Chapter 5 Episode 5

💞 TRACY 💞

My nervousness wells to the peak when my mind goes back to that woman with whom I had an issue with. I remember Jean saying she's close to Jake. What if she shows up in the middle or even before the shoot and stops it for what I did?

I always like to back out of things that have a chance of causing embarrassment for me.

But, I have already agreed on this and the pay is good, really good. I could use it for all the things I planned to do. I could travel out for the first time. Apart from the money, working for him already is a big deal.

Talk of the fame and opportunities that might open up if I put in my all.

About putting in my all, I'm still nervous as fuck. I thought hard and long but the disadvantages this time didn't try to talk me out.

I stop overthinking, then throw my nervousness and the shy part of me away for my bold and smart part. I throw Jake's bitch out of my mind then locked my it. I wouldn't care if she causes a scene and neither will I back out if she tries to ruin this for me but I will accept the consequences later. I just gotta do this.

"Tracy!" Karen's voice pierces through my thoughts and I get up.

A step into the room and a wave of warmth wash over me. I need not be told that he's in the room and he's looking at me.

"We've been waiting! Without wasting time. Camera test." The blonde-haired director says, and the crew goes to take their positions to get the camera rolling.

I let my eyes remain on them then for a start, I take a walk in front of the camera.

From the corners of my eyes, I see a makeup artist taking care of him but I can still feel those eyes I am yet to discover which color they are staring at me, undressing me, leaving me bare and instead of cold, I feel hot, my skin burns under his hot gaze.

I puff out air then flips my hair which is now a complete blonde back then looks around the room.

I can only see the crew members then Liam but not Karen. I guess they have a relationship besides work.

There's a clap sound then the lights go off to replace a red and blue light, giving the room a sensual atmosphere.

Shirtless, my eyes follow him as he gets up from the couch he once sat on to the one he will be taking in front of me.

His eyes don't leave me and I try to not let him see the effect they cause. The song drops in and I warm up by swaying my hips to the beat. The song is repeated and I rehearse my lines all over while letting the music consume me to get me ready and to set me in the mood.

I've already thoroughly been lectured so I know where to go from here.

So once I heard action, I didn't waste a moment. I try my best to be the sexiest I can in all my steps then I take the sexiest walk to him, rounding him as he sings then just as I was instructed, my hand hesitantly moves to caress his bare chest when a masculine hand grabs it.

"Cut!"

The superstar gets up to pour a drink then Liam and the director moves to him. They talk quietly and I wish I could hear. I hope I did nothing wrong.

Did I flop?

JAKE

I know what I want so I do anything to get it, anything. The ladies Selena brought are good but I just felt something was missing. I let Liam go for the recording tape so I can make my own selections. Not that I don't trust Selena's choices.

Then I saw her in that pure white lingerie that looked sinful on her. I knew from that moment that she's the one and when she came too, I wasn't mistaken. I let Liam make her wear the same white lingerie set and she came in, hair all wet. I think that was sexy. Glad that I found the perfect chic, I sat all relaxed and FaceTiming Selena when Liam came with the news that the girl rejected the offer on the basis that we dug out her past for my gain. I admit that is not right but not enough reason for her to drop out. I didn't want to lose her for anyone else for some unknown reasons so I went to her house. Fortunately, the door wasn't locked and she was fast asleep while her small television displayed a cartoon movie.

I found myself watching her sleeping form and I have no idea what is so about her that is captivating me. Time flew by quickly and I found myself wishing that it slowed down so I could watch more of her until I heard a scream and a loud thud. Getting up, I saw a lady laying on the floor looking half dead.

Wondering how she got in, I found myself in her tiny room and caught the window open. I suspected her to be a thief and did what I thought was best before going back to watch her sleep.

When I saw her stir, I quickly averted my eyes to my phone. Her shocked expression accompanied by her fall didn't surprise me. Who wouldn't be shocked seeing me in their home so early in the morning?

I managed to get her to work for me and here we are. She's everything I want except that, I feel tortured by her. And no matter how I tried, I can't stop looking anywhere else but her.

As usual, she avoids any eye contact with me once she gets in with those tempting super-thin satin wears and even when she starts to sway her wide hips to my song and the way her lips move as she sings along.

Fuck!

Even as I get taken care of by Jared, my eyes don't make the effort to stay away and I like how she tries to pretend as if she has no idea. I even like it more that she is not like the other bitches I hire who ends up trying to seduce me.

This girl, she wouldn't even look at me. Not even once.

All my life, people all over can't stop looking at me even if they try. Even Selena who has been with me before I hit puberty still looks at me as if it's the first time.

This girl is the first to not get moved by me or impressed by my riches perhaps and that amazes me, making me want to know more about who she is apart from once being a street dancer.

"That's enough color on my face Jared." I brush his hand off from my face to get on my feet and I hear his brush fall.

I signal to Liam to get things started. The lights go out and I take my shirt off of me then moves to take a seat in front of her.

I watch the song take her over and I just can't help thinking that she's building her confidence.

When the command for action to take place happened, I had to readjust myself in the seat as she take steps closer to me. I suddenly feel awkward, weird, and intimidated.

Where from that confidence and sexy packed movements?

I fought my eyes away from her tempting body and began to sing to the recording. I couldn't and it's required that I look at her anyway.

The thin fabric barely covering her lower part. Her stomach is left bare and the jacket fails to cover her flat tummy. To make it worse, it's left open, revealing her cleavage, the valley between her breasts. Her bare tonearms, straight legs.... she's close and though I am singing and acting, I see what she's doing. The next is her scent behind me, filling my nostrils and interfering with my senses that I feel my pants tightening around me then slender fingers sneak over my shoulders to touch my chest but I am fast enough to prevent it.

"Cut!"

What the fuck! I get up to pour myself a drink. I run my hands through my hair as I drink from the glass. It gets messy but my mind is messier.

What the fuck is going on?

What is this?

My mind is so fucked with her and I fucking have no idea.

Who's she? I turn to look at her but she fucking looks away immediately again.

"Man, you're alright?" The director asks.

"I am but get everyone out including yourself. I will call you when I am ready..."

"But Jake.." Liam tries to protest.

"Listen to me, Liam."

"Alright."

I sit on the couch when everyone leaves and pull my phone out to call Selena. She's the only one who can know how to make me feel better.
