Cover Girl [Completed]

Chapter 9

You say it's easy but who's to say
That we'd be able to keep it this way
But it's easier
Straight from the heart

Have I mentioned that I think Macie is my guardian angel? She has saved my butt so many times in the last month and a half since "Cover Girls" was cancelled and I lost my job that I don't know how I'm ever going to repay her. If she ever needs a kidney or a liver, I'm going to be the first person to jump in line to donate them, even if I'm not a match, I'll find a way to be a match.

Besides letting my kids and I live with her at her house, she's financing my movie and starring in it. And not only that, she's doing a fucking awesome job. She's playing the lead character the way that I had pictured her in my head. She may not have started out modeling to become an actress, but she's an amazing actress and I don't think "Cover Girls" ever showcased her acting to its potential.

Sure, it's been kind of weird especially this past month since we almost kissed that night before we started shooting the movie. We've found ourselves alone and together a few more times but the kids have been there for the most part.

Or Georgia.

When Georgia found out that the kids and I were living with Macie, for some reason, she went off on her best friend. I guess it was because she had been so far up AJ's ass that she hadn't realized we had moved out or that an old, alcoholic had moved into the apartment next to theirs. I'm still not sure how that was Macie's fault considering I know for a fact Macie had called her a few times to come over for dinner.

That's women for you.

Well, for Georgia anyway. Macie's different than most girls. I still haven't put my finger on why, but I'm not sure of how many single female celebrities would take in an out-of-work camera man and his two outgoing children. I think deep down she likes having us around because she's so lonely, especially since Georgia is busy planning her wedding.

Macie and Zoey have become extremely close. Macie's been working with Zoey on how to play the guitar and they have gone out and done 'girly' things like spa days or getting their nails done.

I'm just still trying to figure out what the hell happened that night in my bedroom. Did she really kind of tell me in a round about way that she wanted me to be her first? Me? The guy that hasn't had sex in the eight, almost nine, years?

I don't even know if Lil' Nicky still works.

Nick sat in Macie's office that evening, looking over the footage that they had shot early that day in downtown L.A. It was a scene that he knew he would not have been able to pull off by himself. Macie posted on her website that she needed fans to show up that day, at the location, and pretend to be a fan of a singer named Julie that she was playing in a movie.

Over 200 people showed up on less than 24-hours notice.

It made the movie / documentary seem even more real with the fans, holding up signs for Julie. He was so proud of everything that he had filmed so far, he felt like he was going to cry. In fact, if he didn't stop acting like such a bitch, he was going to cry.

"Hey, I brought you a soda," Macie said, walking into the office with a can Coke in her hand. "How's the footage from today?" she asked, looking at him questionably. "Have you been crying?"

"Me? No," Nick muttered, rubbing his nose on his wrist. "The footage is awesome. I can't believe so many people came out. It's just coming out better than I really thought it would."

"I can't wait to see it," Macie smiled, hearing someone knock on the opened door. She and Nick looked over to see Zoey standing there.

"I'm heading to bed, Macie can you come up to my room with me?" Zoey asked as Macie nodded, walking out of the office and began following Zoey up the staircase.
