I am in the middle of impatiently pacing my trailer only to hear a knock on my trailer door a few minutes later.

I practically rush towards said door, swinging it open.

"Sorry I'm late, I was-" Wesley's voice enters my ears

I cut him off by grabbing ahold of his wrist and pulling him inside of my trailer, practically slamming the door behind him.

"Can you keep a secret?!" I rush out

The blonde haired boy furrows his eyebrows at my unusual mood:

"Yes, why?" He slowly answers

I reach out and grab ahold of his shoulders, not liking the way he answered the question.

"I am being serious Wesley! I need you to swear on your life that you will not tell anyone anything about this conversation beyond this point!"

The blonde haired boy grabs ahold of my biceps and walks us over to the couch, firmly plopping me down on it.

"Delaney, I need you to breathe for me" he tells me as if he were talking to a literal child

"I almost kissed McKenna!" I blurt out before I can stop myself

I immediately bring my hands up to cover my mouth as Wesley's eyes widen with surprise.

There is a long silence between the two of us.

Wesley is silent because he is processing the information that I just gave him.

Me, however, I am silent so that I do not accidentally reveal any more secrets to him.

"McKenna? Like 'McKenna King' McKenna?" Wesley slowly ask as he tries to wrap his mind around it

I furrow my eyebrows at him.

"Yes! How many McKenna's do you think I know?!" I exclaim

Wesley goes silent again causing me to sigh this time around.

"Just- please do not leave her and I alone together!" I stress

The blonde turns to face me.

"Do you know what this means?" He asks

I furrow my eyebrows at his sudden subject change.

I shake my head nonetheless.

"I am so going to win this bet!" He does a fist pump

I scoff at the blonde haired boy.

"You are unbelievable!" I throw my hands up

I stand up from my couch, hurriedly making my way towards my trailer door before he gets the chance to gloat.

I tune out the chuckling boy as I swing the door open to my trailer.

Oh!

I am thoroughly shocked when I notice Hunter standing in front of me, one of her hands raised up as if she were going to knock on said door.

"They need us on set" she informs me with a charming smile

I am frozen in my spot for a few seconds, my feet literally refusing to move.

"I- Uh-" I try my best to start a conversation

As soon as actual words attempt to exit my mouth an image of the actress and I almost kissing flashes in my mind, quickly accelerating my heartbeat.

Ugh! I am absolutely, without a doubt hopeless!

This goes on for about thirty seconds until Wesley decides to cut in.

"Delaney here wants to confirm which scene you two are filming today" He asks

It takes everything in me not to roll my eyes at Wesley's horrible attempt to find out if Hunter and I are filming the kissing scene today.

...Well, one of the kissing scenes.

Hunter's smile instantly turns into a smirk at this question.

"Page one hundred and eight" she answers

My eyes instantly widen at this newfound information.

"The kiss scene?!" I exclaim

No! This cannot be happening! Not today!

-

"You look insane" Wesley laughs as he leans against the kitchen counter

I roll my eyes at him as I continue to vigorously chew on the ten pieces of spearmint gum that are currently in my mouth.

If I am being honest my jaw is beginning to hurt.

I have been chewing this wad of gum for about twenty minutes now.

"I am not going to have my first kiss with her be awkward as hell because I forgot to come prepared" I try my best to enunciate

Wesley furrows his eyebrows with evident confusion.

"What?"

He must not have heard me.

I roll my eyes at him again before making my way off the set and into the room Hunter took me into a few days ago. I eventually found out that they are calling it the 'green room'.

It is by far bigger than any green room I have come across.

As I stroll into said room my eyes immediately gravitate towards the raven haired girl who is perched on the small couch with a script in hand.

She appears to be reading over the scene that we are filming today.

The longer I analyze her facial expression the more I piece together that she truly takes her job seriously.

This may sound shallow, but I thought that with her being an A-lister and just automatically being given lead roles it would all go to her head.

