"Are you okay, Caleb?" Kim sat up in bed. The sheet slid down, giving me an unobstructed look at her nakedness. She was clearly unbothered by being naked in front of me. "Yeah," I said slowly. "I think I am." I really was. My brain probably wasn’t in the right place, with everything hitting me at once, but this was the best thing that could’ve happened. Getting to relive your youth was a dream for most older guys. And I wasn’t about to let this opportunity go. I smiled at the girl I loved to…- 31.2 K • Ongoing
“Are you serious?” I asked incredulously. “They’re offering me a knighthood again? Despite everything?” William nodded minutely. “They are. But this time, you have to accept it if you say yes. You can’t back out at the last moment.” “Of course,” I agreed. “I have no quarrel with the Crown or the government now that they are doing the right thing. Don’t forget, if I pulled a stunt like that again, it would look bad on me because my reason for rejecting it has been fulfilled…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- The music started with the iconic Hedwig’s theme before melding into something original, created exclusively for the last Harry Potter movie. It was grand in scale, which was exactly what was needed for the epic finale of one of the greatest film series in the history of movies. Till this day, I am baffled by the fact that I never realized my love for music in my past life. Even when I participated in X Factor, I was eliminated before it could go anywhere. For my voice, the only difference I had…

- “I certainly didn’t expect to be reshooting scenes for this movie right now, especially after you’ve sold it,” Julie commented idly as the crew around us finished preparing for the reshoots. The crew this time was a professional one, the same one that would be shooting in just a few days. As much as I wanted to shoot this myself and use the Harvard student crew, I couldn’t. I simply didn’t have the time to spare. As good as the film had turned out, it had taken numerous mistakes and retakes…

- “Noah!” Randal Kleiser’s voice cut through the theater lobby as he strode over, his arms open wide. He pulled me into a tight, earnest hug. “It’s so good to see you!” Just behind him, Julie offered a small, familiar smile and a gentle wave. These last few days, Julie and I had been inseparable on our shared promotional tour, so her presence was no surprise. Randal, however, was a different story. As the director, he hadn’t been part of the press circuit; this wasn’t an era where…

- “So this is your new home?” Julie asked thoughtfully and looked around the living room. The place still looked a little too empty without any of my personal stuff put in. It didn’t make sense to decorate the place when I’ll be going away soon. “Yup,” I said with a nod. “Thanks for agreeing to stay here with me.” “That’s what friends are for, aren’t they?” she shot back playfully. She stepped closer, slipped her arms around my neck, and pressed her body against mine. “And…

- “So this is your masterpiece?” Dad asked the moment I reached him, his eyes still gleaming with the afterglow of the screening. “You tell me,” I replied with a shrug, trying to sound casual. “My performance is only as good as the audience thinks.” Before Dad could reply, Mum pulled me into a tight hug, practically squeezing the breath out of me. Her voice was filled with emotion as she said, “It was simply out of this world, son. I haven’t seen this level of performance, especially in…

- We rode in silence toward my new beautiful Los Angeles home, Casa Encantada, with lush greenery everywhere, but inside the car the air felt heavy and cold. Scarlett kept her gaze fixed on the window, not looking at me. “Will you at least tell me what’s wrong?” I asked when the silence became unbearable. Scarlett, for all her natural grace and beauty, sat with her shoulders drawn tight. Her lips pressed together as though holding back words she didn’t want to say. Finally, she exhaled…

- ~All those days chasing down a daydream All those years living in a blur All that time, never truly seeing Things the way they were~ I looked directly into the eyes of the most beautiful girl I had ever seen and continued singing, pouring my heart, soul, and every part of myself into the notes. ~Now she's here, shining in the starlight Now she's here, suddenly I know If she's here, it's crystal clear I'm where I'm meant to go~ When I reached the next verse, I gently took…

- Flashback “That’s a great idea,” I said, genuinely impressed by the concept. Bruno, the representative from the Recording Academy, lit up at the praise. “Thank you! I’ve been working to bring together old and new Grammy winners for quite a while, and the golden anniversary seemed like the perfect time to do it. It feels validating to hear that from someone at your level.” I could see the flattery from a mile away. It was the kind of polite ass-kissing I had grown used to, especially…
