Scarlett pov

"Hmm...." I bit my lips shutting my eyes feeling her softly biting my skin followed by open kisses

I felt her hand inside my shirt traveling my body gently caressing my breast adding much pleasure making me just dropped my jaw hearing her heavy breathing on my ears

She started removing my shirt letting it dropped on the floor as she pulled my body closer to hers harshly grabbing my waist while she put gentle kisses on my chest her hand free hand reaching to unclasp my bra

My eyes shuttered realizing what I'm doing and Just pushed her off of me "N-No... no... Y-Youre not o-on the right s-state of mind.." i shaked my head grabbing her shirt on the floor making her wear it while i grabbed mine and just left the room still catching my breath

I just sat on the floor resting my back on the door feeling so guilty...not stopping it sooner...it seemed to me that i took advantage of her situation.

The door moved almost like someone also rested their back on it "are you there?" I mumbled

she just hummed in response both of us in silence " I'm sorry.." i sigh looking down still mad at myself

"I can see the stars" she chuckled actually making me smile hearing how amazed she sounded

"You do?"

"Yes... They're beautiful" she mumbled

I felt a heavy feeling in my chest just imagining how much she's been through alone.. specially living alone in this huge deafening house.

She kept on talking about the stars but I'm lost with my own thoughts..

"I was the only one she had and...just dropped her as if she didn't mean anything to me" i shaked my head letting my tears fall

"Who?" She suddenly asks

"Hmm?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"My girlfriend.." i chuckled

"oh you're gay? " She suddenly says and i just looked down feeling myself smiling

"Hm hmm"

"Did...they leave you?" She hesitantly asked

"My girlfriend?"

"No...can i tell you something?"

"Sure" i wiped my nose

"Promised me first you won't leave me"

"I promise.."

"I like girls.. I'm gay" she says in the most emotionless tone ever that it just made me giggle

I stayed quiet with a smile on my lips thinking how she thinks i don't know that when she just told me earlier that she have a wife and kissed me

"Hey... You promised... Did you left? Where are you??? Are you still there??"

"OH UHM.. YES.. I'm here... Can i come in? " I stood up waiting for her signal to open the door.

I opened it and she's just standing looking at me innocently. We both sat down at the floor again resting our back at the door

"Do you have a celebrity crush?" She suddenly mumbled

"I do"

"Really???? Who??" She asks glaring her body on me excitedly

"Alex.." i smiled remembering our time in canada

"I have a crush too, her name is Scarlett Johansson.. I'm gonna marry her someday"

"I heard she's straight" i playfully says shrugging

"I was too...before i saw her" she smiled looking at the ceiling "you see that? Look at the stars, they're so pretty" she sighs still in the same expression

"I can't see them..."

"Why not?"

"I don't know.. i just can't"

"Let me describe them. They're really shiny and look that one is like really big and that one is small and you can see some patterns. Do you know stars are like just big rocks and not like 5 pointed triangles and look! That one is big and that one is small and you can see some patterns"

I'm just staring at her.. i feel bad that she had to deal with this but at some point I'm glad she created her own world that she can finally be her

I suddenly felt her wiping my cheeks " your eyes are sweating" she innocently says making me just look down and cracked a laugh.

I stayed on her side the whole day helping her get things done. I feed her, help her shower and we even cleaned her room..

-------

"Goodnight.." i smiled kissing her forehead tucking her in her bed.

As soon as i went outside her manager was back and she did y/n's groceries for her while i offered help to organize them.

i opened the fridge and it's literally just bottles of liquor and some fruits " she's a lot nicer and in good mood today.. you should visit her often.. I think that would help her a lot" she broke her silence

"I'm glad i can help" i smiled but i quickly dropped it thinking... How does she know?? Isn't she out all day???

"Her room is covered with cameras.." she suddenly says

" Oh.. so you uhm.. see the--"

" Yes.. and I'd rather not talk about that" she casually says removing the bottles on the fridge replacing them with healthier beverage

She sighs and suddenly faced me "what do you want from her?" She frankly asked

"Huh?"

"Look...y/n is a daughter to me...if her biological mom can't.. I'm here and i will.. so I'm asking you right now what do you want from her?"

"I love.. her.. I'm serious about us" i defended

"So you're not using her for clout?"

"What??? Of course not...both our intentions for each other are pure...i was just too tired of people neglecting me and the kids and so i felt so devasted when she denied us" i looked down swallowing thickly

"But you know what she's been through..you showed zero compassion on what she felt...while she did her best to reach out to you and now that she's done.. you're finally realizing what she means to you?" She scoffed seriously

"Yes... That's what happened" i firmly says

" And i hate myself for that...but i just want you to know that i love y/n as much as you do....i never intent to use her for fame.. y/n sees that.. i hope you do to" i walked out not wanting anymore conversations with her.

As soon as i hopped back in my car my agency called "where are you?" He asks

"At y/n's...on my way home.. why?"

"You're with y/n??"

"Yeah?"

",GREAT! Continue what you're doing. Invite some paparazzi to take documents of your interactions" he suddenly says making me stop from starting the car

"Huh?"

"You just got tons of new movies and series to approved! Going out with y/n paid off..just continue what you're doing and you'll be back on the spotlight the soonest" he hanged up and i just gasp for air
