FALLING FOR YOU ..

VI - Face to Face

Becky found it hard to leave the bed in the morning when the doorbell rang. She just wanted to curl up on the bed, not worrying about the world around her.

After 30 minutes she got ready and came to visiting room. P'Beer was waiting.

"Let's just get this over with kid. He will be there for some scenes only." -- P'Beer tried to make her feel better. But it wasn't easy.

Nop was sitting on one of the chairs assigned for artists.

"Hai... After a long while...." -He stood up and tried to give a hug to Becky.

"Yup Nop... It's really been a while..." - Irin took that hug, making Becky sigh in relief.

Nop's eyes darkened. He clearly hated the interruption by Irin. He sat back down on his chair.

"Have you read the script for us Bec...? The flashback scenes...? I just loved them.." - Nop gave a side-eye and observed Becky's reaction.

Of-course Becky had read the script. And she wasn't happy.

Nop's POV

I started my day early. Took a very good time in front of the mirror to get ready. Changed many pairs of attires before settling for her favourite colour. I was literally waiting for Becky to come. But Irin, she ruined my first plan of stealing a hug from Becky! Bi***!

I watched her expressions while mentioning the script. As expected, she wasn't pleased. But I was. The first scene is where the ex-boyfriend trying to win her once again. My heart was leaping when the camera started rolling.

I took sneaky steps and stood behind her. I hugged her from behind and got enveloped by her scent! Her natural scent, her perfume, her shampoo smell... I tightened my hands around her stomach and pressed my face to her hair, inhaling deep. I could feel her flinch.

Of course I made mistakes in my dialogue delivery.. getting more opportunities to hold her close.

"I really like this..." I murmured near her ear when the camera wasn't focusing on our faces.

"You know... I know how to get you Bec... I don't want that innocent hide and seek game anymore..." -- I slightly dug my nails on her hand.

"I want you. And I will make sure that You will be mine." -- I pressed a deep kiss near her lips and let go.

Becky's POV

"Hey Bec... Relax and don't let him make you nervous!"-- Irin hugged me and I rested my head on her shoulder. I wasn't just nervous. I was terrified and disgusted.

I could feel someone staring at me when I came out of dressing room. I thought it must be Nop. After a while I decided to turn back to see who it was! Freen?! When did she come?! Why do I even ask that question? She is the producer! She can come and go whenever she wants! But why is she staring at me? With stone cold eyes? Does she ever smile?!

I must be going insane... Before some seconds I was freaking out about Nop. Now her.

As expected Nop made mistakes in dialogues. His hug tightening more after each take. I could feel my skin burning wherever he touched. All I wanted was to wind up and go and shower!

"You know... I know how to get you Bec... I don't want that innocent hide and seek game anymore..." -- I could feel his breath on my ear. His nails dug on my hands.

"I want you. And I will make sure that You will be mine." -- I froze the moment his lips touched near my lips. I could feel the nausea starting from the pit of my stomach.

I don't even remember how did I manage to reach the washroom. Washing my face repeatedly, focusing on wiping away his kiss, I heard the washroom door open and close.

"That was quite a scene! Looked so natural. I guess you are so familiar with him!" -- I turned to see Freen standing just behind me. Making me a bit shorter though she was just 2-3 inches taller than me.

I looked at her with same cold eyes! What the hell she just said? What does she mean by familiar? I took two steps closer to her. Facing her , staring back into her eyes.

"Watch what you say. Being a producer doesn't make you so powerful that you can say whatever you want." -- I said through my gritted teeth and turned towards the door.

Great! One hell of a day it is!
