Intimately Enchanted Chapter 43
Lorraine stood by the glass window, a cup of coffee in her hand, a cigarette tucked between her lips. She didn't go back to Los Angeles, she came to her apartment in New York since Sebastian was here. She said she didn't wanna go back to Los Angeles so she came where he was. Sebastian was yet to know what happened back in her home town. She had been weirdly silent since she came, which was scary but Sebastian decided he was just gonna stay by her side until she decided to speak up.The cup of coffee was empty now and Sebastian lost track of time. She had just been standing there since so long. His chest was clenching badly at the sight of her and questions were storming in his mind. Sebastian went towards her, staring at her face. The city lights gleamed in her eyes as she stared at the view, her face painted with hues of blue and gold. But her expressions remained a void of emotions, which bothered Sebastian.Sebastian gently touched her hand, catching her attention as she flinched
Intimately Enchanted Chapter 1
"When a great talent is on screen, you don't see the actress. Only the character she's become. You see a girl with scientific disorders, a civil rights icon, a rape victim, an untalented heiress, or a young woman with big dreams. These five actresses have rewarded moviegoers with fully dimensional characters, some drawn from real life, all of them larger-than-life. The artist who's brought those characters to real-life is our nominees for performance by an actress in the leading role."A faint yet confident smile appeared on Lorraine's lips as the nominees got announced on the screen. Her eyes gleamed as her name came into the view.She held her breath as the atmosphere became suspicious, her stomach twisting uncontrollably."And the Oscar goes to... Lorraine Acker for 'Genetical'."Applause followed through the hall and the music started playing. Lorraine's heart swelled. Rapture engulfed ber, and she felt like yelpi

"Where the hell are you taking me?!"Sebastian asked furiously, tapping at the steering wheel. "Get out of here from the backside," Lorraine said while fastening her seat belt."What?""You heard me." She replied in an obvious tone."I'm not getting out of this party, leaving my brothers and going with a stranger. Not until you tell me where on Earth are you taking me!""I assure your security. Now get out of here.""No way in hell!"
Intimately Enchanted Chapter 3
Lorraine went towards Ana with an inevitable sulk on her face. Ana was officially the biggest cockblocker of the planet. "You know what you did was illegal right?" Lorraine said as Ana winked sheepishly. "Illegal goes for your brother." She answered, handing Lorraine her phone. Lorraine smiled secretly at the mention of her brother, wearing the bathrobe a maid had handed her on the way before pressing the phone to her ear and walking away to the corner. "I'm way too high for this, little one." She groaned out on the phone. "Couldn't you celebrate your Oscar victory sober?" Her brother joked as she chuckled breathily. "Don'

After dressing up, both Sebastian and Lorraine went downstairs to have breakfast. Sebastian didn't know what to expect from the lot, they have had fun last night but everyone was high, now they were sober and most probably awkward.Well, Sebastian was proven wrong.Although they sat in silence for some initial minutes, focusing on eating rather than talking before Ana interrupted."Sebastian?"Sebastian looked up from his breakfast to face Ana, giving her a questioning gaze."You live with your brothers don't you?" She asked, big eyes blown wide comically in awe.Sebastian didn't know where she was leading from this question but still answered."Mhm, makes our work easy.""Woah!" She exclaimed before looking towards Lorraine who was sitting beside Sebastian, minding her own business and not looking up. "Must you not aspire something from S
Intimately Enchanted Chapter 5
Lorraine's favourite thing during the journey of making a movie was the memories she made with her star cast and all the crew. She learnt a lot from all the senior actors, they laughed, danced and all the tiredness just seemed worth it. She'd smile so genuinely, her heart would warm when her cast would surprise her with a cake on her birthday on the set. It was her home. It was the best place she could ever wish for.Hollywood was a place that made her feel that it was worth it to step out and do something thrilling and totally out of her comfort zone.She could even dare to say that her assistant and her friends from the film industry had better memories with her than Matt, Ivey and Ana.Although, what's a celebrity without tea? What's a celebrity without a few scandals and downfalls?She was never the one to give up. But now she was doubting too, with each 'one more shot' the director said. 5 years to th
Intimately Enchanted Chapter 6
Lorraine and Sebastian talk. They talk a lot. It's like a daily chore for her now, to talk with him for hours. Because he's so... attractive. He's that guy she imagines who's elegant and sophisticated but wild and crazy at the same time. He's the guy she fantasizes about midnight driving in a Ferrari. Then stopping at the Hollywood hills to watch LA gleaming along with a bottle of beer and much laughter. Yes, they had decided on that too over their one of many late-night calls. She's even met the rest of his group on face timing a couple of times. Bad days are the ones when she can't talk to him due to her late-night shifts, same goes for him. Today, she was exhausted. She was still on the set, it was noon and the heat was really going to be the death of her. Lorraine was spoilt by her own money, and she worked her ass off to earn it. This day was the hardest day of her life, and this movie was the most ch

