1:17PM

I pulled away from my lover's face. "But.. what if we can't work out?"
"Don't ever say that." He retorted quickly.

"Sasuke? Are you still asleep?" Outside of the tent, a lady's voice can be heard. But it wasn't Karin's.
I couldn't afford to allow anyone to see me, I immediately dove into Sasuke's sleeping bag and zipping it up as he replied her, "No, I'm up."
Through a small opening from his sleeping bag, I could see blonde hair as she unzipped the tent.

It was no one other than Ino Yamanaka.

She crawled into the tent with him, now sitting across from him. She moved so gracefully, her bright blue eyes could capture any man's attention.
"I'm just worried about you, sleeping out here by yourself."
"There's nothing to worry about."
"You've been acting different since the last time I worked with you. Leaving in the middle of your shoot to make a call, sudden change of shooting location and now this? You used to be so professional, that's why I enjoyed working with you."
"I don't remember working with you. Must be a lifetime ago." He simply shrugged.

My heart dropped to my stomach when I heard her. She was right. I am distracting him from his work. I am the reason he's becoming unprofessional.. Without me, he wouldn't have interrupted the shoot with a call, he wouldn't have to fly all the way here and he definitely wouldn't need to be sleeping out here in the woods..

"Sasuke.. If there's anything I can help with.." The blonde model reached for his hand. Sasuke immediately pulled back his hands and out of her reach. "Just do what you're being paid to do and don't meddle into what you're not." He held the tent's opening for her, signalling her to get out.

She looked at him, concerned before giving up and leaving.

Sasuke zipped up the tent straight after she left, "You can come out now."
I hushed him, "She might still be near by!" I whispered.
"What are you so afraid of anyway?"
My lips separated but no words came out. There was so much I was scared of, I didn't even know how to tell him or where to even start.
I was afraid of people knowing about us.
Afraid that it'll ruin his career.
Afraid that I'm not good enough.
The list of fears goes on.

"I..I have to go now, my teachers might have noticed my absence." I pecked him on the cheek and exited the tent even before he had time to say his goodbye.

3:09PM

I entered the hotel, I could see Ino hanging out at the hotel's cafe, stirring her coffee aimlessly. She looked to be deep into her thoughts. Many students were still crowding around her and admiring her beauty in the distance.

Ino reminds me so much of Sasuke.
They both have a strong magnetic charm that draws people to them. Always the centre of attention and always so perfect looking.
She's just everything I'm not.
The media and public would definitely approve Sasuke and Ino as a couple.

Ah, what am I thinking again..

I looked away and proceeded to walk away when I bumped into Karin.
"It's annoying, isn't it?" Karin muttered as she glared at Ino from far.
I looked up at her, raising my eyebrow.
Why is she talking to me after treating me like a fool?

"She's a A list model and actress. She's too perfect.. no wonder she's the main lead for Uchiha X watch. I won't be surprised if she get chosen to be the ambassador. You should see when they were acting together, there were so much chemistry I could puke." She folded her arms and rolled her eyes.
"I think.. the most annoying part is that she looks like you. Sasuke definitely has a thing for blondes... but he didn't like it when I was blonde.." She continued rambling at the last part, wondering where she went wrong as she tried to duplicate me.

I shivered when I remembered those embarrassingly terrible memories. But his management said the same thing to him, didn't they? That she looks like me.
Does Sasuke have a thing for blondes?
Would she be the face of Uchiha X..?

After hearing how she described their acting together, I was worried about watching the Ad. But I know Sasuke would bring me along to the launch party and they will definitely play the ad there.

Do I come up with another diarrhoea excuse again? I shivered as I remembered another embarrassingly terrible memory.

"Are you listening to me?" She clicked her tongue in annoyance at my lack of response and attention towards her, probably something shes not used to.
I ignored her, continuing to walk towards the lift. But if only I could ignore the words she said.

It was as if she read my mind and confirmed the most worrying fact for me.

I'm not good enough for him.

But Ino..
