Taylor’s POV 

+25 Bonus 

The night hums around us it is low electric and too quiet to be comfortable.the cinema lights fade behind us replaced by the muted glow of streetlamps spilling pale halos across the asphalt. 

my shoes makes a little squeaky sound against the pavement the rhythm almost hypnotic beside Aiden’s steady stride.between us the silence feels heavier than it should dense charged like the air before a storm., 

i tuck a loose strand of my hair behind my ear pretending its casual pretending my pulse is not trying to betraying me with every beat. 

the scent of rain still lingers in the air the wet concrete is like a faint perfume mix with the metallic bite of city air. it feels like the kind of night that feels suspended waiting for something to happen. 

Aiden walks a step ahead his jacket catching the glow of the passing headlights.with his hand is shoved deep into his pocket his shoulders tense but composed. 

he has not said a word since we left the building and Neither have i. 

when he suddenly stops i nearly collide into him. 

my breath catches. What-” 

he turns.. 

and the streetlight flickers above us painting shadows across his face- sharp cheekbones unreadable eyes that quiet storm he wears so effortlessly. 

the distance between us shrinks though neither of us moves.my chest feels tight the air slipping in shallow bursts. 

for a heartbeat nothing exists but the sound of our breathing.then without warning he closes the space between 

  1. us. 

his hand finds my waist its steady warm unyielding- and before i can think his lips are on mine. 

its not tentative. It’s not gentle. its deliberate. 

the world tilts slowly at first then all at once.my breath catches halfway in my chest trapped between shock and something far more dangerous. 

his mouth claims mine his lips firm deliberatetasting faintly of mint and something wild something that burns its way through me like truth set on fire. 

for a split second instinct screams at me to pull away to ask what we are we doing but the thought dissolves the moment his lips move against mine again. 

my pulse stumbles then races chasing the rhythm of his.every nerve in my body is alive and trembling beneath 

his touch. 

the warmth of his hand at my waist seeps through the thin barrier of my shirt it is steady and unyielding anchoring me to him even as everything else falls away..my knees threaten to give out and i find myself leaning

into him drawn by a gravity i can not fight. 

the world narrows to the slide of his lips the faint scrape of his stubble against my skin the sharp inhale he takes like he is tasting something he has been craving for too long.my heart hammers so hard it feels like it trying to break free. 

heat pools low in my stomach spreading outward in dizzying waves that leave me so breathless.this should not be happening.it should not feel this real it is so consuming but as his breath mingles with mine and i cant remember where he ends and where i begin., 

but it does.my hands find his jacket clutching the fabric as though it might some how steady me.the smell of him clean cologne and something darker like cedar and smoke wraps around me until i cant tell where he ends and i begin. 

his thumb brushes the edge of my jaw tilting my face up deepening the kiss just enough to make everything else fall away. 

The city disappears. The lights. The noise. The past. 

For one impossible moment, it’s just us. 

And then- 

Flash. 

a blinding white light cuts through the darkness. Then another. 

the spell shatters like glass. 

i jolt backward the taste of Aiden still on my lips- warm electric dizzying- before the world crashes back in.a storm of voices erupts around us breaking the fragile silence that had wrapped us together. 

shutter click in rapid bursts.someone shouts his name― sharp greedy.another voice follows louder closer.the parking lot ignites into chaos. 

figure surge from behind cars their cameras flashing like lightning each burst searing through the haze of what just happened. 

my stomach plummets.the air feels too thin, too loud.every pulse of the camera light feels like its scraping against my skin.the echo of his kiss- soft heat, trembling breath the way my heart had stuttered in my chest- turns to ash as realization claws its way in. 

So that’s what this was. 

Aiden moves before I can react.his arm comes around me again protective possessive. stay close,he murmurs, low enough for only me to hear.his voice is calm but theres an edge beneath it- steel wrapped in velvet. 

I don’t resist. I can’t.the flashes keep coming swallowing us in harsh bursts of light.my name ricochets through the air followed by a barrage of questions i cant even process. 

Aiden! Look here!”

are you two really official now?” 

Who is your mystery girlfriend ?”

the noise blurs turning into one long disorienting roar.my heart is pounding so hard it hurts.every step toward the car feels like walking through molasses.his hand never leaves my backguiding me shielding me but to the cameras it probably looks romantic. 

Perfect. 

The devoted boyfriend protecting his date. 

if only they knew. 

the car door swings open and i slip inside.the moment the door slams shut the sound outside cuts off like a radio switched off mid sentence. Silence. thick and suffocating. 

my reflection stares back at me in the tinted window wide eyes flushed cheeks lips still tingling.my chest heaves but its not from the kiss anymore. It’s from anger. 

he climbs in beside me he shutting the door quietly and for a moment neither of us speaks.the city. lights blur past in streaks of gold and white as he starts the car the hum of the engine filling the silence that stretches like wire between us. 

my throat tighten as the taste of him still lingers on my lips but now. it feels bitter metallic like regret.. 

i stare straight ahead my hands clenched in my lap.how could i have been so naive? 

all those stolen glances the softening in his voice earlier tonight it all felt so real.but of course it wasnt. it never is.with Aiden everything has a purpose. every smile every gesture every kiss.. 

i glance sideways at him.hes calm again- mask back in place.his jaw is set his eyes focused on the road ahead the streetlights flickering over his profile. the only sign of tension is the faint pulse in his temple. 

when he finally speaks his tone is smooth. Controlled. 

remember Taylor,he says not looking at me. We’re acting.” 

the words land like a slap. 

i blink the sting crawling up my throat before i can stop it. Acting. Right. of course. 

i force a nod my voice barely a whisper. Right,i say. Just acting.” 

the lie tastes like ash. 

outside the city rushes by- bright and blurred and heartbreakingly indifferent.inside the silence feels too small for everything pressing against my ribs. 

i turn back to the window watching the world streak past in gold and shadow, my reflection stares back- composed empty untouchable. 

but inside my chest aches with something raw and undeniable.

becuase no matter what he says no matter how carefully he hides behind control for one fleeting moment under that flickering streetlight 

– 

it hadnt felt like acting at all.
