Kate's pov
-
My head was spinning in an orbit of dazed and lust.
My lips still tingled from her kiss, my heart felt heavy and my lungs burned from the lack of oxygen. I was still panting for breath as she walked away as if nothing had just happened.
I couldn't think right, my mind was running a marathon while pulling all of my senses on its back
My hands pressed against the side of the elevator wall to keep me standing, for my knees were weak just as my heart right now.
Autumn Hester just kissed me.
Autumn
Hester
Just kissed me
I'll repeat that sentence over and over again in my head because there's no damn way I ever would have expected that to happen in my entire life
Just two weeks ago I was a struggling actress working in a diner and now I was buckling to my knees because Hollywood's greatest actress just left me in a daze by her lips
God her lips. They were exactly as I thought of them. So soft, so plush. So delicate, they fitted so perfectly between mine. They tasted like watermelon but sweeter? Ugh my mind was tripping too much to focus
"Shit" I hissed when the elevator door started to slide close
My hand poked out to stop it just in time, I was standing there so long that I forgot I was going to be late for shooting
My feet finally gained some strength and they moved as agile as they could down the hallway of the building, my eyes immediately spotted the specific room where we last did our filming
I stopped just inches away from the door, knowing I'd have to come face to face with the girl in hurt a few seconds
It was just a simple kiss, what the hell was going on with me. Autumn kissed me for no reason at all, maybe I was annoying her and she wanted me to shut up. But she could have at least placed her hand over my mouth or something
But God that kiss was something else. I've never felt such a way before. I've only been with two people and I've never experienced such a feeling before.
But like I said, it was just a kiss and I was being dramatic about it. Sure I'll chew her head off for even kissing me I'm the first place but right now I had to get my head in the game
But why was her lips the only thing on my mind right now?
A deep breath left my nostrils as I pushed open the door, only to be met with the familiar crew walking around on the set which consisted of a large grass field with wooden houses lined across each other like a town
I swear it's like another world inside this building. The studio had many sets, some doors led to modern cities with glass mirrors that worked lien a television set. Other doors led to a set up of a house or a high school. It truly was another world at the studio
"You're late" The male director mumbled, not sparing me a glance
"Sorry, I was caught up in the elevator-"
"Don't wanna hear. Just get into hair and makeup" He said
I kept my head down knowing there was some sort of tension since the news of our fight was aired everywhere. It was obvious that he had seen it and I'm sure everyone else in the room did too since they were all glancing in my direction and whispering to their friends
I slowly made my way over to my assigned chair, noticing that Autumn wasn't sitting next to me. I furrowed my brows and glanced around the room
The girl was no where in sight, I wonder where she could have been. It's already time to start filming and she left the elevator before I did
The crew continued to work on my makeup, I giggled at the feeling of the soft bristles on my cheek. I wasn't one for makeup but I wouldn't refuse to have it on me, especially if it was mandatory
"Alright places people. Places!" The director yelled
The crew immediately slipped away from my chair and in came the costume crew, they held out the white dress and I quickly slipped right into it
"Where the hell is Autumn!?" The man hissed
The door of the room then swung open, all eyes landed on the raven hair girl that had just entered. My heart immediately started to scatter in my chest, moving at a fast pace just seeing her face again. But her head was hung low and she avoided our eyes, walking directly towards the costume set
"Don't be late again" The director mumbled
"Whatever" I heard the girl mutter under her breath
She was just a few feet away from me, her hand gripped the script and her eyes scanned through every word as if she needed to memorize it all in just a few seconds
I couldn't help but stare at the girl, her brows were tightly knitted together as if she was in deep thought. I guess it was just her focusing on the script, but was that really just it?
She doesn't seem bother by me in the room nor did she spare me a glance despite having just kissed me a few minutes ago
Who does that? Act like nothing happens after you randomly kiss someone, making their knees weak.
I should get myself together, it's just a simple kiss and it clearly didn't mean anything to her so why should it mean anything to be. I'm tired of being dramatic
I guess when things happen we should just let it go and stop worrying about it. Right?
But then it all hit me in the moment, the first day of working with Autumn, I had found her in that same elevator locking lips and intertwined with some other girl. She clearly seemed to forget about her the same way she might have just forgot about me.
The sting in my heart felt like a ripping of veins, tugging and peeling open the flesh of the emotions in my body.
But I had to keep myself together, it was nothing. It needed to be nothing. She was accustomed to making out with people and leaving them then and there, she just didn't care and I knew that now. I guess we didn't need to talk about it, just move on.
Because that's what she does right? Just move on like nothing happened.
"Alright people, time to start filming. Day two of the movie" A familiar voice said, I glanced in the direction to see May sitting in her black directors's chair
Despite everyone being in a sour mood today, she was the only one that gave me a small smile. It was enough to assure me that everything was okay. For now.
Autumn placed her script to the table and brushed off the costume and design crew from around her. The girl took a deep breath in and walked on set, the exact place we finished filming last time
I inhaled deeply, making sure to feel every cold icy breath fill my lungs and leave hot, I needed to place my own life and feelings away to take in the character of daisy
My feet took control and I headed right out towards the set, my heart still raced in my chest as I approached the girl. There was always this nervousness I felt being close to Autumn, I realized I felt it when I wasn't pissed at her
"Quite on set" May said, my eyes glanced at her and she nodded
"And... Action" May said as a crew member clipped the record board
"I heard there's a lake out back, would you like to accompany me there sometime?" Jass asked
"Maybe.. Maybe I not" I smiled innocently, focusing on the green grass under me
My fingers brushed against the green glass so effortlessly, they weren't sharp nor hard like the ones you'd find in nature. They were just as soft as pillows, perhaps even softer. Smooth as velvet, brushing against my fingertips like water
"Do I have to try harder than this?" Jess asked
"Maybe.. Maybe not" I teased again
"Oh come on" She giggled
A feeling exploded in my heart just hearing Autumn giggle, I've never heard it before. She had never been happy nor showed any sign of being calm, being at peace with her own self. And sure it was just the character she was playing but it was still her voice, her sound.
"Maybe I should make you beg" I smirked
"Are you really going to make a poor innocent girl like me, get down on my knees of a maiden just to beg of her company?" Jess smiled
"Yes" I answered
"Hmm" She hummed
The girl smiled brightly, the kind of smile that reflected the sunlight. It showed her joy from her eyes to her rosy pink cheeks.
"I'll see you later Daisy" Jess said as she turned her back towards me, heading down the small hill we were on
I furrowed my brows and tilted my head to the side, watching the girl slowly head away
"Wait. You're leaving?" I asked
"I have to get ready" She said
"For what?"
"Well. I have to go freshen up if I'll be hanging out at the lake with you later" she said, almost reaching the bottom of the hill
"And who says I'll be there?" I asked
The girl then stopped in her tracks, her neck turned towards me and she held her smile
"Oh I know you'll be there"
