Chapter 24: AMUSEMENT PARK 2

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.


Chapter 25: AMUSEMENT PARK 3

"It's nice to meet you, Jillyanna. I'm Diego, his best friend." Diego introduced himself while reaching out his hand for a handshake.

"It's nice meeting you, too. Please just ignore his nonsense." Jillyanna took his hand for a handshake but she still threw a glaring glance towards Travis.

Diego chuckled upon seeing her actions and he was already looking forward for his best friend's future.

"I won't disturb your date anymore because my sister would be looking for me if I would take so much time. I'll see you both next time." He waved his hand and ran away from them to buy food for his sister.

When he was out of their sight, Jillyanna had her hands on her waist and one of her eyebrows was raised. "Why the hell did you tell them I'm your future wife?" It wasn't just once but twice already.

"Aren't you?" Travis questioned her back.

"I am not. It's not going to happen." she turned her back on him to hide away her facial expressions.

"Why? I still have so much time for me to prove that I deserve a chance and after two months we can also talk about marriage. I am serious about this. I am not pursuing you because I'm having fun or that I just want to have a girlfriend. I decided to pursue you with marriage in mind." Travis spoke softly but enough for her to hear and listen the words from his heart.

"I agreed, yes. However, the two months that I gave you still stand. Don't go telling people that I'm your future wife or whatnot. It would be ridiculous if that won't actually happen."

"Then why not make it happen? Don't you have a little bit of special feelings for me?" Travis couldn't help but blurt out what's on his mind. He wanted to take back his words but it was too late.

Jillyanna looked at him. No smile or any expression at all. She looked so cold and even her words were coated with ice.

"I don't. I don't have any. I am not capable of feeling the emotions you were looking for. I have told you from the start that it's a waste of time." there was no hint of warmness in her eyes at all.

Travis was stunned with her answer. It never crossed his mind that she would hate him or that she won't feel anything for him at all. He was really confident that she would fall for him. Most women would flock around him but it was the first time that someone didn't like him.

"I still have a month or so to pursue you. Maybe you'd change your mind. I am really serious with you." Travis stated with all sincerity he could muster.

"Fine. Just tell me once you want to stop all these. You don't need to finish the whole two months." Jillyanna responded to him. She couldn't afford to fall in love and hurt herself over and over again.

She was once asked by a junior in her university before who was working as a school journalist. Jillyanna was one of the top achievers in school and many people wanted to know what kind of life she has.

The journalist asked her about her study habits that could help students and some beauty tips for ladies since she was also the No. 1 Campus Beauty for three consecutive years until she graduated.

Aside from trivial questions, many people wanted to know how she's doing with her love life. The journalist once asked her, "Have you fallen in love?"

Jillyanna wanted to lie to her but she also realized that there's nothing wrong to answer the question honestly. Anyway, they didn't know who the guy was.

"I did. I was stupid and young back then." she answered the question with an expressionless face.

Cielo and Lucian who was watching her from the opposite table were also shocked. They didn't know about it.

"I believe it wasn't a good relationship?" the journalist probed her which made Jillyanna nod her head.

"It wasn't really a relationship. More like a one-sided love. Though he knew about it for a long time. That doesn't matter anymore now. We haven't seen each other for a very long time." Jillyanna responded with a confident smile this time.

"So Ms. Madrid, what's love for you?"

Jillyanna paused for a while to think of an answer. "Love for me? When I was young, when I first liked someone, I thought love was boundless. It can't be measured with anything. You can't base your love with the person's status, look or intelligence. That's what I thought. But now? For me, love is a waste of time. It's a pain in the ass. It's frustrating. It's depressing and it's not helpful at all. It will only cause a disturbance in your life!"

The journalist faced her with a surprised expression. She didn't expect to get a strong negative emotions towards love. Most people will go for romantic kind of words, atmosphere and vibe, but the woman that was being interviewed didn't regard it that way.

Jillyanna also noticed that the journalist was shocked with her answer so she tried to set things on the right track.

"That's what I think now. Who knows in the future I might change my mind? Just don't expect it to be so soon." Jillyanna added with a chuckle before arranging her things.

"Thank you so much Ms. Madrid. I wish that you'll find your true love as well." the journalist bowed before keeping the recorder and left.

Not long after, Lucian, Cielo and Jillyanna also went home. They didn't ask her who the person she once liked. They would wait for her to tell them personally which never happened until now.

Jillyanna's mind returned to present and she decided to keep quiet. Travis didn't bother her as well. He can take one step at a time towards her until she would learn how to love him. That's his goal within the remaining one month and few days.
