The quirky quest for happiness

HAZEL HOLLOWAY'S POV I screamed as I fired the gun in my hands knocking down the obstacles in front of me with accurate precision. I didn't scream out of joy but I screamed out of shock over the news I was hearing. "What do you mean by your going to Paris?" I flung the toy gun across my shoulders "It's for the movie I'm acting in" He said shrugging like the news I just heard out of the blue was no big deal. "How long" "What?" He turned around to face me giving me all his attention. "How long are you going to be gone?" I looked at him with my clear hazel eyes. "A year..." "What the f**k Benjamin..." "Hazel, it's just a year we could always FaceTime" "Yh of course we could" I said rolling my eyes sarcastically He then closed the space between us, quickly taking his hands to face and cupped my cheek making me look directly into his eyes. "I'll always be thinking of you...although the movie shoot ends a bit earlier than a year I just want to use the remaining few months and take a quick tour around, but after that I'll be right back to you" He said after which he pecked my forehead. I didn't fight it because I knew I was going to miss him so badly when he goes. We just stayed like that for a couple of minutes. I didn't know what was going through his head but I couldn't careless because my mind was in total shambles thinking of how I was going to cope alone but then a thought hit me like a lightning bolt. "Ben are they going to..." I pushed myself away from his hold to ask. "Going to what?" He stared down at me with his jet black eyes "s*x scenes" I blurted out looking away from his face "Yesss...?" He raised an eyebrow up like he was confused I sucked in deep breaths trying to calm myself down as I asked "Are they going to be real?" I turned my face back to his "In most contracts for many actors they are real while for others they aren't..." "So are they going to be real Benjamin?!" I started getting perplexed. I've date Benjamin for literally 4 years and I know when his avoiding a f*****g question by trying to sound smart at the same time. "I'm the main character of the movie Hazel...What do you think?" He let out a sigh "What do I think?!" My voice started to get octaves higher "Are they f*****g real or not Benjamin Thompson!" I screamed frustratedly not caring if people were looking at us. "Yes for goodness sake, is that what you wanted to hear?. I'm an actor Hazy, what do you expect?" "I expect you to act, not for you to travel for a freaking year to f**k other people and then come back to your secret girlfriend!" I punched him in the chest which had no effect on him "Your not my secret girlfriend Hazy..." "Post a pic" "What?" "Don't act stupid!, I said post a freaking picture of us together now!" "Hazy come on" "We have been dating for four years, FOUR DAMN YEARS!, but not a single pic of us together on your social media...why?" I stated directly into his eyes, not averting my eyes that burnt with fire "Hazy do we really have to..." "Answer me Ben!" "Hazel Holloway your acting like a kid" "Oh I'm so sorry grandma" I rolled my eyes while stomping my feet and flinging my hands everywhere. "Arghhh" He grunted rubbing his hands over his face "Okay Hazel you want to know the truth?...your embarrassing. Your work, your personality, everything" He said waving his hands around me "Embarrassing...I'm embarrassing?" my eyes began to sting as tears started to whelm up BREATHE HAZEL BREATHE! I chanted to myself as I bit my lower lip to focus my Pain unto something else. "Your a f*****g mascot at Mac Donald's Hazel!, and don't even get me started on your personality..." "What about my personality?" I asked folding my arms across my chest while still holding onto the toy gun "Well for starters your wearing a unicorn onesie at a carnival" He said slapping hand over his face as though he was ashamed of me "But you said your loved my onesie..." " I said I didn't hate them...grow up Hazel!" "Grow up?, grow up?!, well I'm not the one with a stupid carnival obsession, that literally drives 3 miles every single f*****g day dragging his secret hookup of a girlfriend to shoot a ridiculous toygun at ridiculous obstacles just to win a dumb giraffe price that you can never f*****g get!" "You said you loved my carnival rides" "I said I didn't hate them" I smirked victoriously He took in a deep breath and said "No one else can put up with your bullshit like I do Hazel... so just be a good girl and let's get going" Who the f**k did he think he was?. Something fueled me as my insides began boiling "No!" "No?" he questioned "Yes, no!...lots of people could put up with me!, I'm very likable...I could find a guy...I could find another guy to handle me and I could find him right now!" I said stomping my feet Which cause this stupid ass in front of me to break out in a fleet of laughter "f**k you Benjamin Thompson!...Fuck you...I hope your d**k get lost inside those stupid models in your dumb s*x scenes!" He just kept on laughing but now tears were streaming down his face. I'll show him!, I'll show him good!!, I'll get myself a boyfriend right here, right now!. I marched away from Ben with a newly found goal. I was going to show him who's boss. "Emmm...excuse me?" I tried talking to someone but he avoided me like the plague I tried again but this guy just ignored my existence. I glanced back slightly only to find a swarm of girls fluttering around Benjamin. What the hell!, it's been only five minutes since I left that spot, five freaking minutes!!. Maybe I should just go back and apologise, at least when his movie is over I'll be known as an actors girlfriend?. Ewww what I'm I thinking?!. I can't go back now...well i can't do it in public, I could go running to him in private. Wait no!, I won't go back!. I'm a b***h, I'm a bad b***h, yeah right I'm a bad b***h in a unicorn onesie. Oh no that sounds pathetic. Breathe Hazel, I can do this. At least I could try one last time, what's the harm in trying...again. Besides they