Chapter 15

JAMES

"James, is it okay if i could drop you off first and wait for me in the lobby? I'll just have to park the car at the nearby parking lot."

Nat said while his eyes are still on the road.

"Sure, no problem. But i don't know where should i enter? I haven't been here before." I answered.

"Oh.. I'll drop you off in front so you won't be lost."

"Hmm okay"

In a minute we reached the building and there were a lot of fans outside holding big banners and there were also small ones with photos of Nunew and his onscreen partner Zee.

"There. Just tell the security you are with me. They will let you in."

I nod, go hop off of Nat's car and walk to the security.

"Good afternoon sir, what can i do for you?" The security said as i walked towards him.

"Hi, I'm with Nat?" I said as i point at Nat who's still not leaving and he waved at us.

"Ohh you're friends with Sir Nunew right? You can come in sir." The guard said while pointing the way to the lobby. "You can take a sit here first sir while waiting for Sir Nat, Do you want me to ask someone to call Sir Nunew and let him know his friends are here?" He asked.

"Ahmm, i think Nat already messaged Nunew that we are already here." 

"Ohh i see, then i'll leave you here so i can go back to my duty." He said with a polite smile.

"Sure, Thanks!" I said. 

Not too long and Nat already came, the guard and other staff greeted him. Seems he is quite known here, looks like he really is the stars bestfriend lol.

"I'm sorry, did you wait too long. It's kinda hard to look for a parking. There's a lot of people around the area today." Nat said.

"Not really, don't worry. Besides it's airconditioned here and i'm so relaxed, i almost sleep. Hahaha" I said while laughing, Nat just laugh it out too and we decided to go ride the elevator. 

He pressed 20th floor and since there's not much people in the building, we reached the floor real quick. Upon stepping in, you can already see the studio. the wide spaces where the artists are taking photoshoots. There are so many lights and big cameras, small and big pile of wires on the ceilling and on the floor, there are also some i don't know what equipments those are but probably they are using it for photoshoots. You can see a lot is going on, everyone is running around here and there. I have seen some big artists i am familiar with, and while looking around we heard a voice calling us. When we look at the person, he welcomed us with his lovely smile and we give him a smile too, however someone from his back seems giving me a not so welcome presence and then Nat whispered to me.

"Don't mind P'Zee, he's always been like that. He used to glare at me like that too before but things changed on the long run. Just be patient."

All i can give is a nod and just don't mind the taller man's presence and the coldness aura he give off and instead look at Nunew and greeted him as well.

"Hi Nat, Hi James. How long have you two waited? Sorry the prod area is so chaotic and messy."

"We just got here, no problem" Nat answered.

"Hi Nu, not long enough. We must made you wait."

"Oh, not really. I just got here half an hour ago too. I hope this place isn't overwhelm you"

"It's okay, no worries. There are more bunch of people in cafe when it is rush hour so this is kinda good." I answered.

"I see, anyway we can do the school work in the cafe, one floor below." Nunew said.

"Sure, so let's go?" I said.

"Okay, Hia! We will head out now to continue our school work. Just let me know if someone urgent that needs me."

"Sure, just remember what i told you." The taller man said with a warning tone. And gave me a look before we already left the area.

If it wasn't for Nunew and the people around i have confronted him but anyway, patience James patience. Not even long and we enter the elevator and walk to the cafeteria of the building. There are not so much of people but you can still see artists sipping their coffees while scrolling through their phones while others are having papers probably are their scripts. While some employees are working on their macbooks and probably working while on a break and eating.

We sat in a table in the corner next to the glass window that can see the overview of the whole city.

"I feel like it will going to rain." Nat said.

"I hope so, it's been so hot lately. Farms and streets are so dry." Nunew added.

I hope... i hope not. No one knows how hard it is for some people when it rain, how hard for those people to overcome such unexpected things such as heavy rains, rather no one knows who suffer from the fear of rain, thunder... or cold nights.... Alone.

"I think this is enough for now, since we almost made the half of our part. We can continue this one at university." I said.

"Yeah, i think this is enough too." Nunew said and stretch his posture "Never thought studying for few hours will this be tiring. I'm so tired" He added.

