Kiss scene

Iris POV:

Wait, did Ken just apologize to me?? What the hell's happening.

I just stood staring at him without blinking. Is this even Ken?

I decided to confirm.

"What's your name?" I asked the person in Ken's body standing before me. He didn't expect me to have found out he was not Ken because he wouldn't be so shocked.

Waking up from his daze he asked

" What do you mean by what's my name" going down on his knees he continued "I know, I haven't been the mate someone would wish to have but am deeply sorry about that, and I'll love to start afresh with you again. Just so you know, have broken all ties with my flings, so what do you say?".

I was lost for words, I could see the sincerity in his eyes, no matter how much he insulted me, he'd still be my mate.

With tears in my eyes, I responded.

"I forgive you, even if you've hurt me so much, regardless of what you do you're still my mate. I…" before I was able to finish my sentence, he got up and hugged me tightly while whispering his apology in my ears. I'll still torture him when the time comes.

Seconds turned into minutes, minutes into hours, hours into days and I and Ken had become closer, we were more like friends still snarling at each other. There was a day when one of his flings, Zoey, who came to our room where we were having a meeting, she flirted with him and I thought he was enjoying it until she said something disgusting about me, and he got furious at her that he insulted her so much bringing tears to her eyes. I couldn't help feeling happy.

A few days later, it was my parents' death anniversary, and I wore a gloomy expression throughout the day. I went to my parent's grave early in the morning. I sat at the front of their graves and thought about my childhood when they were still alive. My mind drifted to the young boy have been seeing in my visions. He seemed close to me,, but I don't recollect knowing him, and that was as a result of the accident that killed my parents.

I left their grave hours later and gloomily went to the agency.

Everyone noticed my strange mood but no one had the guts to ask because I was surrounded by a cold air. I continued with my life and we began shooting our movie after some days.

Months later, It was time for us to shoot our last scene for the movie "pain or death".

That morning, Felicity decided to go through my script because she wanted to understand all what the movie was about.

"Iris!" Felicity shrieked, stopping me from wearing my high-heeled shoes.

"What is it?" I asked irritated.

"Are you sure you've read your script thoroughly?" she asked.

"Yh, very well" I replied half-heartedly.

"So that means you know you are shooting a kissing scene with Ken today" she probed further.

Baum, my shoes fell from my hands.

"You must be mistaken, there was no kiss scene"

"Oh really, then why don't you take a look at this" she said passing the script to me.

After reading the script, I felt very anxious. I had no choice but to go and act the scene.

I got to the location where the shoot was going on, after I had been assisted in changing into my costumes and make up, it was my turn for the kiss scene.

At the scene:

"You know I'll always love you" said acting Ken.

"I know I feel the same way too" I said, tears falling out from my eyes.

Ken used his thumb to clean my tears and held my face between his hands, he brought his mouth closer to mine. Just as he was about to kiss me, the director shouted from afar, "Cut!".

This was our third try of the kiss scene.

Ken ran his hands through his hair, showing he was frustrated.

"Is this your first time?" he asked

"No, I have always been acting" I replied feeling annoyed.

"Then do better than this" he snapped at me.

"How do you expect me to do better since we've done nothing but to snap at each other since we've met" I barked out.

He didn't reply.

"Action" the director shouted.

"You know I'll always love you" said acting Ken.

"I know I feel the same way too" I said, tears falling out from my eyes.

Ken used his thumb to clean my tears and held my face between his hands, he brought his mouth closer to mine, lingered a little before calling his lips on mine, I clenched my hands on both sides of my body.

We remained that way for minutes before the director called out "Great job". I was released from Ken's grip and immediately left the scene.

I got into my car and told my driver to take me to our Villa.

Getting home, I immediately called Felicity out of her room.

"Babe am back" I shouted happily.

"How was your last shoot?" she yawned lazily coming out of her room.

"It was good, the movie would be shown in all movie centers by next week. It's the same date with my birthdate". I said feeling happy.

"That's great, we are going to make your birthday party grand, it's going to shake the whole world, I'll start preparing invitations"

Staring at me sharply just as I was about to refute she said "and don't you dare say you prefer not to celebrate your birthday, you can't keep living a boring life".

She was right, my life has not being anything but boring.

Felicity called her parents informing them about my birthday party, in which they responded with an "Oh".

This wasn't like them, Felicity gave me an apologetic look. I shrugged it off, thinking they had some difficulties they were facing.
