We kissed, I fell under your spell

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.
