Just An Act
"Just an act. That's all it ever was."

I was on a dinner date with my girlfriend, Quinn, when my phone rang. It was another phone call from my assistant, Jerry. Must be another work problem. I hate it when work suddenly pops up during my dates with Quinn.

"Quinn, love, I have to take this call. You don't mind, do you?" I ask, glancing at her anxiously.

"No, go, it's fine." She replied, although her eyes showed hurt.

I went out of the restaurant as I answered the call."What's happening, Jerry?" I asked, annoyed. "I'm on a date with Quinn."

"My apologies, sir, but someone has been draining the company's accounts, and it's draining fast," Jerry said. "We're losing money."

"Well, deal with it! I'm on a date, Jerry. I can't just leave Quinn." I hissed. I've ruined our date because of work for three times already, I can't ruin it the fourth time!

"My apologies again, sir. I will not interfere with your date." Jerry apologised.I ended the call and went inside. I found Quinn standing near the entrance, looking hurt and annoyed.

"Quinn, love, I'm sorry, it's just another call from work, nothing important," I said, reaching for her hand.

"Important enough for you to leave the restaurant and answer it." Quinn sniffed as she tugged her hand away from my reach. "This is the third date that you've ruined because of your workaholic self, Louis. And I've had enough of it."

"Quinn, please, give me another chance-" I pleaded, knowing that I was about to lose my girlfriend, my soulmate.

"No, Louis! Give you another chance?! You must be joking!" Quinn slapped me across my face, hard. I didn't even bother to say anything, I knew I deserved this slap.

I watched as Quinn, the love of my life, walked away from me as the rain softly poured down. It was then that I realised that no amount of money could replace Quinn's love, that she was more important than those pieces of paper.

"And cut!" The director yelled. "Good job, everyone! You may take a break."

As I sat down in my chair, Evelyn, who played the role of Quinn, sat down beside me. "I'm sorry I gave you such a hard slap, James." She chuckled.

I chuckled. After all, our love was never real, just an act for a movie.
