that big of a celebrity," he said, shrugging his shoulders.
     
    I raised my eyebrow at him. "Oh yeah? I'm thinking all those movies you've done says different."
     
    "Yeah but how many of those movies were actually good?"
     
    I frowned. Jake Kennedy was known for terrible action movies known more explosions and nonsensical plot lines. Jake may have been voted People Magazine's Sexiest Man of the Year but he was not kn own for his superb acting skills or for picking good movies to work on.
     
    "Oh, come on, don't be too harsh on yourself," I said, feeling like a lie to Jake Kennedy was completely absurd. "You are pretty kick ass as Mikey on Crime Scene."
     
    "So you do watch the show, huh?" Jake said, teasing.
     
    "Everyone with a television watches that show, Jake," I said, laughing. "And now while I watch it for Cam Daniels, everyone else obsesses over you and all the cases you try to solve. Girls drool for you and get jealous every time your on-again, off-again relationship with Andrea Tremaine is on again."
     
    Jake's face clouded over at the mention of his ex-girlfriend.
     
    "Hey Jake?"
     
    He turned to me, his blue eyes burning. "Yeah?"
     
    "Can I ask you a question?"
     
    "Sure." He swallowed hard. "Of course."
     
    "What happened with Andrea Tremaine?"
     
    He pulled back. "What do you mean? What makes you think anything happened?"
     
    "Um because you look like you just found out Christmas was cancelled every time her name comes up?"
     
    Jake laughed humorlessly. "You mean, you haven't read it all over the gossip rags?"
     
    I thought of the pile of magazines that lay around my room, a product of Amanda's celebrity obsession. "Um, no?"
     
    "We broke up. Not a big deal. We've been growing apart for awhile; our careers were going in way different directions." This was true enough; Andrea Tremaine had just won a Golden Globe for best supporting actress. "But I wasn't happy about it. I really cared about her. But shit happens."
     
    "Okay..." I said, slowly.
     
    "I'm not done yet. Mere four days after we called things off, only two days after our publicists confirmed it to the media, she was engaged to some film director from Scotland."
     
    "Ouch," I said, wincing.
     
    "Yeah," Jake agreed , his voice hollow. "He's nineteen years older than h er. And...four days later? There's no way that she hadn't cheated on me."
     
    I wanted to disagree with him, tell him he was wrong, but he was right. There was no way someone got engaged after only four days. The only logical explanation was that she had cheated on him. I looked at him out of the corner of my eye. He had leaned back, and his shirt had lifted enough to show a strip of bare stomach. I felt a blush flush in my cheeks and I turned away to hide it.
     
    Jake cleared his throat. "So, McKinley, can I ask you a question?"
     
    "Yeah," I said, quickly and a little bit warily.
     
    "Do you really watch Crime Scene?" I nodded. "Am I...am I good? On the show, I mean?"
     
    I burst out laughing; I couldn't even help it. "Oh my god, Jake, really?"
     
    The corners of Jake's mouth twitched a little. "Seriously?"
     
    I thought about it for a moment. "Yeah, I think you are. It’s a role you were made for. You are really overdramatic at times, like I want to tell you to ease up, be subtler. But you're great. You keep this girl watching."
     
    Jake smiled. "Thanks."
     
    "You know, I'm just one girl, right? There are millions of girls who love you."
     
    "Um, yeah, I think that’s more to do with my looks than my acting skill."
     
    I glanced over at him, noticing his bare stomach again. "Wow, someone is sure of their good looks."
     
    "Oh shut up," he said, amusement coloring his voice. "I'm just tired of playing the same stupid characters in the same stupid movies. I want to do something real, something I'll be remembered for."
     
    I looked up at him, surprised. "You really like acting, huh?"
     
    Jake paused for a moment. "It's all I've ever really known. Other
