Mercy

Chapter 45

"Ella?" Arlen smiled as he raised an eyebrow.

   Arlen looks so different! He has more muscles, he's a bit taller, with a nice and clean hair cut, bright smile, and light brown eyes.

"You both know each other?" Denise asked as she walked over to us.

"Yeah, we're old friends." Arlen smiled.

    Arlen and I never dated and we didn't attend the same high school, but we used to talk during my Freshman year and I mean "talk" as in we were working our way up to a relationship. But we stopped talking during my Junior year because I wasn't ready for a relationship since I had so much going on in my household.
   I told him that I wanted to just be friends and he agreed, but eventually we grew apart.

Arlen is a good person though.

"Great, well let's get started." Denise beamed.

    I nodded my head and laid on the bed.

   Then, Arlen laid besides me and wrapped his arms around me.

"And...Action!" Madison shouted.

Acting Scene:

   
"Baby." Arlen mumbled as he moved my hair behind my ear.

   I opened my eyes.

"Good morning." I beamed.

"Good morning." Arlen smiled as he bit his bottom lip.

  Arlen kissed me slowly on my cheek and then on my neck as he began to pull up my shirt.

"Babe! You're going to be late for work!" I laughed as I stopped his from continuing to kiss me on my neck.

  Arlen laughed as he looked me in my eyes.

   He then looked at me in confusion.

"Hmm, there is something different about you today. —Did you put on Bel air last night?" Arlen asked.

"Or—maybe it's these sheets!" He added.

"I bought these sheets yesterday. They're called soft sheets. Literally." I smiled.

   Arlen smiled and then he began to kiss my on neck again.

   I began to laugh.

"And...CUT!" Madison shouted.

End of scene.

"Perfect! You both did amazing on the first take." Denise smiled as she walked over to Arlen and I.

I smiled awkwardly as I glanced at Arlen.

"Well, I'm going to go change so I can head home..." I said.

   Denise nodded her head and began to talk to Arlen before I walked away.

I changed back into my regular clothes and walked out the dressing room.

"Ella will you be attending the party tomorrow for the grand opening of soft sheets?" Denise smiled as she walked up to me.

"Oh...of course."

"Great. Will Mr. Smith be there?"

I nodded my head.

"Alright, well have a good day."

"You too." I beamed before walking away.

I walked out of the building and over to my car in the parking lot.

"Ella! Wait up!" Arlen shouted as he walked over to me.

"Hhhhey..." I smiled as I stopped walking and faced him.
