《Nothing Lasts Forever》21. Cautious
Advertisement
There is a rumor going around that there is going to be a child on set today.
This supposed child is going to be playing my adopted daughter, who I legally did not adopt, but instead found in an abandoned daycare.
All I have to say about this is that Elaine has an insane life.
I slyly fix my dress due to its short length.
I am currently dressed in a thin, flowy white dress that ends around my mid thighs. The top of the dress resembles that of a corset or bustier, especially with the way that it sucks everything in while also making my boobs pop. The flowy sleeves are slightly see through as they pool around my wrists. They gave me a basic pair of black converse to wear with it, styling my brunette hair in spiral curls.
I try my best not to laugh at the humorous faces that Hunter is making into her cellphone's camera.
Hunter and I are currently in the castle's kitchen set since it leads towards the set where we are filming our next scene.
After Gigi called for a lunch break Hunter practically hunted me down for her head massage that I forgot to give her a few days ago.
Due to there being more extras on set today than there usually is we settled on this set due to it being the only empty one.
Albeit this set being empty from people there are still a few hidden cameras in here.
I have no clue if they work or not.
Hunter pouts her bottom lip at me as she tilts her cellphone up to capture me in her video.
"She's laughing at me" Hunter continues to pout
I roll my eyes at the raven haired girl's dramatic declaration.
"No flash photography" I tell her
I remove one of my hands from her hair to shield my face from the camera.
Hunter scoffs at me.
"Now you're camera shy,"
"You weren't nearly as shy when we kis-" Hunter goes to expose
I quickly move the hand that is shielding my face down to firmly cover her mouth.
So far she is very bold today considering the fact that we have only been on set for seven hours.
As I glance at Hunter's face in her cellphone's reflection I notice her costume change from earlier.
Instead of an army like outfit that she was wearing earlier she is now wearing a black long sleeve shirt that exposes a good portion of her midsection. They gave her a similar pair of baggy cargo pants, these having white stitching instead of the matching black stitching. They gave her a pair of chunky black combat boots as well, styling her raven hair into a messy french braid.
I tilt my head down so that my mouth is hidden behind Hunter's head.
"Shhh" I quietly shush her
I use this opportunity of the lower part of my face being hidden to gently kiss the back of her head.
I assume Hunter likes this as she tries to lean her head back further.
Getting the point I move my head back a bit, allowing the raven haired girl to comfortably tilt her head back so that the tip of her nose is pointing up towards the ceiling and her Adam's apple is exposed to the phone camera.
A small smile breaks out onto my face as her brown eyes meet mine.

I hear her mumble something incoherently against the palm of my hand, alerting me that my hand is still covering her lips.
Oops.
I remove my hand from her mouth, moving it down to gently rest against her strong jaw.
"I want another one" she pouts like a kid who was told that they could not have a toy at the store
I raise an eyebrow at her demand.
"You know, I am beginning to think that you have a little crush on me" I whisper into her hair
I glance over at her hands, noticing that she is now tilting her cellphone up towards the ceiling so that it cannot see us.
As I continue to look at her cellphone I realize that she is not recording us but instead doing a livestream.
She appears to be on a secret account due to there only being twenty viewers.
She has over twenty million followers on her verified account, these numbers would not add up in the slightest.
The raven haired girl hums at my accusation causing me to meet her brown eyes again.
"Nah," she says
I have to admit that I am a bit shocked by this.
"It's anything but little."
I immediately furrow my eyebrows at her.
"Are you talking about the size of your crush on me or the size of your dick?" I slowly question
If I am being honest I do not want an answer to that question.
Hunter smirks at the hesitation in my voice.
"Both," she shrugs
I roll my eyes at her.
"Now, are you going to give me another kiss or not?" She whispers
I shake my head at her eagerness.
"You are such a spoiled brat" I joke but gently kiss her forehead nonetheless
The raven haired girl smiles brightly at my joke.
"You can either take it or leave it, Princess" she winks.
-
I climb into a modified dumbwaiter inside of Elaine's closet, the child actress climbing in after me.
"Why are you doing this?" I ask the child as the box slowly eases down
The tiny brunette glances up at me, a sad look on her face.
"I like you, I like her, I like the both of you together," she simply says
I go to ask her another question but the dumbwaiter stops before I get the chance to.
"You have two minutes before the guards come down to check on her, keep your voice low" she says before sliding open the door and hopping out
I claw my way out of the dumbwaiter only to be met with the basement.
Technically it is a set, but I am extremely impressed with how they made it actually work.
I glance around until my eyes land on a black makeshift jail cell.
I immediately rush over towards the raven haired girl when my eyes land on her.
"Genevieve" I whisper as I reach her cell
The raven haired girl glances up at me from the uncomfortable looking bed.
Her brown eyes widen when they land on me.
"Lainey, you shouldn't be here" she hisses as she stands and makes her way towards me
I furrow my eyebrows at her.
"Are you serious?!" I ask
She worriedly glances behind me where the door is located.
"Lainey, you need to get out of here" the brunette tells me with a hard tone
I cannot help the hurt facial expression that graces my facial features.

