Chapter 43

                  

Naya POV

It was 12.30 am when I arrived on set, I was extremely late. Ryan had called me over at least a dozen times, but I didn't pick up since I was in traffic. Arriving at my trailer, I saw a note stuck to my door, wondering what it said, I tore it off and went inside.

'I know about you and your girl. Hope you had a great night last night, because it won't be long before she's gone'

I turned it around, but didn't see anything, it wasn't signed. For a moment I didn't know what to do, was this some sort of joke? I looked outside my trailer, but I didn't see anything unusual. Crumbling up the note, I sat down and threw it on the table.

"Knock knock" I heard, before my trailer door opened. "Nay? You should have been on set an hour and a half ago, what are you still doing here?" Steffie asked, not noticing something was up. "Yeah, eh, I'll be there in 5" I told her, trying to keep my voice as steady as possible. She hesitated for a moment, but then kissed my forehead and went off. Sighing I got up and ready for set, but mostly for Ryan yelling at me.

After a quick hair and makeup, I walked on set, going through my lines in my mind. Not really watching where I was going, someone bumped into me. "Oh hey Naya, great to see you. Are you ready for our kissing scene?" someone asked, pulling me out of my thoughts? "What? Heather is the only one I'd be kissing in this scene. How can there be a guy asking me this?" I rambled, looking slightly shocked. "Well then, that certainly got your attention" he laughed, shaking his head. "Eh, who are you exactly?" I wondered, noticing I had never seen the guy before. "I'm James, James Bond, and I love talking to beautiful women" he replied, grabbing my hand, kissing it. The hell?! "I'm just kidding, I'm Rick, the guy who won the contest?" he clarified, letting a little bell ring in my mind. "Oh hi Rick, nice to meet you" I quickly replied, wanting to leave. "So how about we grab some lunch after we did our kissing scene?" he asked, still holding my hand. Yanking my hand back I scoffed at him, "In your dreams", I stormed off to set, hoping he was kidding about the scene. "Oh the queen has finally arrived, I hope you got to have your beauty sleep? And I most certainly hope it's not too early for you!" Ryan yelled at me as a welcoming. Okay I deserved that, but to be honest I wasn't feeling too well, especially not after that mysterious note, let alone that creepy contest winner Rick.

At our break Steffie came to see me on set. "Naya? Are you alright?" she asked, handing me a coffee. "Not really, but I'm okay enough to shoot some more scenes today. Plus I don't want Ryan to get mad at me again" I told her honestly, taking the coffee from her as though it was my life. "God, you're the best. Thank you" she smiled as a reply, winking at me. "Stop talking about yourself Nay" Grinning I pulled her in a hug. "I was talking about the girl who just saved my life by bringing a coffee. Thanks baby" I whispered in her ear. "Welcome princess" she whispered back, pecking my lips. "Oh your next scene is with the contest winner Rick, I don't know if you've already met him, but he's so full of himself" she said, rolling her eyes. "Oh and eh, he has to kiss your cheek. Don't ask me why, Ryan thought it would be funny" she added in disgust. "What? Why does this have to happen to my character? Who is he even playing?" I asked her, checking my script. "And why isn't he in here?!" I yelled, throwing my script on the seat next to me, making Steffie jump. "I'm sorry babe, I don't like it either. But I suppose Ryan did that because you were late today" she sighed, looking down. "I have to go, Amber needed me with something" she added, grabbing some papers before running off. Ugh why Ryan?

A few minutes later, they needed me back on set. I read the script over one more time, but didn't know where that Rick dude was in, so I just did what I had to do and followed the script. As I sat down at the table next to Heather in my wedding dress, I looked over the main floor, where Rick was standing. He apparently took over the role of Brittany's father, because he was ill.
