For Fake and For Real

10. Just 8 Days

Seated in the makeup trailer, she couldn't stop looking at her face. She wondered if she looked different, because she felt like she had changed down to a molecular level thanks to Tim Bradford. But, she couldn't think about it for too long before her makeup artist struck up a conversation.

"So, are the rumors true?" The makeup artist asked.

"What rumors?" Lucy was clueless.

"About you and Tim. Haven't you seen what everyone's saying?"

"No!" She reached for her phone and saw that the notifications had not stopped popping up. Amongst the avalanche of texts, she found Tamara's, because she knew that her friend would have sent at least one article about whatever rumor her makeup artist was referring to, and she was right. She clicked on the article, and her stomach dropped.

CHENFORD PRACTICING FOR THE BIG DAY?

Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen (Chenford) were photographed in the lobby of a hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia (details of where they're staying not released for the sake of their privacy). While checking into their room, Bradford held his "Pretty Little Vampires" star girlfriend in his arms. The smitten couple hasn't shied away from the public eye over the last several months since they started dating while filming 'Galactic Wars' (to be released in theaters November 10th). Many theories are swirling about this most recent public display, and some are wondering if they were checking into their honeymoon suite or simply practicing for their wedding day. No engagement or marriage has yet to be confirmed by the couple, but keep checking TMZ for more Chenford updates.

Lucy scoffed a little at the article, but saw that her texts, voicemails, and social media were filled with well wishes for her and Tim or questions confirming if the supposed engagement is true.

This couldn't be happening. Right now, she had to work, but she planned to deal with this during the first break of the day.

The director called for a 10 minute break, and Lucy immediately grabbed Tim by the wrist and dragged him into one of the trailers.

"10 minutes isn't a lot of time, but we can make it work," he said slyly and bent low to kiss her neck.

"No, Tim, we need to talk."

"What's up? I thought we were good."

"We are, but we need to call our agents and Jackson."

"Did something happen?"

She didn't know how to say it. She didn't think she could say it. "I'm gonna start a conference call," her fingers hurriedly pressed on the screen of her phone to call Nyla.

"Hey, Lucy. Where should I send my wedding gift?" Nyla asked smartly when she answered the phone call.

"Nyla, hold on a second. I'm adding Angela," Lucy replied and dialed Angela, refusing to dignify Nyla's inquiry with a reply.

"Morning, Mrs. Bradford. Are you planning on changing your name with the Screen Actors Guild?" Angela questioned just a little too smugly.

Before Lucy could even entertain a response, she heard Jackson chuckling.

"Jackson, are you with Angela?" Lucy inquired.

"After this news broke, we got together to talk about this over coffee. Nyla is on her way, too," Jackson explained with a smile that everyone could hear.
