They Don't Know About Us (Kylie x Malia) Book 2

Chapter 4

"Cut! Kylie, Malia, you guys ok? You're not fully in it today." Kenny tells them. The young couple sighs as they both nod. "Yeah, sorry Kenny, just got a lot of things on our minds right now." Kylie apologizes. "Ok, how about we just take five and then come back?" Mel suggested. "Works for me." Kenny Ortega shrugs. They were in the middle of filming one of their scenes but neither of them could focus. The threat of their sextape leaking loomed over both of them. Mel walks up to them both and hands them each water. "I know you guys are stressed about this sextape thing but you gotta focus." She whispered as she looked between the two of them. They both sigh and nod. "We know, we're sorry. It's just...." Mel nods. "I get it, i know. It's unsettling. But you still have a job to do." Kylie nods. "We'll get it right, I'm sorry." Mel shakes her head. "You don't have anything to apologize for, I'm not mad cause you messed up the scene, I'm worried that you guys will let this scandal consume you. Consume your every thought, every second, every hour. It's not healthy. You gotta live. You gotta focus. You gotta work, as much as i hate to say it." Kylie holds Malia's hand as they nod. "We know. We're sorry, we'll get it right this time. I promise." "Ok people, back to one!" Mel quickly gets off the set as they reset the scene. "A mark!" "B mark!" "And....action!"

"Red, what are you trying to say?" Chloe steps around to face her as Red starts playing with her hands nervously. Red sighs before she finally turns around to look at Chloe. "I'm saying....i love you Chloe. But I'm scared." Red whispered. "Scared of what? Getting your heart broken?" Chloe rubs her arm. Red shakes her head. "Not mine. Yours." She holds her hand. "My heart? Red, you would never do that." Chloe shakes her head. "You don't know that. Just because my mom is nice now doesn't change my past. It doesn't change my memories!" Red shouts. "What are you talking about?! Red, we changed the past, your mom is nice now. She was never the mean tyrant that you grew up with!" "Then how do i know what I'm feeling is really real?!" Chloe stares at her for a second. "Because what i feel is real. This is real. We may have changed your past but we didn't change mine." Red stares at her, glancing at her lips before leaning in and holding her face gently in her hands. Chloe kisses back as she places her hands on Red's.

"Cut! That was great, girls!" Kenny shouts. The young couple pulls away shyly. And for a split second, they forgot about their actual real life problems. They run the scene a couple times before taking a break. "Alright, can we switch sets and can i get Kylie and Ruby on set please?!" Kenny calls out. Kylie turns to Malia and smiles. "You gonna be ok while i shoot my scene with Ruby?" Malia nods and smiles. "I'll be fine, I'm just gonna go find Tristan and Morgan." Kylie nods. "Ok, I'll see you when I'm done. Meet you in your trailer?" She suggests. Malia nods. "Got it. Now go before Kenny and Mel get pissed." She gives her a quick peck before Kylie leaves to shoot her scene. "Hey girly!" Ruby smiles at her. "Don't." "Wha- i didn't even say anything!" "You don't have to!" Kylie laughs. Ruby glances at Malia. "Your girl is looking at you." "What?" Kylie turns around to see Malia walking to her trailer. "Gotcha!" "Fuck you Rube!" She shoves her playfully before they take their places for their scene.

Malia goes to her trailer to grab her phone. She opens the door and sees a neatly wrapped gift on the table. She looks around for a note but finds nothing. She quickly leaves and goes to find Mel. "Mel?! Mel?!" Mel quickly runs up and grabs her hands. "What is it? What happened?" She asks. "You need to come with me." Malia leads her back to her trailer and shows her the gift. "What is that?" Mel asks as she stares at it. "I don't know, i haven't opened it yet." Mel sighs before she looks around. She grabs a tissue out of the tissue box and opens the box. Inside were pictures of Kylie and Malia. Some were from promotional stuff that they did two years ago for the first movie, some were photos of them just walking down the street, some were of them kissing and hugging each other in public. Which seemed like nothing, most of these were from paparazzi photos. But there were a couple in particular that caught both of their eyes. Photos of the young couple in Malia's apartment, kissing intimately as they were taking clothes off, walking to the bedroom. While all you can see was Kylie taking her shirt off, it still left them on edge. "How long has this guy been stalking me?" Malia breathes heavily. Mel quickly pulls her in for a tight hug, grabbing Malia's hands and placing them on her heart. "Breathe, focus. Breathe, it's ok. You're gonna find this guy, i promise." The hug was a bit awkward since Mel was shorter than both Kylie and Malia but the effects were just the same as Malia starts to calm down. "You didn't touch this, did you?" Malia shakes her head. "Good, don't. It's evidence." She takes out her phone to call the investigator.

Malia sits on the couch as she stares at it. "Mel?" "Yeah, honey?" She turns to her manager. "Can i ask you a favor?" "Depends, what is it?" Malia bites her lip. "I need you to keep this a secret from Kylie." Mel's eyes widen. "Are you insane? That's your girlfriend. She has a right to know!" Malia sighs and nods. "I know, i know she does but....with the movie, and her working on her album, i don't want to add any more stress to that." Mel shrugs. "Oh but you can add stress to me?! Knowing this about you and keeping it from her?!" "I know it's asking a lot, but please. Please!" Malia is nearly in tears. "Don't look at me like that. The puppy dog eyes do not work on me, I'm not your girlfriend." "Then I'm not asking you as your client. I'm asking as your friend. Please?" Mel sighs as she looks up at the ceiling. "I'm gonna regret this, aren't i? Ok fine, but only if you promise that you will tell me every time this happens again. This is serious Lia, they know where you live." Malia turns to her. "Well then, good thing I'm staying with Kylie." "And when they find that out? What then?" Malia sighs. "We'll figure it out then."
