BURNING DESIRE

Chapter 2

Five Months Later and Hell Yeah, I'm in Hollywood Baby!

The sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow over the bustling streets of Hollywood. I stood in the middle of it all, my heart racing with excitement and disbelief. Just five months ago, I was a struggling actor, performing on stage in a theatre barely making ends meet, but now, here I was, on the set of my first major movie role.

As I walked onto the set, the familiar scent of coffee and the sound of the crew bustling around filled the air. I couldn't help but smile as I thought about how far I had come. It had been a whirlwind of auditions, callbacks, and endless rehearsals, but it had all been worth it.
I have a nice new home and even made a best friend along the way.

"Hey, girl!" a familiar voice called out, and I turned to see my best friend, Reme striding towards me.

"You ready for the last week of filming?"

I couldn't help but laugh. "Am I ready? Absolutely! I can't wait to get this done and finally get some rest."
Reme grinned and placed a hand on my growing belly.

"And how's Aunty's little bean doing today?"

I glanced down and rubbed my belly affectionately. "This little man won't keep still, that's for sure. But I wouldn't have it any other way."

Reme chuckled and gave me a playful nudge. "Well, you're doing an amazing job, and I know you're going to be a fantastic mummy. Just remember to take it easy, okay?"

"Alright, people, let's get this show on the road!" boomed the director, clapping her hands together. "Winter, you and Jimmy are up first. Remember, we want this to look as real as possible, so don't hold back, okay?"

I nodded, my heart pounding in my chest. I knew this was my big moment, my chance to prove my acting chops and cement my place in the industry. As the cameras started rolling, I took a deep breath and stepped into the character of Lola.

"Oh, honey, you smell so good," he purred, his voice dripping with false sincerity. "I want to kiss those lips."

I narrowed her eyes and scoffed. "Well, no lips of mine are to be touched!" I snapped, her tone laced with disdain.

Jimmy's eyes widened, and he quickly dropped to his knees, clasping his hands together in a desperate plea. "Come on, sweetie, I love you. You know that after all, you're carrying my baby."

"no, you don't love me if you would you would have left that wife of yours"

Jimmy's face fell, and he scrambled to his feet, his expression a mix of desperation and frustration. "You know I can't leave her, not yet, but I will. I love you so much. You know we are hungry for each other when I look into your eyes. I can see a reflection of the two of us and our baby, the life I know we will share."

I slap him so hard that Jimmy's face turns to one side

"Ouch, fuck, that hurt!" he exclaimed, rubbing his stinging cheek. "You only meant to pretend to slap me, not actually slap me. Fuck, that hurt!"

I couldn't help But let out a giggle.

The director, who had been watching the scene intently, let out a booming laugh. "Cut, cut!" she shouted, waving her hands in the air. "I told her to slap you to make it look real, you big baby!" Jimmy glared at the director, his eyes narrowed in annoyance. "Okay, let's take it from the slap and action," the director continued, ignoring Jimmy's disgruntled expression.

Stepped forward, my eyes blazing with a mix of anger and amusement.

"Don't you dare talk to me with all those promises," I spat, my voice dripping with venom. "It's all bullshit that comes out of your mouth, Layton and I've had enough."
