Intimately Enchanted

"When a great talent is on screen, you don't see the actress. Only the character she's become. You see a girl with scientific disorders, a civil rights icon, a rape victim, an untalented heiress, or a young woman with big dreams. These five actresses have rewarded moviegoers with fully dimensional characters, some drawn from real life, all of them larger-than-life. The artist who's brought those characters to real-life is our nominees for performance by an actress in the leading role."A faint yet confident smile appeared on Lorraine's lips as the nominees got announced on the screen. Her eyes gleamed as her name came into the view.She held her breath as the atmosphere became suspicious, her stomach twisting uncontrollably."And the Oscar goes to... Lorraine Acker for 'Genetical'."Applause followed through the hall and the music started playing. Lorraine's heart swelled. Rapture engulfed ber, and she felt like yelpi

Lorraine went towards Ana with an inevitable sulk on her face. Ana was officially the biggest cockblocker of the planet. "You know what you did was illegal right?" Lorraine said as Ana winked sheepishly. "Illegal goes for your brother." She answered, handing Lorraine her phone. Lorraine smiled secretly at the mention of her brother, wearing the bathrobe a maid had handed her on the way before pressing the phone to her ear and walking away to the corner. "I'm way too high for this, little one." She groaned out on the phone. "Couldn't you celebrate your Oscar victory sober?" Her brother joked as she chuckled breathily. "Don'

Lorraine's favourite thing during the journey of making a movie was the memories she made with her star cast and all the crew. She learnt a lot from all the senior actors, they laughed, danced and all the tiredness just seemed worth it. She'd smile so genuinely, her heart would warm when her cast would surprise her with a cake on her birthday on the set. It was her home. It was the best place she could ever wish for.Hollywood was a place that made her feel that it was worth it to step out and do something thrilling and totally out of her comfort zone.She could even dare to say that her assistant and her friends from the film industry had better memories with her than Matt, Ivey and Ana.Although, what's a celebrity without tea? What's a celebrity without a few scandals and downfalls?She was never the one to give up. But now she was doubting too, with each 'one more shot' the director said. 5 years to th

Sebastian was in the recording studio, having a run in with his producer about how the drop beat of the title track of their upcoming album wasn't ear catching enough when his phone rung in the pocket of his jeans. His attention averted there, he told the producer to excuse him before seeing the collar ID. He immediately swiped the answer button. "Lorraine, just a second." He quickly muttered, muting the call and standing up from his chair."You two seem to be getting really close?" His manager commented."None," Sebastian pointed at his manager, glaring at him with raised eyebrows. "Of your business."Sebastian quickly piped before running off to outside of the studio to have some privacy. He checked if any cameras were rolling and sighed in relief when there weren't. He answered the call."You were saying–?""No, no, Iv

Lorraine's heels clicked the floor in perfect tuts as she legged through the deserted corridor, her skin prickling hot because she knew he was analysing her body from behind with that drowning gaze of his. She turned around to look at him, eyes sultry and heavy from the alcohol as she opened the door of the last gate of the corridor with her key card in one swift swipe. It was something addicting in the way he caught her lips. Sebastian's lips tasted of champagne and Lorraine grazed her tongue ever so lightly to savour it, her nails digging into his nape as he held her firmly against himself, pushing her on the wall and increasing the pace of his lips. Lorraine's reflex was instant when she gripped his shoulders and switched the positions, making Sebastian lean against the wall. This was the thing about Lorraine, one of the first things that caught Sebastian's eyes, while most women wanted Sebastian to take the
