-----------------------------------------------------

pressure was what was happening to gwen. she felt pressured to be a great girlfriend to her best friend, and she felt like she was failing. seth had taken her to paris for a short time as part of the summer holiday. he offered to pay for all of it. did this make her feel bad? big time. the day he offered to take her to paris he said that all he did was give and give and all she did was take. even though he admitted that he had been joking, she couldn't help but think about it later. she had read once that behind every 'just kidding' there was actual truth. then she really began to think about. he did so many things for her, and being a busy person she didn't even think about thanking him or doing anything in return. well of course she told him 'thank you', but she never returned the favor.

paris was major, and probably cost way more than she could imagine, and she was taking advantage of it and him. the experience was amazing but every time they returned back to their hotel room the feeling of excitement was gone and she looked at him wondering if he really did want something more from her or if he was really just joking with her. she didn't know how seth functioned in a relationship because she refused to be around him with any of his previous girlfriends, she had always been "busy" those nights, when really she just didn't want slapped in the face with jealousy. she knew that he had to be in this for the love, because he wouldn't want to ruin their best friendship. she was all he really had in new york that wouldn't leave him. and gwen, she just didn't know what was suppose to happen in a relationship, she was waiting to experience that with seth.

there were also many other things she wanted to experience with seth: first love, working together, and possibly something else. they hadn't been together for very long, but like stated before, she was feeling the pressure to please him and make him happy. he was a boy, and she had always been told that boys only wanted one thing. she also had it in her head that boys liked girls that wore skin tight clothes, short skirts, and low cut shirts. was gwen that girl? not at all. she wore baggier jeans than most girls besides the occassional skinny jean, and her shirts were usually scoop necks that didn't reveal anything but her arms, and often times she wore skirts for the sake of fashion and being comfortable. her goal with her wardrobe had never been to try and woo a boy.

they had been in paris a couple of days already, and it was night time and they were in their hotel room. she didn't know what they were doing that night, it was still early. she looked at herself in the bathroom mirror with a smile on her face. she looked like one of those bitchy girls off of those teen television shows that had all the boys running after her. except she was kind of uncomfortable in the get up, probably because she finally achieved trying to have boobs. her hair was parted different and she was wearing too much make up, well for her at least. she slowly opened the bathroom door and sneaked out, she shut it behind her and crossed the room to him. she looked up at him, she was so short she could have broken her neck. but it was cute. "so what're we doing tonight?" she asked in her best 'oh hey i'm sexy' voice. it was probably ridiculous.

it wasnt like seth was a huge time actor, yet. he wished he was, he honestly did, and he kind of wished he had the pay cheque to go along with it. his earnings werent massive but he had wanted to treat his girlfriend and long time best friend to a little summer break in europe. he had suggested paris, even though he didnt know whether it was too cliche for gwen. he wanted to go somewhere sophisticated, where he knew gwen would fit in well, and paris was sophisticated, right? the day he had asked her to come with him he had decided to joke. he never knew when his jokes were going too far though, which was bad. he had been saying how all gwen does is take and take and all he does is give and give. he kind of thought that was true, but he honestly wouldnt have it any other way. he was happy with how things were and he didnt particularly want them to change too much. he had joked around, suggesting that he wanted sex from gwen. but he was joking. he wasnt a virgin. he wasnt sure if gwen was, but he guessed she was, seeing as she said she had saved herself for him in case he ever admitted to liking her. he kind of felt bad though, that she had waited for love and he, well, hadnt. he did love gwen, which was why he wasnt genuinely pushing her into things he wasnt sure she was ready for. yes, a man has his needs, but so does a woman. and she was his woman, and he wanted her to be happy first and foremost. hence the trip to paris. whether or not it would be a romantic trip to paris was another matter.

whenever the couple retreated to the hotel room the spark from during the day seemed to hide somewhere. seth had no idea why. there was a definite spark there, so it shouldnt go away on a night. answers to why it went floated through seths mind and he figured it might be because they hadnt actually, you know, done it yet. he didnt mind, he would wait for her. if seth was gwens first relationship then he would expect her to be a little, shakey? she wouldnt know what went on as she never came out with seth and his ex. he knew she didnt like her, and it upset him a little. but he was blinded at the time. not he was looking forward to sharing moments with gwen. he hoped to work with her. he hoped to do so much with her, but he wasnt sure how long things would go on before anything happened. he told himself he could wait, and he honestly probably could if he wanted to, but he wasnt sure that if the opportunity came he would get with another girl who would please him. he would have to be very drunk though, and that very, very rarely happened. and that girl would have to be a bit of a skank, tight tops, short skirts, everything gwen wasnt. everything seth now realised he hated in a girl. there was so much more to a girl than her face and body. gwen was pretty, and slim, and, more importantly, she was talented.

