you became a hollywood sensation when you appeared in one of the top box office films of 2022, the hiker. after getting the role as Maya Winters on the movie, your fame grew. Now, being on-demand, casting personnels started to offer you more roles.

when a well-respected director in the industry reached over to you with a very good proposal and script submission, you agreed into joining the film.

with lionsgate entertainment corporation paired up into making the motion picture a success, you were now chosen as the female lead of the movie, Valentina Mencias.

" Oh boy, we need to celebrate this, Y/n!," Your manager Christopher cheered, running towards the wine cellar to commend the triumph of you getting casted. " Tell me, how did it went? were you nervous?," he asked, pouring the liquor onto two wine glasses.

the two of you were in your penthouse established on the top floor of the skyscraper, glimpsing at the nightlife city of Las Vegas, Nevada.

" I was a little bit nervous auditioning, but as you can see, it went great," You smiled, accepting the glass the manager had just extended to you. " I wonder who they will cast as Jane Cabrera. She's going to be my love interest in the movie," You explained, taking a sip of the red wine. your manger smiled mischievously, and you kinked your eyebrow. " What's with the smirk?"

" They didn't tell you? "

" About what?"

" About who's going to be playing Jane Cabrera!," he giggled and you shook your head.

" Mm, not really. I mean, i didn't ask," You chuckled. " Do you know who it is?"

he nods. " Yep, absolutely. it's going to be your beloved ana de armas," he announced, and you almost choked on your wine.

" What?! Really? h-how? how do you know it's her?," You were surprised, but mostly because she's an actress you've been crushing on for awhile now.

" im your manager, Y/n. i get informed about a lot of things, okay?," he sparked a smile. " but it was obvious they were going to cast her as Jane Cabrera. Have you seen her on the night clerk, knock knock, exposed? she's great at acting! Now, she's going to be your castmate. how you're feeling about that ?," he nudged your shoulder, teasing you.

a week later

" the film ' Wild Card ' is a drama-action motion picture about a couple in a stagnating marriage, living in a deceptively mundane existence. Each has been hiding a secret from the other: they are assassins working for adversarial agencies. When they are both assigned to kill the same target, Benjamin Danz, the truth comes to the surface. Finally free from their cover stories, they discover that they have been assigned to kill each other, sparking a series of explosive attacks," the director read out loud to the group of actors and actresses he had gathered on the conference room. " as i told each of everyone of you during your auditioning tapes, this is going to be a marvelous action film! and it will all be thanks to you guys, " he smiled, proudly giving his speech and being grateful for the casts that has been hired for this movie.

everyone was sat down in a circle, holding their scripts on hand as the director explained everything about the flick, and how rehearsals were beginning at the early brights of tomorrow.

ana de armas was across from you, her eyes attentively paying attention to the chief, as yours were just glued on hers. sure you've seen her on her movies before, but never in real life. looking at her in high definition was like glimpsing at a recreated character out from a game designer's booklet. she was surreal and so beautiful.

as if she've gotten the feeling someone was watching her, her orbits went directly towards yours. With a light blush painting your cheeks, you immediately darted your eyes down to your papers you had in hand.

a couple of hours later

after everything got settled for tomorrow, everyone was saying their farewells to their fellow cast mates.

" Damn, Ana, i envy you," one of the actors that were there whispered to her, and she giggled lightly.

" she's very pretty," Ana replied, the two of them admiring your beauty from afar. knowing you were going to be paired with ana as a love interest, the man couldn't help but glorify you with the Armas girl.

you were talking with a few of the other actors who were going to make an appearance on the film, divulging your thoughts on the script.

eventually, your eyes landed back on your costar and you excused yourself to acquaint her. the guy that was with her soon departed at your arrival, leaving you two alone.

" Excited?," ana asked you with a beam.

" Yeah," You nodded, returning the smile. " I, um- I didn't expect to see you around here. i'm a huge fan."

" I'm a huge fan of yours too. and let me say, i've been a fan even before your name became on the rise  with your latest film. so i can proudly say i've been admiring you since the inception of your career," she chatted chirpily, and your eyes grew wide at her declaration.

" really? i'm not going to lie, i've been watching you too since your debut," you admitted. " Your english has gotten even better since then," you smiled, and she bit her bottom lip with a delighted look plastered on her face.

