Forbidden Love

Chapter One: Coming Together

You know when you have an idea to do something; and everyone around you knows it's a bad idea. Yet somehow you end up doing it anyway. Heck my mom even told me this would end badly. My stubborn self and my follow your heart attitude. I would be lying if I said Dom wasn't the love of my life. He was and I guess a part of me will always feel that. However I didn't want to feel it. I wanted to let go and feel nothing on every sense we filmed together. It wasn't that easy, heck even Thomas knew it wouldn't be that easy. My own husband knew better...

Here I knew we had to film together again today, and I found myself longing to see him and dreading it at the same time. I could feel my heart pounding inside my head. I wasn't sure how much more of this I could take.

"Amanda, you do realize you're needed on set?"

I wasn't sure why my mom agreed to come on set with us every day, maybe to be the conscious I lack at the moment. Nerveless I never asked her why.

"I'm coming. You don't have to stay through all this you know?" I asked softly.

She gave me one of those motherly looks that your mother gives when you should know better.

"Miss you working with Dominic, never." She smirked.

It was too late to back out of this now wasn't it? I was officially screwed. What's worse is my mother knew it too didn't she? Thomas had to go back to work today so I'm pretty sure was hear as his eyes as well.

I slowly opened my dressing room door and walked onto the set. This shouldn't the awkward we were still friends? Then again we haven't had to hug and kiss on each other since we broke up..

"Amanda are you sure you're okay?" My mom asked grabbing my wrist gently.

I nodded softly, even though we both knew I was far from okay. What could I do? I already started filming this movie. I couldn't back out of it now, because I was scared of what might or might not happen with Dom.

"I'll be fine, mom." I smiled reassuringly.

Before she had a chance to say anything, Dominic walked over, a bright smile on his face as he did so. Curse that man for looking so beautiful all the time.

"It's about time you showed up. I was feeling abdonded." He smiled.

A smile made it's way onto my face without me even thinking about it. This wasn't going to be easy was it?

"Some of us like to prepare for these things. Let's go." I replied.

I could feel my mother shooting me a warning look, even though I didn't make myself look back at her.

"I'm glad your mum came by the way. It's always lovely seeing Ann."

A part of me wanted to tell him my mom didn't even want me doing this, but I figured that wasn't the best idea.

"You know mom loves my musicals." I smiled.

He nodded softly as we walked in silence onto the set.

We somehow managed to film scene after scene together. Somehow me wrapping my arms around him felt normal. It wasn't supposed to, but it did. The one kiss sense we filmed today, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. However it wasn't exactly easy, and he knew that as well as I did.

"You know we can take a break whenever you want?"

I didn't respond. What exactly was I supposed to say to him? We both knew the issues this would cause, and we both agreeded to do it anyway.

"A?" He asked softly as he put a hand gently on my knee.

I aumatically jumped up as he touched me. No, he didn't just get to call me my old nickname and touch me like everything was just fine between us. He was the one who walked always, he was the one who choose other girl's, not me.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. It's not your job anymore." That stung.

I regretted it almost as soon as I said it. I saw the fire rise in his dark eyes as he stood up hoovering above me.

"Sorry for caring if my coworker is alright or not. Next time I won't ask Amanda." He huffed.

I wanted to apologize to him and tell him I was sorry, but what use would it do? I sighed softly as I felt the tears burning in my emerald  eyes as I wondered how the hell we were going to work together without coming together or falling apart.

I didn't tell my mom or Thomas about me snapping on Dominic. I figured it would result in them telling me it was my own fault for working with him in the first place. I felt bad, it was our first day truly working together on set as a couple and I already managed to mess things up.

"I take it work wasn't exactly a blast?" Thomas asked.

I looked up from the script in my hands to meet his hazel gaze. I wasn't exactly sure what to tell him. He made it rather obvious he hated the whole idea of me working so closely with Dominic. He knew how much he meant to me, heck how much he still does. So this entire conversation was like walking on eggshells.

"It's just going to take getting used to." I replied.

He walked over and wrapped his arms loosely around my waist pulling me into him.

"If he steps out of line I won't hesitate to beat him up for you." He promise.

I smiled softly, but in my heart I knew I could slowly feel myself stepping out of line along with Dominic.
