The year was 1994 and you had been cast in a film called βHigher Learningβ starring Ice cube, Omar Epps, Tyra Banks and none other than Jennifer Connelly who was playing your love interest. Youβd only ever been romantically involved with one other female back when you were around 16 and from then on convinced yourself it was a phaseβ¦but maybe it wasnβt.
From the very beginning you had felt some sort of connection to Jennifer..she was so laid back and effortlessly funny. She was down to earth and easy to talk to unlike a lot of the fellow actors and actresses you had been acquainted with in the past. Not only that but she was insanely beautiful, it was kinda hard not to catch feelings for her.
Today was the day the two of you would be filming the scene you had dreaded the most since you had read the script, the kissing scene. It wasnβt because you didnβt wanna kiss her, of course you did, you were just afraid your feelings would strengthen. Right before the two of you were about to step out onto set, Jennifer pulled you aside. βHey, are you okay? You seem nervous..β God, she was so intuitive. It was almost irritating.
