I just stared at those blood red lips and had it not been hers I would have thought that the devil painted it himself and they are just a sweet delicious poison but as soon as it touched my lips I know they were not the poison but a cure.
I woke up to a dream which was not a nightmare. It was a pleasant change for me since I had been suffering from nightmares for too long. I know I was losing a piece of sanity when I dreamt of Magenta and her lips. As much as it brought other thoughts to mind I know this was wrong from my end.
Just because I didn't keep a promise she refused to have coffee with me. And this thought was aggravating me more than it should. What was she expecting? That I will change as a person or did she thought I needed her more than I needed pain in my life.
I don't depend on people anymore, it always ends up disappointing you.
I picked up my cell phone to check any messages and was surprised to find a schedule waiting for me. I did dodge the photoshoot for almost a week and meanwhile, I did ask Magenta to have a coffee with me because I can't walk in that Coffee Cottage alone. And photo studio was right above it. I couldn't delay it any longer.
I pulled myself up from the bed swinging my legs lazily down the bed on my the carpet.
Reluctantly I dialled Ash's number and hoped that he would not pick up but of course he did.
"Why do you torture me this much Jeremy?"He asked with a tormented voice and I sighed.
"Let's go where ever you want."
"Really?" He asked disbelief evident in his voice.
I hmm-ed not wanting to mutter more words right after I woke up.
"Okay then let's start with a meeting with Sapphire and the director." I inhaled sharply at his words.
I did not want to meet her.
"And don't tell me you don't want to meet her." He reprimanded me like he could read minds.
"I will meet her but keep the meeting short." I took a chance of facing the fears even if it was painful because wasn't I thriving on pain?

The sharp smell of fragrance hit me as I sat down across Sapphire and our Director for the movie still untitled. Sapphire was in urgent need of change in her perfume collection, that fragrance was making me nauseous.
And just like that, I was being stared at by both of them.
"Make it short," I said even before they both could utter a word.
Director, Lincon handed me the script and one to Sapphire.
"Can we enact a scene?" He looked scared of making that request.
"Sure," I said surprising them both.
He thought I knew what the story was about but I was completely trusting Ash with this one.
