Tracy nodded slowly. "Sorry honey, I know you don't want to, but it's the director's choice. Don't worry though, you won't be kissing everyone. You will do the slap scene and if the reaction is good enough, then you kiss him."
Joy. I have to kiss some random stranger right in front of my boyfriend. I looked at Cody worriedly and he returned the same look.
Before the first person comes in I text him.
*PHONE CONVERSATION*
Me; I know this will be hard for you to watch, but just know it's going to be hard just as hard for me to kiss someone that isn't you. ):
Cody; I know ): this sucks! i trust you though, good luck(:
Me; thanks! and just remember, I'm yours. <3
I didn't get a chance to look at his reply because the first guy had came in. I stood up and walked over to him.
"Hi, I'm Jake Smith!" He said with a bright smile.
"Ryan!" I say and shake his hand. I had a feeling I would be doing that a lot today.
Tracy explained to him what he had to do.
"Alright Jake, so you're going to be sitting with your head in your hands on this chair when Ryan comes up to you. On the third time she says "Liar" she's going to slap you. After that Ryan, you smile; Jake you stand up. We'll do it again if you get the right reaction, but instead of stopping after the slap, you guys will kiss if I say so." She said.
Jake's eyes lit up when Tracy said we were going to kiss, and he looked sad when she continued.
A man named Roy started rolling the cameras and yelled "ACTION".
Here goes nothing.
"Cause you're a liar liar LIAR." Just like I was told, on the third "liar" I smacked Jake across the face. I felt bad doing it since he didn't deserve it.
"Alright let's do it again but kiss this time." Tracy said.
I looked at Cody and mouth "I love you". He mouthed it back and Roy yelled "Action!" again.
I did the same as last time, but kissed him. I felt nothing. I was actually quite boring and the longest 3 seconds of my life. I pulled back and looked at Tracy. She smiled sympathetically at me.
"Alright, thank you Jake we'll get back to you!" Jake smiled and left the room.
I went through the same thing and ended up kissing 6 other guys. Kill me now.
"Hey I'm Jason!" A familiar voice said as he walked into the room. Son of a beatrice.
Tracy explained what was going to happen. At least I got to slap him!
"Cause you're a liar liar LIAR". I slapped him on the third Liar...hard.
"Alright let's try the kiss!" Tracy said. I thought I was going to die.
When he kissed me I felt awkward. It was only a 3 second kiss, but I didn't feel comfortable. When I pulled away he smiled hopefully at me. I rolled my eyes and looked at Tracy.
"We'll let you know!" She said cheerfully. Jason left and I was glad that he was the last one.
I went over to Cody and before he could say anything I kissed him.
I pulled away and smiled. "Now that's what a kiss should feel like!"
"I'm glad that's over." He said sighing.
"Trust me...I am too." I laughed and he kissed my nose.
"Ryan come here we need to discuss this, we start shooting Sunday!" Tracy called for me.
I sigh and walked over to her.
"So, what do you think of Jake? I know he was the first but he seemed ver professional and friendly!" She suggest.
"Yeah, I know what you mean! Just please, for my sanity, DON'T let it be Jason." I pleaded her.
"Alright. If you don't want Jason to be the lead guy, then he doesn't have to be."
I sighed in relief.
"So...Jake it is?" Tracy asks.
"Jake it is." I agree.
"Great! I'll have you call him tomorrow."
"Okayyy."
I head back over to Cody, Monica, and Jen while Tracy packs up her things.
We all talked about the video and I admited I was excited for everything but the kiss. When it was time to go I grabbed Cody's hand and he pulled me close to him.
I just couldn't wait to go rinse my mouth from kissing Jason.
