BIBLE
"Tell me if I hurt you."
Build's voice is soft, just like his hands. I bet the cameras are loving this. The fans are going to love it, even more, when it airs later in the week.
A sigh slips out as he kneads at a tense muscle. Part of me wasn't sure he knew anything about a massage but his hands are really something.
Still, even with his hands running over my exposed skin, my cock remains soft. I am not turned on or anything and that sucks, does this mean that the only man with that kind of effect on me....
I close my eyes just in time to stop myself from looking in his direction and seeking him out.
Jeff has been preaching for me to focus on my work more. This is the same thing my makeup artists told me to do this morning so I have been keeping my distance and focusing on what we came here to do.
Fans want to see me be all up close and personal with Build and that is what I am going to do.
My work.
I groan out loud as Build kneads at my muscles. The sound is a tad exaggerated but it's enough to draw a laugh from the others.
"His hands are not that good Bible," Apo whines from the table next to mine where he is massaging Perth's back.
"I know better than anyone how his hands feel on me Apo, don't be jealous."
Apo sneers and I tease him by letting out a deep relieved sigh when Build starts massaging my shoulders. The noises slipping from my lips grow exaggerated by the minute and this seems to annoy Apo even further which only works to encourage me.
The massage goes on for half an hour and when I am done, I feel a little better than I did climbing onto the massage table.
"Thank you Build," I say, brushing a finger across his cheek and he blushes from the move.
He and I have great chemistry on screen but that's where it ends. In real life, we are not as close but when the cameras are rolling, we revert back to our characters.
See, the thing is, despite my bad boy vibe, I am not a naturally flirtatious person but if the fans love it, then it's something I'll try to work on.
"Ooh, you two, get a room," someone calls out and I chuckle, placing a hand across Build's shoulder.
"Jealous?"
The guys chuckle and I push away from my co-star. I can't wait to watch the video later and read the comments. I bet there will be fan videos of Build and me floating all around social media.
We engage the cameras a little longer and then head back to our rooms to clean up for lunch once we are done.
I am feeling a bit relaxed by the time I get to the room Jeff and I share. Maybe Thassa was right about focusing on work to help heal a broken heart.
The room is empty when I walk in so I head to the ensuite for a shower and when I walk back in, it's to find Jeff seated on his bed, his eyes on his phone but there is an air about him that screams for me to back off.
I falter in my steps.
I... I have never seen Jeff in a bad mood before. Okay, I have seen him get angry but his is always controlled anger. He never lets it show and that is one of the things that frustrates me about him.
I want to get dressed without getting in another fight but he looks like he has this dark cloud hanging over his head.
"Hey," I call out but he doesn't look up, his eyes are fixed on the screen of his phone. I try to peek at what he is looking at but he quickly shuts off his phone and throws it on the bed.
He doesn't say a word as he grabs a towel and heads for the ensuite. My confused eyes trail his movement and I watch until he disappeared behind the door.
What the hell is his problem?
He seemed to be in a good mood just this morning. Laughing with the other guys so what the hell could have caused this dark mood?
However, much I want to ignore him, I notice that his dark mood stays and not even Apo approaches him. If even Apo is scared to approach him then I sure as hell am staying away.
"Hey Bible, the photoshoot you and Build had the other day was trending on Twitter."
"Really?" I say, surprised. I look up just in time to see a phone screen thrust to my face and sure enough, it's a picture of Build and I. The photo is of Build and I staring into each other's eyes. I have a hand in his hair and wow, it looks so much better than I expected it to.
"I had no idea they released the photos already," I say scrolling through the comments.
"They released them this morning. They have the fans buzzing."
"Hmmm," I respond handing back the phone and taking mine out. I need to call my manager and speak to him about this. I thought I would get to view the photos before everyone else did.
"Excuse me guys," I say getting up. "I just need to make a quick call to my manager."
I dial the number and place the phone to my ear as I exit the table and head out. I make it out before he finally picks up.
"What's up Bib?"
"Don't what's up me. Why the hell didn't you tell me that the photos were out already? I thought I would get to go through them before they were released."
"Hmm, I assume you saw them. They look great, don't they?"
"I mean yeah but..."
"Exactly. Trust me, Bible. They all look great and when we release the others tomorrow, you and Build will be trending for days. You will be getting brand deals from everyone."
"But..."
But, what about my boyfriend, I almost ask before I remember I don't have a boyfriend in the first place.
Jeff wouldn't care that I was intimate with someone even if we were together. He told me so himself.
Why do I care what Jeff thinks anyway?
"But what?"
"Nothing," I say with a sigh. "Just... let me know next time, okay?"
"Got it. Now have fun while you still can. It's going to be a busy couple of months."
I hang up and look up to realize that I have walked further from the dining area than I'd thought.
I turn to head back when I bump into someone. I am just about to apologize but my words get stuck in my throat when my eyes crash into familiar brown eyes.
"Jeff?"
