Blond And Brunette

3

Today was the day. The day that would be recorded on the walls of my heart.

Wednesday.

In exact twelve minutes, we would start recording and for the next twenty four hours, I'd be his girlfriend, fake or not, his girlfriend. The dream of hundreds of other Talon's fangirls, just like me. The only difference? I get to live it.

Thanks to my cousin, Celeste.

"Jackson's here!" Celeste exclaimed and my eyes diverted towards the door.

We were waiting for Jackson— their cameraman to arrive for the shoot to begin and now that he was here... Oh heavens!

Shit. Shit. Shit.

I am nervous.

"Alana?" His melodious voice reach my ears and I take him in, all of his features, all of him because I don't know if I'd ever be able to see him again after today.

"Yes?" My voice merely a whisper, indicating my shy nature.

"Are you ready?" He asked being the gentleman he is to which I nodded.

There were five of us currently present in the cafe located near my apartment. By five I mean, Talon and I, God, I love how it sounds, Celeste and a guy called Drew who was one of Talon's close friends who would portray her boyfriend for the day and Jackson, ofcourse.

"Let's get rolling then." Talon and Celeste put on some really big smiles on their faces as the camera started rolling. Apparently, they had already filmed the intro and now it was our introductory part. They had already started filming, but my mind was elsewhere, filled with overthinking, how the audience would react to me and all the nonexistent hate comments started swirling inside my brain. Only when I heard my name being spoken, I came out of my trance.

"She is Alana, my cousin, my best friend, my soul sister and also Talon's girlfriend for the day." My heart warmed up at those words and a small smile appeared on my lips as well as some colour rose to my cheeks hearing the words Talon's girlfriend.

Heavens, I was so excited for today!

I get to live my dream!

"We both have different plans with our partners, we have many different things lined up, so let's get started!" Usually, I was the one to watch all this sitting before the screen and to watch all this live was something really new and a very exciting experience for me.

"You take Jackson with you, I'll shoot by myself." Celeste suggested and Talon nodded in agreement.

Very soon, we parted ways. The camera was off as we walked towards Talon's car. He pulled the door open for me and I mumbled a small thank you with a blush, obviously. Once we were comfortable, I realised that Jackson wasn't seated in the car. I looked up at Talon in confusion who was busy setting up the vlog camera on the car desk.

"Where is Jackson?" I asked.

"He will meet us at my house." He replied with a small smile.

"What are we doing right now?"

"Just a fun little game." I nodded my head and remained quiet, letting him finishing up the setup and whatever. Not even two minutes later, he announced that he was ready and the camera has started rolling.

"I have Alana here with me—" he said, pointing his hands towards me and I waved a little, mumbling a small hi, forgive me for being camera shy, before he continued, "—my girlfriend for twenty four hours and we are going to play a little game where for every answer she gets wrong, she has to do a dare."