"I can feel you staring at me, Laney" she says as she continues to read through the scene

Her words break me out of quite incessant staring.

I make my way over towards the trash can, holding my hair back and spitting out my wad of gum once I reach it.

"How?" I cannot help but ask as soon as the gum is out of my mouth

I go to walk over to her only to cringe at how dry my lips feel.

Considering I have to kiss her in ten minutes I should probably fix this issue.

I retrieve the vanilla scented lip balm that Wesley gifted me earlier from my pocket and apply it to my dry lips, making sure not to over do it.

"I saw something blue in my peripheral vision, you're the only person on set wearing something blue. It's a no brainer."

I shrug at this before making my way over towards her.

For this scene they wanted me to wear a silk, baby blue nightgown with a matching robe. Both items of clothing end around my mid thigh.

I guess they noticed how uncomfortable I was the first time I had to wear a nightgown on set so since then they have given me a pair of black spandex to wear underneath them.

"I swear I am wearing some form of lingerie on set every other day" I joke as I plop down on the empty cushion next to her

I take this chance to look over what she is wearing.

For this scene they have her wearing a black shirt, black sweatpants, black shoes and a black cap that all of her hair is currently tucked into.

Hmm...I am impressed with whoever was able to tuck all of Hunter's hair in there because she does not have short hair.

"See something you like?" I can practically hear the shit eating grin on her face

I glance down at her face and there was in fact a cocky grin on her face.

I roll my eyes at her cockiness.

She can be such an ass sometimes.

"On you? That is hilarious" I cross my arms at her

The raven haired girl places her script down in her lap, her smirk never wavering as she holds strong eye contact with me.

Me, not scared of her eye contact, stares back at her with equally as much intensity.

"I don't know, it kind of sounds like you have a little crush on me" she teases

My jaw drops at her accusation.

"Please! I do not have a crush on you!" I exclaim

I could have said that a bit quieter but I feel like it would not have showed how serious I am.

She chuckles with amusement at my sudden outburst.

"Okay, I believe you!" She continues to tease me

I push down my urge to prove to her that I do not have a crush on her.

That is just what she wants.

"I think what started off as a crush has morphed into love"

I groan out loudly at her second accusation of the minute.

"I do not love you!" I exclaim

This does not discourage the raven haired girl's advances.

"Oh yeah? Prove it." She challenges

I mimic her overly confident smirk.

"Gladly."

I do not think twice as I bring my cold hands up to rest on each of her cheeks, I give the raven haired girl no time to react as I pull her face closer to mine inevitably leading to our lips gently colliding into each other.

I assume that she is surprised by this bold move judging by the low moan she releases as our lips touch, said moan being muffled.

Butterflies swarm my stomach at this simple reaction from her.

She does not kiss me back immediately which worries me, as I go to pull away from her I feel a warm hand rest against my lower thigh.

I accidentally hum into her mouth as the heat from her hand begins warming my leg.

It actually feels really nice considering how cold it always is in this building specifically.

Hunter uses this chance to playfully nip at my bottom lip.

The butterflies in my stomach do not cease as I shift my hands back so that they are practically cradling the back of her skull.

I use this new hand position to pull her lips against mine even further.

As I do this the two of us instinctively tilt our heads to the right.

A groan of frustration makes its way up my throat when I realize that her stupid hat is preventing me from touching her hair.

I need to do something with my fingers!

I try my best to work around it. This faux patience only lasts a few seconds before I frustratedly push the hat off of her head, not caring where it lands.

Hunter chuckles at my obvious impatience.

I get the feeling that she is going to say something so I pull her lips against mine even more, practically bruising them at this point.

My fingers drift into her hair only to begin gently running along her scalp with my short nails as if it is second nature.

Hunter momentarily forgets to kiss me back as I begin doing this, a muffled moan leaving her mouth.

I chuckle at this as I finally separate our lips and lean our foreheads against each other's, my nails continuing to gently massage her scalp.

