AFTER A FULL DAY OF TAPING, we finally wrap up. I couldn’t get Giovanna’s attention all day, but I plan to talk to her before dinner.
“We’ll see you over at The Pub?” Dan asks.
“Yep. I’ll be there after I shower and change.”
“I’m heading out now, if you want to come,” Yasmin offers.
“That’s okay.”
“Why are you sticking around here?” she asks.
“You know I like to sit on set alone every day. I didn’t get that chance today. Can I have fifteen fucking minutes to myself?”
“You don’t have to be rude.” She stomps off, and Dan just shakes his head.
“See you over there,” he says.
“Bye.”
I sit and wait, knowing she’ll come up as soon as she knows it’s quiet. Five minutes later, she appears, stopping when she sees me.
“Why are you still here?” she asks.
“I wanted to see you.”
She sighs. “Why?”
“You avoided me today.”
“Yeah.”
“I missed you.”
“You’re too much.” She tucks her hair behind her ears. I really like when she does that. “I didn’t want to distract you, and I had work to do.”
“Your absence was distracting.”
She smiles in spite of herself. “How did it go?”
“Good.” I stand and walk toward her, noticing her breath catch. “Did you sleep well last night?”
“Good enough.”
“Not me. I couldn’t stop thinking about this gorgeous woman I met.”
“No?”
“Nope. You should see her. She has these big, honey colored eyes and jet black hair that hangs down her back. When she smiles, which isn’t often enough, the whole sky lights up.”
She crosses her arms. “Where do you get this stuff?”
I tap my temple. “It’s all up here, Beautiful.”
“I think it’s a game. I’m just another conquest for you.”
“Giovanna,” I reach out and touch her face softly. “You are far more than that.”
“Whatever. You don’t even know me.”
“Does anyone?”
“No.”
“Just how you like it. That’s why you won’t spend time with me. You know I’ll get inside. I’ll break you down.”
“You won’t.”
“Then go out with me.”
“No.”
I pull her close, safe in the knowledge that no one can see us in here. She doesn’t resist, and that makes me smile. “I won’t give up.”
“I won’t give in.”
“Yeah you will.” I brush my fingers over her cheek. “Know why?”
“Why?”
“I’m the most exciting thing that’s happened to you in a long time. You think I can’t feel your attraction to me? It’s not one sided, Giovanna. I know it’s not. Six weeks is a long time to avoid me. Especially in a town like this.”
She stiffens in my arms. “Let me go.”
“Kiss me,” I say, softly.
Her eyes dart outside. “Someone is going to see us.”
“It’s dark. We’re safe.” I run my hand up her neck and into her hair. “Kiss me.”
“You have to stop doing this,” she whispers.
“Is that really what you want?” I gaze into her eyes. “Tell me, Beautiful. Do you want me to let you go?”
Her silence is all I needed. I kiss her, deeply, pulling her closer. She holds on to me, returning my passion. I know she fucking wants me. Why won’t she give in and admit it?
The longer we kiss, the more turned on I get. I let my hands roam, and she doesn’t stop me until I inch my way under her sweater, getting just a taste of her warm skin. She pulls away, breathless.
“We can’t.”
“We can. We can do anything we want.”
“I can’t do this, Antonio.”
“Why not? When is the last time a kiss made you feel this good? For me, it’s not every day.” She shakes her head, so I continue. “Why are you fighting this so much? It’s obvious we’re into each other. Give in to me.”
“I wish I could.”
“Who’s stopping you?” I walk toward her again and reach for her hand, happy when she offers it. “Giovanna, you’re doing something to me. I want you so fucking bad I can barely think.”
She rubs her forehead. “I need some time, please.”
I nod my head. She’s not ready yet. I need to respect that. I just have to keep trying.
“I’ll go now,” I say, releasing her hand. “Remember what I said. There’s something here. Something both of us need. I’m not giving up until you say yes.”
Her expression is neutral as she folds her arms. “Goodnight, Antonio.”
“Goodnight, Beautiful.”
I walk out of the store with a smile on my face, a rock hard cock, and hope that I’m gonna get the girl.
