McKinley Evans.”
Andrea looked angry that Jake’s attention wasn’t still on her. “And what is she doing here?”
“She’s my friend,” Jake said, slowly. “I invited her to come watch.”
“You don’t have friends,” Andrea said, firmly. “You only had me and you don’t have me anymore.”
I looked at her incredulously and then looked at Jake, hoping he would say something to her. Instead he just looked crushed at her words.
“All right, everyone back on the set!”
Andrea smirked. “Let’s go, Jake. Its our scene.”
I wasn’t sure what made me do it. It could’ve been the smirk on Andrea’s face as she hurt someone she used to love or it could’ve been the look of pain on Jake’s face, the most real emotion I’d ever seen on his face. It could’ve been pure insanity. All I knew was that something made me walk forward, take his hand in mine, and kiss him on the cheek. As I pulled back, I read the shock on his face and I smiled slightly, biting my lip. “Good luck.”
“Break a leg. You mean, break a leg,” Jake said, still in shock.
“That too,” I agreed, squeezing his hand. Jake’s smile returned and for a quick moment, I felt a little flustered.
“Come on, Jake,” Andrea snapped, taking his arm away from me and dragging him onto the set.
The next scene was a lot better than the previous. It was a scene where Mikey, played by Jake, and his girlfriend Maggie, played by Andrea, got into an argument over the time Mikey was spending on the current case. Jake’s acting was more genuine, though he could be channeling his real emotion towards Andrea. The only problem that he had while filming the scene was that he couldn’t seem to keep his eye contact on Andrea. I could’ve been wrong but his eyes darted in my direction several times.
We stayed there for the most of the day, though there was a long break for lunch and other breaks where we went back to the room and played video games. By the time it was time to go, I was ready to pass out. I had been up since four thirty in the morning.
We’d almost reached Brea when Jake pulled off the freeway to get gas. While he pumped gas, I got out of the car and walked into the mini mart to buy a soda. When I came back out, Jake was waiting for me, leaning against his car.
“I was wondering where you had went,” Jake said, as I walked closer.
“Just needed some caffeine,” I said, holding up my Dr. Pepper.
“Oh, okay,’ he said, nodding. He stood there, not getting in the car, just staring at me. I started feeling self conscious, and ran my hand through my long hair. I took a deep breath and looked away, wanting to avoid his unblinking gaze.
“McKinley.” Pause. “McKinley.”
“What?” I asked, meeting his eyes again.
Jake met my eyes and smiled at me. “Thank you for coming today. I had a really good time.”
I smiled back. “Sure. I had a good time too,” I answered, truthfully. We stared at each other for a moment longer. “We should probably go now.” I started walking toward the passenger side of the car.
Jake’s arm reached out to me, seemingly coming out of no where. He pulled me towards him and then stopped, so our faces were merely inches apart. We stared at each other and then he grabbed my face and started kissing me.
I didn’t react at first. I was too shocked to even think. Then, as if my body had a mind of its own, I was kissing him back, pushing him back against his car, and pressing myself closer to him. Then, as quickly as it began, it was over.
“Oh shit,” I said, taking a step back.
“Shit,” Jake said, running his hands through his hair. “Shit. You have a boyfriend.”
“Gabriel is not my boyfriend,” I said, automatically. “God, what the hell was that for?” I asked, angrily, shoving him in the shoulder.
“Wait, what?” Jake said, looking at me as if I had grown another
