Unscripted Love
Estrella de Amore
Chapter One: When Sasuke Met Sakura...
A/N: This story was actually inspired off of a lot of crack couples I've seen about actors and actresses. I figured as much that I should run this story and see how well it goes. I hope you like it!
Sasuke held the rosette in his arms with their bodies leaning on each other for support. He could feel her hot breaths on his face and every now and then, some of her pink strands fell onto his face. While that was partially due to the blowing fan on the side of the set, he felt more like a hero than ever.
Their eyes were locked on each other's. Sasuke's onyx eyes and her meadow green eyes. Completely fixed. He noticed the way her pupils danced each time she scanned his face. The way her long lashes would cover the emeralds every time she blinked.
"I love you." He muttered to her. The words simply rolled off his tongue. He didn't hold back on saying those three words. It just fit perfectly with the scene.
Her eyes jumped in amusement. She giggled and repeated the same words to her. "I love you too, Noriaki."
He closed his eyes to let the words sink in. In a way, he forgot that the cameras were on. The two were not actually on a cliff where he had just saved her from falling to her death. In actuality, the two were being filmed for their latest action flick.
"And, that's a wrap!" The blood red headed director announced after smacking his director's clapper. The click the black and white object made drove Sasuke away from his thoughts.
He had been so involved in the scene. He was mesmerized by the way the milky skinned girl in front of him held herself in such grace and etiquette. The three words and eight syllable line he said hadn't been part of the script. The words came straight from his heart like a race car. He didn't have the manpower to stop the words from escaping his mouth.
Everybody around them clapped. The movie that Sasori had just directed was finally finished. The movie that took about a hundred days to complete was now over.
"Er, Sasuke, you can let me go now." The sweet and silky voice of his co-star was like music to his ears. The past hundred days with the rosette were the best hundred days any man in this world could ask for. He shook his head and released his arms off of her, despite the nerves in body telling him not too.
Once she was set free, she quickly grabbed him for a hug. He felt a peace in her arms as he puts his arms around her once again.
"Good job, Sasuke!" She exclaimed. "And, nice job with the improv at the end! It really fit the scene." Once she let go, he faked a smile on his face. He was an actor and he was going to have to act like his words were meant for movie purposes only. He would have to act like the eight million, six hundred forty thousand seconds he spent with her were based on professional levels.
"Huh, thanks." He muttered to her. Nothing else could process through his mouth besides those two words.
The way she smiled made him feel soft. A smile: something rare for him outside of the camera grew on his own face. He felt at ease when he saw her happy.
The rosette had been in the movie industry much longer than he had. His first movie released just a few months ago, but her first movie released years ago. She was considered a shining star the moment her feet touched the red carpet. Everything Sasuke saw in her was what the world saw in her.
Grace.
Etiquette.
Beauty.
It was no surprise that she was a model before appearing on the silver screen. Her cherry blossom hair worked perfectly for the bubbly girl she was. No matter how short or how long she kept it, whatever hairstyle she chose to do simply fit the structure of her golden face.
"Are you coming to the party that Sasori is holding with the rest of the crew tomorrow night at the club?" Every syllable she took felt like angel hymns.
He paused to think. His manager, Kakashi Hatake, had informed him that attending such parties would only help his career. While he was one film old and had a super success with his first movie, there were still many steps to take to become an A-lister like his co-star.
Crazy and drunken parties at club were never his type of scene. But, if she was going, what reason was there not to go?
"I'm still debating. How about you?"
She chuckled lightly and nodded her head. "I'm thinking of going. I doubt I'll be able to stay the whole night. Tomorrow I have a few more promotional events to attend on our tour around the country," she explained with a small red pigment growing on her cheeks, "the promotional tour ends this week and Sai really wants Naruto and I to put our best efforts into this. After all, our movie releases in two weeks."
He could feel the anxiousness that the rosette was having regarding her upcoming movie. He nodded his head in a feel of empathy. Once someone became a movie star, their whole life changed. It was routine to go to parties that lasted till six in the morning and then have to go to a movie shoots, photo shoot, or some sort of an event at seven o'clock sharp.
Sasuke remembered the day his movie producer as well as director, Izuka Umino, explained to him how life was about to turn upside down. Izuka was a big time movie producer. At the young age of thirty five, he had accomplished more than directors and producers senior to him.
Coming from a somewhat famous family, he thought his life was crazy enough. Apparently, crazy was an understatement for the life of a movie star. Yet, that never discouraged him from the career path he took. Instead, it motivated him more and more to work harder.
"Your movie is going to be a hit," Sasuke told her with a cheeky grin on his face, "actually it won't be a hit. It'll be a blockbuster."