"I assume you like that?" I whisper with a small smile

The raven haired girl hums, clearly not entirely listening to me.

"If that's how you kiss your enemies then I'd hate to see how you kiss the people you actually like" she says with a low tone

It is hard but I pick up on a hint of sarcasm as well as amusement in her sleepy tone.

I continue to do this for about two minutes before removing my hands from her raven hair entirely.

This action instantly wakes the tired actress who almost fell asleep on me.

"No sleeping, we have to go film a scene" I remind her with a low tone of voice

The actress sighs with sadness at this.

"What about during break?" She asks

I stand up from the couch as I think of an ultimatum.

"If we can go until lunch without arguing with one another then not only will I give you a head massage, but I will spoon you on this very couch right here" I one up our offer

Even though Gigi has told us to stop arguing on set Hunter and I end up arguing at least once about something stupid.

As of recently though it is more of we will quietly disagree about something for maybe five minutes max before inevitably moving on with our lives.

"Okay, challenge accepted."

-

"I cannot believe you said that in front of your parents!" I quietly exclaim as I wrap foil around a dish of cold spaghetti

The raven haired girl continues to laugh as she washes the glass dishes with a yellow sponge.

"Relax, they know that I'm kidding" she assures me

I turn around to face her, giving her an incredulous facial expression.

"You said and I quote, 'how dare you adopt a child without proposing to me first'," I quote her words from earlier at dinner

This only causes her to laugh harder.

"Who in their right mind says that in front of their parents of all people?! Do you understand that you could be killed for saying that around the wrong person?!" I continue to scold her

I struggle to keep my tears down as I truly embody my character.

The raven haired girl turns around to face me, leaning her hands back against the wooden counter.

"You worry too much" is all that she responds

I continue to give her an incredulous facial expression.

"I worry because I do not want to lose you!" I practically shout

She notices that I am being serious with her which immediately causes her smile to fall, a guilty look replacing it.

She makes her way towards me, using a rag to dry her hands.

My eyes carefully gauge her every movement as she places the rag on the counter once her hands are dry.

"You're not going to lose me, Lainey" she informs me with a promising tone of voice

I nervously bring my bottom lip in between my teeth as I make my way towards her, silently wrapping my arms around her her midsection once I reach her.

I rest my cheek against her chest as I hold onto her.

It takes a lot more energy than you would think to not look straight into a camera that is a foot or two away from your face.

The raven haired girl is frozen for a few seconds before inevitably wrapping her arms around my shoulders.

The two of us just stay like this for awhile.

"You are a huge dummy, you know that?" I eventually sigh out

My best friend laughs at me, not taking my insult seriously.

"I know" she chuckles

My face continues to display that of pure worry.

"You constantly worry me, dummy" I quietly whisper out once she finishes laughing

Due to my effort of trying to hold back my tears my voice cracks halfway through my sentence.

Her hand begins to rub large, comforting circles against the curve of my back.

"I know" she says more seriously this time

I continue holding onto her, tightening my grasp whenever it loosens.

"I am so in love with you that it hurts," I whisper, feeling the sting of my salty tears reach my eyes

I sniffle my nose as I try my hardest to push them back.

"It hurts when you constantly risk your life as if you have nine of them," I say as a few of my tears escape my eyes

They slowly roll down my cheeks before eventually dripping down from my jaw onto the floor.

"You are not a cat" I sniffle my nose again

My best friend continues to rub my back in large circles.

"I know" she responds

I furrow my eyebrows at her and bring my arms up to push her away from me.

This surprises her as she noticeably stumbles back until she hit the edge of the counter.

"Then stop acting like one!" I tell her with a firm tone

Her brown eyes stare into mine with an intense look.

A look that causes my heart to turn into a delightful mess of tingles.

"Stop thinking that you are so fucking invincible because they would not hesitate to behead you," I continue on, tears streaming down my cheeks

The brunette's eyes do not leave mine for a second.

