Happiness ☀︎ Wyatt Oleff

Holly

A few days later

"Holly, you need to be in here in 15 minutes. You're gonna be having an overview of the script at the studio today." My manager, Emily said.

"Okay. I'll be there in 15. Thanks, Emily." I said then hung up the phone.

My manager, Emily, is my closest companion and my partner in crime. She's basically like a big sister to me since we're so close. She's only strict whenever she's in 'work' mode which is basically whenever she arranges my schedule like interviews, shooting, award shows or dinner parties and other stuff like that. But when she's off 'work' mode, she's pretty chill.

Ever since the dinner party, Sebastian and I started to hang out a lot. He invites me to his hotel room and watches movies with me. We go to a local café and chill in there for a while as we drink from our cup of coffees. I have to admit, it's been a lot of fun to hang out with him and I think that he's a great friend but of course, I can't forget about my best friends for 3 years and my boyfriend.

I face time them almost everyday and update them about stuff happening in here while they update me too about the stuff happening in there. I really really miss them a lot especially Wyatt. I swear when I get back from shooting, I will immediately jump into Wyatt's arms and hug him as tight as I can because I feel safe in his arms.

I put on Wyatt's shirt that I took from him while I was packing. It's a little oversized but it's comfortable and it smells like him. I put on my jeans and slipped on my black Nike shoes. I tied my hair back and put on my glasses because I don't really feel like putting on my contacts today. I took my bag from the counter then headed off to the lobby and outside the hotel.

I walked into the studio and greeted everyone with a cheerful smile on my face. Emily rushes to me and hands me a cup of coffee. It's typical for her to hand me a cup of coffee but I will never get tired of being grateful for her and appreciating all the things she has done for me. I smiled at her gratefully and pulled her into a hug.

"Aw, Emily! Thank you." I said then pulled away as I hold my coffee.

"You're welcome." She said, smiling.

She rushes back to the place where she needs to be in while I walk to the table where all of the cast members are seated. I sat down on the seat that has 'Holly Sanders' labeled on it. My seat also happens to be in between Elle and Sebastian again.

"Morning Elle." I said as I put down my bag and set my cup of coffee on the table in front of the pile of papers of what I assume as the script.

"Good morning to you too, Holly." She greeted back.

I turned to my side and greeted Sebastian. "Hey, Seb." I said, smiling at him cheerfully.

"Hey, Holly." He greeted back, flashing me a small smile.

I faced front and noticed James standing in front of us with a smile on his face. "Good morning everyone." The director greeted, holding the script. "As you may know, we're having an overview of the script today. This film is based on a book and I'm expecting that you've all read the book." He said as we all nod in response.

"Now, we all know that Holly and Sebastian are gonna play as Alex and Lena." He paused as he turned the pages of the script. "Now let's all focus on scene four." He continued.

I took my script into my hands and turned the page into scene 4. I noticed that it's a scene consisting of only Lena and Alex talking.

I read the script in scene 4 from top to bottom. It's a scene wherein Lena is in pain and Alex is helping her relieve the pain. It all seems good until my eyes shifted to the bottom of the paper.

Scene 4

"What are you afraid of?" Alex whispered, his gaze fixed on Lena.

"You have to understand. I just want to be happy." Lena could barely get the words out. She spoke quietly. It's as if there's something holding her back. "I just want to be normal, like everybody else." She whispered.

"Are you sure that being like everybody else will make you happy?" The barest whisper; his breath on her ear and neck, his mouth grazing her skin. She thought that maybe this was all a dream— the rest of the world has dissolved. Only him. Only her. Only them.

"I don't know any other way." She whispered. She felt unsure and scared. Those two emotions were stronger than the pain she was feeling on her bleeding leg.

"Let me show you." He says.

He slowly leaned in her face and connected their lips together. They were kissing. It isn't anything she has ever seen or imagined or even dreamed. This is like music or dancing but better than both. His lips are soft and warm against her lips as she felt her heart beating faster than the usual.

He slowly pulled away and looked at her in the eyes. He smiled at her faintly as he admired her angelic and rosy face.

End of Scene 4

I look up from the paper. My eyes wide in shock and my face completely red and flushed. There's a kissing scene. That thought played in my head a couple of times until it started to sink in. I mean, I did kind of expect that there would be a kissing scene but I still can't help but feel shocked in some way.

I sighed heavily and looked to my side. I see Sebastian reading the script intently, his gaze fully focused on the script.

I'm sure Wyatt won't get mad. I mean, it's just acting anyways so he has to understand. I guess I'll just have to talk this through with him tonight.

I reached for my phone in my pocket and texted Wyatt.

Me: I'll facetime you tonight at around 7 pm. It's something important.
