OVERSEAS MIRACLES

CHAPTER 51

Self Preparation

"Damn! Why can't I get rid the feel of her soft plump skin?" France cursed silently forcing himself to forget the way he and Setsuka cuddled during their scene. This was the scene wherein Kuu's role caught them off guard and reminded them of the information that he wanted them to secretly retrieve to aid his investigation.

By the way, France's role is the son of Kuu's role; a young man who's dedicated to follow his father's footstep. His girlfriend, Ella, is a big fan of his father, wanted to be like him as well as the first big female title. Once they found out their common interests, they became friends. In their friendship, they knew each other's best and weakest points at the same time exploring each other's well being. Eventually, it turned out into a serious romantic relationship. For their friends and the people who are close to Kuu's role, they are known as the happy playful couple in spite of their magnificent intelligence and skills.

"Setsu, let's go back to the dressing room." Cain spoke to her. His voice is loud enough for France to hear. France glanced at the source and it mentally terrified him to death just by looking at the killer glare of Cain Heel. He could feel that bloody murder is calling his name if he moves an inch. After that, Cain walked away, dragging his sister by holding to her slender waist. 'What did I do to make him look so hateful at me?' For sure, he can feel his feet tightly glued on the floor, unable to lift it up as seconds passed.

In the dressing room, the Heel Siblings were having a little snack. They have been exchanging praises of how well they did their jobs and that they should continue to do their best.

*Knock knock*

"What?" Setsuka asked with her cold face as she opened the door.

"If you would excuse me, the director wants to speak with you two now." The male crew spoke shakily.

"Oh…" she muttered and looked back at her brother who is already ready to leave.

"Oh no, you don't. You're not done with your food. Eat it all for you are going to perform another strenuous scene. At least, bring that burger." Setsuka reprimanded as she pointed the jumbo-size food.

With the look of her face, he took the food from its saucer dejectedly. This had surprised the male at the control that his sister had for him.

"So, where's Director Psalm?" she asked, intimidatingthe male crew.

"Please follow me." He said hesitantly and Setsu tailed him.

"Ah! Setsuka, Cain! Come in here for a second. Thanks for taking them here. You may leave." Director Psalm told the guy as he gestured the siblings to enter his lounge. Closing the door, he sighed in relief.

"Now, will you guys peel off your act for a moment? You don't have to worry about leakage of information. This room is sound proof."

"What do you want to discuss to us, Director Psalm? Is something wrong with my acting?" Kyoko asked as she tilted her head innocently, concerned if she is causing a problem during her part earlier.

"You're such a sweetie, you know that Ms. Kyoko? If I were near your age, I will surely keep you in my arms." The director blurted out.

"Eh?" Kyoko exclaimed in disbelief as her face reddened in embarrassment. On the other hand, Ren choked mentally at the director's words.

"Nah, just kidding. My wife will surely kill me if I do. There's nothing wrong with your acting." He laughed boisterously at her reaction. "Anyway, before I forget, I would like to inform you that I am going to Norway to take care some family matters. I will be leaving three days from now. That would be for the whole month of December. Filming will resume on the second week of the New Year. Copy that?" he inquired.

"Roger"

"Yes, sir."

The couple answered in unison.

"Good. Now, back to what I want to discuss…" The director continued talking about how excellent they performed in their respective roles. He even talked about the naturally splendid chemistry she had with France which is something very surprising to expect that the mysterious Setsuka Heel would act it out.

After they are done with the filming of the night, the Heel Siblings went straight back to their hotel since it is already three o'clock in the morning. Since both of them are about to be knocked down, they didn't bother taking a shower and immediately changed to their sleep wear.

"Setsu, you have not reached the bed yet." He gently tapped the shoulder of the now slumbering Setsu on the long couch with the strap of her nightie went out of place, showing her sweet delectable shoulder. Ren is having a little battle with his self control to have a taste. It just reminded him of their intimate act in the dressing room.

"Tsk. Sleeping that defenselessly, huh? For sure you'll hate me for taking advantage of your current state. You just don't know how delicious you look right now, do you?" He whispered seductively as he nuzzled his breath on her neck.

Receiving only a silent breathing from her, he smiled amusingly at her and kissed her forehead before carrying her to her bed. Feeling that sleep is heavily taking over him, he didn't bother to place her on her bed. Instead, they both landed on his bed since it is the one nearest to him. Settling her head comfortably on his side, he slowly pulled the comforter on their bodies. Lastly, he carefully encircled his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to his body.

"I guess the time is coming near to tell you." He said softly as he caressed her.

With that position, kissed her hair and allowed himself to drift off to sleep with a smile of love and contentment plastered on his face.

The next day, the couple woke up at noon. To Kyoko's horror, she only has two hours left to prepare for 'Innocent Rose'. With that, she quickly rose from the bed and head for a shower then change her clothes as Ren took his turn to take a bath.

"Calm down, Kyoko. We will be there on time. So you don't have to panic." Ren spoke calmly to her as he gave her bare shoulders a light squeeze. He even took a glimpse on her smooth neck.

"Yes, you're right." Kyoko heaved a sigh to relax herself. Inwardly, she felt a course of electricity running beneath her skin at the feel of Ren's callous hands on her shoulder. It made her somewhat… excited? But she made an effort not to blush too hard.

"Uhm, don't you think that it's going to be cold in the studio? I suggest you should change to something that has sleeves." Ren said, mentally thinking to himself that no other guys should see her showing her exposed skin. One more thing, it made his blood boil at the obvious crush that cousin of his has for her. For sure, France will never take his eyes off of her with just how cute and sexy she looked with her blue denim halter and white skinny jeans which hugged her shapely legs so perfectly. In addition to that, she wore a set of bangles on her arm which gave an accent to her outfit. All in all, she looks so amazing to Ren's eyes. 'At least she's not wearing shorts' Ren thought mentally.

