My manager and I

Chapter four

"You do know that this... thing can't happen Baris." She says but she doesn't move away. He starts moving them and now she's stuck between him and her actors' board behind her. His hands are on her naked waist since her crop top is too short to cover her entire back.

"Give me one good reason." He whispers over her ear and she shivers. She can feel him smiling over her skin and that makes her shivering even worse.

"Because I'm your manager." She says breathlessly.

"Ok. Then you are fired." Baris says and laughs. He looks at her, trying to read her face but she just stares at him.

"I can't be the only one feeling this Dicle." His laugh is awkward now, like he starts doubting himself.

Her hands that so far were still on his chest start moving slowly. First over his heart then to his shoulders, only to end up over his biceps. It's his turn to shiver and she feels powerful for some reason.

"What happened the other night was reckless and dangerous Baris. You know that, I know that. Anyone could have seen us and then everything we are working so hard for will be over. Do you really want to start your career with a relationship scandal? Do you want to be the actor known for his relationship with his manager? Cause I don't want that for you. Neither as a professional nor as a person who cares for you." She says and she can see his face dropping.

"Yeah, no. I can see your point loud and clear but the thing is..." his finger catches a strand of her hair and hides it behind her ear, "every time I'm near you I can't concentrate on anything else. Like it's physically impossible for me to keep my hands off of you Dicle Ertem." He says and he's pulling her closer to him again. "But you are right. Right now we have to think of my career and how you can be successful in making me even more famous."

"Good. I'm glad we are seeing eye to eye on this." Dicle says trying to hide her disappointment and at the same time trying to ignore how her skin burns from his touch.

"Just don't blame me if sometimes I can't hold back." his lips are lingering over hers as he says these words and she closes her eyes.

"I guess today it won't be that day." He says with a smirk and lets her go. "Call me when you know more info about the film. I have to go to set." He says and leaves her alone. 

She stands there trying to process what happened. "Jerk. Idiot. But he's a hot idiot. God help me." She keeps rambling as she sits on her desk trying to focus on the scripts in front of her.

 It's already night when she is out of the building. She has send Meral home hours ago and she's too exhausted but she has one more stop before she can finally rest. And that job has a name that scares her: Baris Havas.

She was making up her exit plan on her way to his house. And she was rehearsing her lines for different occasions that may rise. She already had a witty come back ready for when he would open the door but that changed when his brother welcomed her to their house.

"Baris said to come over when I'm done and it took me a while to finish..." She said in a way to excuse herself.
