EP7
Jolene was already in the set with her people.
“Oh goddess Jolene you are so beautiful….” the makeup actist teased.
“aww…stop teasing me…” Jolene smiled, one of her worshippers came to whisper something in her ears.
“Hmmm….looks like the little mosquito decided to show up….” Jolene face darkened.
“She brought her bodyguard too” the girl said
“Who said he’ll be her bodyguard for long??……, he’ll be by my side soon….” she said.
Leon was in a lite t-shirt….his muscles where showing…..he was hot….just too hot…I felt my eyes burning
with desire….
Leon saw how this little girl was busy eyeing his body. He smiled as her fair face began to blush.
“Kitten your eyes are burning my body!” he said but Gem was far in her imaginary world. She didn’t hear Leon talking. “Hey….hey….Gem!!!” she finally snap back to reality.
“Hmm….!!!” I said.
“You’re drowling!” he said pointing at my mouth. I quickly cleaned my mouth but there was nothing there “Hey….there is nothing…..”I yelled. Leon laughed….this girl is so so cute and easy to tease.
“Let’s go….you have a scene today” he said. And hold my hand.
“Hey…hey…you…you can’t just hold my hands…” I said and tried to free my hands from his.
“Why!!!, why can’t I hold you…. remember the contract….I’ll do as I please” he said.
“No you can’t….am still your boss…..look am a celebrity what if people misunderstood?” I cried and whine to
break free.
“Fine…..”he finally let go. Leon smiling face darkened. why was she saying stuffs like that. He look at her and
saw he red wrist….he had used too much force…but why?, Leon couldn’t understand himself….why did he
suddenly feel bad when she asked him to let go of her.
“Am sorry….does it hurt?” he asked.
“No…it’s fine….am a bit skinny that’s why…it’s red….it’s okay” I said.
“Let’s go then” he said.
When we reach the scene. All eyes where on Leon. I was jealous…..it made me angry. What annoyed me
more was when the director ran to us.
“Uhmm Hi Mr Leon” he said.
“Hi director…you know my body…….”
“Who doesn’t know this god himself……look Mr Leon…we have a deal for you” the director cut me off.
“Director I thought I had a scene today……hahaha”
“Sorry Mrs Gem but we don’t need you today….Mr Leon…..we uhmm wanted to make you the male lead of
the RMH film …..what do you say…..you’ll get the chance to act with the goddess Jolene….you too will be
outstanding” he said. I thought Leon would disagree but I was surprised to hear him say “I’ll do it…..so when are we starting” he said “What…no…Leon” I yelled.
“What’s wrong with it….I’d love to act as a male lead” he said.
“But……. director…..then Jolene would be his lover and….and am just a third wheel?” I asked
“Yes that’s how it is” the director said smiling.
“Let’s go sir….we have lots of scene to act with Jolene” the director said.
“Hi Mr Leon….” Jolene came and hook her hands round Leon’s huge arms. They started talking….I couldn’t
bare anymore as I took a taxi to Ruth.
***********************
Ruth opened the time and saw me crying.
“Gem…w..w.what happened?” she asked and I told her everything.
“You won’t leave me too right?” I asked.
“I won’t….how could Leon…..do sure a thing to you…..” she said
I remembered what Leon told me that being near Ruth will only bring harms to her.
“I have to get going now” I said
“Let me drop you up” he said
“No….no am fine….” I left.
************************
Leon was in the set reading the script when he noticed gem was gone. He looked around and decided to asked.
“Hi….you’ve seen kitten?” he asked
“Who is kitten?” the boy asked
“Oh sorry I mean Miss gem?”
“No…she left hours ago….”
“What….I didn’t notice”
“Mr Leon….let’s go on set” the director yelled but Leon too his phone and called Gem. surprisingly her phone was with him. ‘No’.
“I have to explain to her…..” he said and ran into his car….”No Gem you can’t leave my sight…..” he said….the only place she would be is at Ruth’s place. Leon drove to Ruth house and ran inside without knocking.
“Mr Leon….oh so you choose to leave the set?” she said angrily “How could you do this to Gem?”
“Where is she?” he asked.
“And why should I tell you?” Ruth yelled. Leon face darkened.
“She’s not here” he said and left. ‘Wait how did he know?’ she thought……that girl I’ve been calling her but
she’s not picking up my calls.
“Gem….. please be safe….let me explain” Leon didn’t know why he’s feeling this way but he didn’t care….he won’t lose his cute kitten…never.
***********†**********
I was walking in the long road….full of people. I don’t know how long I’ve been walking but I know I don’t
want to stop.
“She had everything…..why does she still need Leon….dad….mom….where are you…..?, I really like him….God
can you just please let him be mine….. even if Jolene is attracted to him…….” I started crying. I do have feelings for Leon but I am scared…..
I was still walking when I saw the road became dry and silence. I had a bad feeling about this.
I fastened my step….I could feel someone watching me and following me……I was scared.
‘Leon…..am scared…help me…. please come to me….Leon……leon’ I kept on calling in my head. Suddenly I
started running. Looking back two men ran after me.
Before I could turn my eyes my body smash into the arms of strong man.
“No…. please….. please….., don’t hurt me” I cried and close my eyes as the arms grab me…………….
