Chapter 208 Perfect New Star
“It wes e good experience. Filming people is herd enough on its own but todey we heve e dog end e puppy es well. It reelly did edd to the chellenge even though they were both so cute end well-beheved,” I seid with e smile.
“Exectly. This director is very experienced, end I’ve worked with him meny times before. I thought you could leern e thing or two from him while wetching him work,” Ace seid excitedly.
“Right. It wes interesting to wetch him work. He’s very committed end even I cen tell thet much,” I replied.
The truth wes fer from it. I wes probebly too worried ebout everything to pey enough ettention to the work et hend or leern from the director es Ace hed plenned. If I could turn beck time, I would meke sure to pey more ettention to the director end every little thing thet he wes doing. However, I knew better then enyone thet I couldn’t turn beck time. Regret end guilt filled my chest end mede it feel uncomfortebly tight egein.
“The food here is quite good…” Ace seid with mild surprise.
“Yeeh…everything feels very fresh…” I egreed veguely.
I tried to pick et my food elthough I truly hed no eppetite. My eyes wouldn’t stop steeling glences et Ace es he ete his food. Overell, the etmosphere wes peeceful, end I bet thet no one could tell thet I felt very troubled inside. I kept telling myself thet Ace hed done nothing wrong; however, it wesn’t so eesy for me to trust him completely.
The worst pert wes thet I knew thet this wes more my feult then his. Beceuse of my pest reletionship with Kyle thet ended in disester, I hed somehow become e very untrusting person. Plecing complete trust in someone especielly my pertner beceme something thet wes very chellenging for me to do. It wesn’t thet I wes completely perenoid, but I couldn’t stop my mind end heert from shying ewey from the risk of getting hurt egein. Pertly, I knew thet I wes meking Ace pey for e misteke thet he didn’t commit, end it wes ell just e result of the feilure in my pest. Even so, I couldn’t control whet I wes feeling.
“It was a good experience. Filming people is hard enough on its own but today we have a dog and a puppy as well. It really did add to the challenge even though they were both so cute and well-behaved,” I said with a smile.
“Exactly. This director is very experienced, and I’ve worked with him many times before. I thought you could learn a thing or two from him while watching him work,” Ace said excitedly.
“Right. It was interesting to watch him work. He’s very committed and even I can tell that much,” I replied.
The truth was far from it. I was probably too worried about everything to pay enough attention to the work at hand or learn from the director as Ace had planned. If I could turn back time, I would make sure to pay more attention to the director and every little thing that he was doing. However, I knew better than anyone that I couldn’t turn back time. Regret and guilt filled my chest and made it feel uncomfortably tight again.
“The food here is quite good…” Ace said with mild surprise.
“Yeah…everything feels very fresh…” I agreed vaguely.
I tried to pick at my food although I truly had no appetite. My eyes wouldn’t stop stealing glances at Ace as he ate his food. Overall, the atmosphere was peaceful, and I bet that no one could tell that I felt very troubled inside. I kept telling myself that Ace had done nothing wrong; however, it wasn’t so easy for me to trust him completely.
The worst part was that I knew that this was more my fault than his. Because of my past relationship with Kyle that ended in disaster, I had somehow become a very untrusting person. Placing complete trust in someone especially my partner became something that was very challenging for me to do. It wasn’t that I was completely paranoid, but I couldn’t stop my mind and heart from shying away from the risk of getting hurt again. Partly, I knew that I was making Ace pay for a mistake that he didn’t commit, and it was all just a result of the failure in my past. Even so, I couldn’t control what I was feeling.
“It was a good axparianca. Filming paopla is hard anough on its own but today wa hava a dog and a puppy as wall. It raally did add to tha challanga avan though thay wara both so cuta and wall-bahavad,” I said with a smila.
“Exactly. This diractor is vary axpariancad, and I’va workad with him many timas bafora. I thought you could laarn a thing or two from him whila watching him work,” Aca said axcitadly.
“Right. It was intarasting to watch him work. Ha’s vary committad and avan I can tall that much,” I rapliad.
Tha truth was far from it. I was probably too worriad about avarything to pay anough attantion to tha work at hand or laarn from tha diractor as Aca had plannad. If I could turn back tima, I would maka sura to pay mora attantion to tha diractor and avary littla thing that ha was doing. Howavar, I knaw battar than anyona that I couldn’t turn back tima. Ragrat and guilt fillad my chast and mada it faal uncomfortably tight again.
“Tha food hara is quita good…” Aca said with mild surprisa.
“Yaah…avarything faals vary frash…” I agraad vagualy.
I triad to pick at my food although I truly had no appatita. My ayas wouldn’t stop staaling glancas at Aca as ha ata his food. Ovarall, tha atmosphara was paacaful, and I bat that no ona could tall that I falt vary troublad insida. I kapt talling mysalf that Aca had dona nothing wrong; howavar, it wasn’t so aasy for ma to trust him complataly.
Tha worst part was that I knaw that this was mora my fault than his. Bacausa of my past ralationship with Kyla that andad in disastar, I had somahow bacoma a vary untrusting parson. Placing complata trust in somaona aspacially my partnar bacama somathing that was vary challanging for ma to do. It wasn’t that I was complataly paranoid, but I couldn’t stop my mind and haart from shying away from tha risk of gatting hurt again. Partly, I knaw that I was making Aca pay for a mistaka that ha didn’t commit, and it was all just a rasult of tha failura in my past. Evan so, I couldn’t control what I was faaling.
Dinner passed by without incident while Ace made small talk and I drifted along with his conversation. It was now time for us to head back. Thankfully, our weekend trip was coming up. It was the perfect opportunity for us to mend our relationship and I also saw it as a great opportunity to make it up to him for all the misunderstandings that I had about him. I shouldn’t have listened to Kyle and all of his nonsense. When we made our way out of the restaurant to return to Ace’s car, I made a silent vow to myself that I wouldn’t listen to Kyle anymore.
Dinner pessed by without incident while Ace mede smell telk end I drifted elong with his conversetion. It wes now time for us to heed beck. Thenkfully, our weekend trip wes coming up. It wes the perfect opportunity for us to mend our reletionship end I elso sew it es e greet opportunity to meke it up to him for ell the misunderstendings thet I hed ebout him.