"Is something wrong with my top, Ren? Did you forget that we are going to do an outdoor shooting this day? Or do I not look good at it?" she asked worriedly. Before she could negatively comment about herself, as Ren predicted…

"That's not it! You really look great on it!" Ren hurriedly said.

"But I'm not convinced that you like it! It seems to me that you are desperate to let me change it!" She complained.

'Damn, Kyoko! Don't you have any idea of how many man will drool over the way you dress right now?' Ren wanted to pull his hair in exasperation.

"That's not what I meant!"He insisted.

"Then care to explain to me honestly!" she demanded, receiving a deep sigh of defeat from him.

"Kyoko," It seems he was having a little difficulty of coming up a reasonable excuse. She was right. It could get a little bit sweaty of if she wears something with sleeves. 'Hell, I will not allow her to wear those some kind of thin blouse that mother bought for her. They're almost see-throughs! Heck, it will surely show her… her…' Now, much that he hates to admit it, he is starting to have dirty thoughts of his girlfriend in her brassiere and her delicious frame down to sexy hips.

"Waaah! An hour left! There's no time for me to change, Ren! I better do my make-up." She exclaimed as she scurried to pick her make-up kit then ran to the bathroom.

'Damn! To the bathroom to do her make-up? Can't she do it in front of me?' Kuon smirked naughtily as the inner Ren started to 'hit' his head hard to erase the perverted thoughts. Dejectedly, he lounged his self to the couch and waited for her to finish.

After long hours of filming, the director wanted to meet the whole crew and only Kyoko. He had announced that he had found the actor who is going to portray Alyssa's father. What made this meeting more interesting is that they are going to shoot in Japan for the first part of the movie. Originally, it was planned that they are only going to do an artificial set up of Japan but the director changed his mind because he aimed to enter this movie to the international film festival. Thus, he must make this movie more realistic as possible.

To Kyoko's delight, she would be going back to her homeland for it! Now, this explains why she is the only actress called in the meeting since the setting for the next scene is going to be in Japan. Thus, naturally, Japanese people are needed for this particular portion of the movie. However, she was a curious of who is going to play Alyssa's father. Typically, some mature Japanese actor would do later on.

"I'm so excited to go back to Japan, Ren! I really really really miss eating ice cream with Moko-san! And oh, Maria-chan, too! Kyaaa!" She said happily as her imagination drifted with shimmers, thinking of her plans when she gets back.

"Woof! Woof!" barked wolf from the back seat as he tried to make his way to Kyoko.

"Wolf, sit and behave. We will reach home in no time." Ren scolded.

"Awww, Ren. He can transfer here, you know. Come here, Wol-chan!" she stretched herself a little to reach Wolf and place him on her lap.

'Wol-chan?' Ren thought amusingly.

"Since when had you gotten heavier, Wol-chan? For a running 3 months old puppy, you really are big compared to ordinary dogs. Now, lie down. Good boy. Here's a treat for you." She spoke gently as she tapped the pup's head after giving him a doggie biscuit from the car's compartment in front of her.

"You know, you're spoiling our child too much." Ren complimented while his eyes focused on the road.

"Ehhhh? Ren! Stop saying such things! Wol-chan is a puppy!" She exclaimed excessively at his words, face so bright in red. Still, she can't imagine herself being called as a mother.

Her reaction only made him laugh loudly in amusement at the display of her expressions. It's just too priceless. He can't help but love every bits of her.

"Kyoko, can we go somewhere else before I could take you home?" Ren asked.

"Oh, I see. I don't mind." She replied sweetly.

'Damn, she's so cute. I really am a lucky guy.' He complimented himself inwardly. However, despite of that, he is starting to feel anxious and fearful of what he is going to confess to her. He just only hopes and prays to any god who could hear him that Kyoko will not leave him.

After a good fifteen minutes ride and it is still four o'clock in the afternoon. They arrived in a-some-kind of a nature park (to Kyoko's description) and Ren parked the car where no one could attempt to pass by. The place is so serene and she could smell the cool scent of nature entering the car.

"Kyoko, please prepare yourself after I do this. There is something important that I really have to confess to you. But promise me that you won't run away from me. For me, this is the biggest sin that I have been hiding from you since the first time we had met. I was planning to tell you when we go back to Japan but it seems I can't hold on any longer." Ren pleaded as he squeezed her hand nervously with his large hands.

"Wha… What's that supposed to mean, Ren?" she asked in confusion. What made her agitated is the feel of Ren's cold hands holding onto hers desperately.

Huhuhuh what is happening to our country? After the sudden earthquake in Bohol (which even reached in Negros Islands), typhoons kept on coming almost every week!

Lately, just yesterday, Typhoon Yolanda just left the Philippine Area of Responsibility, leaving super devastating destruction in many places and hundreds of deaths in the Visayan Island. Thank God we are not very much affected unlike Leyte in which a 10 or 15 meter of sea wave destroyed many sea side properties (WHOAH: Almost like a tsunami!). Tsk. We can even feel the terrifying strong breeze from more than 300-500km (or even greater) away from us. I can't concentrate in continuing this story. *sigh*

This typhoon is just too much. I think it can even compare to hurricane Katrina. I just hope and pray for the safety of everybody.

Anyway, much of my babblings… Tsk. It took me long to update. Now, I know you have something to tell me about this update! I'm all 'eyes' to gladly read all your suggestions, testimonies, critiques and many more!

Please do review!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! :D
