LOGIN"Why can't I stay with you. mommy? I miss you," Kevin pleaded.
She hugged him tighter, "Oh I miss you too, baby, it's just that ... I have work to do ... I'll be back tomorrow, okay? We'll go to the playground and we'll have some ice cream." She was holding back her tears.
Kevin was in the verge of crying, he was pouting. "Will you stay and tuck me in bed?"
"Of course, honey, let's get you to bed." She kissed her forehead and carried him to his bed.
She went home with a heavy heart, like so many times before. She didn't like to leave him for too long, much too often. But she prefered it that way, she kept him away from the cottage as much as possible. Especially when her client specifically demanded privacy from young children. Kevin would have to stay with grandma for much longer.
She was just about to take off her clothes to shower when the intercom beeped. She pressed the button, "This is Sandy."
"Hi, Sandy, sorry to bother you so late," John said at the other end.
"Oh, it's fine, I wasn't sleeping or anything, is there something I can do for you?"
He didn't reply immediately, "I kinda need a favor ... I sprained my wrist this morning ... it's a stupid accident, actually, I was training."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, are you okay?"
John laughed lightly, "It's just a little sprain, really, I'm okay ... nothing serious, it's just that ... my staff ... umm ... can I come over and explain it to you? I feel weird talking to the intercom."
She giggled off the intercom, "Sure, I'll be right down."
"Great, okay ... see you."
He came over with his left wrist fully bandaged. He waved it and cringed from the pain.
"Oh ... that looks terrible," Sandy sympathized and let him in.
"Yeah ... they X-Ray it this afternoon and it's fine ... just a mild fracture, might need a few weeks to heal ... it's just that ... my staff insisted that I need a nurse to come over and treat it until it's safe to take off the bandage," he laughed at the thought. "I told them it's ridiculous, I can change my own bandage," he threw his right hand like it was a no brainer. Sandy kept listening.
"Well ... as it turned out ... I couldn't do it myself, and now I'm bothering you to help me out with this thing," he grinned looking embarrassed.
Sandy laughed, "Sure ... I'll help you change it, no problem, please come in."
"Yeah ... and it's kinda a two times a day thing ... I mean, I know I'll be able to do this myself after a few times, right? It's just that, I'm left handed and it's a bit tricky with this hook here," he tried to show her the complexity of the bandage.
"No worries, I'll help you out ... I'm sure you'll be able to do it yourself later ... here, sit down, let me see it, do you have the kit with you?" She pulled up her dining chair in her kitchen and let him sit.
John took out the kit he brought home from the hospital. She sat across from him on the edge of the dining table and began to take off the bandage. "It's a good thing you haven't started shooting," she said.
"Yeah, this might change our schedule a little bit ... a minor set back, but that's okay, it happens a lot."
Sandy smiled, she was happy to hear about a setback, it just meant that they will extend his stay at her cottage. She offered him some coffee, he accepted in delight. He had been craving for a hot coffee all day. They ended up talking over coffee.
He complained that he wasn't allowed to ride his motorbike until he was healed. He had enjoyed his stroll on the first day and thought that there were so many places he wanted to see. "Were you born on this island?" he asked.
"No ... I moved from the city about five years ago."
"Oh ... well, I can see why, it's a beautiful island."
"It's peaceful here, I'm not a city girl, I don't like over crowded places ... here, even though it's always packed with tourists in some places, the rest feels like home ... everyone's on vacation here, so you can feel the ease, the vibe is always relaxed, a lot of celebrities come here for holidays but the people here are not as nosy as city people ... they won't bother you for pictures or autographs as much as you would be in big cities," she explained.
John listened intently and nodded, "I can't wait to get back on my bike ... I can't go a day without riding my bike ... maybe you'd take me to the best places on the island ... when I'm better?"
"Sure ... there are lots of places you can go, the best places are actually kind of far in the suburban area, the beaches there are perfect ... quiet, no one around, it's the best."
She couldn't help but admire how relax he made her feel. It's unusual for her to be in the present of a celebrity yet she didn't feel intimidated in any way. He was as humble as they come. There was some sadness in his expression that she captured every now and then. He seemed like a nice enough guy that she can talk to for hours. He would closed up when it came to certain topic that touched a soft spot. He reminded her of herself.
They ended up talking for almost two hours before he realized he might have overstayed his welcome, so he went back to his cottage and asked her to help him with the bandage again the next day.
