Chapter 3
Mine and Jeffery's lips moved in sync. He bit my lower lip slightly and traced my hips with his fingertips.
Travis, why the heck does he have to ruin everything, him and his stupid white hair, his dumb green eyes. In fact, why am I thinking about him when I'm making out with my boyfriend?!
"Kate?"
Jeffery pulled away
"What?"
"Not trying to be nitpicky but...you don't seem to be into this right now"
I sighed.
"I'm sorry, but I just...I'm just distracted"
"Clearly" he chuckled, "it's fine why don't we just watch a movie?"
I nodded and got off his lap, cuddling up to his shoulder. Jeffery turned on Good Morning Vietnam, and we watched, but my mind was elsewhere.
Aph came home.
"If anyone's naked, I apologize in advance. But I've been gone for an hour and a half"
I laughed.
"It's fine, Aph"
She walked in and sighed. She plopped on the couch beside me and leaned her head on my shoulder.
I stroked her hair and stared at the screen blankly.
"I'm going to bed" I kissed Jeffery's cheek and pet Aph on the head. I threw on my sweats and collapsed onto my bed.
The next morning I realised I had to go to rehearsal again.
This time I just showered and put on a random outfit. Putting my hair in a ponytail. I didn't talk to anyone and then just drove off in a bad mood.
When I arrived I saw one of the producers walked out. He spotted me and ran over to me.
"Miss Blackwood! Have you heard from Mr. North?"
"Uh, no?"
"He just quite the movie! We need him! I mean, we have you, but we need both of you an-"
"Relax, have you tried calling him?"
"Yes, but his agent isn't answering"
I sighed
"What do you want me to do?"
"He might listen to you-"
I didn't let the producer finish, I started to walk away.
"Miss. Blackwood! This movie will be an even bigger success with both of you! And if you do this....we'll raise your pay!"
I turned on my heel and got in my car. I drove in silence, plotting my murder, as I made my way to Travis' house.
I got to the large house and walked up the steps, ignoring the immense security surrounding his house. I tapped my foot impatiently until he answered.
"Heey, Katelyn" Travis leaned on the doorway, "to what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Why'd you quite the movie?"
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that-"
"Travis, why'd you quite?"
"You were uncomfortable with me being your co-star"
"As much as I hate to admit it, the movie would be more successful with both of us. So let's not act like children, and just get through this movie like two adults"
Travis looked a little taken back by my words, but smiled anyways.
"Okay, if you want me there so bad. I'll come" he sighed dramatically, "give me a drive?"
I rolled my eyes, and he grinned. He got into the passenger seat and waited for me to get in the driver's seat.
We drove to the studio and the producers almost trampled us when they ran over.
"Mr. North! Miss. Blackwood!" They said in unison, "Mr. North, does this mean..."
"Yes, after Miss. Blackwood came and convinced me"
Well that was odd....
Travis' tone was so....serious and....professional. That was rare, well to me anyways.
We walked inside and they directed us to rehearse a specific scene to see what they wanted done.
"The names Jason" Travis said while sitting in a chair beside a table that was provided.
"Whatever, I don't need a babysitter"
"I'm not babysitting you, I'm protecting you"
"You're more like a parole officer" I scoffed.
"Listen, Maria, I am here to protect you" Travis stood up, his chair skidding behind him, he slammed his hands on the table, "cause there are people out there who want you dead"
I slammed my hands on the table, my face mere inches from his and I growled.
"I can protect myself"
"Oh you can, can you? Then tell me something, Maria, why'd I have to come and save your sorry butt?"
"I could've gotten away just fine without any help from you"
"You see, that's where you're wrong. Now, I was hired to protect you at all costs, so I'm going to do my job."
I growled and stormed "off stage" our director clapped. I came back and sat in a chair while the director went over some things with Travis.
Nicole, one of our co-stars, and one of my best friends, walked over to me and hugged me.
"Kate! That was awesome! Listen, I'm throwing a party next week to celebrate the new movie! You have a plus one"
"Thanks! I'm so excited"
"Great! I feel bad for you, you have to kiss Travis. A lot
"I know, I know. Don't remind me"
"On the plus hand, I hear he's a good kisser"
"From who?" I laughed
"Lucinda"
"What?! When did they kiss?!"
"They were in a movie together, remember?"
"Oh, right"
Nicole and I chatted for a little while until she had to go. I walked out to my car to see that it was turning night. A smile crept to my face. I looked at my phone to see it was 1:00am, I loved this time of night. Phoenix Drop was so peaceful, and so quiet at this time. It's like I'm the only one alive. The parking lot was practically empty, so I sat on the hood of my car and stared at the stars. They danced and twinkled to the soft music I had playing through my phone, my headphones were plugged in of course.
"What're you doing?" I heard a soft voice chuckle. I unplugged one ear bud and saw a dark figure. It was still really dark, so I couldn't make out the face. But, judging by the voice, I assumed it was Travis.
"Just watching the stars...it's so quiet at this time"
"Yeah, it's really peaceful....mind if I join you?"
"Uh, sure. It is Travis, right?"
"Afraid so" he chuckled and sat beside me. He took the ear bud that wasn't in my ear and plugged it into his. He recognized the song and softly sang along.
" Some day, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearin' my fear apart
And that laugh..wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Lovely ... Never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart
Lovely ... Don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you
a-just the way you look tonight
Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look tonight"
His voice was beautiful, and I found myself smiling at him. Travis turned his head and I felt him smile back.
"Lovely...never change, keep that breathless charm" he whispered. I felt my cheeks heat up, and my heart did this weird...fluttering thing.
"I...better go" I whispered.
"Okay, seeya tomorrow"
Travis slid off my car hood and then I heard his footsteps stop.
"Heh...you're my drive"
I sighed and got in the driver's seat again. Travis started to doze off as I drove him home. I slapped his arm to wake him up, and he did eventually.
"Seeya, goodnight"
And then I went to my own home. I laid in my bed and took a deep breath.
Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
