《Nothing Lasts Forever》28. Cast Interviews
Advertisement
I adjust the floral dress that I am currently wearing.
I wasn't having one of the best mornings today.
When I was trying on clothes to wear I heard a voice in my head whisper about my body insecurities and how gross I appeared in the clothes.
Hunter quickly caught sight of this and convinced me that I do not look as horrible as I think I do in dresses.
Hunter and I are about to do a quick livestream to promote and get people excited for the movie.
This was my new manager's idea that the two of us just agreed to.
She even went as far as to rent out a studio for the hour and decorate it so that it looks like Hunter and I are sitting in an aesthetically pleasing living room.
"Are you okay?" Hunter asks
I smile at her and nod my head.
"Are you sure?" She asks with a skeptical tone of voice.
I bring one of my hands up to rest against her cheek before I lean my face closer towards hers, placing a gentle yet lingering kiss against her lips.
"I promise that I'm okay" I whisper against her lips.
I press my lips against hers once more before pulling away as I hear someone approaching us.
"Sorry that I had to step away for a moment, I was just finalizing all of the times for your interviews today" my new manager informs the both of us.
Wow! She is entirely different than Nicole.
Nicole wouldn't have even told me why she left, she would have just left and probably not have even came back.
"Thank you so much! I appreciate you and all that you do for me." I assure her.
My manager smiles at me.
"It's no problem, I'm just here to listen to your goals and help you achieve them." She promises.
"Are we ready to start?" She asks the director.
The director nods their head.
"I'm ready whenever you are" they answer.
A few more minutes go by before we actually begin to go live though.
"Hi guys, my name is Delaney-" I introduce myself before motioning towards Hunter.
"And I'm McKenna." She introduces herself.
I notice how a majority of the comments are shocked, or even surprised, that the two of us are hanging out together.
"McKenna and I are here today to answer some of your questions in honor of our movie coming out in a week."
I lean forward and accept the clear bowl from an employee that contains strips of paper with pre-approved questions written on them.
As I lean back against the couch again I feel Hunter attempt to slyly sneak her arm behind my lower back, eventually resting her hand over my hip.
I smile as I feel her use this opportunity to slide me impossibly closer towards her.
"Do you want to pick first?" I ask Hunter
I turn to look into her eyes only to find out that she is already looking at me with an intense facial expression.
Hunter hums as her eyes glance down towards the bowl.
"I think that I'll do the next one" she answers.
I nod my head, understanding her answer.

I reach my hand into the large bowl, mixing the question's around a bit before grabbing ahold of one of the pieces of papers.
I use both of my hands to open the piece of paper.
"Do your characters kiss in the movie?" I read out the question.
Hunter chuckles.
"I don't know, do we?" The raven haired girl teases as she turns her head to face me.
"Uhm-" I try my best to think of an answer.
I feel my cheeks begin to burn at all of the attention that is currently on me.
"Our characters are really good friends" I nod my head.
I hold the bowl out for Hunter, placing the piece of paper beside me on the couch.
Hunter grabs a piece of paper from the bowl.
She settles for opening hers with one hand.
"What was the hardest scene to film?" She reads out.
Hunter hums as she places the piece of paper beside her on the couch.
"I think that the stunts were pretty challenging to execute the first few times" Hunter answers.
I nod at her answer.
"I'd say that the hardest scenes for me to film were the night scenes because most of them were filmed around one in the morning when we had already been on set all day" I say.
"Yeah," Hunter laughs.
"I remember that one morning that we were all so loopy that we just kept laughing whenever anyone said something even remotely funny."
I laugh as I remember the night that she is referring to.
We got yelled at a lot that day.

"And now for the final question," I say I retrieve the last question from the bowl
Hunter takes said bowl from me, making me smile at her.
I quickly thank her before opening the folded piece of paper.
"What was your favorite scene to film?" I read out
Hunter smirks at this question.
"The sleeping beauty scene" she says, understanding that the people watching the live stream will not understand the joke.
I roll my eyes at her answers.
I knew that she was going to say that.
"I really liked filming the scene where your character gets arrested. I feel like it really showcased our range?" I answer
I have no clue if Hunter's character being arrested was even in the promotional material.
Hopefully I did not spoil anything.
"This is the end of the livestream. Thank you to those of you who asked questions! Our movie 'Long Story Short' is premiering in theaters next week!" I promote
It is completely silent for a total of five seconds before the person behind the camera speaks up.
"And we're out." They inform.
I thank an employee as she comes over to retrieve the bowl and strips of paper.
"You were amazing, babe" Hunter smiles.
I smile too when she softly pecks my cheek.
"You were amazing as well." I compliment her back.
Unable to stop myself I lean in an press my lips to hers.

For this interview I just found out that they need Hunter, Wesley and I instead of just Hunter and I.
I have not seen that asshole since the faux date where he basically manipulated me.

