PART TWO

CHAPTER 28

It’s been three months since I’ve seen Jacoby. Well, face-to-face anyway. He’s been on TV, promoting a movie he filmed prior to ours, and now we’re set to take photos and sit for an interview for a magazine issue that’ll come out a couple months before our movie does.

To my surprise, he never reached out after that wrap party. I definitely expected him to, and I’m not sure if that’s narcissistic of me or just hopeful, but I was waiting for him to at least text.

Sure, I never did either, but I was still holding on to my anger.

The week following our wrap party, photos started coming out of Jacoby and Faye being out together, so there’s rumors of a rekindled relationship and gossip about mine and Jacoby’s friendship.

Of course, we haven’t been seen out together, so it fuels the story that we’re still fighting over the same girl. However, the social media team for Another Life have been posting behind the scenes photos and videos that were taken while filming. The hope is that this will keep the hype up on the movie and put an end to the rumors. So some people believe we’re just as close as ever, some choose to believe we hate each other over Faye, and others are hoping we’re secretly together, which sort of makes me laugh.

As I wait for the shoot to begin, I scroll through social media and find photos of Jacoby and I from when we were filming the end of the movie. Fans get a hold of behind the scenes pictures, or even scenes filmed on public streets and put together edits. I click on the comments of one video and read through them.

Oh my god, the way he’s touching him.

They’re low-key fucking. At least I hope so.

Y’all are crazy. You can see the tension in Jacoby’s face. He hates him.

Wrong. That’s sexual tension. He wants to jump his bones.

They are so cute!

I can’t wait for this movie.

Did you see the way Roman looked at Jacoby’s mouth?? Lord have mercy. If someone looked at me like that I’d be on my knees.

I’m feral.

I want my boyfriends to be boyfriends!!

I laugh, shaking my head, and then stumble across some thirst trap edits of Jacoby at the Venice film festival. Everything is in slow motion as he smiles and poses for cameras. He winks at someone in the crowd, and I hate what that wink does to me as I watch.

“Hello.”

I jolt, nearly dropping my phone as I look up and spot Jacoby right in front of me.

“Shit.”

He doesn’t grin, he just watches me as I turn off the phone and pocket it.

“How are you?” he asks.

“Fine.” My heart is still racing slightly, but I push my shoulders back and give him what I hope is a casual once-over. “You?”

“Great.”

His tone implies differently, but I don’t question it.

“Well, good. So, I guess we’re back to being fake best friends for the interview.”

“I guess.”

“Anything new I should know? Dating anyone?”

I regret the words as soon as they leave my mouth.
