Jillyanna chose a white off-shoulder dress which was three inches above the knee. She paired it with a white sneakers and a white scarf was wrapped around her braid to give an accent to her hairstyle.
She put on some lip gloss and face powder to freshen up her look.
Her phone rang while she was preparing herself. Without checking who it was, she answered it directly, keeping it in between her face and shoulders.
"Jillyanna speaking." she greeted the caller while fixing the things she needed to bring for her work.
"Yna, this is Joven. We're on our way to the amusement park. We'll prepare everything for the video while waiting for you." Joven, her video editor and graphic designer, called her for their work.
"Thanks J. I will be there in a few minutes." Jillyanna responded while placing all her stuff into a big handbag. She checked herself on the mirror for the last time before running out of the house. "I'll be off to work! I'll let you know if I can come back for dinner." she dashed out of the house to get in to the garage, leaving her message to the people sitting at the living room.
"Be careful on the road!" Sky called out to her as a reminder.
Jillyanna stepped on the accelerator and maneuvered the car to her destination. She was going to film a surprise for her fans. Many celebrities thought that she was heartless and that she didn't really care about her fans. Since her debut anniversary was just around the corner, she'd release a song dedicated to her fans and the film was going to be at the amusement park.
Jillyanna arrived not long after and the filming team, led by Joven, had prepared everything. They have an idea as to where the shooting will be held and the kind of set up that they wanted to get. It wasn't much of a stress for Jillyanna at all.
"We'll start at the lake side." Joven informed her while taking a big hat for her. "I need you to stand there at the bridge. We'll let the wind blows and you try to keep the hat in place. I'll take as many pictures and videos as possible for us to choose. Your eyes must show the longing you have for someone."
"Yes. Yes. I'll do my best. Should I let down my hair?" Jillyanna asked while waiting for the make up artist to finish her look.
"No need." Joven answered while aiming his camera at her to get a better angle.
Jillyanna tried doing what Joven asked her to do and she managed to give him a satisfying result after five minutes. They continued their filming, this time Jillyanna was being filmed while walking around the park until she reached the ferris wheel area.
"Mommy, look at her. She's really pretty. She looks like a princess." a little girl whispered while pointing at Jillyanna, making her blushed from embarrassment.
"Yes. Big sis is beautiful. You should start eating healthy food as well to become pretty like her." the mother responded with a smile while trying to get her child to eat a sweet corn.
"Is she an actress? Is she filming?" a teen aged girl whispered to her friends.
"She looked so familiar, specially her eyes. I feel like I've seen those eyes before." another young girl stated but they didn't bother her since they saw the filming crew taking videos of her.
Jillyanna just smiled at them and looked up at the high ferris wheel. Since she was a child, she wanted to ride the ferris wheel but her mother was scared of heights so it never happened.
Suddenly, everything turned pitch black. A faint scent of mint drifted off to her nose. The scent was so familiar to her that she recognized him the moment he got closed to her.
"Would you like to ride the ferris wheel with me?" Travis whispered beside her ear. His hot breath fanning the side of her face making her felt itchy to beat him instead.
"I'd be happy if you stop covering my face." she answered softly. When Travis let go of her, she turned around to face him with her smiling eyes.
"Cut!" Joven called out which made them realize that they were in a middle of filming. "I like that gaze. I like the interaction. It would really be great if we could use that video."
"This is..." Travis was shocked and felt a little awkward for what happened. When he turned to face them, the director was even more shocked to know who it was.
"Are you guys planning to have a date? Can you guys do it after filming?" Joven asked, not willing to postpone the film and not willing to make enemy with the devil as well.
"Can I join this filming? What's this for? I can be a handsome partner." Travis offered himself, making Jillyanna laugh.
"It's fine. We can do this. I didn't know you're here already." Jillyanna responded while walking towards the crew. "This Travis. He's my..."
"...soon to be husband." Travis interrupted her which made her turn to face him abruptly.
"What husband are you talking about. Cut it out." Jillyanna rolled her eyes at him while trying to get back on track.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I can really work for you." Travis insisted to be part of her work.
"I don't have money to pay you." Jillyanna answered before getting two bottles of mineral water, giving him the extra one.
"You can pay me with a dinner date. How about that?" he whispered just enough for her to listen.
"Whatever."
"Jillyanna, we could really use him. He's got the quality we need in him. His body, vibe, expressions, everything!" Joven stated for her to understand his point.
"I can agree to that. A dinner date is fine as well." Jillyanna retorted before checking her dress and her make up.
"That's it. Let's get this done." Travis said excitedly but he had sent a message to Joven already.
