Chapter 16
I had an idea of how I should deal with things today, but unfortunately my morning had not been going according to plan.
I’d hadn’t been able to sleep well last night because every time I closed my eyes I saw Holly with rosy cheeks and subtly swollen lips, a hint of something in her eyes that I'd never seen there before. That kiss had been intense and sexy.
It had all started out innocent enough, with me asking her to help so I could be sure I had my lines down one day. But then we did a scene where I pushed her hair out of her face the next day and with that I only wanted to touch her more. From then on we’d been running lines nearly every day and she’d put up with some of the slightly physical scenes, though nothing too drastic; just holding her hand or a quick embrace.
With each scene I felt myself grow more attracted to her and my need to kiss her became all consuming. I knew it was wrong and she was just doing her job, but still I continued to ask her to help me, feeding her some rubbish about getting the flow down before shooting started. I knew my lines completely by then, but I couldn’t help but take advantage of the opportunity to touch her. I felt like complete scum for taking advantage, but I hadn't slept with anyone in months and I couldn’t stop wanting her to fill that void.
I knew that day in my trailer that I would be crossing a line. I was sure that she wouldn’t kiss me back, might even slap me, but I had to try something. She was wearing black tights and a long tightly fitted navy blue shirt that stopped just below her ass, which it clung to of course. She had on black ballet flats and her hair was curled and flowing around her face and down just past her chest. She looked beautiful and with Paul out of the picture and us getting closer, I thought maybe something could happen between us... though I didn't know what. I didn't really do the girlfriend thing, but we were friends so a little friends with benefits scenario seemed extremely appealing.
She had agreed to do the scenes without even looking and since she handled the first with ease I thought it was time to work in a kissing scene. She wiped away the tears that came easily when I was in character and in turn I used my thumb to remove the small tear from her cheek. I wasn’t sure if she was reacting to the scene or if she was acting as well. Truth be told that when we practiced I wondered why she wasn’t an actor too. She was pretty believable and part of me hoped it was really just because she felt something for me too.
When we started the next scene she turned her back as the script had told her to and I was silently screaming with excitement as I pulled her hair out of the way and kissed her neck. She smelled sweet and delicious and I couldn’t help but put my hands on her hips and pull myself closer. The moment was coming and the anticipation was simultaneously turning me on and terrifying me. And nothing ever terrrified me.
When she whipped around and pushed me back I worried she was going to stop me, but she continued with her lines so I did too. The look in her eyes was pure shock as my lips made their way to hers, but she gave in and kissed me back. It was meant to be a passionate kiss per the script, but I knew that it was still supposed to be a short one. That didn’t stop me from sliding my tongue in her mouth or pulling her tight against me. When her arms went around my neck I started to believe she wasn’t acting anymore.
I didn’t want it to end; she had me so turned on that all I could think about was what I wanted to do to her in that moment. I forgot that I was supposed to be on set already and that she was my assistant and now also my friend and that this could ruin everything. Instead I remembered how cute she looked eating breakfast in my kitchen, hyper from all of the coffee she drank, how hard she worked to make my life easier, even when it wasn’t necessary, how sexy she looked now that she was wearing normal clothes, and how much I wanted to take her right there in my trailer.
