Afraid to Love ✔

Part 3

Lau

We are escorted to the sofas nearest to the set. I could see the green screen and the monitors of what it was supposed to look like. I don't see Mai or Mia, but I did see the security guy, Matt and the two guys that were with Mai earler. Muse played in the background. The energy was really high.
"Places people. Are we ready now?" The lead photographer called.
The photographer's assistant scrolled through the background images that shown on the monitors until it changed to a beach, checked the lighting levels one more time, then hurried back to the background.
Mai joined us on the sofa.
"What's this for?" Larry asked.
"A fashion magazine cover and a few pages." Mai whispered.
"Good!" the photographer clapped his hands.
I looked behind me at the moving figure. She was wearing a knee length robe. Her hair looked shiny and full of big barrel curls. 'Her hair hadn't looked like that in the car, did it?'
She smiled and slightly waved as Mai gave her thumbs up. She took her robe off as she stepped on set.
My heart was unexpectedly in my throat. What is this?
Her first outfit, was a one piece bathing suit that looked like a wild animal had gotten to it. There were pieces of material missing an oddly random places. She sat on the beach chair, then leaned back with her eyes closed. The photographer started to take pictures without a word of direction.
She had the look of a fallen angel when she posed. Her face lit up when she smiled and she had a sexy smile. Her eyes burned through me every time she looked at me. Why is this happening?
She continued to move smoothly from pose to pose until the photographer said 'next'. Every time she looked at me her gaze seemed to awaken something in me.
An assistant came over and whispered to Mai. "Oh okay, thanks. Yes, interval 2 should do." Mai replied.

"Okay, Mia's last sets is a bedroom scene but first a 'fresh out the ocean' look, then we're done." The music changed to softer more romantic music. The scene and set was just the green screen.

Mia walked out fluffing her now large wavy curls. The robe fell open revealing this small white bikini with lots of tiny straps holding barely any fabric that barely covered her. My heart beat double time. She was humming as she walked past us onto the set. She smiled over her shoulder when the camera started flashing as she 'walked' in the ocean. Her hair billowed like wind was blowing through it. She has great legs, her waist is so small. "I could spent hours running my tongue over her chest." Hmmmm. 'Was that out loud?' I looked at my brother who was shaking his head.
Mia continued to move without any directions but seemed to be giving the photographer exactly what he wanted.

"Next."

Invented Sex started playing when Mia stepped on set. Her bedroom costume would be the death of me. I looked around. Larry was moving to the beat while scrolling through his phone barely looking up. Mai was over talking to an assistant again. I tried not to stare but now every time she posed this time she gazed at me first. It took all of my control not to join her on that bed and rip that little babydoll nightie and thong off her.
The song changed to Dive In. 'Are you kidding me?' She looked so sensual like she was calling me, the way she smiled at the camera. I could see her fantasy of us together, it was one of the most intense feelings I felt. The song changed from Panty Wetter to Love Faces. By the end I had exhausted my restraint, I had to have her.

An hour 45 minutes after the photoshoot started, it was over. Mia put on a floor length robe then she smiled and thanked everyone for their hard work. She kissed the photographer on the forehead then bounced over to the sofa beside me. She smells so good.

Larry

"Thanks for coming to watch me work." Mia beams at us.
"You natural, right Lau?" I say but Lau seems to have gone mute. Lau looks down at his phone every time Mia looks at him. 'What's wrong with him?'

"Well, how was your meeting earlier Larry? Did you get the outcome you wanted?" Mia smiles at me but glances towards Lau occasionally, who still hasn't looked at her since she started talking.
"I think so," I see Mai walking around.
"That's good to hear. Well I'm going to get going, thanks again for coming to watch me. Sorry you're bored." Mia looks at Lau one more time before she turns away. "Oh, if you want Mykael will take you wherever you want in my car." She quickly walks behind the curtains.
"What happened?" Mai asked looking from Lau to me then back to Lau.
"She thanked us for coming and apologize for us being bored." I say punching my brother in the arm.
"Fuck u doing Bro?" Lau grumbles but still did not look up from his phone.
"Fuck, you mean? You scare her off. You no like her now?"
"What you talking about?" Lau said putting his phone away then stood to fix his clothes. "We just busy."
"I see. I will let Mia's driver know." Mai disappears in the hall. The crowd thins a little, "You no like her?" I ask again.
"Who Mai? She fine." Lau says as he pulls his phone out again.
"Mia, her sister? Bro what is up with you?" I press for an answer as Mai waves from the hall.
"Come on, we leave." Lau grumbles putting his phone away again.
As we walk out the door, a guy in a suit approached us. "The black Mercedes truck with the tinted window is Miss Bonaparte's vehicle. Mykael is waiting."
Mai comes out of the building as we get in the truck. "Hold on."
(Mai on the phone) "When did she leave? She's doing what?!" Mai's voice echoes off nearby buildings." I lowered the window, "You okay?" I smile as Mai realizes I'm talking to her.
"Huh? Oh, uh yeah. Mia just went shopping." Mai said rubbing her temples.
"Is it bad?"
"Huh? Oh no it isn't." Mai answers but I know there's something.
She quickly rushes to her car.

