Naveen was a big bunch of nerves, usually, he was calm, cool, and collected. Today, however, he was extremely nervous.
He didn't want to have his first kiss on set with some girl he had never met before, it just didn't seem right. He thought this moment would be special, he didn't want to share it with all of his viewers.
Naveen had already tried to get out of the kiss, and he couldn't. He figured the best course of action would be to find the actress he was supposed to kiss and get to know her better, hopefully, that would make it a little less awkward.
An assistant guided Naveen to her trailer. He knew he would have to deal with this girl for a while, they were keeping her character until the season finale, at least.
Naveen knocked on the trailer door to find one of the prettiest girls he has ever seen.
He realizes he should probably say something to her. He said, "I'm the guy you have to kiss, and I thought it would be better if we talked before we had to kiss."
She said, "Come in."
They sat down on the couch and Naveen blurted out, "I haven't kissed anyone before, so if you could please go easy on me, that would be great."
Marina laughed, Naveen didn't think it was that funny. Marina calmed down and asked, "Would it make you feel better if we kissed right now to get the first one out of the way?"
"Yes, actually it would." Naveen took a deep breath and leaned closed the gap between their lips. He cupped her cheek while their lips moved in sync. It felt, natural.
Marina pulled away, and Naveen thought she looked impressed.
He asks, "How did I do?"
Marina smiles and says, "Not too bad for a rookie."
