Nick and I have been dating for almost a year now, and it's been the best time of my life. Currently, I'm doing my first movie shoot. I'm a local actress now and hope to go big someday.

"Aaliyah Paxton." The director calls. I walk up to the set of the movie and smile politely. My costar, Levi, smiles at me.

"Scene one. Action!" They yell. I turn to him and begin my acting. I was just starting out, so I wasn't sure how good I'd be at this.

"Is this really what you want?" He asks me, looking at me from his head looking down.

"I want it, Jack." I said, using the name of his character. With that, he leaned in and kissed me. Right as our lips collided, the director yelled cut when his hand when to my butt. Was that in the script?

"Cut!" The director shouted. Levi pulled away quickly and looked at them with a blank expression.

"Was that in the script? I don't think so Levi." The director, Sylvie, huffs and puffs before gaining her composure.

"Take it from the top." Levi and I go back in our spots, standing next to the bed on set, and begin the scene. This all felt so wrong. Kissing someone else that wasn't Nick. I knew that it was all acting, and I was going to have to get used to this kind of stuff if I really wanted this career.

"Great job Aaliyah. I think you're a real keeper." Sylvie compliments me as I'm ready to head out a go home. I push my bag more onto my shoulder and thank her, smiling politely.

"Next shoot is the day after tomorrow. Alright?" She raises an eyebrow at me and says goodbye to Levi as he walks out of the building.

"Yes ma'm. I will be here on time." I assure her, saying goodbye once more before really getting home.

"What are you doing here?" I ask my boyfriend as he's sitting on my couch like he owns the place. It's quite cute actually.

"Just thought I'd surprise you baby." He stands up and walks over to me, putting his lips on mine right away. If our relationship was anything, it was very physical. I didn't mind it either, and I don't think he did. Minutes later, I found myself in bed next to Nick. His fingers ran through my hair slowly and I walked my fingers across his chest.

"Is this all our relationship is babe?" I question him. I needed to know. For all I know, he could only want to be with me to get me in bed every other night.

"Of course not," he begins and then hovers over to me to look at me and push a piece of hair behind my ear," I have fallen head over heels for you Aaliyah. If you don't want to do this as much, that is completely fine with me." He assures me with a firm yet goofy smile. I smile back at him and reach up to kiss his shoulder.

"I love you Nick." I tell him, a grin on my face from ear to ear.

"I love you so much Aaliyah." He rolls next to me and nuzzles his stubbled face into my shoulder.

"So, tell me about your day." He says, turning on his side to look at me. I pull my panties more up on my waist before turning to face him and reply.

"Well. The audition went great, and the director said that I was great. But it was so weird because I have to kiss my costar," Nick's eyes widen for a second and then I continue," like intensely. But I suppose it's all part of the job." I shrug.

"You wouldn't-"

"Never! I lost my virginity to you, not him." I snort out a laugh at the question Nick was going to ask. Does he really think I'd cheat on him with Levi? I would never.

"Wait. You what?" Nick asks, suddenly surprised.

"I thought I told you. That night we met was my first time."

"No you left out that little detail." He sighs as though that was some big thing. Was it? I wasn't sure.

"Is that bad?" I question, pressing my lips together and laying my head on my pillow, looking up at the ceiling.

"No, no. I just would've made it more special. You know, you not being drunk." I can hear the smirk in his time and make a comeback.

"You were drunk too."

"Not quite as bad. You were crying on the bathroom floor. For no reason." Nick laughs at me and I reach over to slap his arm, but I accidentally slap his face.

"That wasn't nice." He makes a pouty lip at me and makes his eyes big.

"I know a way to get you to forgive me." I smile seductively at him and start to kiss him rough.

"Perfect."
