《We Weren't Acting》Chapter 34 - Nosy Karen

"Let's get this show on the road!" Liam exclaims from where he sits in his director chair behind the cameramen. "Chris give me a brief summary of the scene we're filming today."
"Good morning to you too," Chris grumbles, "Today's scene is when Oliver comes home drunk, sneaks into Lola's-" Chris coughs awkwardly to cover his mistake.
I Look away from the knowing gazes awkwardly.
"I mean Oliver sneaks into Sky's bedroom and starts an argument, that leads to them having a screaming match in the middle of the night, Sky's parents hear and quickly rush in. They get upset that Oliver is in Sky's bedroom at night, they accuse them of things they have not done. That leads to them not being able to be around each other, Oliver then proceeds to try and make Sky jealous so he makes out with a girl in front of Sky." He finishes, short of breath from all the talking he just did.
Oh did I forget to mention that Chris has to do a kissing scene with another girl today?
Yes, that's right another girl other than myself is going to have her nasty lips on my man's.
How do I feel about this you ask?
Frickin murderous...
It's going to take everything I have in me not to wrap my arms around her neck and strangle her away from him.
I knew this would come eventually, I just need to accept it now... but it doesn't mean that I like it.
The whole reason why I denied my feelings for Chris in the first place is because were coworkers, and the fact that were actors, and we'll have to do scenes like this with other people.
That could either make a relationship or break it.
I hope to God that it won't break us.

Chris and I are not an official couple yet, we just have a better understanding of our feelings for each other now.
I'm hoping he asks me soon though, I don't want to share him with any other girl.
I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I feel someone's elbow jab in the side of my rib, I look over to the culprit and finding a smirking Chris, "Sorry" he mouths.
"What was that for?" I grumble rubbing my now sore rib.
"I asked you a question, but your in another universe over there," Liam sternly says.
I give him a nervous laugh, "Sorry can you repeat your question."
"Did you get everything Chris said or should we have him repeat everything he said."
"Please don't," Chris whispers in my ear from where he stands behind me.
I clear my throat, getting slightly bothered by his hot breathe on my neck. "I got everything he said, Liam."
"Okay good, everyone who's in the scenes goes and gets their hair and makeup done. See you all in an hour." He says before walking out of the room.
I smile at Chris as we start walking towards the makeup room.
"Hey," He says lowly, giving a wave to the hairstyles that does his hair, as we pass her in the hallway.
"Hey."
"How are you?"
"I'm okay," I say and give him a small smile.
Chris throws me a glare, "You might've fooled other people with your lies, but not me."
I halt my steps and lean against the wall as Chris moves to stand directly in front of me.
"I'm not loving the idea of you having to kiss another girl today," I explain. "I feel like I just got you, I don't want to lose you."

"Butterfly, have you not heard a single thing I've said since the beginning ?" he whispers looking intensely at me, he breaks our gaze to look down the hallway, making sure no one's around before stepping closer to where I stand to close the distance between us.
"Kissing another girl is not going to change the way I feel about you." He says before he places a sweet kiss on my lips.
He quickly steps back when we both hear footsteps echoing from across the hall. "Remember that, okay?" he whispers as we both continue our journey to the makeup room.
"Okay."

"What's going on with you and Chris honey?" Karen my makeup artist asks as she applies foundation on my olive complexion.
"Nothing why?"
She shrugs and grabs the concealer and daps the wet liquid under my eyes, "You guys seem close that's all."
"Well we are in a movie together, that does bring people closer, he's a really good friend," I explain as she starts on my eyelashes.
"You can tell me, dear, if you two are more than friends."
"Were not." I defend.
Why the heck does she want to know so bad?
Don't people know what the word no means nowadays?
"Kissing your coworker doesn't seem that friendly now does it?" she replies snarkily.
Say what now?
"Excuse me?" I say turning around and facing her.
"I'm just saying it's part of the contract."
I scoff, "This isn't any of your business."
"Oh honey don't worry about me, I won't tell your little secret, it's safe with me." She says with a smirk. "Now go get your outfit and put it on, you're expected to start filming in five minutes."
Why do I feel like something bad is going to come out of this interaction I'm having with Karen?
***
"Quiet on set!" Liam calls, "Slate in, sound rolling, camera rolling."
"Action!"
With that call, I'm now snapped into the role of Sky.
The cameramen move in different directions to get better angles of me and Chris.
"CUT," Liam says.
"Lola the next scene you are to walk down the fake stairs to the fake door and open it for Chris, you two will continue your lines until I call out 'cut'."
"Got it," I call back to him.
"Quiet on set!" Liam calls, "Slate in, sound rolling, camera rolling."
"Action!"
***
"CUT!" Liam yells.
"Amazing so far guys were going to take the scene from outside the bedroom door."
Once both of us are standing outside Sky's fake bedroom door, Chris turns to me. "Great job partner."
"Not too bad yourself," I tease blowing him a kiss.
He extends his hands in the air and pretends to catch my kiss, and he slams his hand over his lips.
This man just keeps getting better and better.
"Quiet on set!" Liam calls, "Slate in, sound rolling, camera rolling."
"Action!"
Me and Chris are snapped back into the room of our characters, I help the man playing drunk into my bedroom and lay him on my bed, on his back.
"
"CUT!"
