chapter six. on screen ( love ) interest.
Althea glances at Laya. "What do you mean?" she asks.
"He never showed Althea. Its kind of essential..." Laya says and frowns. "Look, I know your vision was a cute little scene, and stuff, but I think we'll have to scrap the scene."
Augustine glances at Althea. "Not if she can call someone."
Althea frowns. "Like who?"
Augustine shrugs. "You have a couple of days until Jeddah."
Althea's lips press together. "We are not calling George." she says and Willa grins.
"Why not?"
"Because!" Althea protests. "I don't want to make things weird!"
Willa snorts. "You're dating him on a bet, things are already pretty weird."
"We aren't dating. We're just hanging out." Althea corrects. "And no. The scene has a kiss written in. I'm not doing that. Its weird."
Augustine shakes her head. "Its only weird if you make it weird. Don't make it weird."
Althea glances at Augustine and then at Willa. "Its not professional."
"Why? Because you have a little crush on him?" Willa teases.
Althea rolls her eyes. "Call someone else." and then turns to Willa, "I do not have a crush on him."
Augustine sighs. "Look, its just one kiss. It never means anything."
Willa shakes her head. "That's not entirely true. A kiss always means something."
Althea glances at Laya. "You're the creative director, its your call."
Laya smiles. "I say go for it. Its a small kiss. And if you don't like it in the final cut, we'll drop the scene.
