Dream Star

"Mm."

Kiryu looked very troubled. "Seriously, don"t misunderstand or anything. While I did want to act as a couple with you in the movie. I didn"t know the story would--"

She leaned forward and covered his mouth with her hands. "It is okay, Kiryu."

He needs to stop doing this. It does make her feel bad, but there is nothing she can do about this. However she felt very uncomfortable. So this was the reason why people were sn.i.g.g.e.ring when they saw her. It had nothing to do with them doubting her skills or anything. It was because they all knew what kind of story this would be.

A deep sigh crossed her lips. What a troublesome situation, I don"t want to deal with something like this now. But if I backed down, would Kiryu not get in trouble? As Lila debated this, the doors slammed open revealing a sweaty looking Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka.

Her eyes widened when she saw her husband. Ah..

He was holding a script in his hands and looked very angry. 

"Oh Karas.h.i.+mkun, welco--"

Haruka took long strides across the room until he was directly in front of her. "Did you agree?"

"I wasn"t aware of the details."

She would have refused otherwise. Haruka could act with as many females as he wanted. But Lila did not want to see it. Let alone play the second female lead that would lose him. It may just be a script but it still made her feel uneasy. If she agreed to play such a role, then would she not be jinxing herself?

Her thoughts broke off when she felt his arms wrap around her waist and he lowered his face to kiss her lips. "I am not breaking up with you, even if it is for a movie."

Lila laughed softly. "Um, this is quite the entrance."

She did not think he would do this to prove his point. 

But it seems like he was not finished. 

Haruka held her tightly. "Why are people so cruel wife? I don"t like being separated from you. Don"t they know that I am addicted to you?"

Uh…

She knew everybody was speechless. Since when did the famous playboy Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka act so clingy, and childish in front of a woman?

From the corner of her eye she felt somebody staring and glanced over to see Rikka who kept shaking her head.

Is it that strange?

"Uh Karas.h.i.+msan…" The director broke the silence.

"Change the script."

It was a mere three words but Harukas words surprised everybody.

Wait what? Change the script? Even if it is Haruka, asking that from a famous director is--

"Change the script? Yes of course."

If Harukas words did not surprise everyone, the directors words caused a bigger sensation. Many people started to whisper.

"Even if it is for Haruksama.."

"He is still a j.a.panese.."

Many racist sounding comments came from everybody. Indeed it was unheard of for a popular director to change the script for any artiste. Haruka is only a member of the j.a.panese entertainment board too, he is not an actor. But, perhaps she underestimated his influence?

Haruka nodded. "Good. My wife and me will take a break. If you still want us to act, give us the results in two hours."

Her sweat fell when she heard those words. Is that not too brutal? Two whole hours?

…

"Haruka…"

"Call me your husband."

It was not a request but a demand. Lila however was completely out of breath, for the past twenty minutes Haruka kissed and touched her all over, making her feel very hot.

"Lila, my wife." Haruka brushed his lips against hers. "You were going to agree right?"

"I didnt want to get Kiryu in trouble."

"But could you stand me getting intimate with another woman?"

"No." Lila exclaimed loudly. "I would hate that."

Haruka flicked her forehead. "Then quit acting so stupid for. If you don"t want me to go to anybody else, then don"t let me geez."

Lila looked down at the ground. I can"t tell him I feel insecure still. Haruka is trying his best for me already. I can feel his love more through his actions these days.

"Sorry."

He did not say anything but pulled a folder from his bag. "This?" Lila said surprised.

"I wanted to help you."

Her eyes widened when she realized what these doc.u.ments were for. Haruka..even though she was the one who said that stuff to Kiryu about not working well with Haruka. Here he is making an effort to help her. Lila wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his neck.

"What"s wrong? Still upset?" He patted her back.

She shook her head. "I am happy." 

She is happy there is somebody who treasures and loves her so much. Lila felt her eyes go watery. It is stupid to cry about this but she does not care what others think of her. 

Haruka did not reply but he did caress her back. 

"Hubby." Lila mumbled. "I want to do things to you."

Haruka blinked before he burst into laughter. "Sure wife, but this is a public place."

Lila looked at their surroundings and frowned. This isn"t fair, even though she wants to touch, why on earth are they outside for? She tried to look around for a quieter s.p.a.ce but unfortunately she could not find any.

Haruka cupped her cheeks. "If you want to, we could go back home. Or I could find a hotel."

"I want to." Lila admitted.

"Then okay wife, let me find a place."

She wants nothing more than to stay by his side and remain in his arms. But, Lila recalled the expression of the members of the cast. "So many people disapprove of us being together. Why?" Lila doesn"t understand it all. Why do people wish to separate them so badly?  What did they do wrong?

Haruka bent down and placed a gentle kiss on her lips, as though to rea.s.sure her. 

This always worked, Lila felt her turbulent emotions gradually calming down. "If it"s this person then maybe.."
