Sheo's Story

Chapter Ten

Shai's POV: Theo's still holding my hand when Neil gets up to explain what we'll be doing. I don't let get because it's helping me stay calm, he's so strong. Neil leans on the desk and says "right, we'll be doing the big kiss scene, to see if it looks right, no awkward tension or anything like that. Is that okay?" Me and Theo looked at each other and both knew we had to say yes otherwise Neil would rethink his decision about us. We both nodded and he said "okay, me and Veronica are just going to talk to the other staff to let them know we won't be available for a bit, that'll give you two chance to talk." Theo looks at me worried, so I try to keep a strong face so he doesn't have second thoughts. I don't know why but I want to kiss him, I know it's on set and it's for a movie but I'm so attracted to him. It's insane. I hold his other hand so we're facing each other and whisper "you'll be great" like he did to me earlier. I see a smile come across his face and feel one on mine too. We're looking into each other's eyes quite deeply when Neil walks in "woah guys, you don't have to start yet!" He says winking at us and we both let go of each other's hands and laugh. I wish Neil didn't come in, that moment was perfect. Veronica follows and they sit down, "okay," he says, "you may start." Theo has to say a paragraph, about how he doesn't want to be just one thing, I look at him, admiring his passion for acting. He's suddenly so confident when he's acting, like a new person. He finishes his lines and our faces are close, a gives me a small smile and begins to lean in. I have butterflies in my stomach, and feel my hands beginning to sweat, it takes me a second to remember I'm actress, this is my job. I need to stay professional. I lean in too, fitting our lips together, and wrap my arms around his neck, he puts his hands on my back pulling me closer, and I can't help but wish this was real. I wish this wasn't Four and Tris, Theo and I. The kiss lasts a while and Neil calls stop. He has a massive grin on his face, and Veronica is clapping in the corner. "Such chemistry between you two, it's amazing, you've known each other a matter of days, it's just... Amazing" Neil exclaims. I laugh and put my hand up to high five Theo, and he does the same. We both seem more relaxed now that's over, we have a sort break then we have training again. I'm a little upset that's finished.

Theo's POV:  

That was perfect. Although she probably didn't want to kiss me it felt like she did, and even Neil said it looked good. Me and Shai look good together and I want her to know. We're about to go meet our training group and I remember to make an effort with Miles. We walk in together and Miles walks towards us, for Shai. Miles laughs and says "what have you guys been up to huh? You're both blushing like crazy." Shai explains and it makes me smile, but as soon as Miles finds out his voice becomes cold, I think with envy. He walks away saying no more and leaves Shai confused. She looks at me as if to ask what's going on so I just shrugged. I walked over to the guy playing Eric, and introduced myself. "Hey, I'm Theo, you're playing Eric right?" I put my hand out for him to shake it and he does, "Jai, good to meet you." Shai and Zoë are already acting like best friends and they're getting to know Ansel. I met him yesterday, he's a nice guy. I spent the whole of training with Jai, because he was quite alone, and Miles trained on his own with a punch bag ignoring our instructor. What's got into him? He did ask what we'd been doing. Shai keeps glancing over at me and I pretend not to notice. She said she wants to take me to the woods later, I think I'll tell her then, or not.
