The Fame Game

Nothing's wrong

"Where to?" He asks.

I actually don't have anything pressing to do. "I don't have to leave if you're up for hanging out." I say.
He smiled. " There is this good movie I really wanted to see in theatres."
"I could be up for some popcorn. Which film did you have in mind?" I question.

"It's an action movie called Edge. I hear the main actress is a hottie." He chuckles. I nudge him playfully but, interiorly, I thinking about what he said. Seth Robbins wants to see my movie. More importantly, Seth Robbins called me hot.

"Shut up." I say, and roll my eyes at him.

"I'm serious. I actually like your movies." He confesses and i feel lightheaded, like I'm about to faint of joy and dismay.

I'm not sure I know how to reply, so I don't. Yet I still sense my face turn red and I look down at my shoes.

Seth turns to look at me and I meet his gaze. I feel a sudden urge, a burning desire to touch him and hold him. The thought caught me by surprise and I suppressed it. I must have looked stunned because he was immediately concerned.

"What's wrong?" The fluctuation in his tone gave away his worried state.

I was enlightened at that moment that absolutely nothing was wrong. I was, for the first time since that day, entirely blissful.

I smiled at my life. It not be perfect, it had several flaws, but it was still a beautiful existence. I thought of my situation. Of my fans and family. Of Seth.

Everything I could ever want was within reach.

"There's nothing wrong." I state and I relax in my seat. My shift in mood puzzles him, I can tell, but he doesn't ask any more questions.

Suddenly, I have an idea.

"Let's be tourists for the day." I exclaim. Seth laughs at my idea, assuming it's a joke. "I'm serious."

"Okay then."
