I want to say something, but I’m lost for words, as he holds me tightly in his arms.
“But why tonight. Why now?”
“Why did I come and talk to you tonight and not before?”
“Uh-huh.”
“I don’t know; it just felt like the right opportunity to do it. It’s not that I haven’t thought of a doing it before, but Florence was on my back about not drinking or doing anything and even after she left….I still didn't want to let her down. She’s more my agent. She’s been there for me when everyone turned their back on me and when Kevin said about the party. I thought one night. One time just so that we could talk. You know.”
I smile, “Like we’re doing now.”
“Exactly! But if you don’t want to talk then we don’t have to. Maybe you’re right about Kevin. He seems kind of creepy to me.”
“Because he wears glasses?”
He chuckles, “No, because he kept insisting on coming to your room and maybe your gut instincts were right. You did need to stay away from him.”
Maybe?
It’s something that I’ll never find out, and I’m not even curious to know what he did, because I’m right where I want to be, in Eric’s arms. But not sexually, just sensually and it makes me feel warm, not only his body heat, but I have that feeling deep down inside that he’s here for a reason and it’s not to just apologize. It’s to do something more than that, but he has to gain
my trust, and that’ll only come one step at a time.
Chapter Twenty One
Eric
I feel like a prick who’s life has been turned completely upside down, and it’s not from getting high or even being drunk and out of it most of the time. It’s from one woman. I never thought that I would even feel this way about anyone. I used to see actors marry their co-stars, dancers and sometimes I would attend, but they’ll talk about love and then six months, or if they were lucky six Valentina is entirely different to any woman that I like to hang around with whenever I get in the mood for some female company. There’s an innocence about her, that makes you think that you can take advantage of her. The moment anyone tries to do that she puts her foot down. She’s kind of a Sara Parker and Cinderella in one tight, sexy body.
“It looks as if you two are really getting along..” Florence smiles at me.
She flew in last night for our final day on the set. She claims it’s to make sure that everything gets tied up, but I think that it’s just a reason Florence says as she comes back for the final day of shooting.
“Well, we knew each other before we came on the set.”
I confess to her, our time here’s done, and the movie shooting is coming to an end. There’s no point keeping it a secret anymore, and I’m sure that she already knows that Valentina and I have been spending time together. No sex. Not that it hasn’t been on my mind on all the fucking time. I know that if I try anything then she’ll have nothing to do with me. A risk that I’m not willing to take.
“Really? I would never have been able to tell. You guys in the same room. I could cut the atmosphere with a knife.”
I laugh as she raises her eyebrow. That’s one thing about Florence she’s no one’s fool. I knew that her statement was because she knew the truth and with that one line, she confirmed it.
“Maybe she’s exactly what you need,” she smiles as she holds on to my hand.
“Florence. I thought that I needed to be alone. You’re always telling me that I think with my dick and not my head.”
We’re taking a break and catching up over breakfast while Valentina’s shooting the final scenes.
“Yes, but it wasn’t only your dick that was playing with your mind. I think it was more your over inflated ego.”
“Ouch,” I put my hand to my heart as if I’ve been wounded with her words.
She laughs, “Don’t try and act as if you’re so sensitive I know that you know I’m right. No, Valentina could be exactly what you need. Just don’t fuck it up.”
“How can you be so sure?”
“Eric, I’ve known you long enough, and I saw the way that you were looking at her last night over dinner. It’s clear that there's something special between you two and it’s not just sex.”
Wow!
