Chapter 33
All this for a kiss?
Kazimir
As Harley’s fingers fly across her screen, my phone chimes with a text.
Alina
I can’t believe you fought me so hard for so long. I don’t know who the blonde is or where you found her, but if that was supposed to be a fake relationship, color me shocked.
Kazimir
I thought you only worked on Sundays when there was an emergency.
Alina
You better believe I’m going to put on my publicist hat on my day off for these photos. The blonde in the red dress and my client are making news.
Kazimir
She’s a friend.
Alina
In that case, the two of you deserve an Oscar nomination for Best Actor and Best Actress in a leading role.
Kazimir
Emotions were running high right before that happened.
Alina
Sure. That, or there’s nothing fake about whatever is going on between you two.
Kazimir
It was a kiss.
Alina
Those photos are going to go viral. You’re halfway there.
Kazimir
You say that like it’s the first kiss that’s ever been caught on camera.
Alina
You’re such a guy. That wasn’t (just) a kiss. That was a Hollywood kiss if I’ve ever seen one. Every girl wants a boy to kiss her with such blazing passion, it makes her toes curl.
Kazimir
You sound like a romance author.
Alina
YOU READ ROMANCE????
Kazimir
I may have read a passage or two while I was looking for a gift for someone at a bookstore last week.
Alina
From the Roy Kent of hockey to the perfect book boyfriend. Keep it up, dear client.
Kazimir
Okay, this is where I tell you, I gotta go ‘cause I have shit to do.
Alina
And… he’s back to being grumpy.
Kazimir
Kaz is leaving this bat shit crazy conversation.
Alina
I re-read Alina’s comments.
