Falling For Love

Chapter 1

"And...That's a wrap!"

It was only 1:00pm which was extremely early compared to our long working hours we endured every other day of the week. Dylan and I had just finished one of our scenes for Stalker and Kevin allowed us to leave early so we could get ready for the golden globes. Returning to my trailer, I hung up another one of Beth's elegant cardigans and slopped on the couch. The stunt co-ordinators came in today which made my morning extremely exhausting as we filmed various fight scenes. I loved the action in my work but at the same time it was so tiring and it used up all of my energy! Thinking of a few years back, I was so glad that Beth didn't have as many fight scenes as Nikita. I grabbed my handbag and script off the coffee table and jumped out of my trailer, eager to get home. Walking towards my car I spotted Elizabeth across the parking lot.

"Hey! My chauffeur is picking up Mariana before the event so do you want me to give you a lift as well?" she asked.

I didn't know what to say because I had already made plans which I was meant to keep a secret. As I was lost in my thoughts I heard Elizabeth's voice again.

"OMG! Maggie isn't it your little debut tonight?"

I was a little stunned and stared at her suspiciously. "Wait...how did you...?"

"Dylan"

That cheeky bastard, "oh right of course it was him."

"Bye Mags, I'll see you later!"

"See you!"

I glanced down at my magnificent Cartier watch, 5 hours, that should be enough time to get ready. The watch was a gift from Dylan for my birthday last year and I've worn it every single day since the day I got it. Not long after I arrived home, my manager came barging in with my whole team. Before I knew it I had been thrown in and out of the bath and I was sitting on my dressing table with my hairstylist doing my hair, my makeup artist applying my makeup whilst others painted my nails and moisturised my legs. During all this chaos, I decided to pick up my phone and text Dylan.

Hey babe, what are you doing?

A few minutes later my phone let out a loud beep which caused my dog Cesar to come running through the door. Cesar always seems more excited than me whenever I receive a text! I opened Dylan's text and laughed at the photo he sent me captioned:

Not having a good time :(

I showed Cesar the photo and even he seemed amused. The photo showed his assistant tugging at the tight bow tie around his neck with a very unhappy looking Dylan. I decided to reply quickly before he made up his mind to escape from his own house.

Dylan, why so sad? :(

I've been here for ages and they're not letting me leave! I want to see my beautiful fiancé

AWWWW! Aren't you the sweetest?

The sweetest, cutest and the best fiancé in the world!!!

Don't flatter yourself

Charming, Intelligent, Humorous...I could go on forever

Haha whatever, I promise I won't be long! Plus you'll be here in half an hour anyway, you'll live ;)

I smiled to myself as I put my phone back on the dressing table. I missed being around Dylan! Even though we were at work together only a few hours ago, the times I spent without him were the longest hours of my life. The day we met on the set of Stalker was the day it all started. It was true love at first sight and not long after we started dating and recently engaged. Only a few of my close friends and family knew about my engagement with Dylan and they all encouraged us to celebrate by going on a romantic trip around the world or by visiting a relaxing resort but we both knew that it would be impossible. Being a celebrity was hard at times, especially when it came to hiding relationships. Dylan and I understood the consequences of coming out to the press however we've recently decided that the benefits overweighed the problems we would have to face. We had each other, and we wouldn't be facing the problems alone, we'd be facing them together. I cast my thoughts aside as I stood up to get changed. I stood in front of the mirror and stared at my reflection. I was wearing a long black gown with a deep V-neck cut paired with a black clutch and heels. My jewellery was kept to a minimum with only a pair of dangly earrings with my hair parted and swept to one side. I glided across the room to open the door for my stylist as she knocked on the door.

"Darling, are you dressed? The limo is going to be here soon." She took one look at me and said, "Pretty, but not perfect yet!"

She walked over to me and opened the delicate heart-shaped box in front of me. Inside laid a stunning, glistening diamond ring. It wasn't just any ring, it was my engagement ring. Eagerly, I picked up the ring and slipped it on my ring finger. Today was the big day! After today, I would no longer have to hide my ring anymore. Ever since Dylan proposed to me, I didn't want to spend a second without it but I wasn't allowed to wear it in public due to the paparazzi documenting every second of my life.

*Flashback - 1 week ago*

"Babe, what's wrong?" asked Dylan as he looked up from his menu to see me sulking on the other side of the table.

"Nothing."

"You know you can tell me anything right?"

"Mhmm"

"Maggie what's going on?"

"I'm just sick and tired of all of this! The lies, hiding..." I screamed causing a bit of a stir with the paparazzi crowding outside the restaurant, always ready to intrude into our personal lives.

"But that's what makes it fun!"

"No... it used to be fun, but now I feel like I'm back in high school sneaking around with my boyfriend behind my parents' backs."

Dylan gave me an understanding look and reached his hand across the table to hold onto mine but stopped abruptly when he remembered we were in public. As he was caught by his actions, I looked up at him and said, "see, we can't even hold hands!"

Earlier that evening after we had left the studio, we decided to go out to a nice restaurant to celebrate a day of hard work. I loved that we were co-stars as it gave us an excuse to be seen in public with each other, but then again, our relationship in the public eye was restrictive. To them, we were only "friends".

"Sweetie, I promise only one more week and it will all be over." he smiled at me reassuringly

After some thoughtful discussions, the both of decided that we were ready to let the world know that we were engaged. For a while, I've wanted to display my ring wherever I went and cuddled with Dylan wherever we were but our managers' said we had to wait. They wanted something special to be our debut as a couple, something big... so I guess that's where they got the idea of revealing Dylan and I as a couple during the golden globes.

"Yes honey, only one more week!" I replied.
