Sebastian looked at Zeya who was sleeping as he drove. He smiled and muttered, ''idiot''

''Mm?'' Zeya heard subtly and turned. She opened her eyes and looked at him. ''Who are you insulting?''

''Someone who is clueless''

''Who?'' Zeya looked out of the window, ''oh, we are already at my neighbourhood''

Sebastian drove inside the block of villas. He pulled over in front of Zeya's villa and got down with her.

''Thank you for bringing me here''

''Mm, this villa next to yours. Does it belong to someone?''

''I think it belongs to the owner's son who is outside the country''

''I see. Go inside''

''Sebastian, do you want a cup of coffee?'' Zeya flushed after asking, ''I… I don't mean anything. I just feel that you might need a cup of coffee to keep you awake while you drive. I also have some questions to ask about the script''

''A cup of coffee will be fine'' Sebastian replied and started walking towards her villa.

Zeya smiled and followed him.

….

Zeya placed a mug of coffee on the table and sat across Sebastian with her own mug. She sipped it and wrapped her fingers around the mug shyly.

''You make decent coffee'' Sebastian complimented her after he sipped the coffee.

''Thank you''

''What did you want to discuss about in the script?''

''Well, you know… tomorrow we will be filming our first ki… kiss scene. I wanted to know your thoughts''

''Do you usually ask your male counterparts what their thoughts are on kiss scenes?''

''No, I usually opt for light kissing or a perk on the lips. Sometimes, I just touch the person's lips and the angle gets tilted. But I don't know what you would prefer since it is going to be a deep kiss scene. I don't want things to get awkward afterwards''

'Why would it get awkward? We are just acting''

''Right, I almost forgot that. it was a silly question to begin with''

''It is not. You were just communicating what you preferred. So, tell me what you think about the kiss scene?''

Zeya's face became red. She took a sip of the coffee and looked away. ''I… I don't really have any preferences. Whatever you want, then we will do that''

''What if I want a kiss?''

''Huh?''

''You just said we should do it according to what I wanted. What if I want us to really kiss on the scene? You've been saving your first kiss and didn't even allow Lucas to cross the line with you. You haven't allowed your male counterparts to kiss you because you feel that they would be stealing your first kiss away. What will you do if I want us to kiss on set according to the script? I would be stealing your first kiss''

''I… you just said we were acting. So, it wouldn't matter, right?''

''You won't ask me to take responsibility?''

''Huh?''

Sebastian chuckled and stood up. ''I'm warning you Zeya. Think carefully about tomorrow's scene and tell me your thoughts. I mean you honest thoughts. I don't want you to end up regretting or crossing the line with me. whether on set or in real life. I might not look like it but I tend to take my relationship with people seriously. Whether it is a friendship, open or personal connection that I have''

''I will see you tomorrow'' Sebastian played with her hair before going out''

Zeya walked to the door and bowed before closing it. She ran to the window and watched Sebastian as he got into his car and drove away.

''Aye, what is wrong with you, Zeya? Why did you have to say such words?'' she ran inside her room and picked her phone.

….

Alice was preparing to sleep when her phone started ringing. She walked to the table and picked the phone up.

''Hello, girlfriend. Did you get home safely?''

''Aye, Alice what do I do? I made a big mistake'' Zeya laid on her bed and rolled from side to side.

''What did you do?'' Alice sat on the bed and looked at Josh who had just walked out of the bathroom.

''I crossed the line with Sebastian. I think he is angry with me''

''You crossed the line? What happened to our polite Zeya who is always careful? Did the beast side of you suddenly awaken when Sebastian sent you home? You silly girl, I was wondering until when you will admit you have fallen for him''

''Aye, in any case, I feel like asking for a sick leave tomorrow. I don't know how to face him''

''Tell me, what exactly did you do? Uhh, Zeya, you didn't jump on him or anything like that, right?'' Alice laughed and laid on her back.

''No. What kind of person do you take me for?''

''Then, tell me what happened. if you don't tell me, how do I offer my advice?''

''Okay''

Alice stood up and started walking around the bedroom as she listened to Zeya's talk. When the latter finished speaking, Alice laughed again.

''So, you asked him if he wanted to kiss you or not? Zeya, I didn't know you were so straightforward like that?''

''I just wanted to see if he was comfortable kissing me or not, but it seemed to have made him sad. Tell me, what should I do tomorrow when he asks me?''

''Be thick-skinned. You made your bed, might as well lay in it. If he asks you what you want, just own up to it and tell him you don't mind being kissed by him? But… I think I am going to have a full day watching both of you. I can't wait for tomorrow''

''I'm hanging up, goodnight''

Alice chuckled as she looked at the phone. She turned to Josh who was already on the bed and spoke.

''Zeya is so cute. She just gave me something to look forward to tomorrow''

''You want to watch others kiss so much?''

''It will be fun teasing Zeya about it later on. but, all of that don't mean anything when it comes to your kisses'' Alice said and kissed Josh.

….

''Goodnight'' Niania said to the driver and turned towards her apartment.

''I didn't know you were such a hard worker? Look at the time you are coming home?''

''Mr. Sun?'' Niania stopped and looked at him.

'Why did you close so late?''

''We had late night shooting. What are you doing here?''

''Why do you keep asking me the same question every time? Aren't you tired?''

Niania flushed and smiled, ''sorry. I am just not used to having you no matter the number of times you come to see me. Let's go inside, it's cold here''

''Mm'' Thomas walked behind her.

When they entered, Niania placed her bag on the table and went to open the fridge. ''I ran out of coffee beans, you don't mind having warm milk right?''

''Just give me water''

''Water, are you sure?''

''Yes''

''Okay'' Niania put the paper milk back and removed a bottle of water. She went to the hall and gave it to him before going to her bed side. She picked pair of loungewear and went inside the bathroom to change.

Thomas drunk half of the water and stood up. he walked to the window side and looked outside. It was drizzling a bit.

''They said it wasn't going to rain but it's about to rain. These reporters are just fraudsters'' he muttered.

''Oh, it's raining'' Niania said and Thomas turned to look at her. She had removed her makeup and cleaned her face, leaving it bare. Niania touched her face shyly and asked.

''Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?''

Thomas smiled and shook his head saying, ''your face looks better without makeup''

''That's not true. Makeup enhances a woman's beauty'' Niania walked to the window and stood next to him.

''I used to hate rainy days. When it rains along with thunder and lightning, I am always scared. but, having you here, I am not scared anymore. This must be the reason why my classmates praise their boyfriends. They always say that when you have a boyfriend, you don't need to watch horror movies alone. Because with him around, you can just cling unto him when it gets scary''

''It's that why you always watched horror movies with that your neighbour? Did you have a crush on him?''

''No. To me he was just a brother. The brother I never had, but that's all it is and will ever be''

''But, he doesn't think that way. He clearly likes you. how could you be so blind to that?''

''I am not blind. I just don't know how to react to it. The opposite sex having feelings for me is something new. I have never had someone express interest in me before so I find it a little awkward dealing with such things. I don't have any experience in such things. I know he has feelings for me but I don't know how to deal with that. It's the same way that I don't know how to deal with this new development. You are not really hard to figure out but I don't know how to deal with you''
