Five days have passed since the last party, but Meghan is still upset about what Eric said. She has to find some distractions. Then, something in mind comes to her. She takes a glance at the watch and turns on TV. Ian told her several days ago that the TVD crew accepted an interview and had a program on TV. He reminded her to watch it when he called yesterday.
She has been watching the Vampire Diaries every week and she feels it is TVD that takes Ian away from her. But more importantly, it is Ian that is acting in the television drama and she can't miss any wonderful moment of it as his girlfriend, despite the fact that it is Ian's working. And the one who has hitherto impressed her most is Nina since she began watching the Vampire Diaries. She never talks with Ian about his work for the reason that he will take it for granted to leave her for working. But in private, she often discusses this television drama with her girlfriends and she is amazed at Nina acting two characters perfectly at the same time. It makes her curious about this 20-year-old girl. However, when she pulls her thoughts back and watches the interview, she gradually senses something unordinary as time goes by.
On the screen, the camera is photographing at Paul, Nina, Ian and the hostess.
The hostess is interviewing Nina. "Nina Dobrev, hey, the beautiful vampire girlfriend," the hostess jokes, "Tell us about how you got this character. "
"Actually I was not sure if I could get it," Nina puts her hands on her knees and glances at the hostess, going on speaking from memory. "Before the audition I got a fever and I was afraid that this chance would pass by. You know, for an actor, every time you loses a chance, it equals drawing an awful line in the acting career and I certainly didn't want this to happen. So, despite the fact, I went to the audition. I tried my best because there were so many rivals for this character. It was difficult to get it. But fortunately, everything went pretty well that day and I didn't do anything regrettable. I was so excited that I almost couldn't fall asleep the night I received the note that I got it. "
Ian watches Nina with concentration and listens carefully to everything she's saying. The gentleness, which is difficult to find out, flows in his eyes. It's not obvious and most people don't see it.
"You're successful, Nina Dobrev. Your acting skills make everyone who's expecting the Vampire Diaries sincerely convinced. " The hostess says appreciatively. "Ha, you used to act when you were a little girl, right? Are you an actress full of enthusiasm for acting since young? Little child star? " She asks.
Ian puts one hand on the couch behind Nina while the other one under his chin. Hearing what the hostess says his body slightly shakes because of amusement and he echoes. "Yeah, little child star, of course she is. " Then he tries to hold back his laughter and makes himself look normal. But his tiny laughter is still heard by Nina. She turns and glares at him with a flickering smile.
It is like an alarm, meanwhile it seems more likely to be little quarrels with eyes between two best friends. Seeing this, other crew members are looking at each other in speechless despair, feeling funny.
"When I was young, I did attended some shootings, but it was no more than guest performer. " Nina turns back and answers the hostess with a wholly different facial expression compared with the just one.
The hostess senses something interesting between Ian and Nina. She leans forward a little. "Haha, it seems Ian Somerhalder knows some inside stories? "
"If you're talking about the little child star thing, yes, I do. " In Nina's eyes, now there are full of kick-ass smiles on Ian's face. "She is sensitive to this nickname. "
The hostess understands in a second. Ian goes on talking. "But I can understand. After a period working with her, I find that she is a very careful and very hardworking actress. Sometimes you may even feel so amazed at her insistence and you think her ability is far beyond what she means to be in such an age. " Ian says seriously, without any of the amused smiles as he just had.
Nina smiles with pride. "Are these praise for me? "
"Absolutely. " Ian turns to look at her and gives her an eye thing of certainty.
"It seems you two are getting along pretty well? " This question of the hostess raises a sensitive topic.
"Yeah, she's like my little sister. In this crew, it is like a big family. " Ian scratches his hair and says.
Nina nods with tacit agreement, approving of what he says.
Then the hostess begins to interview Ian after Nina.
….
Meghan feels more upset after watching the whole interview. At the beginning, she tries to comfort herself that she is too jealous as a woman, but it is loathing. Although she's clear that Ian and Nina are just colleagues or maybe good friends, she still feels weird and uncomfortable. Is she jealous of Nina being together with Ian, her Meghan's boyfriend, while she can't even see him for months? Or is she jealous of the fact that Ian and Nina are bonded with so strong friendship? She knows she starts to woolgather and it makes a woman, who can't see her boyfriend for months while maintaining the relationship all by phone, feel crazy.
No, even their relationship is stable, she still need to do something to break the weirdness in her heart. Besides, Eric and stuff have made her upset enough. After considering for a while, Meghan makes a decision- she is going to Atlanta, giving Ian a big surprise.
