The palpitation of my phone woke me up. I looked around terrified for Mitch but could not find a fly.
"What an awful nightmare !"
The phone was still ringing. Drew -our cameraman had called me. I picked up.
"What -"
"Where are you? The actors are already here ."
My eyes enlarged at the realization that I was late. I jumped up and began galloping across the room.
"Fuck I'm damn late " I screamed and tugged my hair.
It took me fifteen minutes to hop into Mitch's Benz. I was going to work in shorts and a shirt from the night before. How unprofessional of me.
When I reached the villa, Drew was already rolling the camera. Two ladies were making out in the pool. Mitch was giving the directions. My body quivered at the sight of him due to that goddammit nightmare.
"Sorry. I overslept"I whispered and stood next to him.
He bobbed his head without even looking at me. I was trying to grasp the scene silently until Paxton showed up from behind.
"Morning director "he muttered. I twisted my head towards him. He was a few inches away shirtless.
"You -" I scanned his toned bare body. Then rolled my eyes. Trying my best not to get turned on again. Why being so desperate for someone I hardly know?
"AND CUT ." Mitch roared. Then approached straight to me. He was in a check shirt and ripped denim, looking fresh as always.
"The next scene is lesbian lovemaking. There -" he pointed the manse "There Paxton -the spouse will enter and would join"
He passed a look to the male actor standing next to me.
"You know the rest" we both nodded.
While the crew was shifting the setting to the next scene, Mitch quietly strolled out.
"Mitch ?" He turned back.
"I've got urgent work to deal with -" he said "Look over the shoot. Alright babe "
"Okay.Alright."I grinned awkwardly at his sulked face.
Was he mad? I wasn't sure. It was not the first time he loaded whole in charge on my shoulder. Besides he remains sullen most of his life.
So it was just me and Drew left the staff. I hope Alif could work with us some more. Alif is a tech brainiac, he used to join us sometimes. I like his company. He had a great sense of humor and one day he left the crew for a better-reputateded job. Actors too kept on changing but we never did - I, Mitch and Drew.
The second scene concluded smoothly. The last and longest scene was of Paxton. I was pretty uneasy about it.
"And ACTION "I gave the cue and Paxton stepped in.
I was gazing at his confident walk, through the camera screen. He was mesmerizing that he could easily be a model, actor, or anything else but why this? A job with no reputation.
"Focus the camera on the ladies" I commanded after Paxton had done stripping himself.
"Capturing their reactions," he said softly.
It was when suddenly Paxton scooted next to me and leaned until his chapped lips rubbed mine and he chewed my lower portion. It was not a magical moment but rather mischievous.
I was still blinking and he was gone. The sudden warmth he created disappeared. I turned numb realizing that a naked Paxton kissed me.
Nobody seemed to notice our sensual moment. I was still processing what had happened while Paxton was already pumping the females.
I was blank, mindlessly glaring him. Watching him fuck. Until Drew nudged me.
"Should I zoom in from the right angle ?"
"Yup " I shook my head and clenched my fist.
Focus. Focus! I was chanting these mantras. But my knees had turned into jello. I was sweating. Throughout the whole shot, my heart was racing and I couldn't concentrate.
"And CUT !" I shouted in a trembling voice. The actors fell apart. Drew walked up to me.
" S-S end the edited video to Ma-Mitch ." Drew witnessed my anxiety and gave me a confused glance. Though he remained silent.
"D-Did you see ?"
"What ?" Drew exclaimed.
"Nothing !" I rushed out without answering anything or before Paxton could approach me.
I forgot to hand over Mitch his keys. That was a good thing. I hopped in and drove away. The smooch scene kept on replaying in my head. Reminiscing his rough lips rubbing against mine and how he munched it, giving me the sweetest pain. But why? Why would Paxton? The way he jumped next to me while no one was watching. As if everything was pre-planned.
"Did Mitch tell him to kiss me ?" As he was mad, he wanted revenge on me. Trying to frame me.
"Rubbish -" I breathe out.
I need to talk to him.