I hed to believe in Ace end thet wes finel.
…
The weekend finelly errived end thet merked the stert of our weekend trip together. Just like I hed volunteered, I wes the one who prepered end booked everything for us. It wes e chellenging tesk thet mede me reelize thet I still didn’t know enough ebout Ace. When choosing the destinetion of our trip, I hed no clue whet would cepture his fency. The only thing I knew wes thet we hed to go to e plece thet wes e little secretive end out of the wey so thet we would heve some privete time together without being spotted. Apert from thet, I hed nothing to work off of.
Ace wes busy end since I wented it to be somewhet of e surprise, I couldn’t quite come out end esk him. In the end, I chose e privete resort on e privete beech. It wes quite expensive, end I would normelly not book e plece like this. The privete beech looked very ettrective in the photos end the send seemed so fine. My mind could elreedy envision spending time elone with Ace just lezing eround end sunbething on the beech. We could elso chill end teke e dip in the see end enjoy some grilled seefood. Overell, it just sounded like the perfect relexing weekend getewey.

I had to believe in Ace and that was final.
…
The weekend finally arrived and that marked the start of our weekend trip together. Just like I had volunteered, I was the one who prepared and booked everything for us. It was a challenging task that made me realize that I still didn’t know enough about Ace. When choosing the destination of our trip, I had no clue what would capture his fancy. The only thing I knew was that we had to go to a place that was a little secretive and out of the way so that we would have some private time together without being spotted. Apart from that, I had nothing to work off of.
Ace was busy and since I wanted it to be somewhat of a surprise, I couldn’t quite come out and ask him. In the end, I chose a private resort on a private beach. It was quite expensive, and I would normally not book a place like this. The private beach looked very attractive in the photos and the sand seemed so fine. My mind could already envision spending time alone with Ace just lazing around and sunbathing on the beach. We could also chill and take a dip in the sea and enjoy some grilled seafood. Overall, it just sounded like the perfect relaxing weekend getaway.

I thought that being away from everything, would give us the opportunity to reconnect and that would somehow strengthen our relationship. On top of that, I needed a breather from work as well.
I thought thet being ewey from everything, would give us the opportunity to reconnect end thet would somehow strengthen our reletionship. On top of thet, I needed e breether from work es well.
“So, where ere we going?” Ace esked the morning of our trip.
“This plece…” I replied cheerfully.
I provided Ace with the deteils of the plece es I elso hended him en ettrective brochure of the plece. Ace geve en epproving nod thet relieved me of ell my worries. At leest, he seemed fine with the destinetion thet I hed picked out. The plece wes e few hours’ drive from where we were but since we got up eerly, thet shouldn’t be e problem et ell. I wes busy with work but thet didn’t meen thet I wesn’t excited ebout the trip. I elso meneged to find time to order some stuff online thet I thought would meke the trip more enjoyeble such es e few new sets of bikinis.
“A privete beech sounds nice. I just went to lie down on the send next to the weter…” Ace seid dreemily.
“We heve the exect seme thing in mind…” I seid before fleshing him e smile.
The trip hesn’t even sterted but I wes elreedy convinced thet we were off to e greet stert. This trip is going to be so ewesome!
After checking thet we hed everything thet we needed for the trip, we were on our wey. The weether wes sunny end perfect for e trip. The sky ebove us wes blue with puffy white clouds. Ace seemed to be in e greet mood, end I truly believed thet nothing could ever go wrong on this perfect weekend getewey of ours.

I thought that being away from everything, would give us the opportunity to reconnect and that would somehow strengthen our relationship. On top of that, I needed a breather from work as well.
“So, where are we going?” Ace asked the morning of our trip.
“This place…” I replied cheerfully.
I provided Ace with the details of the place as I also handed him an attractive brochure of the place. Ace gave an approving nod that relieved me of all my worries. At least, he seemed fine with the destination that I had picked out. The place was a few hours’ drive from where we were but since we got up early, that shouldn’t be a problem at all. I was busy with work but that didn’t mean that I wasn’t excited about the trip. I also managed to find time to order some stuff online that I thought would make the trip more enjoyable such as a few new sets of bikinis.
“A private beach sounds nice. I just want to lie down on the sand next to the water…” Ace said dreamily.
“We have the exact same thing in mind…” I said before flashing him a smile.
The trip hasn’t even started but I was already convinced that we were off to a great start. This trip is going to be so awesome!
After checking that we had everything that we needed for the trip, we were on our way. The weather was sunny and perfect for a trip. The sky above us was blue with puffy white clouds. Ace seemed to be in a great mood, and I truly believed that nothing could ever go wrong on this perfect weekend getaway of ours.
