Alter Ego: His Sultry Lover

Chapter 5 - Sexted A Kid

The mess of Keira had brought on a new vow from Cage, he was not dating. Not for a very long time. He didn't need another scandal to keep him in the headlines for god knows how long.

'It seems like my hand and I are going to be best buddies,' he thought sadly. Not dating an actress meant no dating whatsoever because those were the only people he met on a daily basis.

He strolled into the car and leaned back, closing his eyes to catch some sleep. For the next few weeks, he would be constantly travelling all around the globe to promote the movie and he would have to get used to sleeping on uncomfortable and foreign beds.

"Can't we just reach the hotel?" he mumbled under his breath.

"Don't act so tired. I am quite a bit older than you. You need to look sharp for your fans." It was the capital city of the country and fans had gotten wind of where he was staying. The hotel would, no doubt be crowded with paparazzi and fans asking for autographs.

Cage groaned when he realized what that sentence meant.

"You are younger in spirit than I," he said, opening his eyes to peer at Stephen, who was driving.

After a few minutes of waving at the fans, Cage finally entered his room. He felt the intense need to shower and wipe his body down. Once he was done with that, he wondered if he should sleep, but sleep evaded him. He found himself attracted to his laptop. Logging in, he went on to play a game and complete a few quests.

He saw something pop out from the corner of his screen but didn't notice it much. The game server was buzzing for some reason and a lot of people had tagged him. He knew very few people and played with even fewer, must have been a random player that had seen him play and asked for a duel. He shrugged it off and went to sleep, hoping that morning wouldn't come too soon.

Katherine woke up late the next morning, feeling prickling pain in her back from the hours of gaming and work she had done the last day. She quickly checked the game to see if she had received a reply from RayKon53 but to her vain, she had to put her phone down and wash her face. She had frequently checked her phone throughout the night, excited to find out who the person was, but they had completely ignored her.

She knew that it couldn't be Cage Cavanaugh, but at least she was talking to someone. When she got out of her room and entered the common dining area, she saw Lily sitting at the table with a shit-eating grin on her face and her thumbs twiddling on her phone.

"Did you manage to catch Cage Cavanaugh?" she teased, clearly joking.

"I think so," Lily said in a singsong voice. Katherine startled. On one hand, she was jealous that whoever her friend had contacted had replied to them, unlike the person she had texted, but the other part of her knew that none of the people her friend had texted could be Cage. He would never use something as common as the name of his characters or something of the sort.

Then he would also not name himself RayKon53because the information about him was common knowledge, she told herself. She shrugged it off. What did it even matter if she wasn't messaging Cage when the other person hadn't even replied yet?

"Which of the characters was he?"

"All of them, don't know. They all replied," she shrugged.

"And you spoke to all of them?" Katherine asked, intrigued. "How did you figure out which of them was Cage?" She was interested in the method of Lily's thought process as she tried to figure out which one of her preys was Cage.

"I went for the one who sounded most intelligent," Lily peeked up at her and gave her a brilliant smile.

"So one of them didn't ask for nudes," Katherine guffawed.

"Hey, don't be rude," her friend said, embarrassed. So, Katherine had been right all along.

"And you are sure?" she asked, excited.

"No. He said the character was awesome."

"You are talking to a twelve-year-old!" she burst into a fit of laughter. Lily levelled her with a glare.

"Yes, but at least I tried," she said, a sly look flashing across her face. "I got some lemony conversations out of this. You, on the other hand, are high and dry from your spell last night. Your thirst for Cage Cavanaugh cannot be quenched," Lily pretended to lament.

"Ew. You sexted a kid?" Katherine giggled, playing along. Lily stuck her tongue out at her and got up.

"I gotta go. I made some breakfast for you. Have it when you get time. I will be heading to the office." With that, she left, slugging her oversized camera bag over her shoulder.

Katherine breathed in a breath of relief. She was sure that her friend hadn't gotten the right guy.

She went back to her room and started working on her latest commission. It was an erotica piece that had been going up for reprinting and digital art was all the rage. It was a fanfiction that caught a lot of attention and got published and gained big money, now there were publishers stumbling over each other trying to get publishing rights to it. She had been asked by the publication to make a suggestive cover that was both classy as well as passionate which would arouse the curiosity of the reader and make them buy it.
