Acting like I love you

Three years later

* Yes, I saw yet another prompt on tumblr ; )*

"Nice to finally have you on our show," said the talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel, to Skye.

Skye waved to the audience and sat down in her chair, "nice to finally be here!"

"I hear that you've recently been nominated for an Oscar. It was for best leading actress correct?"

Skye smiled and blushed, "I did yeah," she stopped and laughed, "I thought that my agent was pranking me or something. I couldn't believe it!"

"And the nomination was for your work in the movie that you came out with a few months ago. But you're in town for a while because you're filming a new movie, correct?"

Skye nodded and smiled, "yeah I'm trying my hand at my first rom-com. I've done action and horror and a bunch of other genres before but I'm having a lot of fun with this."

"And the romantic lead in the movie, you two are dating in real life, right?"

Skye nodded and explained, "Grant Ward and I started dating three years ago when we did the movie, Quake and Hellfire, together."

"How did you two first meet?" the host asked as he put his elbow on the desk and rested his head on his hand, promoting her to tell the story.

"So, we first met at an after party six years ago. I had seen some of his movies before and I had a huge crush on him, even before we met. Then he came over and said hi and we talked for a while, while I was drooling all over myself. Then we receive word that we're doing a movie together and I got totally excited. I mean, why wouldn't I want to do a movie with the guy I had a crush on, right? Then eventually we got to know each other and we found out that we truly, truly hated one another."

The host laughed, "I can't believe you two, of all people, hated each other."

Skye laughed with him, "I know right! So we avoided each other as much as we could and then a few years later were both doing Quake and Hellfire together. Eventually one thing led to another and here we are!"

He smiled, "I always find it so fascinating to hear stories like that."

Skye laughed, "same."

"So do you want to tell us what your new movie is about?"

Skye walked into her apartment and shut the door behind her. She walked into her bedroom, slipped out of the dress she was wearing for the interview, and changed into a tank top and sweatpants, putting her hair into a messy bun. She climbed under her covers in her bed and pulled out her phone. She answered the many texts from friends and her agent. She opened up the text that Grant sent her.

[How was the interview tonight?]

She replied immediately, [you mean you didn't watch it? 😜]

As soon as she sent it, the three bubbles popped up at the bottom of her screen, indicating that he was texting her back, [you know that I would've watched it if I could. I was working. You know, on OUR movie.]

She laughed and replied, [I know I know, I'm just kidding. It went fine. Everything was awesome actually. I'm gonna head to bed, see you in the morning 😘]

[Love you too.]

Skye closed out of her messages and set her phone on her bedside table. She closed her eyes hoping to get some sleep.

Five minutes later she opened them again and looked at her clock. Only five minutes.

She sighed and picked up her phone again, hoping to tire out her eyes. She opened up tumblr and scrolled through all the tags involving her relationship with Grant. She laughed as she saw some of the fan edits, blushed when she saw some of the fanfiction, and smiled at how sweet some of her fans were.
