Chapter 56: Society
"the will they, won't they loop? yea, that's the most annoying trope in the romance/drama genre," I stated firmly.
"No, what no, and isn't the most annoying trope NTR in that genre?" Alexandra replied.
"I don't consider that to be a trope."
"A genre then?" Alexandra asked.
"I hate NTR with a passion, and I deny its existence." I replied stoically.
"That's good… anyway no, what did you mean by 'we can't go back' Alexandra said, pushing me back to the real topic.
"Yeah," I took a deep breath before continuing, "I mean, I looked at you with this very, veryy slight romantic way, and I was sort of looking forward to see you today so…" I spoke while scratching the back of my head.
"So?"
"So…"
"You have to say it, you know?" Alexandra stated
"I think I like you and keeping my, no, our job in mind, I am gonna be honest. I don't think I'll ever be able to step into a relationship but…" I was took a pause when Alexandra cut me off.
"I kinda liked you too, and with what you said, our job, I… It will just take me a while to process all this, like can I even be okay, with having a boyfriend who is going to sleep with other women on camera, or will you even be okay with having a girlfriend who sleeps with other men on camera?" Alexandra said in a serious tone.
I could only bite my tongue at that. I didn't really have to worry about that. There was no way she was going to sleep with any other man. Gotta thank the system for that.
"Yeah, I understand," I replied, as if deeply thinking about what she had said.
She only nodded and then, after releasing a small huff, "Now, let's go back, shall we?"
"Yeah."
We walked back together in awkward silence. There was some sweat on my forehead because of our previous 'talk', but I'd say it all went fine. I mean, she didn't reject me outright, so that's a win.
In the waiting room, Tanith and Ai were talking to the guy behind the screen. We both weren't able to make out what they were talking about, but when Jonah came out with a clipboard, we had a general idea..
"I'll leave you guys to it then." I said.
we bid out goodbyes.
Tanith leaned to my ears and whispered, "I'll call you," in the most sultry voice.
Well, it might just be me who gets turned on by that slightly raspy, female voice, but that sent shivers down my spine.
I sat in the driver's seat, wondering about all that took place. I completed my second shoot.
One small step for porn industry, two big boners for me.
As I started the car, there was a knock on my window.
Looking out, I could see Jonah, who was smiling with her tilted head.
I opened the door to the passenger seat, and without speaking, she took the seat and closed the door.
I slowly nodded. "Why are you here?"
"You are dropping me at my place, it's not that far." Replied Jonah innocently.
"And what about Alexandra and the others?" I asked.
"I left them in capable hands." She replied quite proudly.
"uh-huh" I said with a nod and started the car, "where to?"
"My place"
"Which is where? "
She pulled out her phone and opened up koogle maps, which showed me that her home was only a mere ten minutes away.
On the road, Jonah let her light pink hair free, and then leant back on the seat with a sigh.
"You alright?" I asked as I saw her look at me with unfocused eyes.
"No but, I believe you should know, It's not that easy what you are getting into"
"I know that"
"You also know how much disdain will you get from the common society?"
"Yes, I do."
She sighed, "You know, the place I live in is where all prostitutes and famous pornstars live in."
"For real?"
"You know why we have to live together?"
"Society?"
"Yes," she sighed again, I am sorry I know you are an adult and are perfectly good at making your own decisions, but I just don't want you to make the same mistakes I made."
I only nodded at what she said.
"I have seen people fail. And if you fail here, there is almost nowhere you can go back to. Even society will reject you. She lightly ran her fingers through her hair. I know I might come off as annoying, but I just want your well being. It's going to be hard, but you must never be afraid of asking for help. Always know that there are still people standing behind you. I have seen ones who are successful break down, and what breaks them most of the time is isolation. They don't ask for help and they think they have nowhere to go, so please know that you can always call me, Claire, or even your friends anytime you need help." Jonah explained.

A/N
aight, so I know that some people were mildly annoyed by the last chapter, rightfully so. But I want you to know that the MC is not some gigachad (yet), he is currently just an average nerd with almost zero romantic experience. Most knowledge about romance he pulls is from fictional stuff, so that definitely has some effect on the decisions he is making.
TLDR: It will take him some time to 'grow'
also, the last para, was actually a mix of what I pulled from real pornstar interviews and the troubles they actually face. It's actually not all just sunshine there, not even the companies are in that much pleasant area. Well, we'll discuss that in the novel itself some time later.
BTW, WEBNOVEL has stopped their web reader and is now forcing users to download the app. Even I can't read my novel on my laptop, it is annoying as fuck.
it isnt really "webnovel" if you can't read them on the web
thanks for reading, check out my patre0n
also forgot to mention, join discord, where we are currently discussing about character art, and AI art is cool as fuck.
