A Movie Of Our Own

Charlotte

"You guys almost kissed?" Lena shrieks.

"Lena if you don't calm down I might crash this damn car!" I scolded her.

As we left the studio not too long ago I did not see Brooke anywhere at all. Not only did my frustration build up but also my confusion. First, why did she just leave me like that? And second, did I do anything wrong?

Was it wrong of me to be thinking that we could maybe even happen? For god's sake, she's my director who's a girl. I've quite literally built my whole career as a straight good girl, if anyone found out I was even lesbian, what would even happen? Well, I know I could lose a lot of popularity that's for sure.

I'd probably lose a whole bunch of brand deals, I'd be dropped from future projects, and who knows what.

The fans, of course the fans!

My fans who have been so loyal and supportive to me, who knows what they would think. I've been in relationships for publicity before and fans have been supportive. But what if it was a girl?

Who knows if that day would ever even come.

But god, I just can't seem to let go of Brooke.

It never hurts to try, right?

"The way she left that room didn't seem like you almost kissed." Lena states.

"I'm listening." I add on, trying to keep my eyes on the road.

"Well, when she walked out of the room, she seemed like she was in a rush. Maybe she did look a little flustered but she just ran off to god knows where." Lena says.

"I don't know, it just didn't seem like anything happened in there between you two. You could even say she looked mad.." Lena adds on.

I let out a deep breath, "Well I honestly don't know what she could be mad about." I laugh out as I continue driving. "I mean she almost kissed Charlotte Evans, what is there to be mad about?" I say shrugging my shoulders.

"Someone needs to tie you down girl!" Lena laughs along with me.

"Well don't expect that to be that any time soon." I half joke with Lena

"Sure." Lena says with a smirk.

"Anddd we're home!" I say taking the final turn into the driveway of my house. I then turn to Lena who's already halfway out of her seat "What?" She says with a questionable look on her face. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Lena shrieks out. I continue with a devilish grin at Lena, "Okay, you're scaring me, what is up?" Lena asks in fear as she scoots back against her car door.

"I actually have one or a couple more presents waiting for you inside. And I think you'll really like them." I say changing to a grin to a genuine smile at Lena.

"There's no way!" Lena says, shocked.

"Oh, absolutely." I laugh. "You really thought I wouldn't get you any more?" I ask.

"You're serious?" Lena asks in disbelief. "You've spiked me too much." Lena adds.

"Are we complaining?" I ask, tilting my head.

"Never mind, give me the presents!" Lena says quickly turning around and exiting the car.

"I can't believe you walked inside of a lingerie store just for me!" Lena says in disbelief as she holds up a red set I bought her. "I don't even remember the last time you walked into one with me, let alone by yourself!" Lena yells out.
