Chapter 2: Who Are You?
I quickly turned around to see who hugged me.
It was a girl. She must have been my co-star. However, it made me uncomfortable when she hugged me.
"Ah, are you my co-star?" I asked.
The girl then looked up at me. Her eyes were a beautiful sky blue color, and her hair had golden locks cut to her lower back. She was really pretty.
She then smiled and answered. "Yes, that's me. My name is Princess Ichigo."
Wow. I never heard that name before. It was...different.
"Nice to meet you, Princess. I'm Sora Takahashi." I smiled and stretched out my hand for a shake.
Suddenly Princess grabbed my wrist and pulled me close to her face. She then began to blush. "I already knew who you were, Takahashi-sama. I hope we can become even closer after this recording."
My face then turned bright red. What was this woman talking about?! If only she knew I was a girl.
"I'm glad you two are getting along already." The director smiled. "You guys are going to be much closer after this scene."
"What do you mean, director?" I started fanning myself.
"Well, there's going to be a kiss scene between the two characters." The director smile. "You did read the script beforehand, right Takahashi-sama?"
I could feel chills spreading through my body. I forgot to read the script. I then took it from the director and saw in bold [Gin kisses Sakura passionately].
I, of course, was Gin, and Princess was Sakura. Why didn't dad tell me about this?!
"I...I...have to kiss..." I began stuttering.
Princess then laid her finger right on top of my lips. "Don't worry, Takahashi-sama. I'm wearing strawberry chapstick, so it will be a sweet journey."
How ironic.
I then began taking a deep breath. I knew that I couldn't let my dad down. He is counting on me.
"I'll memorize the lines quickly." I said with a stern expression. When it comes to memorizing lines, it's super easy. However, the kiss scene...what am I supposed to do?
"We are ready to start shooting now." One of the cameramen announced.
My heart began to beat faster and faster. I wasn't ready.
"Ready....go!" The director started.
Princess was standing there under the umbrella and was staring off into the distance. The commercial we were working on was for this chapstick that was supposed to be sweet. So, I had to kiss her. There was no other way to avoid this.
I walked up to Princess and prepared my lines.
"Sakura. What are you doing here?"
Princess then turned to me with tears in her eyes. "I was waiting for you, Gin."
Her acting was amazing. Being able to begin crying like that was outstanding.
I then took in in a whiff. "That smell. It's strawberry?"
She then grabbed my sleeves and dropped her umbrella. "I...I love you, Gin!"
My heart skipped a beat when she came closer. I then cupped her face. I then moved closer to her face. She closed her eyes and I felt her breath against my lips. Her lips were so close to mine.
I then began having another chill. I wasn't into girls. I was into manly men. I just couldn't do it.
I then pushed Princess away from me. I looked at her shocked face as she was farther away.
"Cut!" The director shouted. "What happened, Takahashi-sama? You were doing so well."
"I...I just can't kiss girls..." I began to tear up. "I'm sorry." I ran out of the film room.
I never had anything like this before. All the other jobs I did had no romantic scenes in it.
I then felt someone grab my arm. I turned around and saw that it was Princess. I then pulled my arm and continued running.
I began to feel guilt. I must have hurt her feelings, but I just couldn't kiss her. I'm so sorry, Princess!!
I then ran into Ren. "Takahashi, aren't you supposed to be working?"
"I...they made me try to kiss a girl! I couldn't do it!" I hugged Ren and then wiped my snots on his shirt.
"Who made you do that? What on earth was your father thinking?!" Ren questioned. "Let's go talk to your father, alright?"
I nodded my head in agreement, and we walked towards dad's office.
