Chapter 7- Italian Dinner Part 1

"I was not aware that you would like to make the one time thing something more." The whisper brushes his ear and I press a soft kiss to his neck, right along his sensitive skin.

"With you, baby? I want everything." he gets out on a low growl.

Chapter 7-

Kaleb left soon after that, with the promise of seeing me tonight.

"Meet me for dinner?" He had asked after having properly kissed the sass right out of me.

"Where?" I asked breathlessly, fixing my hair from where his fingers had just recently vacated.

"The Italian restaurant down the block from the nightclub where we first met. Seven o'clock." He pressed a soft kiss to my lips before pulling his Aviators back over his eyes and walking off without a look back at me.

Filming had gone until about four in the afternoon with minimal screw-ups and only a few re-takes.

"We start filming again at noon, guys! Other than that, have a nice evening!" They all bid their goodbyes and started to pack up and get their things while I stayed around and finished some paperwork and helped put up equipment before heading back to my trailer to change and get ready for tonight. Our makeup and hairstylist stayed behind to help me get ready with the promise that I'd pay her personally for two days worth of work. She had been hesitant to take that much but after I promised her it would only be an as-needed job she had accepted and set up her things while I jumped in the shower.

I scrubbed the sweat off my skin and washed my hair to get the oil and everything from where my ballcap had been pushing it down. I shaved everywhere that needed it and stepped out once I was clean, grabbing my lotion and making my skin silky-smooth. The hairdresser had me come out in just my towel so she could do my hair and makeup without it getting messed up.

"Your dress is a zip-up anyways." she told me as she got the hair-dryer and started to brush loose curls into my hair. My eyes closed of their own accord and I let her work as I contemplated how tonight was going to go.

"What's his favorite color on you, Ms. Morgan?" Cassie asked me as she set the hair-dryer back down and grabbed the now-hot curling wand to give my curls a lighter more weight off of them.

"Silver. Said it makes my eyes brighter." I replied with a soft smile, thinking back to our first meeting.

"It's a beautiful color." She says quietly as she turns my chair and starts to work on my makeup.

I watch her work; rubbing in concealer, dusting an almost olive colored-powder across my skin, putting primer on my eyelids after a thin line of eyeliner. She reached for the different colors of eye shadow she would use as my phone went off with a message from Kaleb.

Picture?-K.R.

I showed the message to Cassie and she smiled. Her hand opened for my phone and I handed her the phone so she could take a picture of me.

"Keep your eyes closed." She ordered and I nodded, doing as she said but smiling a small smile as the camera sounded and she handed me back the phone.

This up to par?-Morgan

' It took him a moment to reply but when he did, a red blush rose to my cheeks.

Surpassing, my love. Absolutely ravenous-K.R.

"He's quite a smooth talker, isn't he?" Cassie asked as I set my phone down and she started brushing the shades of silver and black across my eyelids and the creases. I put on my own mascara and she helped with my rub-proof lipstick.

"Time for your dress. I borrowed it from the wardrobe department so I have to have it back." I took her offered hand and she walked me to the back of my trailer where the dress was covered in a protective plastic and hung from the hanger to the floor.

"Of course." I smile wide and go to open the zipper, my eyes widening as I see the full outfit.

"Oh, it's beautiful." I whisper as I pull it off its hanger and step into it, pulling it up and over my towel before pulling that off and tossing it into the hamper.

Cassie helps me zip it up and she hands me the shoes that go with it while I pull on my nice pair of lacey black panties. I step into the silver pumps and stand up, brushing my hands over the navy blue material.

"I know it isn't silver, but I figured the details would make up for it." Cassie tells me as I turn around and go to hug her.

"It's wonderful." I sigh happily as I pull away and reach for my jacket and the jewelry that goes with it. She hands me my matching clutch and I go to look in the mirror.

"I think he'll love it."

~~~~~~~~~

My driver pulls up in front of the restaurant and he helps me out before closing the door behind me and going back to the front seat.

"Goodnight, Noah. I'll call you in the morning when I'm ready but be expecting me by about ten." I inform him and he nods, tipping his hat to me.

"Goodnight ma'am, and I will be." He gets back in the driver's seat and drives away as I pull my jacket closer to me and take a few pictures before heading inside where I spot Kaleb waiting for me at one of the main tables, looking around as if he was nervous. Once he spots me, he stands and smiles at me as he walks up and offers his arm.

"More beautiful than your camera can ever give you credit for." He comments as he takes my jacket and pulls my seat out for me.

"Always the gentleman, Kaleb, and thank you. You look quite handsome yourself." He grins at the comment and sits back down.

"I hope you don't mind but I ordered us a bottle of wine already." Kaleb tells me as out waiter for the night comes up to the table and offers the bottle for me to look over.

"Not at all." I nod at his choice and he pours us both a flute of it.

"So how come I didn't know you were directing my brother's movie?" He starts out with light talk.

"He probably knew of our encounter and thought it would be better not to mention it." I reply, looking up at him to see how he would take my bluntness.

"I suppose. He always talked about you but he would never tell me your name." Kaleb replies in thought and I nod.

"I told my actors to keep me a secret until the movie premieres and I can judge the public's reaction. The company was nice enough to grant me the same courtesy." It was his turn to nod and we sat in comfortable silence until we had chosen what we would be eating for dinner.

"What about you? Ever make junior partner?" I ask and he beams.

"You remembered! I did actually, last week. My caseload is about the same, if not a little more and the pay is more. The only real difference is that I finally get to sit in on meetings and offer my input." Kaleb leans forward on his elbows and I do the same, crossing my hands.

"I always knew you would. I never doubted you wouldn't make it."