anyway, it was night time and they were back at the hotel. seth was sat on the edge of the bed flicking through the tourist booklets they had collected from the reception area of the hotel. the night was young and they had no plans for the evening. he realised he had plenty of time in the morning to look through travel brochurs, so he put them on the bedside table and turned on the television. he didnt understand any of the channels, but flicked through until he found a radio station. he just left the first one he found on, and the familiar sound of madonnas voice echoed around the empty room. gwen was in the bathroom doing something, he didnt know what. he stood up and walked over to the window. their view was pretty good, he could see a fair bit of paris. it was nice. he heard the bathroom door open and smiled, knowing it was gwen. he heard footsteps crossing the room and he turned round to greet her. his heart pounded when he saw her. like, seriously beating hard. his eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly. he didnt know if he was shocked or amazed. gwen looked amazing. but gwen didnt look like gwen. he figured she was trying to show she was ready, but it just made him think that she really wasnt. he took her hand and kissed her forehead. "gwen, what are you we... um, i dont know." he looked her up and down, thinking about what they could do. "gwen, lets just get you out of those clothes and then we can decide what to do." he realised then that that could be taken two ways, so he quickly tried to justify his meaning. "lets change you into your clothes. gwen, why did you dress like that, babe?" he smiled and took her over to the bed, sitting on the edge of it. he pulled her onto his lap so they could talk closely. he didnt know what was going on, but madonna made the situation kind of awkward, belting out the lyrics to her song "like a virgin". seth laughed, innocently, as the lyrics were sung and looked down to his girlfriend. bless her.

-----------------------------------------------------

since they had been in paris, gwen was offering to pay for a lot of extra things that they did. if they went to a place that had an admission price, she would offer to pay for it. meals went along with that. gwen was a girl with a high maintenence personality, but she knew when to be nice and when to not take advantage of people. the last thing she wanted to do was take advantage of seth, he didn't deserve that and any body could see that. she also worked a lot more than seth did, and she did take that in consideration. after they returned from paris she would be in her first film. the film was a story about a daughter and her boyfriend killing her the daughter's best friend, and the mom trying to protect her but can't do it because she knows the truth. eventually the daughter goes crazy and ends up in jail. gwen would play the crazy murderous daughter, along side her on screen boyfriend jack bailey and her on screen mother natalie delaney. the movie was ovbiously going to be huge with these a-list actors, especially dramatic jack bailey. she was excited, and would be making bank. not as much as the other actors since she was unknown in the film industry, but she would be making a large chunk of money, more than she had ever made before. maybe after the movie was over and she recieved her share of the earnings, she could take seth on a trip somewhere. bahamas?

but right now she was focusing on making him happy. he was listening to madonna, and that made her happy. they really did have a lot in common. after making the plans for paris, gwen went shopping for the outfit she was wearing. it was a decision she had made with one of her former cast mates. who reminded her that even if she dressed like a ho, she didn't have to be one. this wasn't for any other guy except seth. and her friend told her that even if she wasn't comfortable with going too far with the boy, she didn't have to, and that it was perfectly acceptable to be a tease. she really hated the idea at first, and i mean really hated. gwen had never tried to change herself for anybody. all of her life she had been about pleasing herself and not conforming. but the more she thought about it, she thought about if she had to change for somebody, that person would be seth. of course she didn't even ask him what he liked in a girl, she just assumed that he was like every other guy. sexual appeal was everything, right? she was good at convincing herself into doing things she was uncomfortable with. you have to push yourself for everything in the acting world, you have to shine and do some things you aren't willing to. a lot people step out of their comfort zone just to audition. gwen could put up with this. she just needed to push her conservative personality aside.