"They do not give a shit about you, about sympathy," I say

"No, all they care about is themselves! It is either you who gets beheaded or them and they would not hesitate to pick you," I point to her

She finally stands all the way up, taking a few steps in my direction.

"I am trying to help you but it feels like you do not care!" I voice

I try my best to ignore the intense amount of tingles I receive as she carefully places her hands on my face.

My heart pounds rather painfully in my chest as she gently runs her thumbs under my eyes, wiping away my tears.

The old ones anyway.

"I am scared," I sniffle

I feel my bottom lip quiver.

"I am scared that one day I am going to wake up and- and you will not be there," I sob with a much softer tone

"I love you! I cannot do this without you!" I continue to sob

She removes her hands from my face and pulls me into her arms.

I do not reject this offer.

I bury my face into her shoulder, my hands coming up to rest on her upper back while her shirt absorbs my tears.

"I know" she whispers as she tries to calm me down

My hands that are on her back grab ahold of her shirt as I continue to sob into the soft cotton of her tee.

The two of us stay like this for a few minutes, Genevieve gently running her fingertips along my spine as I try to get all of my tears out.

It takes a few moments but my tears inevitably stop.

I turn my head so that my cheek is resting on her chest, the air burning my eyes due to me having them closed for so long.

"You are an idiot" I whisper, sniffling my nose afterwards

I glance up at the brunette only to notice her already looking down at me.

"I know," she whispers back

I am sure that I experience a complete out of body experience as I remove my head from her soaked chest.

The brunette haired girl does not remove her hand from my hip as I bring one of mine up to rest on her soft cheek.

She does not flinch away from my hold, if anything she leans into it.

"If you don't want to kiss me...just tell me" she whispers so quietly that I barely catch it

My eyes glance down at her lips as she continues to approach me, not hearing a sound of disapproval.

My bottom lip unconsciously quivers at the sight of her enticing, plump ones.

They almost look like they are taunting me in an indescribable way.

All of the oxygen in my lungs are removed as our lips touch.

It is awkward, the both of us still not used to kissing each other.

The second one is more sure as we quickly begin to grow more confident in ourselves.

My breath hitches as she digs her short nails into my silk cloth covered hips with desperation, pulling me closer to her front rather eagerly.

Our lips effortlessly slide against each other as we relax in each other's arms.

I remove my hand from her back and move it up to rest on her unoccupied cheek, her kisses becoming more rough.

I allow myself to continue kissing her unexpectedly addictive lips for a few more seconds before leaning back in her hold.

Hunter, getting the point, disconnects her lips from mine.

The two of us instinctively rest our foreheads against each other, cheesy smiles plastering themselves on our separated lips.

"At least you are a cute idiot" I softly chuckle

The raven haired girl chuckles with me, her nails still digging into my hips.

"And...cut!" We hear a few seconds later

Hunter and I break apart at this interruption.

"That was amazing!" Gigi practically gushes

I feel my cheeks begin to burn at all of the attention on Hunter and I.

When I say that everyone on set is staring at us I mean every single person.

It is a little overwhelming if I am being completely honest.

"Of course we'll have to get a few more shots just to make sure, but congratulations on basically getting the kissing scene done in one take"

Hunter tilts her head to the side at Gigi's compliment.

"What? You thought it was going to be hard for us?" Hunter jokes

My eyes widen as I instantly catch onto her innuendo.

"Hunter!" I exclaim as I gently smack her bicep

Hunter shrugs, not feeling any remorse.

Unbelievable.

"Ignore her, she is running on little to no sleep" I inform Gigi before grabbing Hunter's hand and dragging her towards the green room

This is the easier option considering our trailers are a farther walk away and we have no clue how long we have until the next scene.

I can only hope that this filming day goes by quickly because I am beginning to feel some of Hunter's exhaustion.
