Keep To The Script (Complete)

~ Chapter 24 ~

After several moments, his fingers ran through her hair and over her cheek as he gazed down at her. "Thank you," he whispered, and she tilted her head.

"For what?"

"For doing that. You didn't have to. I don't give pleasure so that I can have it returned, you know." Oh, she did. She kissed his six-pack before leaning over him so she could stare into his eyes.

"I know, Angel. And I didn't do it to return the favor. I did it because I wanted to. Because I wanted to bring you pleasure. And because I wanted to taste you so badly." He chuckled as he pushed her hair behind her head so he could see her fully.

"We might have to do that again." This time, she gave him an evil grin.

"Believe me, I'm going to do that a lot more in the future. I don't think I've ever tasted something so damn good. And usually, I don't swallow." That was a confession she had no intention of telling him, but the look in his eyes told her that it did a number on him. That he was happy to have heard it and she wouldn't regret uttering it at all.

"I suppose we should get up. I need to take you back, don't I?" She didn't want to leave this little haven they had, but the real world awaited them, and she did have to start packing.

"Yeah, I guess. I need to get stuff done." He sighed as he pulled her down to kiss her deeply, not minding the taste of himself.

"Same here. I think I rested enough," he told her, smacking her bottom through the sheet and making her yelp before she smiled.

"Don't start something you don't have time to finish, sir," she told him, getting out of bed to start getting dressed, laughing as she did so.

Of course, Judith knew that the next part of the film was coming. The couple in the book had booked a vacation out in the Caribbean to ease some tension and it was the only part of her story that was being filmed on location. She was excited to see the beaches, but not excited for the press that would be coming. And that was something the director told her needed to be done.

In order to hype up the movie a bit more, he was allowing just a few press people behind the scenes, and this was one of the few times it was happening. Which meant the two main actors were showing more skin than she liked. Okay, well, Angel was showing more skin, but she didn't have a choice. And of course, the photographers were going to be there, snapping it all up.

With a huff, she washed her clothes and thought about those scenes, that yes, he was hers, but she had to share. This was coming, and she knew it. In essence, it was another huge part of the story that couldn't be taken out. Of course, that didn't mean she had to like any part of it. She chuckled at that.

Maybe they would have a day or two to lounge together on the beach. She had a nice piece she could wear. Or, hell, she didn't have a horrible body, she could rock some kind of two-piece. She twisted her lip at that, wondering if she could be that brave or not. With a sigh, she grabbed the clothes and packed them away, making sure everything was decent in her apartment. The deal was for a couple of weeks there, but Judith could leave at any time. Though, given that Angel had to stay, she wasn't sure she would be leaving. Someone had to fight off the vultures.

She checked the time and zipped up her back. Angel would be there shortly to pick her up so they could head to the airport. At least, they had some time on the airplane together because she really didn't think there would be a lot in the next few weeks. Judith locked up the windows and was pulling the bag into the living room when someone knocked.

"Right on time," she muttered, smiling as she opened the door for Angel.

"I heard that, and yes, I am! You don't have to believe me about how my mother was, trust me." He pointed at her back. "Is this it?"

"Yup. I locked everything, so I'm good to go." He grabbed her bag and headed down to the car while she locked up. With a deep breath, she walked to the car, smiling at him as he closed the trunk. "Ready for this?"

"Sometimes, I think this is the best part of filming," he told her, opening her door for her. "I also did manage to get our rooms switched so we're right next door to each other. I believe there's even a connecting door there," he told her, wiggling his brows. She laughed as she took his hand.

"Not sure there will be a lot of time for anything. Did you see the work schedule?"

"I did. Some pretty intense times there. But usually, when it's like that, there are some good breaks too. It helps with the moral and everything." She figured that too, and since he had been in this business longer, she was going to trust him.

Forty minutes later, they finally made it through security and to the gate. She looked around, wondering if the cast were all planning on leaving at the same time or had other ideas. But she paused as she saw Molly sitting there, tears on her cheeks, and alone.

"What's wrong?" Judith asked her as she walked over, Angel behind her.

"I just broke up with my boyfriend," she muttered and for the life of her, Judith couldn't figure out why that message bothered her.
