The Actress And The Beast (Post Malone story - completed)

Show time

The tabloids went mental. I'm guessing Post Malone knew what he was doing. His film was everywhere. Same as our names. Rumours of our steamy hook up that never happened. Pictures of girls leaving his house where being analyzed to see if they were me. It was crazy. My ratings had doubled. MTV was loving me. I was on every show. Thankfully I'd had no run ins with him since. Unfortunately for MTV. They were desperate to get us in the same room together again. Just to fuel the rumour mill a bit more they didn't care if I had it hadn't slept with him. It was just good TV and great publicity. They decided that I should present an award at the MTV music awards that's basically guaranteeing us to be in the same room. It also happened to be best rnb/hip-hop album I was presenting. Hollywood's bleeding had been number 1 for practically 6 months so he was a shoe in.

I had been in to rehearse and heard him doing soundcheck. He was performing circles. Which wasn't my favourite but he was then doing take what you want with Ozzy Osbourne which I can't lie I was excited for. I was in hair and make-up and my team where arguing on what the look was going to be. I was just leaving it to them to come to a conclusion I'd picked the dress. Which seemed to surprise everyone. If I was going out there for people to think I'd had a one night stand with THE playboy Post Malone I wasn't looking dowdy. It was a red mesh floor length dress with a split right up to my hip on both sides. We decided on neutral makeup and Hollywood waves. After the press and waiting it was finally my turn to present with my fellow MTV reality star Tana. I'd not bumped into him yet so it was probably the first time he's seen me since dropping my dress off. He won obviously. I watched him come up in his black suit and red shirt. I bet that was planned I thought. He looked me up and down and definitely licked his lips. He was playing up for the cameras. I kept my sultry gaze on him. He did scub up well and those tattoos where either growing on my or I was just getting used to them. He finally reached us and he hugged Tana first. He wrapped his arms around my tiny waist and whispered in my ear. "You look hot" I blushed a little so I turned my head away after kissing him on the cheek. He said his thank yous and we all left the stage together his hand on the small of my back. We had photos once off stage. Then we were free to go back to our seats. He pulled me to one side before where escorted back.
"Hey, how's things?"

"Good, thanks well done on the award" this was awkward. Was he just making small talk because he thought he had to. We didn't actually have sex...

"Right, yeah thanks. See you later then" he walks off.

I don't get him

Austin's POV

I know Isabella is presenting one of the awards I'm nominated for. A cruel joke by MTV to stick us together. It's the first time I've seen her in the flesh since I dropped her dress off. I'm still not sure if she did that on purpose. Publicity stunt or something. Not sure if she would of thought that far on or if she's just a mastermind. I watched the screen as she came on. Damn she outdid herself. She knew this was going to draw attention so she dressed up. This is definitely not what she would have wore before splitting up with Ross. I'm pretty sure if the wrong gust came I would be seeing her panties. However little they may be. I won. That meant a interaction just what they wanted. Fuel the rumours about us hooking up. Bet she hated it. I made my way up. I gave Tana a hug first leaving the best till last. They were like the complete opposites of each other. Tana, blonde and gorgeous but brash. Very opinionated and loud and always dresses seductively. Then there's Isabella brunette and cute but that dress is sexy and sophisticated. Showing skin and quite see through in some parts now I'm up close but not trashy in the slightest. I hug her tightly and tell her she looks hot because she does. I'm sure I see her blush. She can't fake blushing is the ice Queen melting. I do a quick speech and we walk off me leading her. After all the bullshit pictures and interviews I pull her to the side to chat. Just to see if she's ok. She just blows me off. I don't get how she can be so rude sometimes. I'm supposed to be the bad boy

I go to get changed for my performance. This is going to be an epic one.

I spot Isabella as I'm singing circles. She looks like she's singing along but not with any enthusiasm. I spot her half was through take what you want and she definitely prefers this. I would have guessed the opposite to be fair. She's genuinely smiling and enjoying herself. Doesn't look like that happens a lot for some reason. I do a bow and leave the stage. I see her on the way back to my seat. She walks backwards into me and loses her balance. I grab her before she falls and plant her firmly on her feet
"Hey lil mama. Are we trying to fuel the rumours?" She blushes bright red like her dress clutching onto my arms to steady herself.

"Thanks for not letting me fall on my ass" she smiles up at me. I'm not sure if she's acting or being sincere. I can't tell.

"Be careful I may not be there to save you next time"
