The Drama

Finale: Shelly

I was ready for the shot & wanted to show that it didn't affect me.

Theo, too, looked nervous.

For some reason, I, just for a moment, thought that he was coming in my direction to say something but stopped.

He was looking at me.
His gaze never left mine.

We both were ready for the scene.
The scene where I had to share a kiss with Theo.
No problem.
Just a kiss with a co-actor.

The cameras were rolling.

"ACTION."

I pulled him by his collar & moved into a kiss.

I kissed him deeply & passionately. We both were feeling the kiss, but tears were welling up in my eyes, rolling down my cheeks.

As soon as the director said cut, I broke the kiss & went to my van without looking back, just to start crying.

Even I couldn't understand why I was weeping.

The door of the van suddenly flied open & Theo stepped in.

He put his one hand on my shoulder & other, caressing my cheek.

Wiping my tears, he asked, "Are you okay? What happened? Did I do something wro-"

"WHY? Why are you asking me this? Why are you s-suddenely caring about me? Why d-don't you do your work. Let me be."
I shrugged his hands off.

"Shelly, tell me what happened? Please. Why're you being like this?"

"Are you asking me why am I being like this? YOU were the one who said I am clingy, didn't you? Why did you hurt me? Why did you say those things? Wh-"

"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU. I love you, Shelly."

I was shocked hearing those words from his mouth.

"Yes, Shelly. I love you so much. I couldn't tell you this before because I was afraid to lose you. I was afraid that if I....I confessed my feelings & if you don't feel the same, I will lose you. I'm sorry, Shelly. I know I've hurt you, but from now on, I will never &....if you want, I will also never-"
Just then, I kissed him.

He was shocked, but then, I could feel his lips pressed on mine, moving in a rhythm.

His lips were warm & soft & his kiss was tender. Then he kissed me deeper, losing himself in me, as I lost myself in him.

I broke the kiss & stared in his ocean eyes, which were staring at me intently.

"Hey, don't look at me with those eyes." I said.

"What eyes?"

He smiled & hugged me tightly.
"I love you too, Mr. James."
