“I guess I’ll have to take you out again then,” Javon said as they parted. His words echoed in Ashlyn’s mind as she hoofed it back to her room. Would she do it if they went out again? She wasn’t sure, but she did know that her mind could not take any more heavy-thinking right now. She needed to figure things out.
The next day, Ashlyn was up and ready early. She couldn’t wait to get on set and see Javon again. She wondered if the new day would give her a new perspective on things. She might think her desire from the night before to be overrated or she might regret not taking the opportunity when she had it.
“You are very chipper to have been out so late,” Pamela said as they shuffled around before breakfast.
“I wasn’t out that late,” Ashlyn said. “You just went to bed super early.” In truth, she had gotten back about nine thirty, not late at all for her usual. Ashlyn couldn’t even devote part of her mind to thinking about what Pamela might think. She was too busy thinking about Javon. Ashlyn dressed up a little more than she usually would to film in the forest, but she wanted to make Javon have that same reaction to her this morning as he had had the night before.
When Ashlyn arrived at the forest with the crew, they were busy setting up their materials. They wanted to take full advantage of the light, so it was only six o’clock by the time they finished setting up. Ashlyn felt tired, and now she knew that sleeping in her own room had been a good decision the night before.
Ashlyn spotted Javon. He was talking to another extra, a male. Ashlyn waited for Javon to look her direction, and when he did, she smiled at him. Javon bit his lower lip and looked her over approvingly. Ashlyn couldn’t help but feel the desire building up in her belly.
She scolded herself. Now was a time to focus on filming, not on the attractive extras. She took her place and adjusted her camera just so. She always moved into a different world when she was filming, but today, that world seemed to evade her. Ashlyn could barely focus on starting and stopping the filming at the correct times.
At their first break, Javon made a beeline for her, and Ashlyn fidgeted with something so that her watching him was not too obvious. Javon reached her and pulled her a little closer to him. He grabbed her hand and manipulated it to his chest. Ashlyn seemed to freeze just as she had the night before. His lips came right next to her ear.
“Ashlyn, it is so hard to focus with you here. Maybe I should be the one asking you to leave. When I saw you in those jeans today, mm, I just want to grab your ass in my hand and pull you toward me.”
Ashlyn felt her underwear becoming wet as Javon’s low voice filled her ear. “Please don’t make me wait any longer. I don’t know if I can.” Javon’s tongue then flicked in and out of Ashlyn’s ear sending shivers down her body. She fought herself to pull away. She couldn’t do this right now. She was working, and when he was that close, saying things like that to her, it made her unable to think.
She took a deep breath as she looked Javon over. She still had a lot of desire to take his clothes off, and she just might. Fantasies began to play through Ashlyn’s head. She imagined just what it would be like to be in a bedroom alone with him.
Ashlyn snapped out of it as the cameramen began scurrying back to their positions. She had a job to do. Ashlyn looked around to see where Javon was. She found that he was done already. He was off to the side, talking to another one of the extras. But this extra was a girl. Ashlyn’s stomach knotted up. Surely the girl had started the conversation. Javon was interested in Ashlyn. Still, if that girl was trying to get Javon into bed, it might be easier than it should be. Ashlyn couldn’t do anything to stop her either. She was working, and she couldn’t leave her post. Ashlyn took another deep breath as she tried to steady herself.
She adjusted her camera on its stand, but it didn’t quite seem right. She didn’t hear the clicking noise, but it was time to film. There was no time to fidget with it and try to figure out what had gone wrong.
The scene started, and Ashlyn took a wide shot of the characters talking. This was a boring scene, and they didn’t move around a lot. She didn’t really need to be looking at her camera a lot. Ashlyn peeked up to see what Javon was doing. He appeared occupied talking to this girl, but Ashlyn couldn’t see his face. Was he laughing? Was she funny? Did he think she was sexy too?
Ashlyn focused back on her camera. She didn’t even need to zoom in or anything. Her camera could basically maintain itself. She peeked up again, and Javon was not with the girl anymore. Ashlyn frantically looked around. Where had he gone?
She suddenly felt someone right behind her, and Ashlyn jumped away in surprise.
She banged into her camera, and it tumbled off the stand onto the ground. Ashlyn stared down at it in horror.
Chapter Five
Ashlyn looked around to see if anyone had noticed. Everyone was looking at the camera on the ground. Ashlyn hurried toward it to scoop it up and evaluate its injuries. Maybe it wasn’t so bad. Ashlyn knew that cameras like this were worth thousands of dollars, and she didn’t have that kind of money. Ashlyn kept trying to assure herself that it might not really be so bad. She just needed to look it over. It still seemed to be in one piece, and it had landed on a bed of pine needles.
Gary was already coming over toward Ashlyn, and his face was red with anger. Ashlyn backed away, leaving the camera where it was.
“Get out of my sight!” Gary sputtered, getting two other cameramen to carefully lift the camera onto a table to assess its damage. Ashlyn stopped for a moment. This didn’t mean she was fired. Did it? No, she wasn’t fired.
Ashlyn backed away, and she bumped right into Javon. He had seen the whole thing. He had caused the whole thing. He must have been what had startled her into jumping. Ashlyn suddenly felt angry. It was his fault! If she lost her job over him, she was not going to be happy!
All of those fluffy, fun feelings from the morning were gone as she turned on him in the full force of her anger. “I can’t believe you did that!” she shouted, her anger pouring out of her. “If you hadn’t startled me, then the camera wouldn’t have fallen!”
Javon shook his head and crossed his arms. “It was cute yesterday. It isn’t cute today.”
“What? Are you even having the same conversation as me? What were you even doing close to where I was filming?”
“I wanted to watch you, just so you know,” Javon said. “I didn’t know that was a crime. You said not to make any noise yesterday, so I didn’t. I guess nothing is right for you.”
Javon wasn’t shouting, but his tone was condescending which was enough to annoy Ashlyn. She wanted him to feel bad or apologize or tell Gary that it was his fault. If Ashlyn lost her job, that would stamp her resume. If Gary lost his part as an extra, no one would care.
“No, it’s not that. But you shouldn’t even be here. I thought our deal meant that you would leave me alone every single day of filming. I didn’t know we had to go on a daily date to pay off my debts.” Ashlyn crossed her arms, her voice becoming sarcastic.
“I never said that,” Javon said, his beefy arms crossed as well. “Don’t put words in my mouth.”
“Fine, maybe I’ll stuff them up your asshole,” Ashlyn replied. “That’s about where they belong.” She shook her head in disgust. “Are you trying to make me lose my job?”
