*Willa*"Willa! Willa, dammit, where are you hiding, woman?" I can hear my producer Angela's voice ringing through the halls of the studio, reaching me in my small office.A few seconds later, her head, with its carrot-colored curls, pokes in through my door, and I send her a smile. "Not hiding, my dear. I am right here in my office. What is it?"She walks in and quickly closes the door behind her, looking very secretive. "Oh, I have got some very big news. You are so going to piss your pants.""I would rather not," I say, looking at her a bit confused. Not many things would send Angela into a frenzy like this, and it definitely takes something special to have her all flustered on top. "Come on then, tell me.""You know how we talked about trying to get a big name for the season finale, right? Well, I got you not just one, but two top names willing to do this," she says, looking like she almost can't contain it. "Real A-listers."Oh, by the way, I am the host of a popular kids' show o

*Levi*"Oh God, that was the most awkward and uncomfortable cast meeting I have ever been to," Joel groans as we walk down to the cafeteria to get some lunch a couple of hours later.I look at him, running a hand through my hair. "What are you talking about, Joel? I found both Angela and Willa to be very sweet and easy to work with.""I think you're finding Willa more than sweet and easy to work with. For God's sake, the sexual tension could almost be cut with a knife, and I feel like having a cigarette," Joel huffs. "Even if you hadn’t told me, I would know you two have a past."I bite my lip. Is he right? Okay, I might have flirted a bit, but it hadn't been that bad, I'm sure of that… almost. I am single at the moment, and when I am, I tend to flirt a bit when there's a pretty female around, no harm in that. "I don't know what you're talking about.""Really, Levi? Are we going to pretend you weren't mentally ripping off her clothes and eye-fucking her brains out? And that she wasn't

*Levi*"Oh fuck, Joel, I think I just messed up everything." I sit down at the table where Joel is eating his lunch. I smack my forehead down on the table, making myself groan. Ouch, that hurt, but I deserve it.I know Joel is looking at me; I can feel his glare. "You know I wasn't serious about the need to go fuck her right here and now, right? I just thought you needed to clear the air.""I know, I know, Joel, but apparently some fucked-up part of me didn't get the memo." I sigh and shake my head at myself.Joel puts down his fork, his voice somewhere between very serious and laughing. "Okay, Buster, spill the beans. What did you just do?""I just very much showed her that I am still that jerk she might very well believe me to be." I say, probably looking very sorry for myself. I am not, and was not, that guy she believes. I was just, well, I am just very awkward and unlucky around her.15 years ago:"Oh God, Levi, why did you do that?" I look at myself in the mirror, feeling mortif

*Levi*"Oh, so you have cast me as the villain, then? Any particular reason for that? And why, pray tell, does Joel get the privilege of playing the hero?" I inquire, arching an eyebrow in her direction. My tone is light, laced with a teasing edge, as I try to hide the genuine curiosity beneath.Joel responds with a chuckle, a sound that's both warm and infectious, while Willa meets my gaze with a smirk that's all too knowing. "Well, you see, Levi, you just have this natural knack for embodying the villain, and Joel… well, he's just a better fit for the hero's role," she explains, a twinkle of amusement in her eyes."Oh, is that so?" I retort, my grin widening into something more mischievous. Secretly, I revel in the challenge of playing the antagonist. There's a certain thrill in it, a complexity that playing the hero seldom offers. It's an opportunity to explore the depths of character in a way that's both exhilarating and profoundly entertaining.As Willa outlines her vision for th

*Levi*Upon opening my door the following morning, I am greeted by Joel. "Good morning, Joel. Give me a minute to get ready, and feel free to help yourself to some freshly brewed coffee in the kitchen," I tell him."Morning, Levi," he replies, making his way into the kitchen. When I join him five minutes later, he's comfortably seated at the breakfast counter, cradling a cup of coffee in his hands.Pouring myself a cup, I stand in the kitchen area, letting out a long sigh as I lean back against the counter.Joel, catching the hint of my mood, arches an eyebrow and probes, "It wouldn’t happen to be Willa causing you to sigh like that, would it?"Taking a sip of my coffee, I confess, not having had the best night's sleep, my thoughts preoccupied with Willa… pondering over our recent interaction and contemplating my next move. "Honestly, I don't know how to persuade her to go out with me. I'm scared she won’t even consider the idea," I admit. “I feel rather lost.”"Alright, Levi, for me
