                 *Claire's POV*
Its been a week since I met James's new girlfriend which amazes me still to find out he would date someone else. It was never official for us but I know what I felt is real there was never really a need to describe it and neither did he and I know James far enough to know there's something wrong in this. James never dates.
What did he saw in her that she dated her? I know for one, it wasn't because of physical attachment, of all the people I know, he would go after her? All the way from movies to music. There's something wrong and I could sense it. I couldn't stand seeing James with her. Her smiling at me as if she'd won the battle while I never declared a war, I think she knew silently I signaled one.
Which without a doubt, made me feel a bit better, I could see in her eyes, she saw me as a threat, there was anger in my tone and sweetness that night and I made it hard to figure out which feeling dominated the other over me. Some may see me sweet, some may see me angry but only a few might be able to see me broken in a half filled with both the feelings.
I wondered why I was so lost in my thoughts, all about James. It then I realized when I fell in love with him, I never gave myself a chance to get up - I was thankful for that for I knew, I never wanted to fall out of love with him.
And I was ready - ready to clear the way for our love, even if it meant breaking hearts.
I was, however never in the favor of breaking my heart or James's.
Thinking about the situation, I didn't knew what to do but I made up my mind about one thing - Whatever I was to do next, I would get rid of Landla Ellen.
Twisted in my own thought, my phone rang. "Hello" "Hey, Clarie, I really need to ask you something? You know I am producing a movie and the cast is A-list celebrities, I need a really amazing director and I put my trust in you. Will you be up for the job?" "Of course, email me the details about the project and I'll let you know in a day" I blurted. "Oh thanks! Thanks for always being there. Really I mean it, really" He said in a pleading tone."Please don't mention it, you know there's no one I rather do these things for" I confessed. "You know what? Let's meet up at the hotel and discuss the project and all" He said, I knew I couldn't deny this."Oh that'd be great!" I replied. "I'll pick you up at 7, where are you?" He questioned "I'm at my house" I dryly said. "Alright, be ready" He said and hung up the phone.
I don't know how the tables turned but I wouldn't waste this opportunity, I felt as this was the closest I would ever get to James to tell him everything if he was still to be with Landla.
Of course, I wouldn't tell him everything, a little twist wouldn't hurt us both.

I got ready wearing a gold dress with white detail on the shoulders, full sleeve and knee length with gold pumps. My door bell rang and I walked out and he stood in front of me, James opened the car door for me. True gentlemen style. The car drive was silent.We didnot talk much other than about what was happening in our lives, when James was around me I felt so protected, I didn't fear him at all even at his worst I knew I would stand by him and help him get to the best. We reached there in no time since I was so caught up in my thoughts. I got out the car first and went to the door and James walked behind me. We settled down in the Victorian style seats and waited for the menu. "So how big is your new movie?" I asked."Well, it's a massive project, I just want it to be a hit and I am ready to do anything to make it a hit" He answered. "Anything?" I asked him with a smirk. "Yes, why?" He questioned. "James..I have an idea to make it a hit, of course the cast will help and I'll do my best for my directing skills but I have someone else in mind too" I confessed
"Who?". "But first, tell me when did you started dating Landla? Why did I only came to know it when I met you both at the party?" I questioned. " I don't know. Everything went so quickly with her. I saw her at my party. Of course I knew who she was back then too since she's so famous" he answered. "Tell me James...I thought what we had was real" I said frowning. "Clarie that's the point, we had it, we don't have it" he said looking into my eyes. My tears became crowding up. "So that's how it is, your feelings have changed, you know they say when feelings are true, they never fade" I said trying to hold back the tears. "It's not that, my feelings...I don't know, the past months I have been thinking about Lana but I don't know still because whenever I thought about her, you still came to my mind and I can't earse that no matter how hard I tried, I thought if I started dating Lana I will forgot about you but its hard, I find it so hard to forget, everything that happened between us. Those five years, I just can't...." He said, his expressions saddening.
"Then don't, if you've fallen in love then don't escape it. I didn't escape my love for you, James we can still make this real and this time we won't break this" I said reaching for his hand."What about Lana?" He asked me concerned. "Break up with her now before she falls in love with you. Even if she already has fallen it'll be easier the earlier you break up for her to move on, don't make the girl suffer" I said. "What if I am the one who has fallen, her innocence, I can't betray her innocence for my wickedness" he confessed. "James, you haven't fallen, if you had I wouldn't come to your mind. I would've been the last thought on your mind but surprisingly I still am the first thought. What you like about her, is her innocence? Then don't continue this relationship further if you care about her innocence and I have an idea that'll benefit us both before you leave her for good" I explained. "What is it?" he questioned me confused. "The movie you're producing, Landla can be used for the movie, you know clearly how famous she is and if she has a song track for the movie, the audience will double and so will the profits" I explained again. I continued "Ask her to help you in this project, of course she won't take any money from you and do the song. Think about it. This movie will have more fame and we have the money, we just need her fame" "I can't just do that" James protested. "Look, James she doesn't need to know, she'll think you're still in love with her but once the song is recorded, keep in mind that you just need her fame, just distance yourself from her, tell her it's not working out, you know how it works" I said. "You know this movie, I just want it to be a hit" he confessed. "Then do as I say" I answered and he nodded.
I knew this was a beginning of something great, lest for me. I felt acerbity and sorry for Landla but I couldn't hold back the way I felt about James, we fell in love before but never admitted it like this because we never realized we fell until we distanced ourselves, only to find out we couldn't.
