The Cheating game

Can she handle him

*Alicia*
"Guess who ?" A warm voice ask and my eyes are covered by big warm hands.

I am watching, or rather was watching the set as always, in case Tom need me to fix his make-up.

I can't help giggling as I grab his wrists. "Zac, why do you keep doing that ? Do you seriously think that you will fool me some day ?"

"I keep hoping, but you are right, you seem to always recognise me no matter what". He answer grinning down at me as I turn to face him.

I shake my head lightly. "Do you wanna know why sweetie ? Because I can smell you.. I know you are there even before you touch me.. each and every time".

"I am not sure if that is good or bad.. I hope it is because I smell good though". His dark eyes are sparkling mischievously and I hurriedly look at the set instead.. those eyes always takes my breath away.

"Why are you here by the way ? You are not shooting today are you ?" I quickly change the subject.

He run his hand through his hair. "Well, I am going to get my wig fitted.. no way I am having this bleached again.. oh and then I wanted to tell you to be ready at 5 pm".

"Why do I have to be ready at 5 pm ? Where am I going ?" I look at him wide-eyed, not sure I will like what he is going to say.

He sends me one of those dashing smiles. "Well honey pie, you are going to be my date today of course and I won't take no for an answer".

"But.. But Zac.. I don't think Tom is going to like that". My heart is pounding like crazy. "It's just not a good idea". I look at him pleadingly.

Zac just shake his head. "Tom needs my help and I need a date.. so I promise you, he is not going to complain".

"You do know that you are quite impossible right ?" I glare at him, but a part of me really want to go, just to see what will happen.. and okay I like spending time with Zac.. he always makes me happy.

"Yup, and that is why you love me so much.. see you at 5 and wear something pretty for me baby". He sends me a teasing wink before leaving, a big grin on his face.

Two minutes later Tom comes hurrying over.. they are having a small break. "What is Zac doing here ?"

"He is going to have his wig fitted..and he was insisting that I should be his date tonight to the party". I look nervously at Tom.

I can see his jaw tighten and his mouth set into a thin line. "I am not happy about that Alli.. but I guess you want to be there and I trust you to behave".

"Thank you Tom.. yes, I would really like to be there.. and don't worry, I can control Zac.. also I am not interested in him in that way". I squeeze his hand softly, the best I can do with people watching. It is the truth right ? Then why do I feel like I just lied ?

He shakes his head, but at least he is smiling at me. "If you can control him, you would be the first".

I watch Tom as he walk back on set.. hope he really is okay with this.. I just really want to be there and no matter what Tom seems to believe, I know I can control Zac and more importantly, I can control myself.

When I am. off for the day, I hurry back to the hotel, and have a long relaxing shower. I am thinking about the evening.. it isn't going to be easy.. I mean having to see Tom with her.. his girlfriend... and pretending to be with Zac.. not getting pulled back in by his charms.. no I am sure he won't try anything.

I thought about just wearing jeans and a shirt, but it is a party after all and I want to fit in.. also Zac told me to wear something pretty..so I curl my hair and put on makeup with bright red lips.

I end up choosing a somewhat simple red of one shoulder cocktail dress, that hugs my body just right.. I pair it of with black strappy stilettos.. I am sure Tom will love it , but so will Zac no doubt.

I have just finished getting ready, when there is a knock on my door, and I open it to Zac, who walk in.. looking just a bit smug.

His eyes run over me and he gives me an appreciative smile. "You look absolutely amazing and quite sexy tonight baby".

"Thanks Zac, you don't look bad yourself, not even with those silver streaks". I tell him, running a hand into his soft hair, tugging it lightly.

And he does look good.. as always.. he is wearing fitted jeans, a pale blue button down shirt and a light grey waistcoat.. the grey in his hair only serve to make him look more distinguished and masculine.

He offers me his arm and I accept it happily. "Let's get to the party.. your coach awaits you my princess".

"Just remember that it isn't me you are supposed to charm tonight". I tell him..grinning, letting him lead me to the waiting car.

He open the back door and slide in next to me.. I look at him duly impressed. "Really ? A chauffeur ?"

"Well..nothing is to good for my girlfriend..whoops, did I forget to tell you that you will be posing as my long term girlfriend tonight". He say with a sly smile spreading on his lips.
