Crossed paths

Chapter 4 She Is Here

Jack

I just shot the promo for the intro and I already hate all this camera and crowd.  I need a drink if I have to survive in this. 

I asked William to get me coffee 20 min ago, what in the world is taking him so much of time. 

I should better get it myself. I got out of my room and was moving towards the kitchen when suddenly a brunette bumped into me.

I tried to keep my balance and caught her by the waist to prevent her from falling. My hands almost naturally went to her back and I held her tightly to my chest. 

My nose caught a unique smell and I  felt something twist in my stomach. 

She smelled similar to jasmine and sunshine. I almost unwillingly lose my arm around her and steadied her on the ground. 

She balanced and stood there and removed all the hairs that have fallen all over the face. I was about to ask if she was okay when I saw her face I was struck.  It was Allena. 

"What the heck, what are you doing here "she squeals tripping again. I put my hand on the small of her back to prevent her from falling but also because I liked it too much. 

I looked into her eyes and Shock clearly visible in her deep blue eye. She could never hide her emotions it was all over her face. Her dress also blues brought out the color of her eye and showed all the curves of her body. 

Her flawless skin looked so soft and her cheeks were flushed with pink. I didn't know it was possible but she looked even more beautiful from the last time I saw her. Her plump lips pouting were looking so delicious. I was instantly hard.  

The chemistry was palpable. It was like no time has passed between us and it was like yesterday she was mine in my arms. 

Then I remembered how she left me hanging with no explanation like I was no one to her. 

"I am the lead here.  What are you doing here? On the hunt to trap another rich guy huh".I said but immediately regretted it seeing the pain in her eyes which shouldn't because she deserved every bit of it. She is one of those manipulative women.

"I... I am an assistant here. I don't care what you think about me and it would be better if you keep your judgment to yourself. Now get out of my way" she moved past me and left me standing once again.

I entered the kitchen and saw William struggling with the coffee maker. As soon as he sees me his face goes white with fear. 

"Sorry, sir the coffee machine is not working. I will get your coffee from the nearest Starbucks "he babble

"No need to do that. I am going to my room just to ensure that no one disturbs me for the next hour " I said and went straight to my room. 

I sat on the chair and tried to do work but am not able to concentrate. My mind keeps going back to the thoughts of Allena.  I can't stop thinking about her. 

I can't do this again. Just meeting seeing her has such an impact on me. I can't let her mess with my life again.  I need to distance myself from her. 

I called the show coordinator. 

"Jackson Paul this side. I don't want Allena Ramor on assistant here on the set ever again.  Put her on a different show and get it done faster "

"Yes Mr. Paul, It will be done within half an hour " I cut the line still feeling uneasy. 

Now I need something way stronger than coffee.
