Chapter 16

At that moment

Angel- Naomi!

Ashly- Oh...

Naomi- You're here,

Angel- I should go...( She turned to leave but I grabbed her hand to stop her)

Ashly- No you're not going,

Naomi- you two seem to know each other,

Ashly- Yah, she is my manager, can we just talk already

Naomi- Of course

Said Naomi as we went to sit down. I mean from all the people I could partner with why her, it would've been fine if she didn't have a history with my fiance but she did and I knew that things were going to be very weird. As we sat down, I noticed how uncomfortable my fiance was, she didn't even look at me while I was talking to Naomi, I mean if we were going to work together I had to talk to her. We spoke for like half an hour and after that I took Naomi's contact because we had to meet for workshops and stuff like that. As we were done talking she asked to talk to Angel but Angel left before I could even say anything so I apologized to Naomi and I also left. I mean, we just had to pretend like we forgot all about what she did. I went out and found sweetheart already in the car, I knew she was angry but she had to calm down . I went in and asked her if she was fine and she told me that I didn't have to take the role.

At that moment

Ashly- I've never said no to a role before,

Angel- This might just be your first time saying no to it please.....

Ashly- No,

Angel- You have to, I cannot be around that person you have to understand....

Ashly- I said no ,

Angel- I'm begging you ,

Ashly- It's just work, you don't have to talk to her, I mean, haven't you gotten over her

Angel- I have but,

Ashly- Then you wouldn't have a problem being around her, just be professional, unless you still feel something towards her,

Angel- Are you really doing this right now, are you

And just like that ,she left the car. I honestly didn't understand what was happening,I get it Naomi messed her up but I wasn't gonna end up leaving her so she shouldn't act like that. I just didn't want Naomi to think that there was something between me and her, I didn't want us to end up in an argument like this where she ended up getting out of the car but it happened. I just wanted to talk, to just act like there was nothing happening and we weren't mad at Naomi. Even though I hated her so much for doing that to her. Sweetheart wasn't making this easy for me to think. I stayed in the car for a while and then got out in order to find her. Atleast she didn't return home, she just went to a flower garden near by and she was crying. I didn't want to end up being the reason for that but I somehow did.

At that moment

Angel- You should go,

Ashly- I'm not going anywhere ,

Angel- fine I will go

Ashly- You're not going anywhere, you're my fiance remember, ain't no way you're doing this right now, you cannot let that person easily drift us apart, it's just work

Angel- Babe you don't get it,

I went to embrace her and yah, we both cried. I promised her that no matter what happened,I would never do anything that meant harm to her. I mean, she has been by my side, supported me, loved me. She never hurt me even once so who I was to even think of hurting her. After our short make up session we went back to the car and I told her that she didn't have to come with me to work if she was uncomfortable being around Naomi but she told me that it didn't matter. After that we went back home. Well, I got kinda busy in the few days that passed, after receiving the script, I had to meet up with the writer in order to understand the character I was portraying better, I also had to get close to Naomi so that we would have the best chemistry for the show. I was just afraid that my fiance would take it all wrong but I made sure to talk to her every step of the way. And on this certain day, it was even my birthday but we had work so she went to work with me , and there I had to shoot some intimate scenes with Naomi. I wasn't really affected by any of it, I was an actress after all. During our break, I went to get a drink from the cafeteria, and when I went back to find sweetheart at the set she wasn't there, she might've went to the bathroom so I just went there to find her. I was just in need of a little motivation kiss. I then opened the door, only for my heart to drop to the floor, can you guess what I saw. Yep, Naomi was in there with my fiance, she was pinning my fiance on the wall, I knew my sweetheart was held against her own will but I was still mad. I didn't say anything, I just stormed out of the bathroom and went straight to my car. I heard sweetheart calling out for me but I didn't want to stop, I knew that it would tempt me to attack Naomi and that would not turn out right. Especially for me. I'm not one to be driven by jealousy, or maybe that's what I thought but I cared about my sweetheart and I was no fool to not know that what happened was just one of the triggers I would always face. Even though Naomi didn't know about us. I made sure to leave the place before sweetheart found me in my car. I just drove straight to my apartment even though I stayed at hers. I just wanted some air, I wasn't angry at her. I just wanted to think. I called uncle and told him that I wanted to take a break and I would return to Naomi the following day. I just told him not to tell sweetheart where I was at the moment, I just wanted some time to think. }