Wesley is the human personification of everything that I hate about Hollywood.
"Are you going to be okay? I can punch him in the face if you want?"
I smile at Hunter's suggestion.
"While I appreciate the offer I am unfortunately going to have to reject" I tell her as we enter the filming set through a large red door
Hunter and I follow the guard who is currently leading us towards the correct set.
The three of us pass by at least three different film sets before ending up in front of a pink set that has a large white couch with a wooden table inside of it.
"This is the set where you will be interviewed today" the security guard tells Hunter and I before rushing off in the direction that we came from
Okay. He seems to be in a rush.
As I turn to face the set my eyes land on Wesley who is currently sitting on the far left of the couch.
I have to take a deep breath in order to calm myself.
I make my way up the stairs and onto the set making my way towards the far right of said couch.
"I hope you know that my team and I will be suing you" the blonde informs me
I roll my eyes at his threat.
"Do whatever you want Wesley" I tell him as Hunter takes the middle seat
Though she is sitting in the middle she is sitting closer to me than Wesley.
"Breach of contract...you're going to be locked up for at least five years" he chuckles
I turn to face him, giving him a disgusted facial expression.
"What is wrong with you?" I question
"You're only doing this because I called you out on your massive pile of bullshit!" I grit
Wesley glares at me.
"I couldn't care less about your theories, I care that you costed me my money" he lies to my face
I glare back at him.
"If you're going to continue lying to my face I'd appreciate it if you just left me alone."
Not even thirty seconds after I finish talking a woman walks up to us with a clipboard in hand.
"Hi! I'm Emily and I'll be your director for the day." She kindly introduces herself
"You three are going to be playing a fun game called 'flirting battle' where two costars have to flirt with another costar and try to out flirt the other. The costar being flirted with will have to rate the flirts on a one to ten scale," Emily explains
"The two costars who will be flirting have to blindly pick the pick up lines from a bowl and execute them. We encourage you both to go all out but you can do whatever makes you feel comfortable,"
"Okay," Emily sighs as she glances down at her clipboard
"McKenna and Wesley, you will be the one's picking from the bowl while Delaney will be the one being flirted with."
Emily explains that she needs Hunter and I to switch seats in order to make everything "easier".
Another ten minutes go by before we begin filming.
"Hi! We're the cast of 'Long Story Short'." The three of us say in sync
"Today we're going to be playing 'flirting battle'" I say
"Wesley and I are going to flirt with Delaney and be scored on our delivery" Hunter adds
The three of us are silent as we wait to be handed a bowl of pick up lines.
Once we are handed the bowl the director voices that she wants Wesley to start off.
"Delaney, do you play soccer?" He asks
I shake my head.
"Because you're a keeper" he finishes
I furrows my eyebrows at his pick up line.
"Zero out of ten" I say
Hunter chuckles at this.
"What?!" Wesley exclaims
"You delivered that so awkwardly!" I laugh along with my girlfriend
Hunter retrieves her paper from the bowl.
She scans over the piece of paper before meeting my eyes again.
"I must be in a museum" she starts off
I raise an eyebrow at her.
"Why?" I question
She brings one of her hands up to tuck some of my brunette hair behind my ear.
""Because you're a work of art" she flirts
A big, cheesy smile makes its way onto my face as I feel butterflies hoard my lower stomach.
"Eight out of ten" I say
Wesley scoffs at my answer.
"Come on! Her's was so cheesy!" He complains
I turn to face him.
"Yeah, but she didn't deliver it like she was delivering a high school presentation" I state
Wesley wants to argue further with me but chooses not to, instead leaning forward and retrieving a paper from the bowl.
"I saw a flower this morning and it was the most beautiful thing that I've ever seen...until I met you" he flirts
I cringe at his pick up line.
"One out of ten" I rate
He groans with annoyance at this but says nothing further.
Hunter grabs a paper from the bowl and reads her pick up line.
"You're my favorite weakness" she says
The way that she says it hits me in the chest.
I feel like she genuinely means this just going off of her tone of voice.
"Eighty-one out of ten" I smile
I wish that I were able to kiss her right now.
Though people may have their suspicions that we are dating the two of us have not necessarily confirmed it yet.
Thankfully that is going to change soon.
I already picked out and ordered a ring, now I'm just waiting for it to arrive at the jewelry store.
-
"If you were a cucumber you'd be a cute-cumber"
I gag at this.
"Ew! Negative one out of ten" I tell Wesley
His jaw drops with shock.
"Delaney!" He exclaims
"It's not my fault that you are horrible at flirting" I state
I turn to face Hunter, awaiting her pick up line.
"If I were a cat I would spend all nine of my lives with you" she speaks
Awe!
"One thousand out of ten" I say
"Oh come on! This thing is rigged!"
When they reveal the scores and who won it comes to no surprise when it turns out that Wesley lost and Hunter won.
"Congratulations" I clap for her
Wesley claps for her as well but you can tell that he is still bitter.
The camera cut soon after we congratulate her.
Hunter and I waste no time as we stand up from the couch and make our way off the set, away from Wesley.

Gladiator✔️
His chest glistened with water droplets dribbling down the glowing bronze skin. Resting, his strong muscular back against the rocks on the lake side, head lulled backwards, onyx eyes closed in utter salvation."Your spying on me is utterly useless young tulip." Ink eyes opened, resting upon my little frame making me freeze."What are you thinking? You have got this one chance....run away." He offered his eyes watching my each and every movement like a hawk."I am a prisoner sire, I have heard stories....tales of how war prisoners are mercilessly butchered if they are caught and I can't afford to die....not yet...I have someone to feed and I will do anything for them.""Anything?" He asked in eerily calm voice. I nodded slowly a lump forming in my throat as my eyes glistened with tears with the scenes of men using my eighteen year body flashed infront of me making me tremble.Water splashed around as he rose to his full height inside the lagoon, his eyes solely focused on me, his feet moving forward, closing our distance altogether."Azarios" I stiffened, my eyes snapping to his in utter surprise as I heard the name leaving his plump lips.His identity, the name which echoed throughout the dynasty making every living soul shudder.KillerCommanderBeastHe was the commander of Gladiators.Azarios, the Gladiator of Ambrose."You will be the bride of mine." "You are my enemy, my contender, the person I hate with everything....every fibre in my soul." she fumed."Too bad then... you are the person I love with every cell in my body."*No toxic relationship*