Mai

"Mr. Change, I need to get to wherever one could test drive a Rolls-Royce Phantom around here."
"What do you mean she taking some time off?" Why is she being suck a drama queen about this? "Sorry say again? She what?? Where's Matt? Where'd she find one of those in London!?! Who even sells those here? I don't care where it's assembled, stop her!! Where are you? I'm coming to you!" Mai exhales. "Please hurry Mr. Change. I have to talk my sister out of buying a Hennessey Venom GT before she does something stupid."
Later that night Larry texted me asking how Mia was doing. I told him she was resting. He's really a nice guy.
The truth was I arrived too late and she already bought the car and was probably halfway to who knows where by now.
I tried calling Matt several times but he would only assure me he was on the job, but wouldn't let me talk to Mia and she wasn't answering my calls.
The next day I received a text from Mia asking me not to disturb her time off. Big Sexy was closer than her shadow, feel free to contact him.

Larry text me good morning, which I quickly respond in kind before asking if she wants me to come to her. She quickly responded, 'NO'.
I mean it's not like she had anything firm planned, but it would have been nice if we discussed this before she ran away.

After 3 months of dating with very little contact with my sister Larry asks, "Is this the longest you be apart?"
"The longest she's chosen to be away from me, yes." I try not to frown.
"Why you no go visit?" He kisses my neck.
"She won't tell me where she is."
He frowns, "you fight?"
"Mia doesn't argue and you'll almost never see her mad or angry."
"Why?"
"I'm not sure, she's either very Zen or she on her way to a brain aneurysm."
Larry laughs, "You see the celebrity news lately?"
I had to admit I hadn't. I quickly pull up a celebrity gossip site and typed in my sister's name. My mouth fell open as I saw Larry amusement at my reaction.
My sister was dating a famous Australian actor and he was gorgeous, taller than her, blonde hair, blue eyes and a devilish smile.
"Larry, how long have you known?"
He whispers, "About 2 months, since I saw Lau was reading it."
"Is he stalking my sister? No that's silly. Why would he ignore her if he was interested?"
Larry has the answers but he won't spill. (Imagine that)
Before he left he asked if I was going to visit her soon.
"I'm not sure, I have to talk to my sister about it first." He kisses me one last time then gets on the plane.
'Well I guess she moved on.'
I call to congratulate her but she didn't answer so I sent a text instead.
"Wow! Your new Beau is really attractive. I hope we can meet him soon." She responds immediately, why didn't she just answer my call?
"It's too soon for that."
"How did you too meet?"
"He approached me while I was leaving a movie a few months ago."
"You're already being photographed with him, but he can't meet your family?"
"What are you getting at?"
"Nothing I just want to check him out, make sure he's a good guy."
"That's not necessary."
"Why are you pushing back in this?"
"Because you interference in my life is unwanted."
"I don't interfere, I just want you happy."
"I was until you brought Les Twins to my photoshoot."
"I know you like the older twin I just wanted him to see how great you are."
"I asked you not to arrange any meetings. But you drag him to my job against my wishes, surprising me and I ended up babbling nonsense like some starstruck groupie."
"You are overreacting."
"Really? Okay, did his brother tell you what he said to me after the shoot?"
"No."
"Because there was nothing to to tell, he treated me like a stank groupie, ignoring me completely. Leave me alone and don't you dare think about 'popping up' on me."
"Mia, I don't think he thinks of you that way."
"Mai, drop it. How about you focus on your life or haven't you seen the videos and pictures of twin with other girls. Did you know he still 'spends time' with his daughter's mother?"
Okay now she's trying to be hurtful. We weren't together, I mean we were but we never discussed a relationship.
"Okay, I'm sorry I interfered. I love you Mia."
"My love to you Mai."
