Chicken or Beef?

Kevin knocked my door promptly. 9:02. I made a mental list in my head of everything he was doing right.

He wore a black button down and a red tie. Check.

He offered me his arm as we walked and opened the car door for me. Double check.

When we got the restaurant he pulled out my chair and poured me a glass of wine. Red and fruity, my favourite. Triple check.

I looked around the sultry restaurant with its velvet curtains and black walls. This place was like a giant aphrodisiac, and I hoped Kevin didn't think this is all it would take to get me into his bed.

"So explain to me why the no sex," Kevin glanced at me over his wine glass. "I still don't understand it. I mean, you're training to be a porn star."

I sighed and tilted my head to the side slightly, shrugging my shoulders. "It didn't make sense to me at first, I thought I had to sleep with people for my job. But the adult industry is more than just hardcore scenes and gangbangs."

"How so?"

"Well, take your mom for example," Kevin cringed at my words but motioned for me to continue. "She and your dad have created the most beautiful films. They're so real and full of love, even when they're not having sex."

He nodded and opened the menu, his eyes grazing lazily over the cursive in front of him. "I hear ya. Y'know, I was made during a film."

My eyebrows lifted in shock. "Which one? Do you know?"

"The Lake House in August," he said and I laughed.

"That's my favourite one! It's so enticing and intimate. I think that movie is what got me to my 'no sex' decision."

"Glad to be of service," he chuckled and closed the menu when the waiter came over.

I wasn't listening to what the waiter was saying because I was too busy drinking in Kevin has he trailed a finger along his stuccoed jawline. He did that a lot when he was thinking.

He would usually scrunch his brows and squint his eyes when he was in deep contemplation. His eyes would flicker with excitement at a new idea or a funny thought and it would cause a swarm of butterflies to burst from their cocoons inside me.

I realised now that they were both staring at me so I snapped myself back to reality and looked up at them. "Chicken or beef?" Kevin asked.

"Oh, sorry. Uh, chicken?" I instantly regretted my answer once I remembered the unfortunate food poising of my junior year of high school. But I hoped that this upscale eatery wouldn't have an issue cooking their food to safety standards.

"So uh, I was thinking about our film," Kevin began and I nodded, leaning in slightly. "My dad knows a guy with some sets from movies, and he said we could shoot some scenes there."

"I thought we were using our dorms?"

"We are, I just mean some context scenes. Y'know, like you and a few friends in a gym in your cheerleading outfits, and I can get a couple guys together and shoot a locker room scene or something."

I nodded approvingly. "Some teasing shots of you in the shower, maybe? And me and the girls stretching in our short skirts?"

His eyes sparkled as he grinned. "Exactly! I think ours will be one of the better films to be honest. Brad was telling me how he's going balls to the wall. Literally."

"Oh god, no. A glory hole film?" I grimaced and Kevin nodded. "Brad just like an opportunity to stick into anyone willing."

Kevin laughed as the waiter brought over our meals. He topped up my glass of wine but only kept to his one as he was driving.

We spoke about our movie, deciding on dates and times and shooting locations. I knew I could wrangle Jannah into a cheerleading outfit and maybe another girl or two from our health class.

Dinner ended sooner than I wanted it to, and we decided to skip desert, so before I knew it we were walking across the quad to Albert Hall together.

It was closing in on the holidays, so the quad had multicoloured lights strung through the trees and some girls that worked in the set departments had stuck glittery paper snowflakes on the lampposts. All it needed was to snow and it would feel like the North Pole.

"Have we got class together tomorrow?" He asked and I nodded, opening the door to our building.

"I think we're doing group shoots, usually pairs or threes. Mindy usually decides."

"Wait, he stopped me half way up the stairs. "Mindy. As in Mindy Smooth Cox?"

"Let me guess, she was all over your wall as a teen?"

He grinned sheepishly and I rolled my eyes. "Hey, a guy never forgets his first jerk, ok?"

I laughed loudly and continued up the stairs. "Well, she's used to it so don't worry. She's one of the best teachers here. I mean, she was in the industry for thirty years!"

"And in my dreams for at least ten of them," he mumbled and I pretended I didn't hear him.

When we got to our doors he turned to me and took my hand in his. "Thank you for making my first date so memorable."

I blushed and looked down quickly at our intertwined hands. "Thank you. I've had the best night."

Kevin leaned down slowly and kissed me softly. His hand slipped up my body and rested on my chin, pulling me closer. I wrapped my arms around him, feeling the lust coming from his lips.

"I'll walk with you to class tomorrow," he said when he pulled away. "Goodnight, Gracie Lee."

As soon as he was inside his room I left myself melt against the door. He had me throbbing and pulsating so rapidly I thought I'd strip him naked right in the hall.

I swanned into my room, discarding my clothes as I walked to my DVD shelf. I smiled as I chose a film and put it into the movie player.

My bed welcomed my naked body and I spread my legs as the camera panned from the ground up.

A young woman with alabaster skin and fiery red curls sat naked in the grass with her hair artistically covering her breasts.

A slow guitar began playing as the title appeared on the screen. The Lake House in August.