She watched him sleep as the sunlight crept upon his skin. How much this man had changed her life, and how much she was going to miss him. She gathered herself, she swore she was going to keep it together for just a few more hours. She slowly got out of bed, put on her clothes, the last thing she wanted was to wake him up.She took a pen and paper, "No farewell ... Love: Sandy" and put it on the pillow next to him. She climbed down the stairs and saw the suitcases, they were saying goodbye to her. She walked out the door to her cottage. She changed her clothes, packed up a few things in her backpack and left.He woke up from the piercing sunlight upon his face. He jolted out of bed when he felt she wasn't next to him. Then he saw the note, he crumpled it in his hand, "Goddamn it, Sandy!" he cursed. He put on his pants and ran downstairs, he called out her name but no answer. He ran across the lawn to her cottage, called out her name, nothing."Fuck!!" he hit the
They held it together as best they can. Two weeks gone by like a blink of an eye. Neither one of them was their usual happy self. He held her hand everywhere they went, and kissed it every now and again. Those who knew him can see how terrified he was as the last day of shooting was approaching.The team had arranged a big farewell party at a fancy beach club. They were suppose to fly out the next day. They'd even arranged some staff to pack up all John's stuff at the cottage so he didn't have to.She dressed up for the occasion, he held his breath when he saw her. His fans cheered and asked for pictures. Camera flashed everywhere. The scene was distasteful for Sandy, she was about to go through one of the hardest night in her life. The music was loud, happy faces all around. They were glad for a job well done, and she was about to drop herself in the mix and poison them with her gloom."I can't do this, John," he tugged his jacket."What? What do you mea
She dropped Kevin back to her mother's house. On the way to John's set, she stopped at La Lune. It's been two weeks and she hadn't heard from Lucas. She wanted to know how he was doing.The place was full as usual. The minute his staff saw her coming, they informed Lucas immediately. She was escorted to his office.They hugged for some time, it was an embrace they didn't have when they last saw each other. "How are you, Sandy?" his voice gentle as ever."I'm okay, how are you?""As well as I can be," he smiled.Theysat across from each other, his gaze fell on her for a moment, a deep and longing stare that said a million things. He told her, he was leaving for Greece. He had decided to take a long vacation. He had rented a house there for 6 months and have made arrangements with his team to takecare of business while he's away.They didn't mention anything about that night, the only way to make it work was to pretend that it neve
Lucas took her clothes and left her to finish up in the bathroom. By the time she was done, he was gone. Patrick's body was gone. He had told her to leave as soon as she was ready, he said he will take care of everything.All the other details, she didn't have to know. She tried to put back all the stuff in its place before she left. She wanted to call him so bad but she didn't, she went straight to her cottage and spent a sleepless night alone.**********John started a new shooting day the next day. He was excited to go back to the cottage afterwards. Just before the day was wrapped, there was a fuss among the crew who where watching the TV. Sonya called John over, "The guy who broke in to the cottage ... his name was Patrick Evans, wasn't it?" she whispered to him."Yeah, why?""The local news said they found him at the bottom of a cliff, he fell in his motorbike and died," she explained.
He had to comply. She had the lock and key when it comes to conversations about their relationship. Once she had put the lock in, she threw away the key and he had to comply. One more month, he thought, four more weeks of chances, so he let it go for the time being.He took her back to Andrea's place after the getaway. Andrea was still away on her business trip. She was going to pack up her things and arrange to go back to her cottage the next day. He had to meet up with his director and go over some script for the next shoot. So he left her there by herself. No more bodyguards, no more rules, things were about to go back to normal.Lucas had been calling her since the getaway, she avoided his calls. He kept calling and she finally took the call when she had settled in.Lucas: Sandy, why didn't you answer my calls?Sandy: I was with John ... what is it? What's wrong?Lucas : Where are you now? John's not with you?Sandy: No, he left ha
He rented a secret beach for their getaway. Just the two of them, by the pristine beach in the suburbs. He had people set up a glam tent, away from the tide but right on the edge. It was decorated with Christmas lights. The tent was stocked up with wine and a long table of food and deserts. Everything was white right in the middle was a round king size bed.She kept her promise, they even skipped dinner. She let him have her any way he wanted. He was prepared, he wanted her to have the best time she had ever had. John was a pleaser, there's a certain satisfaction for him to please his woman on the bed. Letting him do whatever he wanted with her would be the best sex she will ever have in her life.She didn't know how special she was for him. He had touched every inch of her body with his hands and tongue just to find out all her spots, where he can squeeze the most pleasure out of her. By then, he had found them all. He would watch her face as he did things to her, and