"Just say, you're not used to study Nu. You always get tired even just reading your textbook for 10mins" Nat teasing Nunew while still typing on his laptop.

"Shut up Nat, you are not better than me. We are just the same." 

"I never said i'm not. But i'm few bits better than you cause i can still do my work without complaining." after Nat said it Nunew start defending himself but his words sounds still complaining.

I just laugh at how silly the both of them while teasing each other. I start fixing my things when someone walk to our table and called Nunew.

"Hi Guys, Hi Nu, you guys done here already?" the man said.

"Just got finished, P'Tommy. Is there anything wrong?" Nu asked.

"Nothing, Just checking you guys here if you all are good. Oh Hi, James right?" The man asked.

"Yes, sir."

"No need to call me sir, Just P'Tommy is enough. Hope you are not overwhelmed on how chaotic this building is."

I shake my head and smile. I saw Nat wai to the guy named Tommy and I just did the same.

"He is P'Tommy, Nunew's manager. He is nice but don't try to be fooled by his words when he ask you something." Nat whispered to me.

"Why?" i asked.

"You'll see, later"

"Hey Nat! What are you whispering there? Are you telling bad things about me again?" P'Tommy said.

"I never said bad things about you P. I always say good things only about you na~"

"Really?" Then Nat nod "So have you thought about the offer i have asked?"

"There we go" Nat whispered to me. "P'Tommy, you know you are my most favorite P of Nunew but I told you I'm not interested in being an artist."

"Nat, think of it again. You are so charming and good looking, the world deserves to see your face and personality. Millions will love you."

"I'm sorry, P'Tommy but i'd rather wish for only one love from someone rather than a million."

"Why are you both so dramatic? P'Tommy, leave Nat and Yim alone already. They don't want to experience the stress i've been went through." Nunew cut the argument between the both of them.

"Alright, alright. I'll stop bothering them. Anyway, James. You seems familiar, are you somewhat a model or an extra before?" P'Tommy said.

"Never, P" I said while shaking my head.

"Really? I thought i saw you before. You look like a celebrity tho. "

"Maybe in the cafe i've asked you to buy me drinks, P. He works there." Nu said.

"Oh you work there? Hmm Maybe i saw you there. I'm not sure, anyway tell your co-workers to work during working hours and not just use phones. That's very irresponsible."

"Co-worker? Who?"

"Yeah, I don't know his name but he is giant, has small eyes, quite skinny, broad shoulders and his aura iritates me."

"All people irritates you, P. But sometimes you irritates everybody so maybe it's your karma."

"Shut up Nu, i'm not talking to you."

Nat and I just laugh it off. After we clean our things and went out to the building. Nunew, still stay in the building since he said he still have meetings to attend after. So Nat just drive me home and drop me off my dorm building. I thank him and went inside my room.

I'm still thinking about the things P'Tommy earlier. The cafe crew? Is it Arman? Or Vincent? That's impossible since they are not tall-tall and never irritate any customers. Also, they probably not in the store on those times since they already filed their time offs.

Anyway, what bothered me so much is when P'Tommy said i'm quite familiar on him. Even asked if i used to be a model or artist and saw me somewhere else, which is bothering. What if he knew me for real... I hope not. I hope he never saw that news before. I hope he don't know me and where i belong to or else all the things i have suffered will go to waste.

Hi Guys,

It's been a while. I apologise if this story took too much time before get to continue. Too many things happend(My phone got stolen lead to forgot to retrieve my accounts and since my phone number was there so it made so hard to retrieve some of my account, so i need to back up things when i retrieve the account.) and got so busy in real life(work load shits sucks for real). 

Anyway, happy new year everyone hope this years is ours and yours. 

Also just an additional update for this story since this really took few years before continued. I probably cut some characters off and promised to make a spin off or a small chapter of the characters. Since this story was originally written for DMD Gen 2 centric and since there are a lot of new gens came in dmd(Which i'm really happy since we have now Gen 5) I have decided to took off some actors here and put them in other sequel in the future or a spin off/ small chapter and also because some cps are not cp anymore, however as i said before i'll continue to use the cp that i have originally plan and will make something afterwards just so i don't offend some fans that are supporting the new cp and ships.

So, see you in the next chapter. Love x
