Me: Action movies cannot compete with Notting Hill, Love Actually, or The Holiday.
Jax: I guess we’ll just have to settle this on the road.
I know I’m swaying near the edge of what’s appropriate behavior right now. Back and forth, between my heart and my head. Each reply back, I feel myself slipping closer off the cliff. This is risky business. I need to get back on solid ground.
Me: If I’m doing my job as well as I plan, you’ll be so busy doing interviews you won’t have time to watch movies. You’re so hot right now.
Jax: Are you saying I’m hot?
Me: I mean, hot… like trending.
Jax: Oh. Got it. I’m not hot, hot.
Me: I didn’t say that.
Jax: So, you do think I’m hot.
Me: Do you ask all your team members if they think you’re hot?
Jax: I’m sorry if I overstepped. I got caught up for a second. You’re really easy to talk to.
Now, he’s breaking open. I’m trying so hard to hold back, but how can I when my favorite pop star is definitely flirting with me? I hold my breath as I type my response.
Me: It’s OK. I like talking to you, too. You’re not what I expected.
I exhale. That felt good.
Jax: What did you expect?
Me: Not someone so down to Earth, I guess.
Jax: There’s a lot about me people don’t see from afar, I suppose.
Me: I’m seeing that. I guess I have a lot to learn. So I can pitch you with fresh angles, of course.
Jax: Lucky for you we’ll have plenty of time to get to know each other these next few weeks.
I should start filing for unemployment now.

THERE’S RISKY BUSINESS BETWEEN CAILIN MCCALL AND JAX SLATER
JAX
I crossedthe line with Cailin. There I go back to my old ways. It’s like I can’t be in the presence of an attractive female without flirting in her direction. In my defense, after a while of our text message chat, I forgot we had a business relationship. And to be fair, Cailin is flirting back, despite her attempts to ignore my hints.
Cailin: I do look forward to getting to know you, Jax.
Me: Does that mean you’ll watch a movie on my bus one night?