"No, I am not going to allow her to execute you" I tell her stubbornly
The girl rolls her eyes at me.
"I was the one who pretended to be a man,"
"The law clearly states that I have to be executed" she shrugs
I glare at her.
Is she seriously not going to fight for her life?
"I can help you, I- I can convince my mother to spare your life" I say
The raven haired girl frowns at me, reaching one of her hands outside of the cell to rest against my cheek.
"While I love your optimism, I have no doubt that your mother has already made up her mind" she gives me a sad half smile
I bring my hands up to rest on the bars of her cell.
"One minute" the child whispers from the dumbwaiter
"Genevieve please, how can I help you? I do not want to lose you" I plead, my voice cracking as I try my best to hold back my tears
The raven haired girl haired girl gives me a sad smile.
"You're not going to lose me" she tells me with a tone of assurance
I remove her hand from my face as these words leave her mouth.
"Stop saying that! Just because you say that does not mean that it is true!" I feel my tears threatening to spill
"Thirty seconds!" The child whispers with urgency
The raven haired girl bends down and pulls something out of her boot.
As she brings it closer towards me I notice that it is her backup cellphone.
They must have taken her main one for evidence.
"Call Vivian, she'll explain everything" she tells me
I take the cellphone from her hand from a her hand with a confused facial expression.
"But-" I try to say only for her to cut me off
"Go! Whatever you do, don't tell my family" she tells me
I try to ask her a question again, but the child grabs my arm and drags me towards the dumbwaiter.
"Ten seconds" she says as she begins to jog towards it
Ugh!
I follow her lead, soon climbing into said dumbwaiter.
The child quickly closes the dumbwaiter door and presses the top button as the doorknob to the basement begins to shake.
"Cut!"
I immediately climb out of the dumbwaiter at this signal.
There is absolutely no air in this thing and it does not help that a lot of the space is being taken up by the amount of cameras in there.
After I am completely out I help the child out.
"You were amazing" I compliment her
A small smile breaks out onto her face as she slides out of the small box.
"Thanks, so were you" she says before rushing off towards a woman I assume is her mother
She is by far one of the nicest kids I have ever met considering kids are either brutally honest or just completely ignore you.
I go to turn around to be halted by a pair of arms gently wrapping themselves around my midsection.
I consider elbowing this mystery person in the gut but cease to do so when the scent of cinnamon rolls meets my nose.
"I need to put a bell on you" I joke as I lean back into her hold
Hunter chuckles at my suggestion.
I do not miss the way that she tightens her arms around me the moment I relax in her arms.
Her laughter soon ceases, leaving us in a comforting silence.
"Are you busy today after filming?" She eventually asks
I furrow my eyebrows at her sudden question.
"Not that I am aware of...Why?" I question back
I feel Hunter smile against my head.
"Do you want to come shopping with me? I need new rings."
I instantly become hesitant about her offer.
"I think you're forgetting the last time we went 'shopping' together,"
"Plus the paparazzi are still pretty invested in the idea of catching us making out in public or something" I remind her
The raven haired girl turns me around in her arms so that I am now looking at her face. I rest my arms against her shoulders while she wraps hers around my waist this time around, resting her hands against the curve of my back.
"Come on," she gently tries to encourage me
"Even you have to admit that the paparazzi are beginning to become bored of us,"
"If we wear hoodies and keep our faces hidden then I'm sure they won't even look twice at us" she gives me a small smile
She is kind of right.
I have noticed that the paparazzi are beginning to cool down and not follow me every single time I go out.
With that being said there are still some of them who are going stronger than ever.
It is quite ridiculous honestly.
If Hunter and I wore hoodies then we may be able to actually get a decent amount of shopping done before we inevitably get hounded down.
"I will go jewelry shopping with you if agree to get us a bodyguard" I tell her with a pointed look
I am not going to to be stuck in a department store for hours at a time just because we decided to be ambitious and go shopping without a bodyguard, again.
Hunter brings her face slightly closer towards mine so that her nose is almost touching mine.
"Deal" she agrees
I smile at her playfulness.
-
Hunter and I meet at the gate before making our way towards the parking lot.
I assume that we are going to have to come back and get our cars when Hunter begins to lead us over towards a blacked out SUV.
The closer that we get towards said SUV a man on the more muscular side exits the drivers side.
"McKenna King?" He asks
Hunter raises her hand halfway at this question.
"We just want to go to the shopping square near here" she tells him
I think about the shopping square that she is talking about and the only thing that comes to mind is the one with all high end names.
I guess if you have the money to spend then you deserve to spend it. I just hope that she does not accidentally go too overboard with her spending.
The muscular man nods his head, seemingly knowing the shopping square that she is referencing.
He opens the car door for us.
I thank him for this as I am the first to climb into the back seat, sliding until I reach the other side.
Immediately after I reach my seat Hunter slides into the SUV right next to me.
Once the two of us are completely inside of the vehicle the bodyguard closes the car door behind us before making his way around said vehicle towards the driver's door.
I seriously hope that nothing gets out of hand tonight.
