. So that means, I can still work woth him on this project. Hindi 'ko tuloy mapigilan ang kiligin sa sobrang tuwa.

Imagine we will stand on the seashore and wait for the sunset. Oh my gahd! That's so romantic! Buti na lang talaga nilagay 'ko sa script iyong beach na setting so I would have a sweet and romantic moment with Theon. Kinikilig ako pag na iisip 'ko pa lang ang holding hands namin doon.

"Ok, we'll start next week. You can talk to the whole team and plan how to start it."

Nakangiting sabi ni madam Elen amd I generously smiled at her. Finally! This will be so exciting.

Lagi kaming mag kasama but you know it feels like it was always the first tie, the first day we met.

So kilig talaga ako at hindi 'ko na pigilan ang mapatalon talon habang nag lalakad. I don't care what would other think but I'm so excited to tell him tbat we're going on the same project, that he don't need to worry about losing this film.

"My loves so sweet where are you? Hihi!"

Kinikilig pa akong dumungaw sa may table niya and I found him smiling while staring at his phone.

"I have a good news."

Ai pak! Ganern? Deadma ang beauty 'ko dahil busy siya sa pag se-cellphone?

"Labidabs! Yoooohhoooo! May good news ako!"

I lean closer to him and why so handsome? Gusto 'ko na atang maihi sa salawal sa sobrang kagwapuhan ni Theon and damn! His lips are so red and I want to r****h it with mine.

"Ahihihi.. Look Lory, dakis ang etits oh. Yummmy!"

Bigla akong napaatras na kulang na lang ay matumba at mapa upo ako sa sahig ng ipakita sa akin ni Theon iyong pinapanood niya.

Napakahalay talaga niya. He was watching a p**n inside our office at doon 'ko lang napansin na naka wireless headset pala ito.

"Gahd! Theon! Mahiya ka naman. Nanonood ka talaga ng p**n? during office hours?"

And what really shock me, it is not a p**n between a man and a woman, of course it was man to man s*x video. Like! I can't take it... I can't breathe.. My family never let me watch things like that, iyong fifty shades of grey nga noon may ticket na ako pero pinunit pa ni Kuya at todo sermon ang inabot 'ko sa kaniya na kahit sila mom and dad ay nag sermon kahit 'di naman linggo.

"Ano ka ba Lory, naka headset naman ako. Tiyaka tignan mo busy rin sila sa kung saan saan. Kaya 'wag kang KJ."

"You're so eeewwwwwy! Umamin ka nga sa akin. D-Did you.. Did you do that?"

Shit! I hope he never slept with any man. Hindi 'ko matatanggap na I reserved my virginity for him pero siya, may naka una na sa kaniya. I can't.. I can't accept it. It breaks my heart.

"Gaga! Bahala ka nga diyan. Gogora pa akis with mah' pwends."

"Pero we need to celebrate. We have a new project to work together. Aren't you excited?"

Gosh! We always celebrate, I always ask him out kapag may ganitong bagong movie kaming pag sasamahan.

"Lory, nag text na si Shamcey. Gogorabells kami and besides lagi naman tayo mag kasama so no need to celebrate. Bruha ka talaga. Uuwian na lang kita ng pizza mamaya."

Maarteng sabi nito habang nililigpit iyong mga gamit niya. I sat on his table and pout my lips.

"But I want it now amd we have a meeting."

I said as stomped my feet on the other side of his chair and he rolled his eyes.

"Later na lang, Lory. Balitaan mo na lang ako sa mapag uusapan sa meeting. Nandito ka naman eh."

Sabi nito ng makatayo na siya at akmang aalis na ng hawakan 'ko ang sleeve ng polo niya.

"Theon.. sama na lang ako. Promise! Hindi ako magkukulit. Behave lang ako sa tabi mo para masigurado 'ko na you won't take anyma--anyone on your side."

I said and he sweetly smiled at me while leaning closer to my face. s**t! If you saw my beain walking please pick it up and returned it to me later.

I lost my sanity as I take his fresh breathe to mine. Gosh! It was so fresh but sweet and my heart got a rally inside.

"You can't, sweet Lory. Just wait for me at home..." He softly said and I feel my cheeks turns into red as he place his lips to my cheeks.

"Ingat sa pag uwi. Balitaan mo na lang ako mamaya. Bye!"

Para akong nakalutang sa kalangitan at ang puso 'ko ayaw tumigil sa pag kalabog. He called me sweet Lory and he want me to wait in our home. Oh my gahd!

I can figure our life in the future, we will have kids running i side the house while I was the one who's cooking for us and he's hugging me from my back while kissing my cheeks and he would say I love you. Gosh! I wanna die with so much happiness. I really want to fly in heaven right now and cherish his sweet words and love eternally.

"Huy Lory!"

"H-huh? S-Si Theon?" Nagulat pa ako ng tapikin ni Mars ang balikat 'ko.

"Wala na. Kanina pa nakaalis, nanaginip ka na naman kasi ng gising."

Mapang inis nitong sabi na kinasibangot 'ko ng mawala na nga si Theon sa paningin 'ko.

Nakakainis! Paano namin sisimulan ang oh so sweet naming love story kung palagi niya na lang dinedeadma ang beauty 'ko.

Am I not that attractive? Gosh! I already seduced him. Kulang na nga lang ay literal na gahasahin 'ko si Theon mapansin niya lang ang nag e-exist 'kong kagandahan at pag mamahal para sa kaniya but he seems not interested and he always built a bar between us.
