Embarrassment Overlays around me as soon as I jerk his hand away. He seems confused a little and everyone takes a pause to understand what just happened. I can't be more embarrassed so, I run inside the makeup room to hide my discomposure. Renie comes behind me.

"What happened Lydia? Why you left? Is something wrong?" she questions.

"I...." get stuck. I actually have nothing to say. I don't know why I shouted at him although a bit of pain is still there on my waist. But shouting was a bad idea and leaving the shoot was even worse.

"I actually..." I get stuck again. What to explain her?

"It's okay. I get it. It happens mostly in the beginning, proximity and all...you're new with these right?" she says.

What? She thinks I was susceptible because of the closeness with Ian. Well may be I was but... I don't know. I am confused.

"Are you okay? Do you wanna go outside now?" she is being very caring which makes me feel more guilty.

I don't wanna cause any more problem here so, I nod in yes to assure her I am ready to resume.

When I go back, Ian is still there sitting on the chair. As soon as he sees me his eyes blaze (rage I assume) and he stands from the chair. I take steps close to him, I want to say sorry, but he storms out of the place promptly.

A Week later,

I am at production office. I said sorry to almost every crew as the photo shoot got halted since Ian left the scene. Nobody talked about this incident the whole week and I haven't seen him since then. I come here almost regularly for practicing my line like today. But it's mostly difficult for me to practice duet scenes alone since Ian is MIA for the whole week.

At this moment, I am sitting alone in a corner room struggling with my lines. All of a sudden I feel that familiar leather scent around me and notice it's Ian, enters the room and sits the next chair to me.

"Hey". Ian says. His voice is so sweet when he talks softly but is he talking to me? I want to believe he is.

Being uncertain, I move my gaze upward a little from the paper I have in my hand then down again.

"So, you don't want to talk to me.right?" He says again.

What? he is talking to me? But why is he being sweet and wants to talk to me now when he never spoke before. And after last week drama.....!!

"Are you talking to me?" I say confusingly.

"Yes. Who else is here in this room?" he is grinning as if I amuse him.

"No one." I look around. "But why are talking to me now when you never did before?" I couldn't control my curiosity.

"Yeah... I didn't but that doesn't mean I will never. You never spoke to me either"

"That's because you hate me" I snap

"What?" he laughs. "Who said I hate you?" still laughs.

"You...I mean your behavior said so." my voice is low.

"Okay, just because I stormed out of the shoot you thought I hate you? I was kinda mad because you yelled at me in front of all"

"But you started..."

"Get it, I am sorry. Now can we not talk about the shoot?" he starts before I finish.

"Hmm." I smile and again look back to the papers.

"What? And what are reading so carefully?" he snatches the papers from my hand and starts looking. He seems in an amazing mood today, beaming, talking to me nonstop and his voice sounds melodious than everything. I like his this version.

"So, you were memorizing lines. It doesn't work like that. We do it differently like..." He turns his chair around to face me and holds both of my wrists.
My lips part in surprise. Where is the epitome of rudeness and what is he doing? I look into his eyes. How beautiful his eyes are. He looks in my eyes too and this time his eyes are soft and bluer than usual. We stay like this for minutes I guess.

"Do you hate me?" Ian says which makes me more startled.