Sebastian was in the recording studio, having a run in with his producer about how the drop beat of the title track of their upcoming album wasn't ear catching enough when his phone rung in the pocket of his jeans. His attention averted there, he told the producer to excuse him before seeing the collar ID. He immediately swiped the answer button. "Lorraine, just a second." He quickly muttered, muting the call and standing up from his chair."You two seem to be getting really close?" His manager commented."None," Sebastian pointed at his manager, glaring at him with raised eyebrows. "Of your business."Sebastian quickly piped before running off to outside of the studio to have some privacy. He checked if any cameras were rolling and sighed in relief when there weren't. He answered the call."You were saying–?""No, no, Iv

Intimately Enchanted Chapter 42
Stepping into her hometown was nauseating, to say the least. She hated everything about it.Her hometown was very different from Los Angeles, it was smaller, greener. One could even be fooled into thinking it was liberating, wide spaces, flower gardens, the kind where one wants to elope with their lover. Perhaps it was, it could have been, at least. But the air reminded her of how it stung against her cuts. It was famous for its food, Lorraine thought perhaps that was the reason she was never big on eating.Coming here after ten years...Lorraine almost thought that it was a mistake, and all she wanted to do was turn around and get on her jet once again, flying back home. But in a twisted way, it was also kind of uplifting how she had rose from the ashes and had come back ten times stronger than before, only to mock and spit on the godforsaken land.Lorraine refused to meet her mother at her house, so they arranged the meeting in her office."Raine," The woman averted her head to the s
Intimately Enchanted Chapter 41
Xander had never seen a man so beautiful before in his life. Given, that no one could possibly be more gorgeous in a room where Xander existed, alluring and ethereal, God's finest piece of craft.But these Acker siblings had these eyes...these pair of champagne eyes that looked like would drip honey any moment as if those pair of hazy orbs were to give the elixir of eternity in the form of tears. But they could also very much drown you, one dip in the lake and the marines would be clutching your ankle and pulling you downwards in the depths of blue.So when Tom Acker cornered him against a wall and openly flirt with him- was Xander supposed to breathe? He supposed not. At least, he could not."I know you get this a lot but- you're the most charming person I've ever met."Xander raised his chin up and met the boy's eyes with his hooded ones."I get that a million times per hour.""Of course you do."Xander hummed. Tom wouldn't have been too old. On the contrary, he might have been too
Intimately Enchanted Chapter 40
Once upon a time, Lorraine Acker was a victim.With glinting eyes so big and always wide open to take in her world. Curious. Curious about everything, eyebrows always raised.About a decade ago or so.Once upon a time, Lorraine was helpless and naïve. Oh so naïve. She latched onto any but of comfort she could get. Trusted so easily. Easily enough to get hurt."You're with new bruises."Lorraine lifted her head from her knees, looking at the man in front of her. She rolled her eyes, pressing her cheek to her knee instead and drawing her legs closer towards her chest as a stray tear rolled down the bridge of her nose."That's not news now, is it?" She retorted, voice scraped like shards of glass which somehow made the man in front of get wince.She shouldn't be sitting here, it was fucking pathetic to sit in the middle of the corridor of her house. The maids don't judge but it made her feel weak. She was weak, though. That wasn't news either.The man in front of her was way older. Clad

