My Fake Actor Boyfriend

7: What happened/1,5 years ago part 5

After lunch I do three more scenes for the movie.. all of them taking place before the kissing scene. I have to flirt with Asher and send him longing glances, which I am honestly finding really easy to do.. and to my delight, the director keep praising me.

 When I am finally done for the day, I go down to the makeup department and change into my own clothes. It feels good to undo the braids, letting my hair fall down over my shoulders, after rufling it up. It is a nice feeling to be myself again.

 When I am walking towards the exit I am suddenly pulled into a kind of alley between two building.. a gasp of surprise escapes me, but I swallow the scream, when Asher put a finger on my lips.

 "Oh s**t, you f*****g scared me". I scold him, breathing hard.. I am slightly unsure what he want.

 He flashes me a sweet smile. "I just wanted to say goodbye.. with no one watching us.. unfortunately I have a lot more scenes left to shoot today".

 I feel the butterflies again.. even though I know it’s silly..but when he lean in, kissing me very softly but passionately, they go totally bonkers, making me slightly dizzy.

 "It feels a little more legal kissing you now.. when you look like you are actually old enough". He say grinning, before kissing me again.

 I feel light-headed and slightly out of breath when he lets go of me.. I have a hard time believing that this is really happening.. it’s like a romance novel or a movie.

 "I got to get back now.. but I see you tomorrow right ?" He wink at me, and slide out from our hiding place. After ten seconds I peak out.. watching him walk back to the set whistling.

 I hurry home to Victoria's apartment.. she had let me borrow her small handy car, and I am very happy not to have to get a cap or public transportation.

 I park in the basement, finding myself halfway dancing into the elevator.. I am feeling so happy and elated as I walk into the penthouse apartment, calling out. "Honey I am home".

 "I am in the kitchen.. so get you pretty little behind out here and tell me everything". Victoria yell back, but suddenly I am uncertain how much to share.. what will she think of me if I tell the truth ?

 I hurry into the kitchen, feeling all giddy and a little nervous that I can’t hide this feeling inside my stomach..Victoria is sitting with a cup of tea in her hand, and I grab a cup, pouring myself some. "Wow, it has been a crazy day..like you won’t believe..".

 "How did it go ? Did you shoot some of your scenes ? Did you meet Asher ?" Victoria is watching me curiously and I feel my cheeks heating up.

 I take a slow, long sip of the way to hot tea..almost burning myself, while trying to find the right words. "Yeah..and I think it went well. At least your uncle kept telling me it was good.. he is a nice guy, your uncle".

 "Well yes yes.. but know to the important part, how was Asher? Did you get to kiss him yet ?" Victoria look very excited, almost bouncing in her seat.

 "Uhm yeah.. it was the very first scene, I only just have a chance to say hi to him before having to almost jump him". I know I can’t hide the fact that my cheeks are getting pretty heated from the memories.

 Victoria is now clapping her hands. "How was it ? Is he a good kisser ? Isn't he just like super dreamy ?"

 "Oh.. dreamy does not even cover it, he is just perfect, and holy s**t he can kiss... like.. oh wow.. Your uncle had to yell cut three times". I giggle and feel the butterflies flutter again.. Maybe I can tell her.

 Victoria is suddenly looking at me with concern. "Uhh Melina.. I don't wanna be a party pooper, but before you get to infatuated.. he is way to old for you luv, he is like 37".

 "I am not getting infatuated Victoria, and after tomorrow I probably never see him again". Okay I can’t tell Victoria, that’s pretty clear.. at least not before I am sure there is going to be something between us.. personally I can live with him being 13 years my senior.

 Victoria seems to relax a bit, smiling at me again. "Good.. because I don't wanna see you get hurt sweetie.. also he is married you know right ?"

 It is kinda like getting hit by an iron clad fist right in the stomach.. the butterflies falling down frozen to dead.. of course I saw the ring, but I had thought it was part of the costume.

 I feel so stupid and naive, I had certainly fallen for his scheme.. I did what every dumb new blonde in Hollywood did.. thought I was something special.. I should have know something like that was too good to be true.

 “Probably won’t last though.. rumours say he has a hard time keeping away from.. other women.. if you know what I mean..”. Victoria suddenly stop, looking at me with concern again. "Something wrong Melina ? You just got really pale". 

 I know I am breathing fast.. mostly I feel like throwing up.. there is few things I hate more than infidelity.. my mother has been alone with me from I were a baby.. struggling.. all because my father couldn't keep his d**k in line.

 I would never ever have done anything with him, had I known he is married.. who the hell does he even think he is ? I feel sorry for his wife.

 I close my eyes, she can’t admit to Victoria what I did.. never, it is simply to embarrassing. "I am just a bit tired.. it has been a long and eventful day.. I think I will go relax.. if it’s okay".

 I hurry into my room, throwing myself down on the bed.. so this is what Hollywood is really like.. cheating and exploiting others.. I promise myself to never be that naive again.
