His deep eyes were like two blue flames that pulled me more and more into the fire, he trapped me and managed to make me hear his sound with one look. Everything seemed to have frozen around us while I could only be caught in his attractive gaze, while I could only feel his forearm wrapped around my waist, his large hands grabbing my body and holding me, his chest pressed against mine while our faces were inches away from each other, and I could even feel the fresh breath emanating from him.

I sighed, forcing myself to come to my senses, and grabbed his arm, returning to my feet. “Be more careful, I’m glad I was behind you,” he said simply, and I swallowed, straightening my clothes.

“Um…” the film director cleared his throat before speaking. “You know how studios are, it’s normal to replace skeins from there thrown on the

floor.” He was laughing, embarrassed, and bending down and picking up the ball of yarn that had caused me to trip and almost fall.

Everyone on the team was still looking at Jason and me in amazement, as if they had just witnessed a romance scene worthy of the movies. I cleared my throat and shook my head. “It’s okay, your can take me to the set now, Mr. Quagmire,” I said to the filming director, who nodded and continued his work, showing us

a way.

Now Jason had his damn reason why he could stay behind me all the time. “Our marketing director could trip again and hurt herself badly, we don’t want any problems with Hextec, do we?” He said he was all satisfied now, as if someone had just offered him the job of being my bodyguard.

So he acted like that the whole day, wherever I went, he was behind

when his arm brushed against mine or when his woody breath inhaled my nostrils. Jason hadn’t changed that cologne since we got married; honestly, it was impossible to keep my mind from slipping into the past, reminding me of the moments when he and I were happy together, but I held back my feelings when I remembered that I was mistaken when I thought Jason loved me back then because he

never loved me.

I remembered his harsh words as if he had said them to me.

yesterday. “I never loved you, Laura. I only married you because my parents wanted me to get married and you were available, I never loved you.” So I let those words hit me again, and the pang of pain. flooded my heart, so I remembered that no matter how much Jason seemed different now, he would never be that charming prince that I

once thought he was.

When the workday was over, Jason walked me down to the parking lot and offered to take me home. Now it was just the two of us, so for the first time I could be direct with him. “No one else is around, Jason, you can go back to your normal self now,” I told him when he

offered to take me home.

“What do you mean by that?” He asked, looking slightly confused.

“It’s about this whole scene you’re doing, Jason. From the Charme restaurant to here, whatever you’re planning, you can go back to acting like what you are, no one is watching you here,” I replied, opening my arms to point to the building’s underground parking lot, which, apart from the cars, was deserted.

“But I’m not pretending, Laura. Don’t you believe I’ve changed? Can’t you believe that?” He even looked hurt.

“Did you change? What wrong did you do to change?” I questioned myself, running out of patience. I was tired of his games.
