Chapter Seven

Meg closed the door on the little villa that had become her home. Leaning on the door, she let out a frustrated breath. She couldn’t believe Peter had kissed her, and out of the blue like that. What was he thinking? Her brother would watch the show. Her dad might even see it. Her cheeks warmed. Maybe he would refuse to watch, which would probably be for the best.

She gathered the energy to walk across the room and tossed her wrap and room key on the sofa, a gaudy thing upholstered in yellow-and-green palm-tree fabric. She removed the heavy hoop earrings the wardrobe department had given her and kicked off her heels.

After everything Peter had said on the beach, she should probably give him a chance, but most of the date had felt forced. She hadn’t imagined she could feel a connection to him, yet somehow, he’d known exactly what she’d needed to hear in that moment.

Despite the kind things he’d said, she still sensed he’d kissed her so that he could beat the other two guys to it.

Who knew? Maybe Elliot had told him to kiss her. The thought made her breath catch in her lungs. Would Elliot stoop that low? She wanted to trust him, but she’d learned firsthand how the entertainment industry worked. It was all about money, ego, and success.

Thankfully, the interview after the date had been short. Carla made her stand outside in the moonlight and recount every moment of the awkward encounter. When they showed the kiss on television, they would probably add some slow music and edit it to look romantic. But even after his kind words, the moment was far from romantic. It was strange being kissed unexpectedly while people filmed her every move.

Someone knocked at the door, and she froze. Surely it wasn’t Peter? Maybe he’d come back without the camera. If that were the case, he was coming on way too strong. Sending him away would be uncomfortable but necessary.

She opened the door, and instead of Peter, she found Elliot standing in front of her.

She peered behind him for Carla or a cameraman. “Are you by yourself?” It seemed that every time she turned around, a camera appeared.

“It’s just me.” He gave her a smile that made it hard for her to stay mad at him about the fishing disaster.

She relaxed. “Come in.”

He followed her inside. “You’re still wearing your mic. I told the sound guy that I’d come get it from you.”

“Oh.” She felt for the little box hidden on the back of her dress. Carla had told her she’d forget about the cameras and the microphones, and Meg hadn’t believed her. “It must be pretty important if the producer came to get it,” she joked.

“This job has its perks,” he said with a glint in his eye.

She bit her lip to keep from smiling. The flirting and making Meg comfortable around him was probably part of his role as a producer. Unfortunately, he was good at it. Too good.
