I threw myself into my work and studies. Snagging a few commercial endorsements here and there to keep my hopes up and get my name out there. I developed the confidence that I lacked back when I was young. I became famous and a most sought after actress. My agency had to make me get into a fake relationship with the it guy.
I visited my friends and gave them tours as often as I could. But I could not ask them to be with me whenever I visited. The had their own lives to live and families to raise.
Families, I could only sigh and look at them in envy as their families grew. I still only had my parents with me. They were giving me heavy hints of at least entering a real relationship. When I turned twenty three, my parents introduced me to numerous guys from all walks of life. Some of them even looked like him. But, I could only smile at them in respect and keep it all to myself.
Then I saw him, he was in a hotel having dinner. I was alone and had just finished a shoot. It was such a surprise. I was about to have dinner with the crew when I saw him. I was dressed in my costume. Dressed as a villain in the most recent movie.
Yes, I am a bad guy. I found out being a bad ass girl, the paparazzi kept their distance. They were afraid of an action star's unpredictability. I was dressed in an ugly suit. I had prosthetics on my skin and was not allowed to remove them until the shoot was over. The only thing I was allowed to remove was the false teeth I was wearing on top of my good ones.
"Hey, Trevor," I said and he looked up at me.
His eyes widened and noticed the gun on my waist. I watched him go pale. "I swear, if I slept with you once, I've never met you before. If I somehow offended you, it was not intentional."
I laughed out loud. "Oh my. Trev, it's me, Katie. We went to school together. We've been classmates since forever."
"No, the Katie I know who was my classmate back then did not have scars on her person. Her eyes are hazel brown and she has auburn hair that burns against the sunrise," he said with a frown.
"Oh, Katie, you've met one of our producers. Meet Trevor Michaels," the director said.
I smiled at the director, "Yes, we've known each other since forever. Although I am quite hurt that my old friend does not recognize me. I should blame the make up department."
"Hey Katie, we're going to start shooting your massacre soon. You'd better start eating. I don't want you appearing like a rabid dog while on set," another director said sternly.
I could only nod, then on impulse, I threw my arms around Trevor, for the first time I was assaulted with his scent and warmth. Something I had been secretly wanting all my life. Then I released him, "It's good to see you again. I have to go, I don't want to delay the shoot anymore than necessary."
Hours later, we finished shooting for the day and I returned to my hotel room. I was still recalling his sweet scent inside my brain. It was just a miracle I managed to focus on my scenes while my heart was beating a mile a minute. He was watching me act, I had to force myself not to smile and fan girl him.
I took a long hot shower and was dressed in my ducky pj's when the was a knock on my door. After checking my peep hole, I was shocked to see him.I quickly opened the door after swallowing hard a couple of times. "Hey?" I said and frowned when I saw his look of relief.
"I can't believe it. It is you!" He said and wrapped his arms around me.
"Oh!" I said and returned his embrace. Then I let him inside my suite. "You didn't believe me?" I asked aghast.
"Well, you were wearing half a ton of make up. It was difficult to tell who you were," he remarked.
I had to smile, "Do you want anything?"