Watching Tom smoke is not what Lorraine appreciated to see, at all. She hated it, even. But joined him nonetheless."You're a fucking sportsman and you're smoking Winchester, have shame." She commented. "I'm a sportsman with trauma, fucking cut some slack." Tom retorted, eyes sweeping over the water as they both stand at the edge of the yacht. "Besides, you're an actress."Lorraine rolled her eyes. "Hollywood is built on substances. The streets are full of them."Tom hummed, looking down, where the water sprayed in foam due to the motor of the yacht."I feel like–" he said. "I feel like sometimes we sound like him. When he talked about business y'know?""No." Lorraine replied instantly. "No, we're nothing like him. Nothing. He's a sick man. God knows I wish death upon him everyday."Tom places the cigar between his lips again, sucks in and breaths out puffs of smoke."Mommy dearest is selling the business for good."Lorraine furrowed her eyebrows."I thought the will was on you." She

"Lorraine, gorgeous, I love you. I really love you." Sebastian said. "But it's so fucking weird to hold an Oscar in your hand and go to your birthday party like you're holding a cheap beer bottle."Lorraine rolled her eyes, pulling a little on her boyfriend's hand as they entered Lorraine's yacht.Yes, it was her birthday.And she had never known how to feel about birthdays.Materialism was one thing but birthdays usually scared her. It felt like...why did they even come every year? She felt like shit at those days. She was usually filled with guilt upto her neck on her birthdays.It wasn't that her birthday wasn't celebrated nicely. It was just that...her mother's birthday wasn't. A part of her was vivid at her mother, always will be. For not fighting for her when she was dying. Not fighting for her when she had jumped in the fire to save her life.But a part of her also pitied her.Endlessly.Because...She had always been a kind woman. Too kind. So much so that it became her weakne

Looking out of the taxi window, Lorraine took in the fresh air of Busan. Even though it was early winter approaching, the air was still a little wet, sticking to her skin. The city lights that glimmered as they drove onto the bridge were breathtaking. But it did less to settle Lorraine's anxiousness.Fuck, why wouldn't she be anxious? When Sebastian had suddenly dropped the plan of making her meet his parents.She wanted to. She had wanted to meet his family ever since he had mentioned it. It felt very intimate and personal. But...But.But Lorraine was good at everything.Lorraine was good at anything and everything except for when it came to...families. Past was proof. Her encounters with families had been nothing but a short of... destruction. Knowing how much it meant to Sebastian, she was spiralling. She sat at the corner of the backseat, silently basking in the night breezes as the car drove by. She could see the sea."You're still worried."Sebastian's words cut through the sil

Autumn was to an end by the time Sebastian and Lorraine's– along with everyone else's work schedules were coming to a pause.The recently aired news of the power couple, Matt and Ivey being pregnant was blowing up the internet.Sebastian had been on about buying a new house for her and Lorraine in New York for whenever she comes. But she knew that was one of his sneaky tricks to make her come to New York as often as she could.With everyone's thriving success because of their immense hardworking, everyone felt overjoyed.

Though not seeing each other for months didn't help but doing what they loved and being into their regular schedule gave them inner serenity.The Phoenix brothers had been flying from one country to another for their world tours, receiving the love they didn't even know they deserved. They were sure that every one cried at least once during the world tour. Sebastian cried thrice, for he had never expected he would have dated anyon
Intimately Enchanted Chapter 35
Ah, Lorraine really didn't want to. There was no part of Lorraine's job that she didn't like with her every heartstring. But some interviews slightly...just slightly popped the veins in her neck. Sometimes they were too offensive, too open, too disrespectful. She wouldn't blame all the interviews. Yes, asking questions about herself and her life was one thing, but going way too personal was another. Sometimes it would be her bra or the edited nude that went viral. Anything offensive to ruin her day. She didn't understand what they got from asking these questions.Yes, she knew that more than half of the world wanted to have sex with her and people were disgusting pieces of shit so fake pornographies, obsessive behaviour she almost expected. She didn't approve, but she knew what to expect from Hollywood. It was safe to say that Sebastian just happened to be one of those personal things. It wasn't like she didn't want to speak about him at all, she just didn't know what boundaries t
