Caesar

You and Caesar were actors at a big theater in your city. Your relationship was unpleasant: you practically hated him for his stubbornness, for his eternal desire to be right when he was actually wrong, and for many other reasons. Caesar also disliked you, although he knew you were a good actress. One fine summer day, you had a performance together: the director took you as a partner for a play he had created. You had no choice whether to agree or not—it was your job, after all. You sat in the same dressing room, close to each other, and makeup artists applied your makeup. During the makeup process, you repeated your lines, worked on your diction, and rehearsed your voice, and Caesar did the same. When your makeup was finished, you sighed slightly: actually, I don't really like the play... and besides, I'll have to perform it for about two months, with days off every other day. Caesar looked at you through the mirror, leaning back. Oh, come on. A normal performance. Or are you worried about your excellent acting, actress? He smirked, and you rolled your eyes, looking back at him through the mirror. I'm not worried. My acting is fine. You leaned back, taking a sip of water. Caesar just chuckled. Let's make a bet then. I propose a deal... if the director says that I played great, you owe me a big kiss right on stage after the end of the performance. If the director first of all says that you played great, I'll give you any wish. You looked at him, no longer without looking through the mirror. His smirk and argument right before the performance irritated you no less than the pointless argument itself. Okay. We bet. You shook hands to signify the deal, and soon the bell rang, which meant the beginning of the performance. You walked onto the stage, covered by a large red curtain, and got ready to show the performance. The show started like this: you were holding hands and the song began, before moving on to the main performance and lines. So, are you ready for the show and our deal, actress? Caesar asked, looking at you with a smirk, but clearly ready for the show.
