Justin returned to the set of the movie and walked quickly over to Kilani, feeling Ryan Starkey’s heated gaze as she followed his every move. "It’s a wonder she isn’t licking her lips and drooling; I feel like a filet mignon," Justin muttered under his breath.
Kilani isn’t going to be much better, sighed Justin. She was trying to project a calm appearance, but was rather unsuccessful as evidenced by her tapping foot and flashing eyes. Justin flopped down into his chair and waited for Kilani’s onslaught of words.
"Well, are we ready to get back to work Mr. Romeo."
"Hey girl, what’s that for? I haven’t done anything to encourage that woman. Don’t jump all over me because she’s panting like a bitch in heat!" Justin said indignantly. "In fact, I’ve been trying my best to avoid her."
"Sorry, Jus. It’s just that she’s making me ill. I know you’re good-looking and sexy as hell but she is nauseating."
"Bear with it for a while, Kilani. She’s only got a bit part and hopefully she’ll be out of our hair soon."
"Can’t be soon enough for me," Kilani replied wrathfully.
Meowww. Women�?/FONT>thought Justin with amusement. That’s one of the reasons I love Bunny…she’s above this type of juvenile behavior. She’s classy, besides being extremely intelligent.
For her part, Kilani couldn’t understand the strength of her reaction to Ryan Starkey. It wasn’t as though she were in love with Justin - she loved Simon. It was just that any female of Ryan’s type brought out the worst in her. That type was so, well, trashy! And, Kilani had to be truthful, watching Ryan stung because she could see her own behavior in regard to Simon and she didn’t like to think that she had acted so foolishly. Kilani resolved to act more maturely where Simon was concerned. She truly loved him and wanted to make him happy. I am going to sever ties with Herman Krause; I’ll tell him I’ve had enough. I don’t want to play his game any longer. If I’m not careful I’m going to lose the man I love. I have to find a way to convince Simon that I’m the woman for him.
The director’s call that shooting was about to resume dragged Kilani back to the moment. Getting to her feet she commented to Justin, "OK Jus, let’s get this over with so little Miss Starkey can crawl back under whatever rock she crawled from beneath."
Justin rose, trying to keep his sigh of exasperation from being heard. He would be SO happy when this was over. Women!
