At the set, Selene had just finished another one of her scenes, which left her with only one more scene to shoot and the movie was finished. She couldn’t believe it was coming to an end already.
"Do you know when Xavier will co back?" She asked Kace who handed her a bottle of water. She had been standing outside for the past hour, acting. Thankfully, the sun wasn’t scorching hot but her throat was still perched.
"I’m not sure, I haven’t heard of him since yesterday," Kace replied. He combed his hand through his hair, his eyes searching for a particular soone.
"You haven’t what?! What if sothing happened to him?" Selene questioned, worry evident in her eyes as she stared at Kace, waiting for an answer.
Xavier had been gone for three days and the house was empty without him around. Selene didn’t have a good relationship with the maids, so she couldn’t find any entertainnt from them.
For the first ti in her life, Selene was worried for soone. She couldn’t calm her racing heart at the thought that sothing might have happened to Xavier. She was aware this wasn’t his first mission but still, she was worried.
"Nothing happened to him. If it did, Ito or Maxwell would have called to inform us. They are probably cleaning up so of the sses there. Don’t worry, he will be back soon," said Kace. Unfortunately, Selene didn’t stop worrying. If anything, his words only made her worry more.
Selene tried to calm down, worrying wasn’t going to get her anywhere.
"Do you miss him?" Kace asked her with a teasing smile on his lips.
Selene glanced at him before looking away. "Of course not," she replied. She made eye contact with Michelle who had been laying unusually low for quite so ti now. She didn’t make many mistakes in her scenes anymore, and she didn’t cause her any trouble either. Selene believed Michelle was cooking sothing up her sleeves and she was only waiting for her to start.
"Are you sure? Do you love Xavier?" Kace pried.
Selene hissed in annoyance before glaring at him.
"I don’t love Xavier," she lied. "The both of us only had a mutual agreent and that’s it. I don’t love him and I don’t miss him," she added.
"It sounds more like you are trying to convince yourself than you are convincing ," said Kace.
Selene clicked her tongue, already done with him. She sipped her water one more ti before uttering, "Let’s go ho?"
Kace nodded with a sigh when he didn’t spot Allison anywhere. He hadn’t seen her at the set throughout the whole day. It was a substitute make-up artist who helped Selene with her makeup.
He made a ntal note to visit her at the university again. He had not gone since the first visit which wasn’t a total disaster, but he didn’t get the chance to walk her ho after her last class due to his call at the hideout.
Selene grabbed her bag, about to leave when she heard soone calling out to her. She turned her head to find Liam walking towards them. Selene sighted Martha sitting on a bench talking to so of the crew—she still had a scene to shoot.
"You are going ho already?" Liam asked them both. Selene nodded. "Can I talk to you in private, Selene?" He asked.
Quite taken aback by his request, Kace and Selene shared a look.
"I will go wait in the car," said Kace, walking away already.
Liam waited for Kace to be completely out of sight before he parted his lips to speak, "I know this is coming out wrong but are you going to be busy tonight?"
Selene frowned slightly.
’How is that coming out wrong?’ She couldn’t help but wonder.
Shaking her head, she replied, "No, why?"
Liam sighed a little, a little relieved by her reply.
"I was just thinking, if you are not busy, I would like us to hang out together, just the both of us," he offered.
Selene felt a thunder strike as she stared at Liam for several seconds without saying a word.
She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
Martha who had been talking to a crew saw the both of them standing and talking. A sad smile crept on her lips before she looked away.
"So, what do you say?" Liam asked.
’He’s not joking,’ Selene thought to herself.
She had always seen Liam as her friend. Although the first ti they t, he always acted like she offended him with his expressions, but as ti went by, she realized he wasn’t so bad.
But his request was quite odd.
"Sure, let’s hang out. I will be ho alone anyway so hanging out is what I need now," Selene replied. She didn’t want to give it too much thought. Plus, she had been in that huge mansion all by herself. She wanted to go out and breathe so air since she felt suffocated staying there while Kace visited her now and then.
Liam’s eyes lit up in excitent. He was happy she accepted his request; he couldn’t wait for it to be evening already.
"But, where are we going?" Selene asked, curiosity laced in her tone.
"That would be a surprise."
"Alright, but it better be sowhere fun," she joked and he nodded.
After exchanging a few more words, Liam bid Selene goodbye; he would be picking her up later.
Selene got into the car and found Kace checking out his hair.
When he saw her get in, he asked, "Let guess, he asked you out?"
Selene blinked at him. "What?"
"Let rephrase that, he asked for a hang out with you?"
Selene blinked at him again.
"Yes, he did. Finally, I’m going out tonight," she said.
Kace sighed. "I would advise you not to go anywhere with that guy, Xavier would be super mad if you did," he inford her, igniting the engines of the car.
