A Celebrity and a Hero

Chapter 14

Crystals POV
"What?" I said shocked. I'm on the phone. "You need to get out of there. I don't have time to explain." The guy said. "Well you're gonna have to explain! I don't understand!" I exclaimed. "Twenty seven, you need to leave. Abort your mission." He said. "But what about eighteen. The gang captured her!" I replied. "That's what I'm saying! Agent eighteen is a demon!" He snapped. My eyes widened. "You need to leave!" He said. I gripped my phone and my hand shook in my anger. "No. Sorry boss but I'm finishing this mission, with or without eighteen" I hung up. "Cut! Good job Crystal" the director said. I gave him a thumbs up. Julia ran over to me. "Nice job" she said. "Thanks" I smiled. "We have to do the sex scene soon. You nervous?" She asked. "Not really. You?" I asked. "Fuck yes! I'm terrified" she said. We laughed. "Don't be. Everything will be fine. I didn't think demons got scared" I said. Her tail whipped around behind her in irritation. "Common misbelief. Demons, just like everyone else, cry, get scared, sad, and fall in love. Yes, most demons are assholes, but not all of us." She snapped. "Sorry. I didn't mean to offend you" I said. She shrugged. "I don't expect you to know any better. Its just annoying sometimes" she said. "Ill see you around" I smiled nervously. She nodded and walked away.

I came home and dropped my shit on the kitchen counter as always. Jace ran out of the bedroom and hugged me. I laughed. "I missed you too" I said. She pulled away and put her hands on my shoulders. "I need you to make me forget about today" she said. "What? Why?" I asked. "Because four people asked me out. Four people! Not because they liked me, but because they wanted to meet you" she said, irritated. I stared at her for a moment. "Would you have said yes if it wasnt for me?" I asked. "What? No! Its just irritating" she groaned. I laughed. "Relax babe. They want what you have, but they'll never get it" I said. I walked into the bedroom and she followed close behind. "What's that mean?" She asked in the doorway.

Jaces POV
She held a collar with a long chain connected to it. "Oh" I realized what she meant. "You still wanna forget?" She asked. I gulped and nodded. "I have to do the infamous sex scene tomorrow. I might as well practice tonight. You wanna help me run lines puppy?" She asked ending in a baby voice. I blushed hard. I nodded fast and she walked to me. She clipped the collar around my neck and yanked the chain so that our eyes were lined up. "Be a good girl and undress yourself" she said, letting go. "Yes ma'am" I said. I did as I was told and stood there waiting for further instruction. Being with Crystal for two years has made me learn her ways. Once she gets into this dominant mode, there's no getting her out until she feels she's done... or until I pass out. "Lay down puppy" she said. I don't usually take kindly to people calling me puppy. Mostly because when you're part dog, that's an insult. Crystals different though. When she says it, I know she's only giving me a nickname, rather then calling me a dog. Crystal crawled over me and softly kissed my neck. She ran her fingers up and down my torso. I automatically put my hands above my head, where I knew Crystal wanted them, and waited for her next move.

Carters POV
"Babe, I'm home!" I called out. I plopped down on the couch in exhaustion. "Hi beautiful" Harlow said, kneeling down to my face. I smiled at her. "How was your day?" She asked. "Oh how I love speaking into a microphone where barely anyone is around, and the only people who can judge me are the people that glare at my voice cracking" I said. She chuckled. "So, is this you telling me you wanna do more animated shows?" She asked. "No. I cant hide forever. I mean... we're supposed to have pride right? I need something to bring me back. Can you find an audition?" I asked. "You're in luck. Ellise Thompson is making a horror movie. I can get you the details" she said. "Oh, I love Ellise. She's so nice" I smiled. She smiled back. "That a yes?" She asked. I nodded. "How was your day?" I asked. "Pretty boring. Paperwork. Bills. Phone calls." She shrugged. Our phones suddenly buzzed at the same time. We giggled and checked it. Both our eyes went wide. We looked up at each other and bursted out laughing. Its the reminder for our anniversary tomorrow. "We both forgot" I laughed. "That's probably why we have that reminder" she said with a laugh. "Can we go to dinner tomorrow?" I asked. She nodded. "Ill wear my finest tux" she smirked. "And Ill wear whatever the fuck is in the closet" I shrugged. She laughed.

There was a knock at the door. I sat up and Harlow went to the door. She opened it. "Hello my child. What's up?" She asked. I walked to the door. "Hey Kaida" I said. Kaida is my adopted daughter. She's not much younger then I am. She's got her hood over her head and shes looking down. "Can I stay here tonight?" She asked. Her voice is small and shrill. Harlow and I looked at each other concerned and brought her inside. "Kai, what's wrong? Why wont you look at us?" I asked. She stopped and paused. She took off her hood and sighed. She turned to face us so we could see her beaten face. "Who did this to you?" Harlow said, concerned. Harlow gently touched Kais chin to take a closer look at her face. "Damion" Kai said. "Your boyfriend?" I asked shocked. "Ex-boyfriend" she corrected. "He better be your ex after this. What happened?" Harlow asked. We sat down. "He asked about meeting my parents. I told him about how you guys were my adopted parents. He didn't believe me at first, until I showed him the photos of us. He was... disgusted I guess you could say. He started yelling about how gross it was and how I would have been better off without you. I yelled back saying he was wrong and then..." she stopped. Harlow gripped her fists. "Oh my god" I said with a hand over my mouth. "When did it get this bad?" I mumbled, looking down. I looked at Kai. "I'm so sorry you got wrapped up in this Kai" I said. She shrugged. "Its ok. I wouldn't have it any other way" she smiled at me. Harlow hasn't said a thing. I can tell she's boiling with anger. "Go to the bathroom Kai. Ill come help you clean up in a minute" I said. She got up and went to the bathroom. I put my hand over Harlow's. "Breathe baby. Everything's ok. She's ok" I said. "How can you say that? Did you not see her?" She asked. "We cant do anything about that. We just have to help her get back up on her feet, and not get with a guy like Damion again" I said. She sighed heavily. "Relax babe. It'll be ok" I assured her.
