I had never been in this situation before. Yes, I am a grown man. And yes, I have kissed girls. I’m not that gone. It’s just I’ve never felt this passionate about anyone before.
She is my co-worker. You may know of her. Half of the world knows Natalie Portman. But only I know the girl under the glamour. Even her close friends don’t know her the way I do. They don’t love her the way I do. They really don’t.
There. I have at least now admitted it to myself. I love Natalie. I love my trusted friend and co-worker. I love the person who I will star in Star Wars with. I love the woman underneath the make-up and Emmy and Oscar awards dresses. I love the woman who is the real Natalie Portman.
*******
He looked so cute. I love taking shots of this scene.
“I truly, deeply love you. And before we die- I wanted you to know.”
I felt his lips softly caress mine. Sometimes I go places I shouldn’t. Sometimes I wish he could kiss me in real life. I wonder what it would be like to be trapped in his embrace and have his lips crushing against mine.
“That’s a wrap.”
I am so thankful that this day is over with. I can now go home and take a shower, a cold one. I desperately need one. I need to forget what Hayden’s lips feel like against mine. I need to forget what it feels like to be in his arms.
I guess that would most likely be the main problem. I don’t want to forget. I want to savor the feel in my dreams so that he will always be there with me, while I am awake as well when I am asleep.
I walk to my car where I see Hayden waiting for me.
“Hayden, hi.”
“Hi, Nat. Are you busy tonight?”
“No, why?”
“You looked really stressed and looked like you could unwind.”
I couldn’t help the smile that appeared on my face. Hayden always knew what I needed, well, sort of.
“What did you have in mind?”
“You do know how to dance right?”
********
I watched as she danced on the table in front of everyone. Yes, that is exactly what she was doing. I couldn’t believe it. This was not the Natalie everyone thought they knew so well.
When I had suggested coming to this club I thought we could dance a little and maybe have something to eat. I had no idea that Natalie had such a low tolerance to alcohol.
After her first sip I knew it had been a mistake. She is now on a bar shaking her hips looking completely blissful and happy. She is so drunk and I don’t quite know what to do.
I am standing so close to her that as she falls off she lands in my arms. Now everyone is staring at us. I know what they must be thinking.
They all want and do believe we are a couple. I mean they all seem to think no one can have our chemistry on-screen without it being real. Maybe it’s true. Maybe it isn’t true.
She smiles up at me as she jumps out of my arms. She now decides she feels like dancing. She pulls me out to the dance floor and instantly everyone is whispering around us. As sad as it is to say this, you really can’t blame them. I would be doing the exact same thing.
This is definitely not a night I am going to forget anytime soon, possibly never. I’m not all too sure that I want to forget it.
She wraps her arms around my neck.
“Thanks for catching me.”
I try to ignore just how good she feels in my arms.
“Natalie, I think I ought to take you home.”
“No! The night is young! We are going to stay here and have a good time! You came here to help me relax! That’s exactly what I’m doing!”
She says all of that in an very excited voice. She is happy. She may be drunk but she is happy.
“You know Hayden, I’ve always found you attractive. Think back to all those months ago when we had to do a try-out scene before you got the role of Anakin. Your kiss took my breath away.”
I tried my best to ignore what she was saying. I tried not to respond. In the morning she might not remember any of this. It might all be forgotten.
“Natalie, please! You are drunk. You don’t know what you are saying. Let me take you home. Your drinking binge is going to be all over the tabloids, you don’t want to add you being all over me to it.”
I can’t forget the hurt look. I try to tell myself that really, I am doing the right thing.
“You think I don’t want you? Why would I just say that? It doesn’t matter how drunk I am!”
She stormed out with me following her. I am sure people were wondering just what I did to piss off my “secret girlfriend.”
************
I woke up with a headache and- Oh God I am having a hangover. What the hell happened? What did I do? Oh God. I can barely remember.
I look over to my couch to where Hayden is sleeping. What is he doing here? I don’t mind him being here. I’m just wondering why.
Oh God. As I study his face I slowly remember. I remember him chasing me to my car after I stormed out on him. How embarrassing. All of a sudden I remember everything.
FLASHBACK( told from my pov as in the author)
“Natalie come on! Stop!”
He pulled her hand as she tried to get into the car.
“Let go of my hand!”
Natalie was beginning to get slightly hysterical so Hayden pulled away.
It began to rain. Rain was in both of their eyes. Rain was beginning to soak their clothes. It seemed to soak through their soul and make them both shiver. Or maybe something else, something much more powerful than rain caused them to both shiver.
Natalie finally looked into his eyes. They seemed different than she realized. They almost seemed dangerous. This excited her more than anything did.
“I meant what I said.”
“Natalie, you will just forget this in the morning!”
“Do you feel anything for me?”
Hayden looked at her. He couldn’t lie to her. He didn’t have it in him. He loved her too much to lie her. He couldn’t.
“Yes.”
“Then what is wrong?”
“Natalie, when we’re together as a couple in any way it will be when you are not drunk.”
“You don’t believe that I love you?”
“You- love me?”
She smiled as he quoted his line accidentally. Hayden also smiled when he realized it.
“Yes, Hayden. I love you.”
“Why me?”
Natalie ignored his question. She softly kissed him before he could just push her away.
