Chapter 1 – Lance

“I love you,” I gush with all the relief that co to say these words aloud I’ve clearly been thinking thees but with all of the obstacles in our way, it’s been impossible Until now “I love you, Veronica I will do whatever it takes to be with you, I will give up everything to be yours Just don’t let o I can’t handle losing you It will kill me”

Veronica pauses briefly and flutters her eye lashes at ood news; she isn’t going to turn ain She wants to be with me too, she wants to be mine

“I love you too” Veronica’s hand touches razes my skin “I love you so much, Jayden”

And then she kisses me, she kisses me with so much locked up passion that itbetween us is palpable, it consumes me whole, it buzzes and creates a world of excitement…

“Cut!” Michael, the director, stops the ic “That was good guys, but we need some more passion from you both Ashley, you need to be more all in”

The actress standing across froue in annoyance I kno she feels, it’s hard when you really think that you have nailed a scene just to have it shot down by the director, but that’s how it has to be Weit froht But perhaps I can be more patient with that because I’m relatively new to Hollywood in the way that I have only been in this crazy busy world for just over two years Ashely was a child star; she has lived this her whole life so she allows her eh far more than I ever would

Still, it’s an honor to be working with her She has a great fan following and will definitely bring a big audience to the movie ill hopefully fall in love with et Of course, that’s the way LA works, the way thewith it Even if working with Ashely is a littlethan I expected it to be Her professionalis within the industry is sometimes a little over shadowed by her out bursts

“This is bull shit, right?” Ashley groans at ht then They have it already, they just want to make us work late to piss me off I shouldn’t let this happen”

“Er…” I don’t knohat she expects me to say to that I’m actually not sure if she needs my response

“It’s alht” She pouts out her botto out one on one, don’t you? We’ve been working together for weeks but we haven’t had a chance to get to know one another properly yet” Her hand glides downout once h this a couple of ti before it beca really blatant “We should, right?”

How do I tell Ashley that I don’t see her that way? That I’ more? How do I express that in a hich doesn’tend of a hissy fit That willfor the fore seeable future Aard and e

Plus, Ashley is known for dating her costars, so I don’t even know if it would be real or just a showht have been here for a couple of years, but I don’t kno to navigate things fully yet

“I don’t think ill be getting anywhere tonight” I smile thinly at Ashely “So, it can’t happen now”

“But you do want to go out with o, is she? “You do want to go on a date so we can get to know one another? We ht have better chemistry if we know each other more”

“H e’re going to start working again But he’s busy His head is in a bunch of papers and he’s not looking at me at all “I could use soh to get a lot of others that I can hang around with”
