He pressed his soft lips against mine. I melted into his side enjoying the feel of his lips on mine, on me anywhere. Kissing him always felt like the first time. The same butterfly-inducing, schoolgirl giggling feelings all filtered into my blood
When he pulled away his eyes danced across my face and all my worries and nerves melted away.
“We’re doing this?”
“We’re doing this.”
I didn’t know where this adventure was going to take us but I knew that as long as he was by my side then I had nothing to fear. We would tackle whatever was ahead when it came.
After a few more minutes of packing, we ambled into his Range Rover and made our way to the airport. I was fully expecting us to take a commercial flight so when I saw him take a turn to a gate that led directly to the tarmac, I was confused.
“Where are we going?”
He glanced my way, one side of his lips tilting upward into a devilish smirk. “To the plane.”
“But don’t we have to check in first?”
“No.”
We pulled up to a large jet with wait staff waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
“Damon?”
He merely winked at me and got out of the car. He rounded the vehicle and opened the door for me. I was still in complete
shock.
“Seeing as you’re going to achieve a career milestone I thought it would be nice if we traveled in style.”
“So you rented a jet?”
“Bought one actually.” He said it so casually like it didn’t even mean anything to him. “Now come on. It’s almost one in the morning and I know how you get when you don’t get enough sleep.”
I was still in shock so when I didn’t react as quickly as he wanted me to, he pulled me into his arms making me squeal.
I wound my arms around his neck and gazed into his eyes. “You really bought yourself a jet?”
“No.” My tense shoulders relaxed a bit. “I bought us a jet.”
“Damon!”
He threw his head back laughing at my words and kissed the top of my head trying to distract me I was sure. “Let’s get you to LA, baby,”
Sometimes I had to remind myself just how rich my husband was. To me, he seemed so normal, almost ordinary as we lived our day-to-day lives. But it was in moments like these that I was reminded of just how extraordinary he was.
The flight to LA was short but mostly because I had somehow managed to take a quick nap on the way there. Much to my husband’s dismay, he wanted us to join the mile-high club. When we landed there was a driver waiting for us on the tarmac that took us to our hotel.
I thought that I would be a bundle of nerves but the next morning I woke feeling calm and excited. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
I brushed my hair in the bathroom of our suite feeling all the excitement of the first day of school.
Damon walked out of the steaming hot shower, the mist trailing behind him as he picked up his towel and walked up behind me. He curled his arms around my waist and pulled me flush against his body. I leaned into his hold, relishing in the warmth he was currently radiating.
“You’re going to do amazing today.” He kissed my cheek before placing his chin on my shoulder.
“I need to see if it’s something I’m going to want to take on first. What if it’s a crap pitch and they just want to put me there because of my name or rather your name?” I placed my hands on top of his, meeting his gaze in the mirror.
Even as I looked at my reflection I could see the way my eyes came to life. There was a twinkle of excitement and anticipation there.
It was no secret that having the last name Steyn carried a lot of weight not to mention my maiden name too. I was aware that opportunities now would come to me far more frequently. But I wanted to earn these jobs. I felt like with the last movie I did I had earned it. I had toiled away for years mastering my craft and now it was my time.
Being in Hollywood was THE dream of anyone in the movie industry. This was where your dreams were made or broken.
“Brandon set up this meeting because he knows what a wonderful director you are.”
He kissed the top of my head.
