We kissed, I fell under your spell by nadiaa featuring genuine leather purses
I walked out the
meeting with a potential producer and pulled out my phone, noticing I had 5
missed calls from my agent and a few texts from her that said call me.
I walked to my
car and before I started it, I called her back, "Why the hell have you
been ignoring my calls?!" She yelled into the phone.
I pulled back to
alleviate the screaming, but even a few inches away it still hurt my ears,
"I was in a meeting with a producer! What's going on?"
"What's
going on is that you never told me that you've been screwing Gavin
Coopers!!" She yelled and my heart beat quickened and I sat up straighter
in my seat.
"Where'd you
hear that?" I breathed out.
"I read it!
On the cover of People magazine!! Why didn't you tell me Gavin was the reason
you went to Chicago?!" She kept yelling but all I could hear was the sound
of my heart beating. "Better yet, why didn't you tell me you were
dating?!"
"We're not
dating." I told her as I placed my forehead on my steering wheel.
"Well from
the pictures it definitely looks like the two of you are dating!!" She
yelled once more.
"I need to
go Alice!" I told her, hanging up on her.
I stuck my key
into the ignition and drove towards the first gas station I came across. I put
on my sunglasses as I tried to go in covertly and spotted mine and Gavin's
faces on the cover of People. Where the hell were the paparazzi hiding?! I
didn't think anybody would have know we were in Chicago so I let my guard down.
F.uck my life! I grabbed the magazine and set a five in the counter before
storming out. In the few minutes that I was in the convenient store someone
called the paparazzi and flashes of lights were going off in my face.
"How long
have you two been dating Amelia?!"
"How did
this start? I thought you hated each other?"
"Does your
sister know you're screwing her best friend?"
I put my head
down and tried to shove past the crowd to get in my car but they still swarmed
around me. I tried not to have a panic attack as I tried to escape their
clutches. I didn't know where else to go except to Gavin's… but I was afraid
there were going to be people there… I went anyways and as I predicted there
were tons of people waiting to get my picture… I pulled into the driveway and
quickly ran into the backyard to get in from the back of the house. I shut the door
behind me and took a deep breath. Gavin must have still been sleeping…
I went to his
room and pulled the blankets off of him and threw the magazine on him, jostling
him awake, "What the hell?" He groaned out.
"Who did you
tell?!" I said on the verge of tears.
He
sat up quickly and focused his eyes on me. He reached out to grab me, but I
stepped back, "What are you talking about?" He asked, picking up the
magazine, flipping through it to find out about the bullish.it accusation that
Gavin was trying to get back at Aria by screwing me. It was completely wrong
and I was confused as to how they even came up with this idea, "I didn't
tell anyone! I haven't even told Aria because you told me you still wanted it
to be a secret!"
"Then
what the hell Gavin?!" I asked as he kept looking through the
article."It's tabloid fodder Mia, it's not like they caught us hooking
up!" He said loudly at me.
"There
are reporters all over your lawn!" I told him.
He
ran a hand through his hair, "So you thought it would be a good idea to
show that you had a key to my place?" He questioned.
I
hadn't thought about it at all…
"I
didn't know who else to talk to! My agent is freaking out, I can go maybe two
steps with having a seizure from the damn lights…" I trailed off. He
rolled his eyes and grabbed his cell, "What are you doing?" I asked
confused.
'I'm
getting the damn paps off my lawn." He told me as he slipped into a fake
accent, "Yeah, I'm downtown, and Miley and Liam are having a public fight
right outside LAX… or maybe it's a reunion. I can't really tell."
I
raised a brow, "You think that'll work?" I asked with my hands on my
hips.
He
held up a finger and the sounds of reporters zooming off emerged as I blinked
back at him, "I started doing that when Aria and I moved in together and
they were hoping for… well more of the same thing I'm guessing, but I gave them
good tips, nothing too extreme, just where some locals have lunch or some
sh.it. Now they believe me every time."
"Oh."
I said, sitting down on the bed, "What are we going to do?" I asked
him as he tugged me closer to him and wrapped his arms around me.
He
kissed the top of my head, "We could tell me we're rehearsing for a show
or a movie or something." He suggested.
"That
might work…" I trailed off.
"Or
we could tell them the truth?" He said, making me laugh because I thought
he was being sarcastic.
"Yeah
that won't make either of us look bad…" I said sarcastically with a sigh.
"I'm
not hiding us. I don't care who knows Amelia, I'm not embarrassed we're
sleeping together… I've asked you to come to events with me."
"I
thought we agreed that we were going to keep it a secret?" I blinked back
at him.
"Well
you kept saying it and kept undressing so I kept nodding." He gave me a
small grin.
"Gavin,
I'm being serious." I told him as he grabbed my hands.
"Me
too Mia… I really don't give a sh.it who knows about us. In fact, it's probably
better this way. We don't have to hide anymore."
"The
way you're talking Gavin, it seems like you want a relationship…" I
trailed off, raising a brow. It seemed insane and so unlike him.
He
sighed and ran a hand through his hair, "And if I am?"
I
stood up quickly and looked down at him, "I'd ask if you're smoking
crack!"
