Episode 43: Drama Club

"Taylor. Hey. What are you doing here?" Emily asked as she slyly slipped her fingers out of Nicholas'.

She could feel him giving her a weird look from the side but there were bigger matters to worry about.

Tidily dressed in a dark ginger cashmere sweater, Taylor McNabb had one hand tucked inside the pocket of his jeans. His cute features were hidden behind a black face mask. If anyone had told her that it was him walking by, she wouldn't have believed them because of how well he disguised himself. Then again, she guessed that was the point. He was most likely out trying to have a good time without his reputation as a star getting in the way and resulting in fans bombarding him for pictures.

What were the odds that both of them came out on the same day and bumped into each other like this?

Obviously Emily's cap and sunglasses hadn't been enough for him not to distinguish her from all the others in a crowd.

She began to worry about the possibility of another person having seen her with Nicholas. Not because she feared for them being uncovered by the public but because it would be done in such a scandalous way. Like the cheap bargain of a paparazzi.

However, Taylor didn't seem to show any signs of seeing them interact with each other.

He looked as clueless as a newborn baby.

Good, she rejoiced.

This meant that it would be easy for her to trick him into believing any excuses she had.

That is if Nicholas was willing to comply with the plan she had in store.

"We're all off for today, remember? I haven't been to the zoo in a while so I thought it would be a good way to relieve some stress before we start filming again. Never thought I'd see you here though."

His eyes glanced back and forth between her and Nicholas whom had strangely became closer, sticking to her like glue.

"And...who may this be?"

"Nobody." She spoke up quickly.

Too quickly.

Nicholas felt as if a lightning bolt struck him in the heart because of her denial.

His eyes were shooting bullets at her as Emily proceeded to ignore him.

Taylor tilted his head at her at the weird vibe he was receiving from both of them.

"He's just someone who was passing by and I asked him to take a photo of me," She turned to him for good measure.

Nicholas didn't waver in his stormy gaze as she flashed him what was supposed to be a polite smile.

"Thank you for helping me out, sir."

Standing as stiff as a board, he watched Emily turn with the intention of walking away from him but little did she know that he wasn't going to put up with her leaving.

Not now.

Not ever.

As she found herself venturing towards Taylor, him welcoming her with a sunny smile, a hand snapped out and took ahold of her arm.
