Chapter 47: Cheater

Aaron POV
I just finished the first two weeks of being in New York. It had a rough start but I warmed up to it. I started to get to know my coworkers more. We're starting to become family, which is pretty cool. If we're going to be on set with each other all day then we might as well become family. How hard would it be to to shot a movie with people you don't like.

My only problem I had with people is with one of my coworkers. She plays my love interest in the movie. At first she was all over me during shooting. I thought it was because it was her first time acting in something big and she was trying to get comfortable. I could relate because it was mine too and I know the struggle of trying to get comfortable and in character and people. What threw me off is that she was like that off set. I was being clueless and didn't know if she was just struggling to go in and out of character or did she just gravitate towards me because we knew each other first and we were in the same situation. I started to see that it wasn't that. It made me uncomfortable. I have a wife and kids at home and the last thing that I would want to do is betray their trust. Whenever there was something that her and I were both involved with, I would stick with other people. I just want to make sure it's never a situation that we're together and alone. I don't want any allegations on my name especially because it's my first year. I wouldn't want to ruin my reputation and I would never want to hurt Roni or the twins.

This had been going on for days. I had been ducking and diving away from her except for on scenes that we had to do together, which were a lot. We're the main characters, so it's kind of hard to ignore her. I still tried my best to get away from her though. I even asked if they could move my trailer on the other side of the area so I can be away from her. I make sure to show as many signs that I'm uncomfortable as I can, so that everyone knows that I'm not intentionally doing anything to her.

By the end of this second week I've had enough of it. I'm tired of her getting in my personal space and making me feel weird. I don't want to walk on eggshells anymore. Before I report anything, I want to get some proof. I know in situations like this sometimes people don't believe that a man is being harassed but I don't want anyone to not have a reason to believe me. I haven't told Roni yet but I'll definitely tell her when I get evidence. She'll be the first to hear it so she'll have no reason to accuse me of cheating. It's not like she would, but I'm just making sure.

Since I'm determined to get proof, I grab my camera. I decide to explain what I'm doing. I know that her room is near by and I don't want her to hear me so I whisper.

"Ok guys, I have a coworker whose constantly wanting to be around me. She doesn't respect my personal space and no matter how much I push her away. I don't think people would just believe me if I just flat out said that so I'm just going to record my night and the rest of my mornings. I'm actually supposed to have another one of my coworkers come in to play cards. I invited him over so I won't be alone with her." I say to the camera. I prop it up on my TV and kind of hide it so that she can't see it.

When my other coworker, who's coincidentally named Alex walks in, I point out the camera to him so that he knows. He knows about the whole situation so he thinks it's a good idea. We play cards for awhile until he gets an urgent phone call. I ask him to stay but he has to leave and take the call, so I won't hold him. He leaves out and I pack up the cards. About fifteen minutes later I hear a knock on the door. I thought that it was maybe Alex coming back, but when I looked out the peephole. It's my coworker, Angie. Her real name is Angelina and Angie is her nickname do I just call her Angelina so she doesn't get the idea that we're anything more than coworkers. I run back to the camera and mouth that she's here even though I didn't invite her. I open the door for her. She comes in. She goes in for a hug and I dodge it. I stay standing so she has no opportunity to take advantage of me. She sits on my bed. She pats beside her to sit. I nod my head no.

"I have a wife and kids and I'm not interested in doing anything" I say

"Come on, forget about them. Let's have some fun."

"No thank you" I say. I back away as her hand starts to move to my pants. I push her away. I've never put my hands on a woman but I might have to today. I back up to the door and she follows. I finally push her outside the door. I don't do it to hard. She looks pissed. I quickly close the door and lock it. I send the footage to Roni with a long paragraph of what happened just in case any allegations come out and I take a shower. Even though I feel a little violated, I'm finally glad that I have that proof and I can go to bed easy and know that I have the truth.
