Not Just Acting (Negovanman)

Chapter 37

Happy Valentine's Day ;) <3

"Oh! I like this one." Natasha flips her phone screen towards me, showing a picture of me kissing her cheek and her frowning adorably that we took last week. "What do you think?"

"I think that one is perfect." I lean back on the soft couch cushion, more angled in her direction and smile at the picture. Now that we're on the couch and we've changed out of our dresses to more comfortable clothes, thankfully being provided sweatpants and a t-shirt by her, everything has a more lazy vibe to it. I love it.

I am getting bored of scrolling through pictures, thinking I find a good one for us to post, debate about it for a bit, and then move on from it. I would do anything to continue with our night of movies, not that I'm not all for the idea of the fans finally knowing we're officially together. Really, I thought making out in public would show it enough. It turns out that it's not, which is weird. There are literally hundreds of photos of us kissing and there's always that one person to argue and make everyone change their minds that it's a fake or something equally debatable. 

"Want me to send it to you so we can post it at the same time?"

"Yes." I smile at how cute and proud she's being about us. It's making me fall even harder. 

Natasha taps away at her phone a few times before nodding in approval and resting her chin on my shoulder to watch my phone as she waits for it to ding from a message.

"All done."

For the few seconds it takes for me to get the message, I watch her get everything set up on Instagram. She ignores adding the filter and goes straight to typing in a long message to go with the picture. I turn away after seeing a few words and get my own picture set up on Instagram. Then, I begin to type away myself.

"Where do I even start? This amazing girl that I met through fate during an audition has become so important to me. She's closer than I could have ever imagined. I'd say she's right next to my heart, treating it delicately with her whole being. I love the way she makes me feel when she just looks in my direction, I love the way I can talk to her at such a carefree level that two hours pass by without us noticing, I love our special dates that turn in to so much more than we originally planned, and I love seeing the beautiful fireworks like on Independence Day every time we kiss. I finally got to say the words I've been feeling for her for who knows how long tonight and there's no one else I would rather share that with. So, here's to Natasha, my dream girl."

I bite my lip and hover my thumb over the post button. This will change everything and nothing. That somehow making sense to me. 

"Can I see what you wrote first?" Natasha asks in a shy voice. "You can read mine too."

"Of course." I smile at her and we switch phones.

"Let me just say that the girl in the picture, there right next to me, is my girlfriend. It's hard to believe because the first time I saw her, I was smitten. It's easy to "act" emotions that you feel completely out of the acting setting. It's like I was already a professional because I was so genuine with my on-screen feelings. In all honestly, it was not just acting for me. I've always felt something special for Elise, from the second my hand touched hers and I introduced myself. Now I sit next to her, typing this, and wonder when I got so damn lucky. I don't recall wishing upon a star, but now I realize I didn't have to because she is that star. She is that sparkling being that everyone looks for during the day and stares at during the night. I get my wish when I look at her." 

My eyes are blurry from tears by the time I reach the end so I have to bring my hand up to wipe them away. I sniffle and feel completely absorbed in her words because she stated everything so beautifully. She stated those beautiful words about me and she's sharing that with the world.