Author here, allow me to part the situation for you to understand. Like she had already explained, Ashley wasn't mad at Angel for being close to Naomi, she was just jealous and didn't want it to be noticed. I mean if Naomi found out about the two of them, she wouldn't keep quiet, after all, she was still not over Angel. Even though she just used her and left her afterwards. After their sudden breakup, she got the role she was aiming for, got to shoot the series and made quite a name for herself. But still, there was nothing going on between her and her co-star, they were just coworkers and after shooting the series they just did fanservice and stuff like that and after that they parted ways like what most actors do and she had the opportunity to take in more roles like the one she got just like now, she didn't know about this series till her manager told her about it. She wasn't familiar with the company but since they noticed the power she held, they wanted to cast her alongside their biggest GL actress who was none other Ashly. The CEO of visionary Stars knew what he was doing when he arrranged the main roles for Ashly and Naomi. It was big money of course,they both had a very large following. So the situation now was really messed up, after the bathroom incident Ashly asked Naomi to leave her alone for she was over her and had someone who she truly loved. But Naomi wasn't an easy backing down person, she just simply told her that she wouldn't give up that's it. As for Angel, she tried contacting Ashly but she didn't pick up. She texted her but she didn't respond to her messages so she just assumed that Ashly assumed that she was getting back with Naomi which was not the case. She just didn't know what to do, she wanted to go Ashly's apartment but she wouldn't go there if she didn't pick up her calls. Things got worse when uncle Kevin told her that she had to take a break, well it was a needed one since the CEO even knew about it. She just went back to her house, she requested for an Uber of course and after getting there she just locked herself in and went straight to bed. She was very tired at this point, physically and emotionally. She wasn't as strong as she appeared to be and she always got emotionally invested in relationships and with what was happening she just thought Ashly was also breaking up with her. So yah, in the few days that passed she dedicated her time in to looking for a new job. She was very tired with the recent one, so she made use of her nursing degree. She went to apply for a job at the nearest hospital,it was actually out of the town she stayed at but since she didn't stay with her fiance anymore, she just had to travel those long hours . And as for her fiance, she actually just wanted to take a break, begin to shoot the series with Naomi and then explain herself. I know that she was doing wasn't really mature but she just didn't want anything to sabotage her relationship with Angel, that being Naomi. Well after that incident in the bathroom, Angel stopped going to work and Naomi noticed it. Since they had already started shooting the series, the two were advised to even stay together but Ashly refused to do that. Well this happened after they shot their trailer, their chemistry onscreen was a bit awkward. Not to mention the one offscreen, no matter how nice Naomi tried to be, Ashly didn't buy it. This happened for a very long time that both their managers were forced to talk about it. Well Naomi's manager to be exact, he did notice how cold Ashly was towards Naomi even though there was no bad blood between them, it's like she was forced to even shoot the show. Things got worse when she found out that Angel resigned from work, yep this made her realise that the situation was getting out of hand. Just a few days after finding out about her fiance's resignation, well she had just finished shooting and was getting ready to leave, she met up with Naomi whom offered to take her out for drinks.

At that moment

Naomi- Wanna go grab something to eat?

Ashly- No thank you, but thanks for your concern,

Naomi- We are okay right,

Ashly- What are you on about?

Naomi- I mean, you are not being as professional as I thought you would, you are probably mad at me but I don't know what I did,

Ashly- You don't know what you did, I saw you do it though so I don't get why you're acting like you don't,

Naomi- Tell me what it is then, I'm a bit lost

Ashly- My personal manager quit because of you, sis you know that?

Naomi- Oh, that, I mean, maybe she just wanted to go, it wasn't really me, I was just trying to fix things between us, nothing much. Maybe she didn't interpret it right,

Ashly- You were trying to fix what, you do realise that she doesn't love you anymore right, so I don't understand why you're doing this, you left her for heaven's sake and now you want her back like she's just an object you can trow and request for again!!

Naomi- You're upset,

At that moment Naomi tried to calm Ashly down by embracing her but Ashly pushed her away from her making her crash into a door, a class door by the way, Naomi wasn't harmed by the way but the security guards came to calm everything down, followed by both their managers. Ashly was done with staying calm due to what Naomi was doing.