seeing the look on his face, he looked stunned, like he had just seen a ghost maybe. she took it as a compliment and it gave her some confidence, she stood taller. she looked up at him waiting for an answer, and she smiled when he kissed her forehead. at his suggestion her smile faded, into kind of an horrific pout, and her cheeks turned red. did she really look that much like a slut? she bought the clothes to wear them, not to take them off in .02 seconds! but he justified himself, but she was still blushing, but her expression left. "these are my clothes." she acted like she didn't understand the question. she did feel a little weird sitting on his lap, mostly because she wasn't being herself. but she would act like this was natural gwen, the new gwen. "i decided to try something new." she told him with a half smile. "do you like it?" she sounded excited, as if she was excited about it, and comfortable with it, and knew that he liked it. "...why are we listening to madonna?...i feel like she's stalking us, like she knows the situation." damn you madge.

there were quite a few reasons why seth had been excited for this trip to paris. he would get to spend some quality time with gwen. he would get to experience paris. he had never been to europe before, his holidays had only been to california with his family, or maybe mexico if his family were being adventurous. he had heard wonderful things about france before, and this capital city was meant to be so romantic - one of the most romantic places in the world. he wanted romance with gwen. he was half hoping gwen would give it up for him on this trip. but that was at the back of his mind. just before coming out to paris he had auditioned for a role as a recurring character in the popular television sitcom life intertwined. he had auditioned for the role of fraser hale, the younger brother of the main character georgiana. if he got the part it would mean he would be acting along side of the a-lister - nina clarke. hopefully, being in a show with someone so much in the medias eye would get his profile up a little. nina was also jack baileys wife, so he got her a lot of attention too. seth hadnt told anyone he had auditioned yet as he didnt like to tell people unless he was sure he actually had the part. he wanted to tell gwen though. she had that role in the movie along side jack and natalie delaney. he was so proud of her. and excited for award season and the premier of her film - he assumed she would take him along to all the big events. he had always seen the famous a-listers on tv walking down the red carpet and he hoped that would be him one day. but for now he was a minor actor. he wanted to share his possible role with gwen. but right now there were more pressing matters. like her chosen attire.

seth wondered why she was wearing what she was. he wondered if she was trying to be some hyper feminine female, like a new feminist or something - a woman who uses her sexual appeal to get higher in her career. he always thought girls that did that were clever, but he had never thought gwen was one to do that. he didnt want her to do that. she was very talented, she didnt need to use her body. he was worried that she was trying to demasculinise him. she had this huge big role. she was definitely making more money than he was. and now she was this uber sexy woman stood in front of him. seth had paid for the trip but gwen was paying for everything they did on it. he had planned on paying for everything. he wanted to. to show how much gwen meant to him. because she really did mean a lot to him. more than a skimpy little outfit. he looked up to his girlfriend and shook his head. "no gwen, these arent your clothes." his eyes pleaded with her. he wanted to know why she was wearing these clothes. he wanted to know what she was planning to do tonight - she clearly had some plans of where she wanted the night to go. or so it seemed. he didnt want gwen to change. if this was something new she was trying he didnt know if he could seriously be in a proper relationship with her. "uh, well, yeah." he blushed a little. of course he liked how she looked, obvjectively, he was a guy after all. but this wasnt his gwen. "gwen, you look amazing. but to me you always did anyway." he smiled, his blush fading just a little bit, returning when she asked about madonna.

he laughed a little. his smile showed his white teeth for a moment and he rested his forehead on gwens shoulder. the song was fitting. he was pretty sure that he was the first one to 'touch' gwen like madonna was singing. he didnt doubt that some of her theatrical roles had involved some sort of intimacy with her fellow actors, but they were all scripted. seth and her were in love. and this was real. "yeah, uh, i guess she is all knowing." he lifted his head and placed his hand on her soft cheek. "gwen, i really dont want to rush things." he wasnt lying. he hoped gwen understood and didnt take it personally. "if youre ready then, uh, i guess we could talk. but i dont want you to think this is why i want to be with you." he leant up and kissed her cheek. she was much shorter than he was, so it wasnt difficult for him to kiss her whilst she was sat on his lap. "i love you. for you. gwen this isnt you. i dont know why yourse dressing like this. yeah, you really look amazing and beautiful and, um, sexy. but i fell in love with your personality and talent, and then realised how amazingly pretty you are." he was blushing again, he had never told anyone exactly why he liked them properly. it wasnt difficult to tell gwen these things though. "this trip was to experience an amazing time with eachother, and if things go that way, you know, um," he nodded backwards towards the bed, "that way, then i guess it means were ready. but i want to spend time with you babe." he realised he was sounding stupid and cheesy so he stopped talking. he just kissed her again, he loved kissing her. he loved her.
