"Well, yes. I've been wearing my favorite brand of perfume for a very long time." Juliana answered, while looking confused at William's question.
William closed his eyes tightly as he remembers what happened. They had a welcome party at a bar, Juliana got obviously drunk and she's not in a good condition to go home all by herself as she couldn't stand straight on her own, so he didn't have any choice but to escort her and drive her home...And her perfume must've gotten into his clothes, and in the end, Celeste smelled it.Celeste was so jealous and she decided to walk out..."Oh, no! Now I know why she's getting all jealous!" he murmured to himself."Are you saying something, Boss? Do you still need anything?" Juliana asks him, while looking concerned.William looked at her straight into her eyes."Yes, I still need something from you..." he said, while looking dead serious.Juliana puzzily frowned at William,"Okay, first things first, let's all sit down and order some drinks first. Then, we'll talk." William spoke again.Once their drinks arrived and once the waiter finally left their table, Celeste started to speak again."So, what do you want to talk about?" "Celeste, I am begging you to listen to Juliana. She's going to tell you the truth..." William seriously pleaded at her."Okay, I'm going to listen. And please don't lie to me, alright?" Celeste nodded in return.Meanwhile, Juliana took a deep, calming breath first, then she started talking to Celeste."This is what really happened, Miss Celeste. Boss William and I met at Mr. Carlos' bachelor party. I was an exotic dancer, and I was hired to dance at the party. I was shocked to see Boss William at the party. He and I were classmates back in the University and I used to be his tutor. When we saw each other at the party, we talked, trying to catch up with each other. He generous
As of the moment, William and Celeste are now exchanging their vows..."I will always love you, support you, and care for you, even during your bad hair days, even on your monthly-you-know-what-it-is, and during your hormonal imbalance as well. I will stay by you through good times and bad times. I will never leave you nor forsake you. I will love you until the end of time, Celeste, my love..." William was the first one to say his vows, much to everyone's laughter.Afterwards, it was Celeste's turn to say her vows."William, my heart, body and soul are yours forever. I will laugh with you, scream with you, wrestle with you, have a debate with you, and the list goes on. Whatever you do, I will stay by your side, to infinity and beyond. I love you will all my heart and soul..." she said, as she was trying her best to control her tears...The priest nodded at them in return."Next, we will do the ring exchange ceremony. Please repeat after m
Celine enters the Waldorf Auditorium, where numerous musical and stage plays are held. It was a freezing cold morning of December. As she walks inside the lobby, she smiles as she immediately saw Nate, his co-star in their musical play. Nate is walking towards her with a smile. Celine is currently in a certain musical play production wherein she is the only female lead and she'll be acting alongside with four guys. "Morning, Celine! You look like a squirrel freezing from cold. Are you okay?" Nate worriedly asks Celine. "Good morning, Nate! Oh, don't worry, I can still handle the cold." Celine reassures him. Nate glances at his watch and looks at Celine again. "Well, we can get ourselves a cup of coffee before our call time." he suggested. "Sounds nice. Thanks." Celine agrees, without thinking twice. Nate and Celine are now making their way to the coffee vending machine. While Nate was busy getting themselves coffee from the vending machine, Celine secretly watches him. He's de
After doing warm-up exercises, they finally started with the rehearsals. Nate and Celine are called onstage to practice their scenes together. Once they were finished, Mr. Alford called Nate and Celine to give them his feedback. "The way you deliver your lines is too strong, Celine. Remember, not too strong nor, not so soft. You should say your lines clearly and with conviction. Am I making any sense?" "Yes, sir." I responded, while nodding in return. "And Nate, I think that you were amazing. Your voice perfectly blends well with Celine. My advise to you two, is just to continue practicing. Both of you should practice, even on your free time." Director Alford suggested. "Thank you for your one-on-one talk, sir." Nate thanked their Director. As the both of them started going down the stage, Nate suddenly moved closer to me. Then, he whispered: "Sir Alford is right. We should practice more, just the two if us." he informs Celine. “That's a good idea.” I whispered back, trying
"Good morning, everyone! I'm so sorry for being late!" Nate suddenly made his entrance, while gasping for breath. "You're not that late, Nate. We're still doing warm ups." the old director reassures him. "Thank you, Sir." Nate heaved a sigh of relief. Then afterwards, he walks towards his cast mates to join them. "Celine isn't here yet?" Nate asked everyone, while looking worried. "Yeah. Maybe she overslept?" Nick did a wild guess. Nate's brows met in a curious frown when he saw Gale giving him a challenging stare. He doesn't have any idea on why he's looking at him like that... =========================== Twenty minutes have passed, but Celine is still missing in action. But the Director still went ahead with their rehearsals, as scheduled. "Today, we're going to discuss the list of songs for our musical play. Next week, a pianist will be here so that we can start with your vocal rehearsals." Director Alford informs everyone on what they will be expecting at the rehearsals ne
Celine and Nick finally reaches the small town of Walnut Creek. They were greeted by the gust of winter wind, as if they are being welcomed. "So, where are you going now?" Nick suddenly asks Celine. "I'm going to my parent's farm, which is called the Montecarlo farm. How about you? Where are you going?" Celine asked in return. "Oh, I'm going to my grandparent's place." Nick smilingly answers. "Let's have fun on our holiday vacation, okay?" Celine was ready to say goodbye. "See you at the rehearsals after the holidays." Nick nodded in return. They were about to part their ways when Celine heard someone calling her name. "Celine!" Celine smiled when she saw Sally, and her brother Simon, who both steps out from the pick-up truck. Sally excitedly ran towards Celine. "Sally and Simon! I'm glad to see you again after a long time!" Celine happily greeted her childhood friends. But instead of answering Celine, Sally's attention instantly focused on Nick. "Who is he, Celine?" Sal
As the night deepens, Celine is still unable to sleep. She decided to get up, walk out from her room and decided to warm up some milk so that she can relax and feel sleepy. And coincidentally, Celine caught Nick as well, drinking one mug of milk. They are now enjoying their own mugs of milk , while chatting to each other "What would you feel after the Finale night, Celine?" Nick suddenly asks Celine, out of the blue. "Of course, I'll feel sad." commented Celine. "Me too. I mean, I know the boys have been fooling around and we sometimes get irritated with each other but we're still a family." Nick suddenly became serious. "I agree with you. But even if the play is over, we're still friends, right?" said Celine. "Absolutely! Nothing will change..." Nick reassures Celine. Celine suddenly changes her mind about Nick. He can be a clown especially when he is with Nate, Gale and Justin, but deep inside, he can be a warm, kind and gentle person... ============================ The n
The next day. Only two weeks before the Gala Night starts, Director Alford called for a meeting. It was obvious that all of the cast members are under real pressure now. "We're almost at the end of the race, and now we're going to work harder that before. But first, let me give you a good news." the Director announced, as he unrolls a medium-sized poster. All of the cast lets out a gasp of surprise and excitement. It was their official poster for the musical play, and it looks absolutely impressive and amazing! "We're also sending the tickets at the participating outlets. We really have to give our best shot. But for the meantime, guys.We need to put up these posters around the area. And be sure to ask permission to the authorized person before putting up the posters. Is that clear?" the old director asked for everyone's approval. "Yes, sir!" everyone said in unison. "Celine, do you want to pair up with me?" Justin asked her with a smile. "Sure!" Celine smiles back, as she's
