Part 3 - APRIL
Manuel’s presence calmed me. A simple hug or quick kiss filled me. If I felt low, especially at night after he went to work or went home, I’d text him and he always texted back. I found comfort knowing that he was mine. I’d wake up to my empty house, get a glass of milk and some nuts, and look out my windows at the canyon and ocean. My knowledge that I had a wonderful boyfriend and my appreciation of nature’s beauty lifted my spirit.
I was impossibly busy with my exercise regime, school, study, and work. I spent the first week of April doing photo shoots and interviews for the promotional material and ads for Constantine’s Muse. Magazine covers and interviews to promote the film occupied the second week. Byron kissed me several times with a devilish smile during our more risqué photo shoots for international magazines. We were in character as Muse and Constantine and I was technically not cheating but I felt guilty.
Manuel attended classes, studied, maintained his friendships, exercised, worked, and saw me when he could.
I was not lonely. Simply being in love completed me.
--- Plot summary of the April Chapter ---
April: Liana Marie has the happiest month of her life until Manuel goes to her industry birthday party. He feels out-of-place and acts like an immature idiot. They leave the party early to find Byron with a girl from crew in Marie's limo. Manuel is hostile. Marie thinks they break up, completely unable to merge their two worlds - hers of celebrity, his of academic humility. Her mom, Michelle, tries to provide spiritual guidance as Marie feels like she doesn't fit in Hollywood's value system but Michelle's words seem insincere. Michelle leaves. Manuel apologizes. All is well again until Marie learns that Michelle is a 100% Mommy Dearest stage-mom who has lied to her for 4 years.
