every fucking day.”
    “We have six nights left,” I remind him.
    “Then I’m fucking filming it.”
    “Yes sir,” I grin. “If you let me out of the shower… I do have to moisturize. My. Entire. Body.”
    “Turn it off,” and then he vanishes into the bedroom.
    It’s nice knowing just my body and movements have this effect on him.

    I shovel a bite of pancake into my mouth. It’s time to tell Marie about the plan Beth and I are setting in motion tonight. “So…” I clear my throat, praying she won’t take my remaining six nights away but understanding if she does. Shit. What if she doesn’t want to see me anymore? I should have said no but my agent thinks this is a good idea to get promo for the movie. “I need to tell you something.”
    She looks up from her phone, “Is it good news or bad news?”
    Good question, “Depends on the person who’s about to receive said news. Depends what their reaction is.”
    She nods, places her phone on the bar be tween us and leans forward on her forearms. Her ass sticks out a little, it’s distracting. “Out with it then.”
    “Me and Beth, we’ve been asked to do something.”
    “Yeah?” she blinks and pops a piece of orange into her mouth. Her luscious lips glisten with its tangy juice. Fuck. Okay, head in the game Jacob.
    “Right, well, to promote the movie we’re about to film, they think it would be a good idea if the world were to believe that Beth and I are dating.” I prepare for a bad reaction.
    She looks thoughtful for a moment before responding, “You honestly think that’s a good idea?”
    Shit. Here it comes.
    “I mean, how are you going to, ‘break it off’ at the end? What if you get portrayed as the bad guy?” Or not.
    Huh, I never thought of that.
    “What if she plays it off for more attention?”
    Never thought of that either.
    “What if you get caught screwing another woman? That would look really bad for you.”
    Also an excellent point.
    Then she shrugs, “I can understand both sides, but she’s famous, maybe even more so than you. You got a bunch of teen girls that worship the both of you. When you break up it’ll affect them, I know this shit because I cried my eyes out when The Spicegirls split up. It broke my heart. Then we all looked for someone to blame.” She spins her phone under her finger. “You need to really think about it, maybe get it in writing that there will be no foul play on either side.”
    Fucking brilliant.
    “But like I said, it’s up to you Jake,” she smiles sweetly at me and makes her way around the bar. “It’s your career and your life. We’re friends, I’ve got your back whatever you decide.” Then she cups my face with her hands and places her tangy, sweet lips against mine. Followed by her kissing my forehead and stepping out of the kitchen.
    That went well. A little too well.
     
    I follow Marie’s advice and message my agent.
     
    Jacob : If I’m gonna do this shit, I want it in writing that it’ll go smooth.
     
    Kerry : No problem. I was thinking the same thing.
     
    “Babe?” I call when Marie’s phone starts vibrating. “Phone’s ringing.”
    “Answer it then,” she calls back, she’s definitely on the toilet.
    The number is anonymous, I answer it, “Hello?”
    “ Put Marie on,” it’s a man’s voice. My body gets tight, especially at his tone.
    “ She’s not available right now.”
    “ She will be. Put her on.”
    “ Not gonna do that.”
    I hear him slowly let out a n annoyed breath, “Look buddy, tell Marie to come to the phone.”
    “I would but I don’t have a name. So no, I’m not doing Jack shit.”
    “Christ. How many days?”
    “What?”
    “How many times you fucked her?”
    If he were here right now, he’d be missing his teeth something bad. “ Look here asshole…”
     
    The phone leaves my hand, I spin to face Marie who now has the phone pressed against her ear, “Hey Kev.” Kev? “No, that’s my friend Jacob.” She pauses
