We Were Destined to be together

PART II

New day but the same old story. As usual I am late and I don't think I can ever be on time anyday. But let's hope for the best for the last. On my last day of the shoot I will be on time for sure. Shoot was on. My part was after half an hour. I got ready and was handed the scene which we have to shoot.
Oh shit! Are they trying to play with my emotions. How am I supposed to do that? Here I am trying to control my feelings and there they are hell bent on me loosing my sanity. I am supposed to do a scene where I will be almost touching those luscious lips which are no less than rose petals. Oh lord help me with this. I don't know when these feelings developed inside me. When I got so attracted towards her knowing she has a boyfriend and is in a happy space. Is it just her pretty face or her very much endearing nature that pulls me towards her.
I was shot back to reality when spotboy called out for me. The scene was set. I was very nervous. It was not the first time that I was close to a girl. But it is the first time when I will be this much close to her.
Hmm someone is lost in his own thoughts? Her melodious voice hit my eardrums.
What? No I m not lost. I was just thinking about the scene.
Yes so lost that you didn't even greet me.
Oh I am sorry I was just...leave it tell me how was your day? You've been shooting since morning. Must be tired?
Yes I am. This is the last scene after that pack up for me and work ON for you.
Ya ya I know. You must be feeling very happy but why are u going? You didn't take early leave even when you are ill.
What's the matter?
It's Rahul's birthday tomorrow. So a special evening and a small surprise for him.
Those words hit me hard. Oh so it's her bf birthday that's why she is leaving early. But why am I feeling terrible. Every gf does that she is no exception.
Ok get ready for the scene guys. Lights camera ACTION.
You can't go like this. You need to prepare that project right now.
I won't Mr. Aman Khanna. I am your employee not your slave. I work according to certain norms and I won't be working exceeding my hours for an ungrateful boss like you. Leave me.
Is this a way to talk to your boss? You know I can fire you right now.
Then please fire me. I don't want to work here anymore with a disgusting person like you.
How dare you?
With that Aman Khanna pinned Riya against the wall and draw his face dangerously close to her. Their lips almost touching each other. Their breaths mingled. Time froze there.
You can't leave my office without my permission. Remember that you have a family to support and an ill mother to look after. So don't you dare talk to me like that again. Get back to work. I need that presentation within an hour.
With that he left her rooted to her spot. She didn't realise what happened. She was numb.
Get back to work.
With that she came out of that shock and left the cabin.
CUT. Amazing scene. Great job guys.
Finally the scene was shot and I was feeling horrible. I was this much close to Pratiksha that I was breathing her air. It was relaxing yet suffocating. Our lips almost touched each other. It was a beautiful feeling. How much I wanted to take those lips into mine. What the hell is happening to me. It was just a scene and I am an actor. That was my job. The scene got over and I should be out of it too.
I excused myself for a cigarette. May be that will help me to get out of this indifferent suffocation.
