Chapter 11 - Countdown

*Ethan's point of view*

It's been three days since we've been shooting, and everyday I have to see Justin's stupid face, I mean what does he have that even fascinates Sophia so much. I'm much more better than him.

" What are you thinking of, you look worried and disgusted at the exact same time".

" I hate the fact that I have to see Justin's face every single time we're shooting, is he really this jobless".

" He obviously likes Sophia, so he's coming everyday to show her his support, if he continues like this he's definitely gonna get her heart, it's obvious he already has a soft spot in her heart".

" He's not handsome enough, not talented enough, not even romantic enough. So what is it about this moron that captivates her, I can never understand women".

" Is this jealousy I hear, weren't you the one who said you don't have feelings for her, why are you so against her relationship with Justin, as a friend you should support her choices".

" No, as a good friend Daven I should correct her when she's making a wrong decision, and this is clearly a wrong decision".

" Whatever you say Ethan, whatever you say".

I just rolled my eyes and went to the director, we were done shooting, and I feel so tired, it's been long I've felt this tired.

" Director, you asked to see me".

" Yes, apparently the raining season is here, we'll have to hurry up with the shoot, we can't have some casts and crew complain about their health now can we, I spoke to Sophia and she agreed to work overtime".

" Of course we can't take the risk of our casts and crew falling ill, I'll work overtime as well".

Here I am agreeing to this when I can feel myself drowning again, what's wrong with my health this time. I can't tell Daven, he's having a good break after so many years, I should let him enjoy that more.

" It's good that you agree to it, you're shooting an intense scene next, ready for it".

" Definitely, I'm always ready for my job".

I took one look at Sophia who was already dressed, with Carl by her side and she being invested in a conversation. I looked away, for some reason I didn't like the thought of her being so interested in someone else. The director called her, it's finally time to continue our shoot.

(Director- alright, action).

*Sophia's point of view*

I watched him go into the bathroom, and I decided to change into something more daring, and what's more daring than his shirt.

Checking his closet for the perfect one, green, no, blue, no, black, not the best fit for tonight, white, well, white is definitely a good choice. I took off my dress, good thing it's raining and I'm soaked, changing into his white long sleeved shirt and laying on his bed, let's see him get passed this.

*Ethan's point of view*

After asking me if I believe in destiny she's been awfully obsessed with me, following me everywhere and now I have no other choice but to shield her from the rain, why do I feel like I'm going to regret this decision, ugh. Taking my bath as fast as I can I hurriedly finished and rushed outside with a towel around my waist, and what I saw.....

*Sophia's point of view*

Laying on his bed, somewhat soaked in his shirt, waiting for him and then the bathroom door slowly opens, I could feel my body tense up and there he stood, right in front of me, with a towel wrapped around his waist, water dripping down his toned body and his award worthy abs, it was like I would drool, I could see him scan me as well.

" Get dressed properly, the rain might stop soon".

Jeez such a gentleman, trying to keep his composure. I got up and slowly walked up to him, with every step I took forward he drew his back. This continued until he hit a wall. I spoke to him in a low voice, almost like a whisper.

" No more running, face me".

I could feel his heart race, his breathing, everything showed he tried his best not to lose himself, and I enjoyed every bit of this.

" Do you find it funny, teasing me, playing with my emotions, why do you even do all this, for some fun or some validation".

" Not just for fun, but because I like you, how hard is it to understand that I want you. Just like we desire clothes and jewelries, people can also be desired, right".

" Get out of my face and stop talking shit, humans aren't to be toyed with, we're not objects that you can pick up and dump whenever you feel like, we have feelings, emotions, we can get hurt and broken, and if you don't understand that then you're just an empty can".

I slowly drew a line on his body with my fingers, from his chest, to his navel area and then back again, all while whispering into his ear

" Don't be a hypocrite, deep down I know you want to feel the joy of the chase, you want to know how far this will take us, you want to explore the unknown with me, to feel and to see every part of you that you never knew existed, but as usual, humans are cowards and hypocrites, always hiding their true feelings and passions, don't you think, my love".

(Director - alright, cut!)

I looked at Ethan and for a minute, I got lost in the beauty of his skin and perfectly shaped body, gosh he looks divine, there's nothing wrong with him, from his skin, to his body, and his height. Let's not even talk about his veiny arms, I am not your strongest soldier Ethan.

" What's wrong princess, you like what you see".

He bit his lip and I got flustered, I threw a pillow at him and we laughed at his naughty behavior.

*Ethan's point of view*

" Justin offered to take me out for dinner and I want to go with him, I just thought I should let you know".

It was like someone cut a string in my heart but I didn't let it show.

" Do you really think you can trust him, do you really think he's here for the long run?".

" He's a sweet guy, I think I can trust him, it's fine Ethan, just chill".

She seemed so sure so I didn't want to push further, the last thing I need is she moving away from me because I'm being too pushy.

" What can a guy do to earn your love?".

" Well the basis is food, good food, then money. Oh yes, there's love and care too".

We looked at each other for awhile before laughing like a maniac. Our shoot was done for the day and now it's time to go home, I watched Sophia leave with Carl before leaving with Daven. Arriving at home the sweet smell of Stephanie's cooking was the first thing that hit both Daven and I.

" Stephanie whatever you're cooking don't serve anyone until I get back okay, and that's a direct order".

I just rolled my eyes and went to my room while Daven kept on talking to Stephanie. I could feel my steps shake as I walked, my legs could no longer carry me, my head got heavier, and my eyes began to fall.

I could feel myself falling, scared I'd fall to the ground, but then I landed on someone's arms. I looked between blurred eyes, and I saw Yvonne's face, I couldn't hear what she was saying but I needed her to hear me.

" Yvonne... don't.... please don't tell Daven".
