Star Crossed Lovers

Chapter 2

So much had happened in the nine weeks prior to today. Where was I to begin? As I sit in my chair waiting for a late Micah to arrive, I find myself thinking back to the first time we met.

It was a week after I had my first audition. I was to have another audition with Micah just to make sure that we had the chemistry. Chemistry was important in any on-screen relationship, but vitally important if the one of those relationships was to be on screen lovers. Without the chemistry, it would become bland and boring. Not really worth watching as my mother always would say.

In the elevator ride up to the penthouse, I could hear a soft, lilting melody on a piano. It was so beautiful. I'd never heard anything like it. It felt like something was calling to me on a deeper level. I couldn't quite figure out what it all meant, but each floor the elevator hit, I felt a pull from within me. I knew deep down that it was from my soul but how was this possible?

When the elevator finally stopped and doors opened, and the pull was stronger. I glanced at Micah who was watching me. Was he watching me we were feeling the same intense pull to each other or was he staring at me for gawking back at him?

Dear lord help me. Even from far away, the man was beautiful. His hair was dark and unruly. The just fucked hair looked hot on him. His dark beard was thick and bushy but looked soft. Oh and his arms thick and bulging, but not overtly so. Just enough to look like he had some power to him...to be able to pick me up in his arms...I needed to stop these tangent thoughts. Where are they coming from?

The way Micah dressed in his blue tee shirt and black jeans made it seem like he was a normal every day kind of guy, down to earth, the kind of man you'd bring home to the family....

Get a grip Sophia. I had to take a deep breath and all those feelings and thoughts away. Actually, I was just determined to ignore all that to make my way over to him, but the more I ignored the pull, the stronger it grew.

Finally, I was standing in front of Micah. My eyes did not do him justice from across the room. He was even more breathtaking.

My god, his eyes. I'd never quite seen any like his before. They were grayish blue with little bolts of green lighting. Mesmerizing. I think I could even get lost somewhere in there if I was to look too long. Even with his blue shirt, his eyes stood out more. How was that even possible? His nose looked as if it'd been broken at one point but it worked for him. It added to his good looks.

Micah gave me a broad smile. What a smile. It was...there were no words to describe that smile. It just...made everything all right. It was the kind of smile you always wanted to see, that you would do anything to make it happen again. The kind of smile that made you want to smile back. How can a smile like that affect me so?

The worst thing was, I wanted him, and I knew I couldn't have him. Somewhere deep inside me, I wanted to cry. My heart was breaking at the thought of not being able to be with him.

"Hello." Micah said in a beautiful British accent. That was so not fair. He had an accent too boot. Why god, why did you do that to me? "I'm Micah. And you're Sophia?"

THUD! That was me hitting the floor. That voice. Those eyes. That smile. He was the complete package.

All I could do was stare at him look like I was an idiot, but he didn't seem to mind. He probably figured I was star struck. I've seen my share of celebs; I was never star struck because to me, they were normal people.

"Hello..." I finally found my voice. "It's so good to finally meet you."

I decided right then and there we were only going to be friends. Micah was off limits, he was married and had a baby. I wasn't going to cross that line, but somewhere in the back of my mind, I kept hearing never say never.
