Chapter 58: Chapter 58 - Getting Closer to Clara
They headed a bit further away from where everyone was waiting as their performance would distract most people inside. Instead, they headed nearby, in what seemed to be a cafeteria. However, maybe it was because of the auditions but it was completely empty, giving them plently of space to practice.
Darius and Clara both decided to practice standing up since the scene required quite a lot of movement.
'I must say, I'm lucky she had two of those scripts, or else my plan would have failed miserably...' Darius thought.
Nevertheless, they were about to start as Darius held the document with all of lines on it. He had no clue about them. However, he would simply read them to practice Clara.
They were about to start as they locked eyes with one another. Darius wasn't sure if it was because of her acting, but her entire demeanor changed. She became even colder than before as she looked at him.
Just before they started practicing, a clear sound echoed in the back of his mind. It had gotten a new quest once again from the looks of it.
-Beep!
[Quest - Conquer Clara]
[Description: Make Clara fall in love with you before her audition.]
[Reward: 100 Popularity, Unknown Skill]
[Failure: Clara will hate you forever.]
Darius saw the punishment if he were to fail the quest and realized that it was extremely serious. He couldn't have Clara hate him now that she was now inside his Talent Squad. Darius only had three spots and all of them counted a lot.
That's why Darius took a deep breath and focused even more than before. He wanted to make sure that she would fall in love with him within an hour.
It was a hard challenge, but Darius had managed to do it often in the past. This time, however, he wouldn't be able to do it with his special massage. He would actually have to work hard to seduce her.
Nevertheless, Darius wasn't one to back down from a challenge. He took his courage with both hands and went right into it as he looked at Clara and her beautiful body. She truly was beautiful, and with each movement of hers, her huge breasts would bounce upward.
She took a step forward and said, "Lucius, what are you doing here at such an hour? A lot of dangerous people roam during the night."
The movie was made during medieval times, which meant that the words they used to talk were unusual. Darius currently had the role of the main character, which was named Lucius, a young man who had absolutely nothing going for him except for one well-hidden secret he had.
Showing a face of shock to Clara. Darius added, "I-I was just randomly taking a walk, don't worry. I'm fine."
"A walk in the middle of the night?"
Darius nodded weakly as he got closer to Clara.
After all, Darius didn't give a shit about the script at all. The only thing he had in mind was to get closer to Clara as fast as possible. He needed to touch her as much as possible. However, everything would be perfect once they reached the end of the scene where they would kiss one another.
'Clara probably won't want to do it. But I won't give her a choice,' Darius thought with a smirk.
The scene continued for a few minutes where Darius had started getting closer and closer to Clara as it seemed Clara had gotten used to getting touched by Darius.
She didn't have a reaction any time Darius touched her body anymore. She kept acting as if nothing happened, and slowly but surely...they got closer to the final moment, where they would finally kiss.
There were getting closer to that moment as Darius got closer to her, holding her hand, then slowly giving her a hug.
"Mhm...Lucius, we shouldn't do this..."
Clara was clearly still in her role as she uttered those words. However, she was blushing heavily because of how close they were to one another. She could literally feel Darius's hot breath on her neck. She wanted to stay professional, but it was difficult when things were like that.
Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, she whispered to Aiden, "Do we really need to be this close since this is a practice?"
Darius obviously had an answer ready for this question. There was no reason for him to say no when he wanted to seduce. "It's very important. We need to make things as realistic as humanly possible."
Clara sighed for a slight moment as she couldn't find a counter argument to what Darius had just said. Darius continued to hug her as he made sure to touch her absolutely everywhere since that was exactly what was written in the script. He was only following the script, Darius wasn't doing this for himself…right?
After a few more dialogues between the two, it was finally time.
It was time for the final scene in the movie, where the heroine would kiss the main character.
Darius felt how awkward Clara was as she blushed heavily.
"S-Should we really do this…? You don't have to if you don't want to," Clara said. "I know that you're in a relationship with Yuna, and I don't want to get in between that whatsoever."
Darius smiled and released a slight giggle. "Don't worry, she won't mind at all. After all, this is simply my job. I'm just helping you with your audition."
She blushed even more as she looked away from Darius's glare. She was extremely shy as she started playing with her thumb, practically doing everything to delay the moment.
"R-Right…so, uh, should we do this?"
Darius stopped talking as he simply stared into Clara's eyes. The tension within the atmosphere rose as their breathing intensified. Clara suddenly closed her eyes and moved forward toward Darius, leaning in for the final kiss.
Darius smirked, watching her as he decided to be quite 'bold.' Since they were already so close to one another, he tightly held her ass, pulling her even closer, and kissing her, surprising her greatly as her eyes widened from her ass being grabbed in such a way.
Nevertheless, she quickly calmed down and enjoyed the kiss just as much as Darius…
