《We Weren't Acting》Chapter 16 - Sugar And Salt
Advertisement
(Two Weeks Later)
A lot has happened these past two weeks, let me fill you in.
Me and Chris have been working day and night on the movie, Literally day and night.
Some of my scenes are taken place at night in the book, so that means I have to drink my whole body weight in caffeine.
I once had to dunk my face in a bucket full of freezing ice water to wake myself up more to be able to film my scenes.
Chris and I still haven't filmed any of the romantic scenes yet, only the fun ones where were goofing off with each other.
Our first love scene is tomorrow, to say I'm nervous is an understatement.
I'm tariffed, especially because I'm dating his best friend.
Dante asked me to be his girlfriend officially last week when he took me on a date to the beach.
I said yes because Dante these past two weeks has shown me how big his heart is. You might think when you first see him that he's a heart breaker due to his leather jacket and gold chains around his neck.
However he's proved me wrong, we haven't missed a single day from not being with each other, he texts me goodnight, and good morning, he surprises me by coming over to my condo with food and flowers, he helps me rehearse my lines, and overall, he's just been there for me.
And that's all I could ever ask for.
However since Dante told Chris that we are now a couple, he's been closed off and distant. I've tried talking to him and asking him why he's acting weird, but every time I get the chance to ask, he makes up excuses to leave.
That leaves me staring at his tall muscular figure walking away, like an idiot with my mouth open like a fish.
I'm getting pretty pissed off, it's been two weeks of Chris ignoring me.

I'm not going to lie and say the thought hasn't crossed my mind that he could be jealous of Dante.
But why does the thought of Chris being jealous make me feel like I have butterflies in my stomach?
No, no, I can't have feelings for someone else and already be in a relationship with someone else!
I'm a horrible human being,
But I can't help but have feelings for Chris and Dante.
However those feelings for Chris have to go away, and I know just the person to call to slap me back to reality.
I grab my phone before dialling his number.
"Hey sugar," I greet as he picks up.
"Hey salt," he replies dryly.
"I think you're the one who's salty Mr. grumpy pants," I scoff with a playful roll of my eyes, that he can't see.
He chuckles over the line, "You interrupted me, I'm working out."
Over the phone, I can hear him breathing like a cow struggling for air, "Think you should continue working out, you sound a little out of shape there," I tease.
"Oh shut up munchkin, not all people have strict eating diets like you, I plan on enjoying my life by eating crap, and working it out later," Marks says proudly.
Mark has never understood that I would love to pig out on junk food, but I make a living on modelling and acting.
That means I have to keep my body in perfect condition, the body that makes all these young girls grow up with insecurities.
However I take it on my behalf on my social media platforms to show people that no matter how much you weigh or if you can see yours rubs through you're stomach, you're beautiful.
Spreading that awareness is important to me because your weight doesn't define you, people need to understand that you're outside appearance doesn't make you beautiful,
It's what's in your heart that makes you beautiful.

"Mark believe it or not I didn't call you to talk about my diet, I need your advice," I say while stirring the pasta that's cooking in boiling water that I'm making myself for dinner.
"So you didn't call me to hear my beautiful voice?" Marks says in a dramatic high pitched tone.
"No, and your voice sounds like a dying seal-"
I'm cut off by Mark dramatically gasping, "How dare you say that about my sexy manly voice," he exclaims.
I quickly pull my phone away from my ear with a wince. "Don't scream in my ear dramatic queen."
"I'm not a queen, I'm a manly king if I do say so-"
I interrupt Marks annoying rambling, "Mark please I need your advice."
"I'm all ears munchkin," he says gently.
Draining the water from the pasta, I scop some pasta and put some in a bowl with some tomato sauce, and sit down on the couch, still talking to Mark over the phone.
I fill him in on everything going on with my relationship with Dante, and how Chris is being distant and avoiding me lately.
"It looks like someone has two admires," He says with a sigh. "What are you going to do?"
I groan and throw my head back on the couch, and run my fingers through my hair, "That's what I called you for."
Mark is quiet for a few seconds collecting his thoughts, "The only thing that I'm going to say is to consider your choices, if you're just with Dante to distract yourself from Chris then I think you're in a relationship with the wrong person," He says deeply.
"I know I'm going to sound like a bitch by saying this, but I did start seeing Dante as a distraction at first, but now it's more than that, I feel something for him, and Chris," I say frustrated while pacing my living room.
"I'm glad I'm not in your situation that's for sure," Mark says lowly.
"Thanks for the help shit head, I have to go and drown my sorrows in something healthy," I exclaim, "I hate being a model," I mutter before I hang up the phone not before hearing Marks laughs over the line.
I stride over to my big leather couch and dramatically throw myself on it while throwing my arm over my eyes.
Marks right I'm in a poopy situation.

The year is 1959, and for its very first time, Welton Academy Boarding School is now accepting female students. Violet Ross is not only one of those girls, but the only girl in the graduating class. She feels as though she must face her fears entirely alone, until she comes across a quirky group of boys. Also known as The Dead Poets. Violet soon finds herself becoming rather close with one in particular..."I'm not entirely sure I even knew what constituted 'love,' until I had met him. Now the mere thought of him made me ache to be with him, to look at him, to touch him. I couldn't quite put my feelings into words. Even as I try, few seem to suffice. An entire sea of ink could not adequately describe my feelings towards him. It was almost as if all the stars in the sky were condensed into a single, twinkling one. The only words I felt could convey some of what I felt for him, easily fell from my lips. ' I love you, too.'"