She stroked his face and shrugged. "I've never been one to count the amount of money a movie has made. Honestly, I've never understood how the money is counted. I mean there is so much criteria to consider! The overseas market, the domestic market, plus all the money sold from soundtracks and posters and there is just so much."
"Is that so? Then, what have you always been interested in?"
Again, she shrugged. "For almost my whole life I thought I would become a photographer like my mother. I took hundreds and thousands of different photography classes and even thought of possible names for my own studio. I didn't want to rely on my mother's fame. But, then someone noticed me. A consultant from a modeling agency. He took me in as his own and I modeled for almost seven years until I was noticed by Tsunade. Ever since she brought me to her management company and soon the movie she decided to produce, she has treated me like a daughter."
Sasuke smiled. Her life, her journey into this industry was like a fairy tale. One by one, people began noticing the girl's talent. He had to admit that the girl in front of him had skill. She was creative, beautiful, and had a true passion for what she did.
"I think I know what you mean." Sasuke admitted. "I mean I modeled for ten years before I saw my passion for movies. Honestly, I figured I was going to become a sportsman or something. I've always had this love for soccer. Fencing, too."
"You never know what life has planned for us, right?" She let out a wholehearted laugh. Her laugh was adorable. It reminded him of a baby's. No matter what mood someone was in, just hearing the giggle escape her lips switched your mood to happiness automatically. No questions asked.
"We never do." He muttered. It was true. For so many years, Sasuke had vowed he wouldn't fall for his costars. It seemed tacky to him. It also ruined any chance of professionalism. What if a couple had undergone a bad breakup? Those two actors were probably never going to work again. And, there you go, another pair for a movie cut off the list.
Ironically enough, the girl in front him had dated one of her costars, underwent a horrible breakup, and even spoke publicly about how much of a cheat her boyfriend had been to her.
While he would have hated that, there was still that aura around her that made him swoon. He was speechless when it came to describing her.
He felt, he knew, he believed that he was going to break his own rule for her. For the first time in his life, he felt like this for a girl. After his first movie, he had been with any person he hung around. Boy or girl. Mainly, it was a girl, but there were still a few oddballs out there that believed he was hiding his sexual orientation to the world.
Some even believed that the only reason Sasuke received his part in Izuka Umino's directed movie was because he slept with the man in exchange for a role in the film. A feat called casting couch.
Sasuke knew he was attractive. Yeah, he may have sounded arrogant, but he was sure as hell that if anybody wanted to achieve something in this industry, arrogance was the key. He believed his raven hair and onyx eyes were more than enough to wipe a girl off her feet.
The movie Sasuke acted in prior to this, his first movie, included several shirtless scenes. He exposed his toned abs and peculiar body for girls to drool while watching the movie. From what the newest tabloids stated, he was Konoha's newest sex symbol.
Now, who could deny such a title? Sasuke wouldn't.
"Well, Sasuke, I'm going to get myself cleaned up from all this makeup and stuff. I'm probably going to end up going to the spa." She spoke to him after releasing a large sigh. "I might end up going with Hinata. I dunno! I'll see."
Hinata was her best friend. He nodded his head. He figured that the last part of her goodbye was towards herself.
"I suppose I'll be seeing you at the party tomorrow then." The rosette said to him once more before walking away. This time, he nodded his head and smiled.
"Yeah. I'll be there."
She walked away from him, swaying her hips. His heart beat faster knowing that he was going to see her one last time before she was overwhelmed with the shootings of her new films or the promotions of her movie with Naruto.
The next time he was going to be able spend time with her was probably going to be when the duo were promoting their newly completed film.
After this, he had a meeting with his Kakashi. Last night at three in the morning, which was nothing to people who worked in the movie industry, he called him to inform him about the latest movie offers he had been receiving post his work in Iruka's movie.
Offers had been lined up from even before the movie had come out. Iruka should have been a publicist too because of the way he advertised his movie stars. Temari, the girl with whom he debuted with, was gifted hundreds of compliments by Iruka on how he believed she would be Konoha's next star. Plus, working in Iruka's production, Will of Fire Productions, as a debut film andhaving the man direct the film was more than enough to prove his confidence in an actor.
He walked away from the set that Sasori had designed specifically for the scene that obviously took place near a cliff. His vanity bus was just a minute walk. He hoped that he'd be able to see the rosette before she left.
Adding to his luck, he did. The girl had just walked out of her pink and white vanity bus dressed in a completely different outfit from what she was wearing before. Obviously she couldn't wear a costume from the film no matter how good Sasuke thought it looked on her.
Prior to entering his bus, he smiled to her. She saw him and waved. He pressed his lips together before waving back.
"Goodbye, Sakura."
