First Kiss

Chapter 3: First Kiss

Kieran's phone kept on ringing and he was still sleeping.

The last ring suddenly woke him up and he cussed. Answering the phone call, his mother yelled, “Where the hell are you son?” He adjusted the phone as he quickly stood up from the bed.

“Good morning mom.”

“I asked a question, Kieran, don't tell me you forgot about the movie you are participating in today? This is my friend's production and you're planning to disgrace me, huh?”

“Mom, can you please stop concluding, I never said I won't be available for the shoot okay? It's just...” He checked the time and saw 10 am.

“It's just what? I am listening because you will have something to say.” 

“I will call you back mom.”

“I don't want you to call me, I am already at the shoot and I will be waiting for you, and don't you disappoint me because I promise my friend you have no shoot today and you will be very much available.” 

“But mom.” The call ended and he gasped, keeping his phone aside.

“My mother is just a case I need to solve soon.” 

He placed a call to the manager letting him know he will be late and they could record other scenes before he comes and the manager obeyed without a question because they know the worth of a Hendrix in their movie.

“I will love to take it if you don't mind, I have a little talent when it comes to acting,” Nora said and they all gazed at her.

“Tell me you are a serious young lady?” One of the crew members inquired from Nora.

“Yes I am serious but I do not know if you will accept me,” Nora replied, having a low tone expecting they would decline her offer immediately since she is a nobody and also wearing the uniform of a worker there.

“How dare we decline? you got the pretty face for the role unlike that ugly lady who just left, I must confess such roles like this should not be given to her.”

“Yes, it shouldn't, so what's your name lady?”

“Nora Remington,” Nora replied with a smile.

“So Miss Nora, you mentioned you got some skills in acting right?”

“Yes ma'am.”

“Good but one more thing Miss Nora, are you sure you can take this role? You are acting with sir Hendrix, I believe you know about him?”

Nora has no idea who Hendrix was but this is an opportunity for her to open the chapter she once closed and she thought of lying by saying, “Yes I do and I will be honored to act with Hendrix despite anything.” She replied in a polite tone and the rest of the crew faked a smile and whispered to the other colleague, “She is the First Lady I am seeing to like him when others are running from acting with him.”

“You are right but we have no choice but to make use of her, if she gets embarrassed by him it's not our problem, we found a solution to keep our job already.”

Nora keeps wondering what they are whispering about but she just hopes they don't have the plans of changing their minds at the end of their discussion.

“Come with us Nora to the dressing room, we need to prepare you into your character.”

“Wow, thank you so much.” She almost hugged them all but had to control herself.

They walked with her to the dressing room and tried out different dresses to fit the role of a rich lady looking damn hot and irresistible.

Nora came out trying the last outfit given to her and their jaws dropped, “I can change to another if this doesn't look and I am sorry this is stressing you.” She pleaded.

“No Nora, you look damn sexy in this, this is perfect, now sit let's get your hair and make-up done.”

“Thank you so much.” She replied and had her seat.

After the makeup was done, Nora could not even recognize herself anymore, if she should tell someone that her father is the president they will so believe her.

“Nora you are so beautiful, I wish your face could be on the billboard.”

“Thank you very much but you all have forgotten one thing.”

“What is that? We can be clueless at times.” One of the crew members replied.

“The script, I don't even know the role I am playing,” Nora added.

“Your role is very simple, your name is Shirley and you love a guy named Logan but he is very poor, your father doesn't want you with him and he quit his job because your father threatened him.”

“Interesting,” Nora commented.

“Yes it is, so you were drunk and went to his place, after some lines, you kissed him and you both ended up in a romance.”

Her eyes widened hearing this, “Miss Nora are you okay? Are you having second thoughts?”

“Oh not at all, kissing is just a piece of cake.” She responded and they were all happy.

“Now rehearse your lines while I inform the director you are almost ready.”

“Sure.”

She was left alone and she looked at the mirror saying, “It's just acting, and kissing is not something huge right.”

Kieran arrived at the place of the shoot and his mother scolded him as they walked to his dressing room to fit him into character.

“Son, have you gone through your script?”

“Damn it, I got too busy to open it, do they have a spare one here?”

“Not at all, you are just taking a scene for today, and it's easy. I read it and you will love it, you are acting as Logan.” His mother didn't mention the part of the girl kissing and romancing him because she knows he will turn it down.

She hopes in her heart her son doesn't ruin things this time around.

Everyone was ready and then they acted to begin, “I hate the fact I can't be with her because I am nobody.”Kieran spoke as Logan. Nora came in drunk as she fit into her role as Shirley.

“Logan! I caught you.” She started laughing as she fell.

Kieran suddenly became scared to get closer to her and his mother gave a sign to beg him not to ruin this, he encouraged himself that it was just an act and he tried to get closer to her, “Shirley have you been drinking? You know what, I will take you home.”

He raised her up and was already finding it hard to breathe, “I don't want to go home Logan, I want you.”

“You are drunk and..” Unexpectedly she kissed him and he didn't know the time he continued with the kiss without unlocking as they both ended up on a couch and everyone's jaw dropped looking at this.
