Chapter Three

*Short one. Sorry*

I can tell Josh feels sympathy now. Maybe not sympathy, but more sorrow or something. Like he’s terribly sorry for me. I don’t know what to say, so I just wait for Josh to say something.

            He doesn’t.

            “So how does the acting job work?” I ask to change the subject.

            Josh loosens his hold around me, and responds with “Oh, uh… usually I just go and audition for a part of a movie, and then wait for a call to see if I got the part. Basically.”

            “What about after that?”

            “Then I learn some lines, prepare to go out to where ever the movie will be filmed, and stuff.” I can tell Josh just wants to talk about something else, like this topic is too general in his life now.

            “I wouldn’t mind changing the subject if you want?” I say.

            “Oh. Yeah, I guess.”

            There’s another pause. I would love to have something else to eat, but I don’t want to seem rude by hogging his food. My stomach growls, and since Josh’s arms are around me, he feels it.

            “Hungry?” he asks.

            “A little bit. I can wait until tomorrow though.” I say.

            Josh laughs a little. “Why do you always refuse the food? You need to eat.”

            “I don’t know…”

            There’s yet another pause. Josh brushes hair out of my face from behind me. “You’re very beautiful.” He tells me.

            I can’t help but blush. “You’re kinda cute yourself.” I say.

            “So.. uhm… I was wondering if-.”

            “You’re trying to ask me out?”

            He chuckles a second. “Yeah.”

            “Sure… I guess. I’ve never had a boyfriend, though.”

            “Then I guess I’ll be your first.” Josh gives me a kiss on the cheek. “Do you think I should take you somewhere to buy some clothes tomorrow?”

            “You don’t have to do that.” I reject.

            “Come on. It’s fine. I don’t mind.”

            “Okay…” I smile, and can’t stop the blood from rushing to my cheeks, causing me to blush.

            “Sleep.” Josh tells me, and leaves to go to his room.

            What’s it like to have a boyfriend? What makes it so special?

            I guess I’ll find out.
