Being insecure isn’t good for Parker Williams’ image as an indie movie actor, but he can’t help it. He seems to forget that he snatched an Oscar from the one hit movie he made, and he keeps comparing himself with the success of his boyfriend Declan, who is a blockbuster star. Things get worse when Parker sees how close Declan is to his sexy costar, Ryan Dexter.<br><br>Parker thinks he’s no match for Ryan and leaves without confronting Declan. When he disappears, a worried Declan tries to contact him without result. Then he finds Parker’s cell phone, left behind at the house, and Declan doesn’t know what to do. Should he let Parker go and turn to Ryan for comfort? Is his relationship with Ryan only onscreen, or is there something more between the two leading men? Or is Parker really the star of Declan's heart?

Misunderstandings

What an understatement that was to Declan, who couldn’t stop shaking ever since he received the parcel. His heart. His love.Declan could tell just by looking at it. This was from Parker. Lord. Parker had decided to contact him despite everything Declan had done to him.


Leaning against the kitchen counter to steady himself, Declan fumbled to remove a small envelope that was attached to the chocolate box and pulled a card out.


It was a plain card. A white plain card. With nothing scribbled on the outside.


He couldn’t make himself open the card.


“Whoa, whoa.” Ryan’s flailing hand caught Declan who was hammering a large chunk of iron plate over and over. “What is it?” Ryan asked and turned Declan to face him. He was quite surprised at the flushed, sweaty face and bewildered expression. Declan didn’t seem to want to talk. He yanked himself free and returned to his metal sheet, heaving his hand high, ready to pound it again.
