I was dressed in my favorite outfit, a sharp black suit that made me feel powerful and confident. I could feel the soft fabric of my shirt against my skin and the weight of my watch on my wrist. Daniel, on the other hand, was dressed more casually, but his laid-back attitude made him look cool and collected and somehow helped balance me.
As we walked toward the set, I noticed Daniel already flirting with one of the women in the room. He was always the charmer and had a way of making people feel at ease. But as we approached Maya, I saw Daniel turn on the charm even more. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy as I watched him talk to her.
Maya was always well put together, but this time she looked stunning in her elegant blue sweater dress, and her hair was clipped back effortlessly, and gorgeously messy. Her makeup was flawless, and I could see the excitement in her eyes as she looked at me. I knew that this interview was going to be a big deal for both of us, no matter how nonchalant I chose to act.
As I posed for the camera and listened to the directions yelled out at me, I tried to push the feeling of jealousy aside and focus on the shoot. I could feel the heat of the lights on my face, and the clicking of the camera filled the room. I tried to keep my body relaxed, but I couldn't help but feel tense as I watched Maya and Daniel talking.
As the rich playboy that he was, Daniel found it easy to be around people. Male, female, rich, young, old, it didn't matter. Everyone liked him in the end.
I felt myself grow increasingly annoyed when it looked like he was singling Maya out, probably just to spite me.
My lack of control over my angry facial expressions didn't go unnoticed, and the director called for a ten-minute break. I could feel the sweat on my forehead as I tried to calm myself down. I knew I had to get a grip on my emotions before I ruined the shoot.
I took a deep breath and walked over to Maya, trying to ignore the way Daniel was still hovering around her.
"How's everything going?" I asked, trying to sound casual.
Maya smiled at me.
"Great, Jack. The camera loves you. You know that, right?"
I felt a sense of relief wash over me as I realized that Maya was impressed with my performance. I smiled back at her, feeling my confidence grow.
But then I saw Daniel put his hand on Maya's arm with a wink to me, and my heart sank. I couldn't help but feel angry and frustrated. I wanted Maya's attention all to myself, but I knew I couldn't act on those feelings.
If I did, my so-called friend would probably lose an arm, and I would go to jail. Deep breaths.
As we prepared to start the shoot again, I could feel my body tensing up. I tried to keep my focus on the camera, but my mind was distracted by Daniel's constant presence near Maya.
The director shouted things out, and I tried to follow them, but I couldn't shake the feeling of jealousy that was consuming me. I could feel my face becoming tense, my blood rushing to my temples and my heart rate racing. My emotions were affecting the shoot.
After a few more shots, the director called for another break. I could see the frustration in his eyes, and I knew that I needed to get myself under control before I ruined everything.
I took a few deep breaths and tried to relax my body. I could feel the tension slowly leaving my muscles, and I knew that I was ready to try again.
As we started the shoot once more, I focused all of my attention on the camera. I could feel the way my body moved with each pose, and I could see the way the lights hit my face perfectly. I could feel my confidence growing with each shot.
But then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Daniel whisper something in Maya's ear, and my anger flared up again. I tried to ignore it, but I could feel myself losing control. I could feel my body getting hotter as I struggled to keep my emotions in check.
I took a deep breath and tried to push the feeling of jealousy aside. It wasn't like me to allow my emotions to get the best of me and these feelings were confusing me as well as contributing to further rage within me. Dammit! I just needed to focus on the shoot and give Maya the best photos possible.
As we continued, I tried my best to ignore Daniel's presence. I cursed the fact that I had even brought him along. A few more shutter clicks and my eyes wandered over to Maya again. When I saw Daniel put his arm around her, my heart felt like it was lava-hot, filled with undeniable anger. It was pushing the anger-laced blood through my body, and I couldn't stop it.
I asked the director for a ten-minute break, and he was about to refuse, but one look from me shot it down.
I didn't even look toward Maya and Daniel as I hurried to the hallway.
As the noise from the equipment and people outside subsided, I heaved a sigh of relief as I found myself in the corridor leading to the restrooms. I looked around, trying to catch my breath and figure out my next move when I saw her standing there. She had followed me out and was just watching. Maya looked stunning. It had only been one day, but I missed her already.
Her voice, her touch, her kiss…
Before she could say anything, I stepped forward and pinned her against the wall. I could feel the heat emanating from her body, and I knew right then and there, that I had to have her and make her mine.
I pressed my lips against hers, claiming her possessively. Her lips were soft and yielding, and I could feel her responding to my touch. My hands wandered over her body, exploring every curve and contour as I deepened the kiss.
My emotions were a mix of desire, lust, and possessiveness. I needed her, and I knew she wanted me just as much. I wanted to consume her, to leave my mark on her body and make her mine.
The kiss was rough, almost bruising, as our tongues battled for dominance. I could taste the sweetness of her mouth, and I knew I was addicted. I couldn't get enough of her, and I knew she felt the same.