DON'T LET HER KNOW WHO I AM.
Joven nodded his head towards Travis to acknowledge the message when Jillyanna wasn't looking at him. He pocketed his phone and instructed everyone to prepare for the next scene.
"So what would be my role in this?" Travis asked while Jillyanna was having some touch up with the make up artist.
Jillyanna had her eyes closed to prevent the powder in getting into her eyes but she still responded to him. "Just a regular date. No need for anything fancy or anything special."
"So, you are an actress?" Travis asked again since he didn't really know what's her work. Jillyanna once told him that she didn't want him to know what her work is.
"I am not an actress. I am just doing something for some personal use and to help Joven earn money." Jillyanna stated which was half true and half lie.
Joven who heard her words just smiled faintly. If Travis didn't want her to know who he was, it was the same for Jillyanna. In any case, she had been predicting that Travis would get tired of her sooner or later.
When everything was set, they resumed filming. This time, they started where they left off. Joven kept the last video where Travis popped out of nowhere giving a feeling of surprise.
He invited her for a ferris wheel ride where a romantic scene will be taken once they reached the peak of its cycle.
A cameraman came along with them to film. Joven was watching from the ground with his monitor. He was giving them instructions through their earpiece to get the right scene that he wanted.
"Travis, you have to lean closer at her. Look directly into her eyes like you're looking at the most precious woman in your life. Hold the side of her face with your hand and slowly, moved slowly towards her. Tilt your head a little so I can get an angle where it looked like you kissed her. That's it!" His nonstop chatter made Travis feel a little nervous.
He followed what was told and looked directly into Jillyanna's eyes. Since it was a romantic scene, Jillyanna cooperated and looked at him as well. Her heart in her eyes and there was so much love in her. Travis was startled to see such naked emotions from her.
When the best scene was taken, they heard Joven cutting the film and was waiting for them to get down.
Jillyanna moved away from him as soon as she could and looked at the scenery around her. Travis was disappointed to see her movement. He actually thought she had fallen for him, but it was obviously an act for the film.
"It's nice here, isn't it?" Jillyanna asked to no one in particular but Travis still answered her.
"It is. When I was young, I would always ask my mother to come with me and play in an amusement park but it only happened a few times. She was always busy with work, almost no time for me. Why did you guys decided to film here?"
"I want to come here. I haven't been to amusement park, you know. This is my first time." Jillyanna stated before turning to face him with a smile. "I'm glad you like this kind of place."
"If you want to come here again, you can just tell me. I'll come with you." Travis responded before reaching out his hand to gently pat her head.
"Thanks." she retorted but it was just a normal response with a normal facial expression. Travis was actually expecting that she would show some loving expression or something sweet or something special, but there was nothing at all.
"Don't forget my payment. You must have dinner with me." he reminded her just in case she'd forget due to her work.
"I know. We'll have dinner after this. Where do you want to eat?" Jillyanna asked him excitedly. Even if she's the one treating him, she was still looking forward to the kind of foods she'll get to eat for dinner. She didn't know why but she's been craving so much food lately.
"I want some Chinese food." Travis responded to her. They talked about food for dinner while waiting for their turn to come down.
'Stop feeding me dog food! You can act lovey dovey when you're home! Don't make me a third wheel!' The cameraman was expressionless at the side but internally he wanted to dig a hole and hide himself. It was a torture to stay with sweet couple.
When they got down, Joven was so happy with the result and praised them. However, when he saw his cameraman, he was confused and surprised.
"Hey, why the long face?" Joven asked the cameraman who got off the cable and walked to them.
"I was eating dog food the whole time I was with them! It was so frustrating for a single to be with sweet couple." he lamented towards Joven who just laughed at him. Joven was bent from laughing and he could only pat his cameraman on the shoulder.
"Good luck to you because we will be working with them until the film is over. Anyway, it's just for today." Joven stated before going back to see his monitor.
Jillyanna and Travis was resting for a bit on a bench under the flame tree when a loud guy approached them.
"Travis! It's you! Who is she?" Diego Sandoval, Travis' best friend came over to talk to them.
"She's Jillyanna, my future wife." Travis introduced her to his friend which made Jillyanna pinched the space between her brows.
"You don't have to introduce me that way." Jillyanna retorted but Travis didn't plan to give her a way out.
"Well, Diego, this is Jillyanna. I am pursuing her and after two months we'll see if it's okay to get married." Travis stated once again which made Jillyanna glared at him.
Diego watched their interaction and he couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time for him to see Travis getting interested with opposite sex and he was more interested to know how it will turn out.
