Bas' POV

I stood by the curbside across the pharmacy waiting for an empty taxi to pass by.

Oh, wait, that's P'Josh's car coming my way.  Is he gonna stop to offer me a ride?  I wouldn't mind accepting an offer.  It's rush hour and it might take me a while to come across an empty cab.

Hey! Did he just ignore me?  Unless he didn't see me then that's fine.  Fortunately, I didn't have to wait too long after P'Josh's car passed me by so I was able to get back home without too much delay.

My mom and I had a hard time convincing my little sister that her medicine was good for her and that she had to take it.  Otherwise the rest of the night was uneventful.

Josh's POV

Shit, I hope Bas  didn't notice my car passing him by without stopping.  I didn't want him to think that I was being rude but at the same time it would be too painful for me to feel his nearness, plus it would only serve to delay my goal of forgetting him altogether.

Traffic was slow because it was rush hour but I managed to drop off my manager's antibiotic pills without too much hardship.  Before I left his apartment he informed me that I and some other actors had been scheduled to model some beachwear the following day.  

Since he was still down with his respiratory infection, he told me to meet up with his assistant manager outside his office building.  The assistant manager was going to drive me and the other models in a van to the shooting location.  We had to start off early the following day because the beach where we were going to have the promo shoot was a good two and a half hours drive from the city.

I asked if it was only me and the other models working under the same agency who were going to do the promo shoot.  He said no, and my heart sank, expecting him to name Bas' agency.  To my great relief, he named another agency so I told him that I would be at the office to meet with his assistant manager at the appointed time.

Bas' POV

The following morning, I texted a good morning greeting to P'Gxxod.  He was either still asleep or was having an early morning filming because he did not text me back.

Well, any further communication had to wait because I had my own promo shoot to make with P'Kim and the rest of the gang, and some other actors.  It was going to be more exciting than our previous promo shoots because the location was going to be at a beach resort.  We were going to be modelling a new line of beachwear.  We were all going to converge in front of our manager's office and we were going to ride  in the company van to get to the beach.

Actually, we had been lucky to land this assignment because a different group of actors who were supposed to get this assignment had to back out at the last minute because of a conflict in their work schedule.

When we got there, the other models were already there. I saw that P'Josh was one of them but his presence did not alarm me like before because he seemed to be chill the last time that I saw him.

In fact in our previous shoot we were supposed to be working together but I saw him talking to his manager and then he suddenly disappeared.  I had been expecting him to come up to me and chat with me but his manager announced that he had to leave because he wasn't feeling well.

When P'Josh saw us approaching, his face looked puzzled as if he wasn't expecting us.  He walked over to his manager or some other manager I hadn't seen before and was talking to him so we just walked over to the other members of his group to chat while waiting for the camera men to arrive with their equipment.

When it was time to do the shoot we were all focused on making the best poses for the camera.  I couldn't wait to tell P'Gxxod all about it.  I knew that he would have looked really good modelling the beachwear.

We were all clowning around during the shoot and during the break so it was more fun than work.  We had lots of fun just alternately swimming or splashing water in each other's faces. I was wondering what important topic P'Josh was discussing with his manager because he never joined us during the break.  Or perhaps he didn't want his skin to get too much tanned.