"I've
been having an internal battle Mia. I don't hate you, not anymore and when I'm
not with you, I want to be with you…" He trailed off looking at me.
I
looked at him and saw that the expression on face and it seemed genuine,
"Gavin…" I trailed off, unsure of what to say.
"I'm
being serious Amelia. What's the harm in us, whatever that is, goes public? Do
you care about the public that much?" He asked me.
I
shook my head, "Of course not Gav, you know that. But don't you think this
is crazy?" I said with a sarcastic laugh, "Wouldn't the old us ask
'what the f.uck is wrong?'"
"Things
change… I don't really give a f.uck about the old us, or the public. I just
don't really want to hide you anymore… I don't want to hide us." He
shrugged.
"Gav,
you don't think this is insane?" I said with a small grin.
"Yeah,
definitely." He agreed.
"So
you're just into the idea of telling the world we're f.uck buddies?" I
asked him slowly, trying to wrap my head around it.
"…I
think we're dating Mia." He said running his hand through his hair.
"We're
not dating!!" I exclaimed quickly, scared of what I just heard from him.
"Well
we're not sleeping with other people and you spend more time in bed with me
than in bed alone!" He pointed out.
"Yeah,
but dating would imply wanting to be together and we don't actually want to be
together… we don't get along as people. Just… sexually."
"Okay."
He agreed with me but that scared me, "So we admit to sleeping together.
What's the worst that can happen?"
I
blinked at him, "Uhm, the press calls me a sl.ut and that I"m taking
my sisters leftovers?!" I told him quickly, going to the worst possible
scenario in my head.
"Is
that what you think?!" He yelled angrily.
"Gavin…"
I trailed off.
"Aria
and I were never together, we never wanted to be together!" He explained.
"Oh,
so nothing ever happened between you two?! In all the years you've been
friends?" I asked once more.
"Is
that what you still think?! That I'm f.ucking you in some pathetic attempt to
be close to Aria? Or to get back at her for not choosing me?! I never wanted
her!!"
"You
didn't answer my question." I replied, folding my arms over my chest.
"We
kissed. Once. We don't have the kind of chemistry people who should be together
have. The kind of chemistry that WE have!" He said pointing between the
two of us.
"We
don't have chemistry Gavin we have sex!!" I tried to reason.
"Yeah,
you've thrown that in my face a few times in the last 20 minutes. And if you're
so worried about it, why don't you just stop sleeping with me?!"
"That's
not what I was trying to say! You just know how my relationship with Aria is.
I've always felt inferior to her! Sleeping with her best friend has been a
scary thought!"
"Aria
and I are just friends. Just like you and that d.ick Seb are." He glared
at me. "Aria is dating him or whatever and you've never been together with
him. The same thing is with Aria and me."
I
swallowed, "I've thought about Seb before..."
"And
I've thought about Aria! But like I said it was nothing! That kiss I had with
her years ago wasn't even a tiny bit as good as when I kiss you Amelia! There
has to be something good between us. Or it wouldn't have worked so well for
this long."
"Gavin!"
I said, not wanting to have this conversation, "I'm not trying to be mean,
I swear."
"Well
do you think that telling me we're just sleeping together is a big confidence
boost?!" He yelled back at me.
I
was taken aback, "I thought that was what you preferred Gav..."
He
sighed, "Yeah there are things that you do that infuriate me, but then
there's things that I enjoy about you. I've been confused." He groaned.
"What
are you saying?" I asked confused.
"I
don't know..." He swallowed, "What would be the harm in putting the
dating label on us?" He shrugged.
"Other
than the fact I'm a complete mess and have issues with guys?!l" I
explained, it sounding right in my head.
"In
addition to sleeping with each other Amelia, we've had amazing conversations
that show me how you really are. I know you're amazing... Much better than you
think of yourself..."
"Gavin..."
I trailed off as I looked at him. "I'm too damaged; too fucked up for
anyone. You even thought that!"
"I
was an idiot! I didn't look deeper when I should have.."
"Gavin."
I said looking at him, "We can't... I'm too screwed up."
"Then
we should probably stop whatever this is." He told me.
I
felt hurt... If it was just sex why would I be upset? Cause I'm a girl; that
was the only explanation.
"Gavin..."
I trailed off.
"No
you're right. I don't want you to come off as a sl.ut to the press."
There was a lump
in my throat, "I'm sorry Gavin..."
He shook his
head, "Don't be. You're doing this for your career. It's
understandable."
When he said it
like that it made me seem like a shallow actress... Even though I always
thought I was more than that.
I pulled him in
close, "These were the best months of my life Gav." I told him
honestly.
"Mine
too." He said pulling me in a kiss, "You should go now though. If you
stay any longer I might have to ravish you."
I chuckled,
"Okay..." I told him and I felt like I had more to say but would it
matter? I was a mess and there was no doubting that, yet Gavin had been
understanding and sweet to me.... He'd been amazing. It was so uncharacteristic
of him, but it made me happy and I almost thought it could be love.
"Bye."
I whispered before leaving him and wondering if I made a mistake.
