Chapter Twelve
Maya
It was like being in dreamland, lounging side by side on lounge chairs that were nearly right together. So close we could almost feel each other’s breath against our skin. We were really talking. Comparing summers and then moving onto our more grown up lives. I told him about how I got into the movie industry and he told me how he ended up as a bodyguard after years as a Navy SEAL. It amazed me that we had both fulfilled dreams we had since we were young. We both had awesome parents who supported us but made us finish college before we reached for our dreams.
“Did you learn anything in school that prepared you for stardom?”
“I learned to be humble and to be prepared when your understudy goes out of her way to make you sick so she can step in. Food poison.”
“You think maybe she’s the one behind the notes?”
I laughed. “No. She’s somewhere in the Midwest with three brats calling her mom. That’s a whole other story. What about you and your course study?”
“Definitely not. The only thing that helped was hours spent in the pool. Had I studied psychology that might have been beneficial to me. History as a major only gave me a lot to talk about, not that anyone wanted to listen to me sound like a school teacher.”
“I don’t know. I quite like listening to you.”
And looking at you.
And touching you.
And fantasizing about you.
And not wanting to be without you.
I never wanted the day to end and I really wanted to skip that evening’s dinner altogether, but it was important and my last scheduled event. Too soon I would be saying goodbye to Logan and heading back to work on another movie playing the super hero. I wasn’t the main story but I was working with other heroes to save the world in some way. It struck me funny—strange, not humorous—as I sat next to a true hero who protected not only me but our country.
It made me sad to know that I would have to give him up so he could protect another person in need…
What if I still needed him?
Who was going to look after me once I left the desert?
We still hadn’t learned much about my crazy fan nor had I received any more deliveries. It could’ve been Logan—always at my side—that was keeping him away from me.
What happened when I didn’t have Logan protecting me anymore?
I hated to think about that.
“Hey! Are you ready? I think our food is coming.”
I followed the wave of his hand and sure enough a man was nearing with a loaded tray.
I was so excited to finally taste my club sandwich and fries. The special cocktail had already fulfilled one of my desires. I nearly applauded the man delivering the tray with a few metal covered dishes. Sitting up, I moved back on my lounge chair to give him room, then I signed the bill and waited for Logan to lift the lids.
Oh my God! His tacos looked incredible.
