Episode 3.1 : Just Breathe

Jorah pushed past the shouts and the furious shuttering of cameras as he made his way inside the club.

The minute he entered the room, deafeningly loud music filled his eardrums while flashing lights attacked his vision.

Flanked by Janice and his bodyguard, he made his way through the room, the strobe lights dancing in synchrony with the music.His hair was in a ponytail caught at the nape of his neck, tucked into the collar of his Gold Bomber jacket.

They already had a spot reserved at the club's upper level. From there they could see the whole club and have a good time without being bothered.

"You're here to relax." Janice reminded him "Stop thinking about work."

Jorah sighed. Was he that easy to read?

"I know." he replied. This time around he was having difficulty shaking his frustrations. He hadn't felt so frustrated about anything in a long time. Not even when critics gave his work bad reviews.

Janice patted his knee comfortingly,"It is what it is Jorah."

"I can't stand it."

Crossing her legs, she sipped her drink thoughtfully before looking at him."Who knows, this might actually go really well. I've seen a few of those Boy Love series myself. They're pretty hot".

"The fuck?" Jorah frowned. "You really are Tanner's assistant. You've been hanging out with that guy too long."

Janice chuckled. "Truth is truth my friend.I'm just saying. Us girls love looking at two hot guys making out. Tanner told me that he got goosebumps when he saw you guys do the scene together."

Jorah's frown deepened as he recalled the day in question. "He wasn't the only one who got goosebumps." He took a drink.

Ignoring Jorah's frown,Janice continued to grin. "Let me tell you. I went to find one with your co-star. That guy is really hot."

"Oh my god. Seriously."

"Whatttt? " Janice laughed. Jorah only looked disgusted. She patted his knee twice. "Alright alright. Enough.Drink. Relax. Have fun.Remember I'm paying. Please don't let both me and my pockets weep. At least try to have a good time."

"Mn." Jorah grunted a reply.

With no more talking about the project or work ,Jorah gradually relaxed, consuming drink after drink, allowing the vibe to better his mood.His mood had improved significantly when something Janice said caught his attention.

"Oh shit. It's him." When Jorah followed her line of vision, his blood froze.

"Why is he here?" Jorah watched as Nine climbed the stairs and took the VIP booth immediately theirs with his manager.

Are these fuckers stalkers? Jorah wondered to himself. Why are they showing up here?

"Want to go say hi?" Janice inquired.

Jorah raised a brow. "Say hi to who?"

"To him." Janice jerked her head in Nine's direction. "I mean, he's your co-star, shouldn't you atleast try to get to know him?"

"No thank you." Jorah bit before ducking another drink back.

With Nine's sudden appearance, Jorah's focus was split. More often than he wanted to, he found himself glancing in their direction. While Nine never looked his way, his manager did. Their hostile eyes locked briefly.

On occasion various people would approach Nine's area. While his Manager seemed to be quick to shoo them away, Nine seemed to be more accommodating. He would nod and smile, even allowing them to take photos with him.
