And I would have to agree with the merits of forbidden love. It was addicting. And I was pretty sure that would be the exact label Alexis would put on my growing feelings for Kate.
"Anyway, they fall in love, or at least they fall inlike, and then they come up with a plan to escape from the real bad guy."
"So what part are we working on today?" I certainly wouldn't mind working on a kissing scene…
Kate shrugged, scrolling through her script. There were highlighted parts here and there.
"It's all kind of a mess right now." She stopped at a spot that had a lot of highlights and red font. I read the words before me.
TREVEN
(Taking Misty into his arms.)
I'm trying to keep you safe. You need to just trust me.
MISTY
(Trying to get away from Treven)
How can I trust you when you're the reason I'm here?
"Hey, that part looked interesting," I complained when Kate scrolled past the page before I could read any further.
"That was when they realized they have feelings for each other.” She looked at me, her face flushed. “Wouldn't it be weird to work on that together?"
"You never seemed to mind my help with those kinds of scenes before.” I gave her a half smile.
She scrunched her nose, probably remembering how flirtatious she'd been when we were younger. "That was years ago. I try not to be so out there anymore."
I shrugged, hoping I came off as indifferent. "Well, you can pick a different section if you want. It's your script…but just remember, I'm pretty much a professional at the love thing now… I mean, I did go on a dating show and ended up alone."
My self-deprecation seemed to work because she smiled. "Looks like I'm in good company then."
"You are. So let's figure this part out. It should be fun." At least, it should help me cut away at the barrier we had between us.
"If you're sure you don't mind." She inspected my face, as if guessing whether I was in earnest or not.
I hadn’t been more earnest about something in a long time.
"Let's go for it."
"Okay." Kate scrolled back to the section. "I want this to be a super emotionally charged scene. When I watch movies, I go into them hoping to be moved. So, I want the viewers to feel the tension between these two characters, be worried about how they'll overcome their obstacles, and then cheer when they finally make it through."
"By make it through, you mean…?" I asked, though I was pretty sure of the answer.
Her blush deepened. "They're supposed to kiss."
And I loved how shy she was about saying that last word. Such a contrast to seven years earlier when she'd flat out told me to kiss her.
Yikes, my palms got sweaty just remembering it.
"So this is going to end in a kiss?” I arched an eyebrow.
"That's the plan anyway," she said.
"It's a good thing I brushed my teeth before coming over then, huh?"
Her jaw dropped, her eyes widening. "That's not what I meant!" She slapped my shoulder.
Okay, I'd been nervous to say that last line, but man, those ten seconds of courage had been worth it. Maybe I should try things like that more often.
When she continued to smack me, I locked my hands around her wrists to stop her from making my arm go numb. "I just wanted to see you blush. Stop trying to beat me up."
"And why would you want to see me blush? You like it when my face gets all tight and overheated-looking?"
"Yep. It's pretty much my favorite."
Kate rolled her eyes and turned back to her screen. "You're ridiculous."
"Yeah, well. You haven't seen anything yet."