do say third time's the try. I stood transfixed in the same position I was last rejected. My eyes began to scan around for the next suitable target. And there I saw him...I mean I saw his back, but trust me guys, from his back he has to be the perfect target. I marched up to him flirtatiously but I ended up looking like an i***t with a horn on her head and a rainbow coloured tail in-between her legs. Come on Hazy I can do this, you can easily attract a man. I'm sexy, I'm sexy! and that's what all women are. With the last atom of courage left after being rejected twice, I tapped his shoulder but it seemed as if he was on a FaceTime. So I decided to tap again, and again, and again and one more time and... "What woman?' He turned around swiftly knocking the breath out of me. His glare alone was like that if the sun and I wished the ground could just swallow me whole in that very minute. He had the most beautiful set of icy blue eyes I had ever seen. it looked as though his eyes could freeze someone by just looking at them. His chestnut curly hair fell slightly on his face giving his a boyish look I was more than starstruck guys I was in awe by just staring at his chiseled face. He turned around and ended his phone call and turned back again to face me "Are you alright?" He asked as his melodic angel like voice with a hint of British accent flooded my senses Was he talking to me?, was he really talking to me?. I looked around me expecting to see someone else. Although the carnival was filled with people none of them seemed to be the one he was referring to. He stepped a bit closer to me placing his hand on my forehead. "I'm no doctor and stuff but your temperature seems fine to me..." The feeling of his hands on my skin made me feel goosebumps. My whole body felt so hot that I could feel my cheeks turn bright red. His touch against my skin felt so cool but yet so hot at the same time, I could quite explain the feeling and I most definitely didn't like the fact that just a touch from him could shut down my entire brain system. Get yourself together Hazel... I took a step back from him to clear my head a bit but that didn't seem to work so I just cleared my throat and tried looking elsewhere just to cool my nerves down. Wait this is exactly what I need I burst out laughing so loudly that it caught the attention of half the crowd at the carnival and I was 100 percent, wait scratch that 200 percent sure that Ben was glaring too. Perfect! "Your so funny" I laughed so loudly that the sound of my voice even pierced my ears "I'm starting to get worried for you" He looked at me with concern and I guess a little bit of pity "Oh don't be, it's just that you make me laugh" I smiled foolishly making sure to shine my entire dentition to which he took a step back from me. "But I doubt I said anything funny?, besides you were the one tapping my shoulders so eagerly. I do advice you see a doctor before your condition gets out of hand" He shook his head sadly at me "What?! I'm no psycho, I just enjoy your company" I still kept grinning but choosed to reduced my tone of voice "I'm not ready to entertain fans right now" "I'm no fan you arrogant punk!" I still tried faking a forced smile on my face He swiftly closed the gap between us, leaned down to my level and said. "Well maybe to you I'm an arrogant punk but at least I'm not the one trying to get my boyfriend jealous" He whispered "Ex-boyfriend!, and wait how did you know?" "Well let's say you voices weren't even close to a whisper but rather an overt performance" He leaned even closer to me shifting a strand of hair from my face. He then trailed his hands from my hair to my cheeks and I could totally feel Ben's piercing gaze shooting daggers at my back. Double perfect. hehehe "If you just wanted my attention on how to make your boyfriend jealous you would have simply asked" He then started trailing his fingers across my freckles. "His my ex, get that right and I don't need your gloating ass, you fag!" I lashed back even though I actually needed him. "Fag?, fag!!, fag?!" He smiled showing his perfect white teeth Why does he have to be so handsome?. Arghhh! He unexpectedly nestled his head on my shoulder as his hot breath fluttered on my bare neck. "You call me a fag one more time and in the next five minutes your screams will be the one taking back everything you said" I felt so lightheaded as my face turned fifty shades of red. I felt electric currents flow through me. And in the next second I could feel his tongue on my neck trailing around as though he was toying with me. His teeth slightly nibbled on my skin letting me feel all kinds of things I never even thought I could feel. My legs felt weak as I gasped for air. My voice was stuck in my throat. I cant believe this is happening and of all the places at a freaking carnival!. Could no one see me? or were they freaking blind to see I was dying of...of...of sensation. I need help like right f*****g now!, if not my legs are going to give up on me. But before my legs could give up on me Ben came flying in and tried pushing Me hotty off of me but he didn't even flinch. Although after a while he gave me a little space. "Get off of her!" Ben barked like a dog Mr hotty just smirked which made me to die inside. He then slowly took my hand and folded the arm of my onesie up. "What the hell do you think your doing?" Ben barked again like a foolish dog this time around while I stood there letting his scent evade my senses. He just raised his eyebrow up at Ben like he was a fool while he quickly removed a pen from his pocket and wrote his phone number on my arm with the most beautiful handwriting I had ever seen Did everything about this guy have to be perfect! He held unto my arm and trailed his finger down to my wrist and I swear I don't know we're my brain is when I need it the most. He kissed my wrist, looked into my eyes an spoke "I'll take my leave now, but don't forget to call me" He shined his stupid set of perfect white teeth and left...
