Spencer James moves from the comfort of his own home to chase his dream of becoming an actor. Along the way, he meets people that will change his life; Some for the better. Others for the worse. It's all up to him to decide which is which.
"It was magical! I felt like all of the stars were aligned and shining down on us," I say and Jesslyn just smiles.
"Magical? Stars aligning? Wow, he's something special isn't he?" She questions and I nod.
"The only thing that I wasn't so sure of was him telling me he loved me in the middle of sex. I just don't know what to think about that."
"You don't think he loves you?" She asks and I shrug.
"It's possible. But right before we had sex, he told me that he dated other women in our time apart. It's possible he was just caught in the moment." I admit.
"What do you want to believe?"
"I want to believe he loves me because I'm in love with him," I answer and it's the first time I've said that out loud.
"Well, that settles it!"
"Jesslyn," I mumble.
"Olivia!" She says right back, making me sigh loudly. "What's wrong with wanting to believe something and letting it be your truth? If you believe he loves you, then he loves you."
I digest her words and allow myself to be okay with it.
"How about I just ask him?" I say and she smiles.
"What do you even need me for?" She asks sarcastically.
I giggle as I peep at my phone.
"I'll ask him tonight since he invited me to a wedding. Is that weird?—- I mean it's only officially our second date. Is that too much?"
"If he's dropping the 'L' bomb, then it's possible this wedding is the perfect place for y'all to be."
"Oh please! Don't even start. He says it's important that I'm there. I don't think he's thinking about being a groom any time soon though."
"Okay, maybe I'm pushing it. But it's a great place for you to ask him about that 'L' word." She suggest. "Maybe during a sweet slow dance."
"I don't even know whose wedding it is. I don't think I'll be doing any dancing at a strangers' wedding."
"Why didn't you just ask him?"
"I did. And he told me it was a surprise." I answer honestly.
"Doesn't matter. The fact is that he wants you by his side. And you want to be there. So go, dance if you want. If not, don't. But most importantly, have fun." Jesslyn suggest and I nod before checking another text message from Spencer.

Later that night, I pull up to the venue and call Spencer from the car.
He tells me he'll be out soon. And true to his words, he comes walking out looking like he's fresh off of a photo shoot with GQ magazine.
