Chapter 16

Lane

The morning after I was with Dillon, he left for seven days. They were shooting action scenes in the desert. He’d made me feel things physically that I’d never experienced with another person, and then he’d gotten up at five a.m., kissed me good-bye, and left. He’d been gone for nearly a week and was meant to get back tonight. My stomach flipped with the idea that soon I would see him. Soon he would kiss me again, touch me again, make me feel so many amazing things in my body. His touch—I shivered with the thought of his fingertips over my skin. I licked my lips and the anticipation of being in his arms caused desire to curl between my legs.

I’d spent the last seven days trying to keep thoughts of Dillon from taking up every minute of every day. We texted. We Skyped. We talked on the phone. But I still felt an uncertain shyness with him.

I parked my Jeep at the bottom of Runyon Canyon and climbed out with the boys. The best way not to miss Dillon and to try to forget his absence was for me to stay busy. I set a fast pace as the five of us passed through the gates and started the ascent to the top of Runyon. Scorsese and Spielberg bounded around me, seeming excited by my energy. Bernie looked at me like “are you serious?” I smiled. Bernie would do Runyon, but he liked a leisurely pace that included pauses to sniff and pee and breathe. Today I didn’t want pauses, I didn’t want breaks, I didn’t want to think too much. I wanted to sweat and suck in oxygen. I wanted to think of nothing but trying to conquer this hill. There were so many thoughts crashing through my mind. The main thought was Dillon, and where I fit in Dillon’s future?

In a very short time Dillon would have everything. He would be the hottest celebrity in the world, and I knew enough to know what that level of fame would mean for him. Mission Ranger was tracking huge and the studio anticipated the film to be the biggest of the summer. Soon Dillon wouldn’t be just a gorgeous face attached to a gorgeous chest with a giant package decorating a billboard above Chateau Marmont. Dillon would be the hottest commodity in Hollywood. Women would be throwing themselves at him, and I just couldn’t believe that he would want to be with someone like me.

“Hey Lane!”

I recognized the voice. I turned back but kept my pace. Taylor sped up his run until he was beside me and the boys.

“Hi Taylor,” I gasped out. I stopped and turned to him. I sucked in giant lungfuls of air.

“Trying to work up a sweat today,” Taylor said.

Kong hopped up on his back legs and placed his front paws on Taylor’s shins.

“Hey buddy,” Taylor said and bent over to give Kong a pat.

Bernie ambled over and licked Taylor on the side
