Chapter 18

It was an awkward moment for both of them, Harry was still getting her head round the fact that she actually had the real Jason Statham in her kitchen, and Jason was wondering how they could move forward, knowing that the press wasn't going to just go and leave them alone. Jason wondered and worried about Harry, living in the constant glare of cameras and people nosing into their lives was not going to be easy and wasn't easy to get used to. Jason had always tried to maintain some sort of privacy but it wasn't always possible.

There were so many things and obstacles in their way, Jason wondered if perhaps maybe he was and would be asking too much of Harry, there was so much they had to talk about and decide, but for now, just being with her was enough.

"We need to talk but I hardly know where to begin." Harry flicked the kettle on and kept her hands busy even though they were still shaking, she was no longer talking to just some wanna be actor, he was actually the real thing. The Real Jason Statham. 'God' when she thought of all the stupid things she must have said, she blushed.

"I know, let's just get through today. I am sorry about Caron though, I wasn't expecting her to fly over and turn up here."

"She must really love you..."

"Nah she loves the limelight, the reporters and the attention, that's all." Jason knew Caron didn't love him and probably never did.

"Will she come back?" Harry asked wondering how she could prepare herself better for next time, maybe even google some 'comebacks' and good retorts. It's always after the fact you think of something great to say.

"I honestly don't know, I doubt it, I think she's made her presence felt and did what came to do, create a sensation and get her face in all the papers."

"Is it like that all the time?"

"What?"

"The papers outside your door just waiting for you."

Jason was quiet for a moment, he didn't want to scare Harry off, "It can be."

"How do you cope with it?"

"I moved to a huge house with security and keep as private as possible. Have you seen much of me in the paper, apart from when I am promoting a film?"

Now that was true Harry thought, she hadn't read much about him not even in interviews, "What about your family, how do they cope?"

"I keep them out of it as much as possible and they support me in everything I do and have done." Jason was grateful to his family and kept a close bond with them even if was mainly over the phone however he had managed to get home without any press interruptions over the years.

"And you're really here because there was accident at your work on a film set?"

"Yes, a stunt man died doing a stunt that I was supposed to be doing and for that I feel bad, the film company thought it best while an investigation was going on I take a break from it all."

"That's good they look out for you."

"I'm not so sure they were looking out for me but more protecting any bad press the film might attract." That wasn't strictly true, Jason knew Guy was looking out for him too, but he wasn't daft the film had to be protected from any negativity.

"So, what now? When do you go back?"

"I'm not sure, soon I guess, the investigation is over, it was just a terrible accident, the family are being compensated not that it makes it any better, they still lost a son and a father."
