This Isn't Just Pretend

Chapter 5 : Private Jet

“Miss Carson, your jet is ready,” someone who worked for the airport interrupted.

“Oh, goodie! You guys will love the jet, I designed the interior with the help of Philippe Starck himself,” I bragged before escorting them into the VIP area and over to the jet loading. The inside of the jet was fancy, but comfortable.

“Sit wherever you wish,” I motioned to the jet while snagging my usual seat, Sebastian obviously sitting next to me. I buckled my seatbelt before snuggling into Sebastian’s side while we quietly talked about nothing in particular. One of Bridget's friends who was also on the jet suddenly squealed mid-flight before coming over to us.

“I just realized why you look so familiar! You're Sebastian Camery! You are an amazing up-and-coming actor!” she squealed. My heart stopped for a beat but Sebastian responded without a beat.

“Yes, actually! I'm currently on a break between movies and decided to spend as much time as I could with Elamira while I was off. It's not too often we get the chance,” he responded. I smiled over to him fondly and he was smiling down at me already.

“It is such a pleasure to meet you, I'm really a fan,” she responded. She soon found her way back to her seat and began quietly gossiping with her group of friends.

“You didn't tell me you were ‘up-and-coming’” I teased with a smile. I was glad he knew a way to handle the situation with such ease.

“If that's what you want to count it, sure,” he responded with a chuckle.

“I have some friends in high places, maybe I could help you out with your next gig,” I offered.

“Really, you’d do that?”

“Of course, babe,” I responded with a wink. “Plus, where else can my connection to the film industry come in? It’s not something you use every day.” He was stunned into silence, which made me slightly proud of myself. I hadn’t been able to stun him yet so it was an accomplishment in my book.
