Chapter 61: Chapter 61

MariGold's POV

“hey, how about we go on a first date as a couple on Wednesday” he stated

“to where?” I asked

“do you wanna go swimming with me? On a beach. I can make it a private beach if you want” he said

“would there be sea food?” I asked

“lots of 'em” he replied and I nodded

“then let's go” I said

“great... Aren't you thirsty?” he asked as he took one can of Pepsi

“yeah” I simply replied and took the second can

Will

I ruffled my hair as I waited for my manager to pick up. I wanted to ask the details of the sudden swap from Eduardo to me in that Hollywood movie

yo Willie congratulations man!

I frowned

how in the world was I chosen to play that part?

why do you sound more like anger compared to joy

just tell me how I got the part please

well you know they were looking for a Filipino to act that part. Actually Eduardo auditioned for it and got the part but changes were made to the character and they needed someone feeble and sweet. Eduardo doesn't fit in at all

I groaned

you haven't answered my question

okay. I quickly vouched in for you and luckily they saw that you fitted in and they gave you the part.

I want to decline

WHAT? WHY?

How I'm I going to face Eduardo? Come on, it's sick.

you and Eduardo have separate lives to live. You can't ruin yours just to please him. Do you know how this role is going to boost your career? Will you can't loose this. This is like the biggest thing in your life so far

but...

no buts... I'll see you tomorrow

He hung up and I sighed in distress

I don't like the way things are going. Plus Eduardo's sudden change of character from bad to worse

I sat down on my sofa in my room and wondered how to face my so called friend. It's not gonna be easy but I just have to accept this role

Mari

I was taking a walk on Tuesday evening with Goldie when I noticed a billboard with Will's picture on it. I stopped and stared at it then smiled.

“that's my boyfriend right there” I said to Goldie

I chuckled and looked at the billboard again

“he's cute, isn't he?” a girl chewing a pink gum asked beside me. She was just looking at the billboard and blowing big bubbles

“uhm, yeah he is” I answered

“you know I once met him. At my father's studio. He's really nice” she said and faced me. She blew a very big bubble and busted it then began chewing again

“oh really? When was that?” I asked

“yesterday. We got along really well. He said he was still single and I exchanged numbers with him. I'm gonna call him tonight” she smirked at me like she just beat me to a maths test

“he said he's single?” I asked

“yeah, what? You want his number?” she asked and chuckled

“no... I'm actually going now. Bye” I said and began to walk away. The girl ran after me

“hey, can we be friends? Let's talk some other time” she said and I stopped a taxi

“it was nice meeting you” I said and I entered the taxi then it drove off
