"Mornin' Ray! How's our little 21 year old doing?" Saph was smiling from ear to ear. That cheeky face.
"Yea, okay! I admit I was wrong. Your present is totally awesome," I rolled my eyes, but couldn't hide the smile.
"Hyea! Duh! Ha ha. Mmm, but you have to work today." A frown creased over her forehead.
"I'll be fine. I love my job. I would be upset if I had to miss my job on my birthday."
"Well, okay. Oh! You better go now before you delay their shoot."
"Dammit! I'm late a-gain! See ya tonight Saph! And you better be holding that cake we saw at the bakery!"
"Got it, got it. Go!"

Key, key, key...
Into the ignition... ...
Drive!
BANG!
"What the... ...?"
Argh! I forgot to open the gates!

"Taxi!" Luck is on my side.
Whoo! I improved. Only 15 minutes late.
Hastily getting ready, a stout man with a tomato-red face comes yelling at me.
As usual, I tune him out and he stomps away grumbling.
At this moment a cast member sat down in the high chair beside me.
Ah. My first face to draw. Wonder who's the lucky fella. I smiled to myself.
I don't have a habit of getting to know the stars I work for. I just work...

"Okay, let's see that face." As I lift my head from the powder and brush I held in my hands, I see a face. His face.
I can't move.
He is looking away, yet without the enchanting power of his gaze, my breath has escaped me. My knees are'nt supporting me excellently either.
If our eyes met, I wonder if I'd collapse.
Maybe because his every outline is God-like,
and something more... ...

"We haven't got all day woman!" Tomato Man is back.
I must've been standing here, rigid as stone, staring and mouth slightly open.
Snapping out of it, I argued lamely, "Dude! I-I was just examining his skin tone. I'm doing my job okay!"

I revert my gaze back to Him (too eagerly).
He's still in the same position --
laid-back, arms propped up on the arm rest...
looking away.
What's he thinking about?!

Taking my first step towards him, I anticipate his eyes that would burn right down to my heart as he would, as I expect, finally notice my presence and turn his gaze to meet mine.


it doesnt end here...