" Muchas gracias, i did went through heavy lessons," Ana giggled.

two months later

( one of the numerous scenes you were going to rehearse with De Armas )

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

during your rehearsals with Ana De Armas, practicing scenes went effortlessly great. Director's satisfaction was accomplished, and he adored the chemistry and work ethic you two shared.

the scenes had a lot of commotion involved. from close combat, to practicing one on one military deed. both of yours and Ana's characters were assassins, so extreme engagement of fighting scenes were practiced.

there were a few scenes were close affection with ana was involved as well, and you couldn't help but feel jittery when those bits were rehearsed. something about kissing ana even if it was just acting, made you feel something. it was possibly because you were already crushing on her, but something about Ana was just so alluring to you.

what you didn't know, was that ana was drawn to you too. but of course, keeping professionalism on set was the number one rule.

after weeks of reciting the scripts and preparing for the final cut, production began to shoot the scenes. during the nine months it took to develop the film, ana and you grew closer. the amount of time you two shared on set was inevitable to not link in some way.

so eventually, you and Ana started to hang out off-set. paparazzis would most of the time find you either at a coffee shop, or at the beach with her. of course, just as costars. none of you dared to bring the baffled feelings you two had for each other to light. especially since neither wanted to bring an uncomfortable setting to work in case things weren't mutual.

however, things took an unexpected detour when filming was concluded and the movie premiere was around the corner.

you and ana were both at a aristocratic family-owned restaurant, located at the center of Las Vegas downtown. the waitress had just gotten the orders, and now you were clinking glasses of wine with the latina girl.

" Wow, this place is beautiful," Ana admired her surroundings, while you gave her a smile in return; taking a sip of the most expensive wine the eatery had to offer. " Have you been here before?"

You nodded. " Once. And it was actually with my manager, Christopher. "

Ana smiled, herself taking a sip of her red wine. " everything about this place is marvelous, Y/n. Gracias for taking me here."

You gave her a beam. The De Armas girl was looking stunning in the tight black dress she was wearing tonight. It clasped her curves perfectly, length just above her knees. the hair was loosely cascading over her shoulders, with a bright red lipstick plumping her lips so nicely. " Just showing gratitude, Ana. You were amazing as my cast mate. They hired the perfect Jane Cabrera. You portrayed her very nicely."

She bit her bottom lip, " And you were excellent as Valentina Mencias, Y/n. let's hope the audience enjoys it as much as we did."

" I'm pretty sure they will. All the movies that you've been in, you've never disappoint," You smiled, taking another sip of your wine.

Two hours later, after eating your exquisite plates brought by the waitress and exchanging long conversations about everything in general with Ana, the restaurant invited a band to come and sing live music.

With the band making an appearance at the front stage of the deluxe eatery, the spotlight shone on them. the woman began to sing a very angelic song, as the rest of the band played the adequate instruments on beat of the slow melody.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

" Ay por dios, Y/n! Do you wanna dance to this song? Is one of my favorites of all time!," Ana squealed, asking you to have a sway with her.

You chuckled, but nodded. " Of course, who sings that song?," You asked, standing up from the table and offering a hand to Ana. She gladly accepted it, clasping it with yours as she stood up with your help. The two went ahead, and walked down to the front, where more people were joining to dance with their partners.

" Fergie! It's like a very old song from years ago," she explained, as the brunette placed her arms around your neck.

" Fergie? You mean, the Fergie? The one that sings glamorous and Fergalicious? that Fergie?," You asked to be sure, and Ana nodded with a giggle.

" Si! Why are you so surprised?"

" i've never heard her sing this song," you chuckled, placing your hands around her waist. " it's very romantic ," you added, gently swaying to the melodies.

after sharing a light conversation about the song's background, Ana rested her head on your chest. You smiled gently, comfortably adoring the moment.

as time passed by, the unexpected happened. With Ana's head retreating from your chest and now eyes locked with yours, she confessed something.

" Me gustas. I like you..."

Even though you felt extremely flustered and nervous about the sudden disclosure, deep down your heart was having a race with the road runner.

Knowing that Ana was also sharing mutual feelings for you too, you went ahead and told her about yours sentiments towards the petite. While you explained Ana why you didn't expressed them earlier to her, both shared the same reasonings.

" I didn't want to make things awkward on set  in case it wasn't mutual," You told her softly, placing a few of her hair strands behind her ear.

" Me too, Y/n. I was actually very scared," Ana replied to you with her thick cuban accent. " Pero a la verdad yo te quiero mucho. I adore you, Y/n."

Concluding the night, things went to yours and Ana's favor. After the song was over, you walked her down to the secluded balcony the restaurant had to offer. With the evening bright stars aligned and the moon illuminating, you shared a kiss with Ana.

Days later...

when the movie premiere finally arrived, most interviewer's questions weren't in regards to the movie.

after paparazzis snapped pictures of the kiss you shared with Ana back at the restaurant, that was the gossip all around hollywood.

" Are you and Y/n a thing?," the interviewer asked Ana,  making her giggle nervously.


" Um, quizás si ( maybe yes)," She replied in spanish, teasing him.

In conclusion, you and Ana both ended up giving a clear answer to the interviewers when you two posed together on the premiere, and shared a kiss- confirming the relationship status you had with her.
