Days blended into each other in this quiet and uneventful environment. The only creatures that could be heard were the dogs, birds and frogs. Maeva was at her best in terms of writing/time ratio. She hoped she would be finished with this new novel soon. She would then have all her time to finish the movie script on wish Sky might be the lead. That would be a new experience for them. Working together. She had heard that he was quite hardheaded when he was adamant about something. She had also experienced it. He was a dichotomy; so hardheaded when he knew the information, so humble when it was a new information that you were bringing him. What was to note was, that he was right when he was hardheaded. She took a short break to let her mind wonder. She closed her eyes and conjured up his image. This brought up the memory of his smell, how he tasted, all over, and how comforting it was to be in his arms or have her head laying on his chest. One week passed and he texted her little hearts emojis a couple of times. No calls. She expected that. He used this same way when he trained. That was his way while working. She sent him little texts saying what she was doing, dog pics, some bushes that just bloomed. Always short and not requiring answers. She only wanted to put a smile on his face.
 
On Wednesday afternoon, Maeva received a call from Jess who asked if she could visit with her. She asked her if she wanted to come for a meal, but Jess took a rain check explaining she had a business dinner and would be close by. She though she would visit. When she saw the car arrive that evening, Maeva was sitting in the flowery garden with the dogs sniffing about. She called Jess over to come to the back. They hugged.
 
“I am so happy to see you, Maeva. You look great. Marriage did you both good, I think, you are both glowing with love.”, Jess said taking a seat in front of Maeva who smiled.
 
“Well, life is wonderful with him in my life.”, Maeva explained.
 
“I don’t doubt it. I have known Sky for twenty years. I know him inside out.”, she laughed. “Did you look at the newspaper? Social media?”. Maeva shook her head no. “I wanted to let you know and have a chat with you before you look it up.”, Jess explained. “You did know a deal was made with the Press Association, right?”. Maeva nodded again, this time frowning.
 
“Well, TMZ did not want to pay the Association, so they received no pictures and decided to dig up some dirt. They published some pictures of Sky with old gay friends and in some, he appears drunk. Then, they followed up the story with an unclear pic of you, probably taken when you were not aware and they write very nasty things like, Sky married an older women as to not have to make love to her, insinuating he is gay.”, Jess was upset, Maeva could hear the strain in her voice.
 
“I don’t really care about this, Jess. I know what I need to know about Sky’s past. Did anyone post nice things about the wedding? Did they print pictures we authorized?”, asked Maeva.
 
“Oh yes, some magazines did wonderful pieces. Only TMZ were crossed. It is not even our fault.”
 
“No damage repair for me, Jess. How about Sky’s career?”, Maeva was worried.
 
“I am not sure. It is a diffamation issue. I know Sky will not go for it. I will have to see with him.”
 
“Maybe if we send them some pictures of us kissing, of our vows, etc.? Would you want me to give them an interview?”, asked Maeva.
 
“No, I don’t think so. They are so devious. I would think they would take your words out-of-context. I am certainly happy to know you are not concerned with this. Sky hasn’t been around this old gang except for fan pictures.”.
 
“I trust Sky.”, Maeva said it in quite a convincing matter. Jess smiled.
 
“Sky also asks me to see if you would like to go up to the studio?”, Jess asked.
 
“When tonight? Now?”
 
“In an hour or so, his driver should arrive. It is only for the weekend. He asked Yvonne to come care for the dogs. You would need basic stuff; some underwear, an extra pair of pants and t-shirts and hygiene stuff you need. That’s it!”, Jess said.
 
“Wouldn’t it be simpler if you just brought me there?”
 
“Well, I would have if I was going there, but I just finished a very busy week with Sky and I really would like my weekend off. I live in London. The chauffeur was sent to the city for some errands, and it is not that much of a detour for him to pick you up. You see, all works out. Sky is eager to have you with him. I believe you will have a nice ride back with your lover on his moto to return here. What wouldn’t I give for that?”, Jess said with an envious look.
 
“I am also eager to see him. It has been the longest we have been apart since we have been engaged. I know I must learn how to do this, and I am pretty good at keeping myself busy but, I do miss him so much.”
 
“I am in total awe of your couple, of how you found each other and how well you are matched together. Sky is a special guy. He needs a very wise and mature woman. No pun intended with your age Maeva. You are calm, loving, and extremely reasonable. You are not the kind to just go off on an egocentric trip or to suddenly be envious of the attention he gets. You are not pretentious, one bit. You understand him. You accept him as he is and this is exactly what he needs. Sky always felt pressured to be what others wanted him to be, and he likes to please people, so he tends to be somewhat influenceable. Not a good thing. He has gotten into trouble for that, and could again. Alcohol also kind of gets him even more agreeable. He might make other mistakes Maeva, but never ever believe it is because he does not love you. There is one thing about Sky. Once he adopts you, once he completely trusts you, he is loyal forever. Sometimes I seem him as a child still. He has that naiveté in his ways. This is what makes him so appealing. Innocence and plain old goodness of heart. Maeva, you are one lucky lady!”, Jess took a pause, stood up and hugged Maeva. “I must be on my way. I will tell the driver to pick you up at eight? Will that be enough time for you to get ready?”
 
“Hummm…it should be if I get to it now.”
 
“Goodbye dear. See you soon.”.
 
Jess went back to her car. Maeva heard the motor go off and the crackling of the wheels on the unpaved driveway. She went to get the travel bag she had seen in her walk-in closet. A beautiful light beige leather duffel overnight bag. She got her travel pouch with everything she needed prepared already. Some underwears, t-shirts, jeans and her cashmere shawl. Took her backpack purse and shoved her computer, hard drive, mouse and charger inside with her cell phone. Went to the kitchen and took some protein bars as a snack. She was still feeling weird in the morning and found it helped to take little bites when she felt her stomach go weird on her. The driver arrived early.
 
“Hello Jack” I didn’t know you were the one coming. Nice to see you again.”
 
“It is nice to see you again Mrs. Hawthorne.”
 
She took care of bringing in the dogs, hugged them all, made sure they had water until Yvonne arrived. They all went to their respective corners and laid down. She locked the doors with the locking system at the front. The driver had already picked up her bag. She picked up her leather jacket from the entry closet and walked to the car. The drive was pleasurable and quiet. She remembered it was about 300 kilometers from the house so she had ample time to work or do some research. She chose to relax. She wrote abundantly during the last few days and thought a short break would be good. She also knew she would have the opportunity to write while Sky worked. The road was hilly and picturesque with swerving and frequent turns. Farms and woodsy patches alternated. She was starting to fall asleep when the driver announced they were there and that he would park the car close to Sky’s trailer so she could drive out anytime she felt like it.
 
“Ok. Thank you, but whose car is it?” she asked.
 
“It’s Mr. Hawthorne’s. He said you could use it as you please. I will give you the key.”
 
“Do you know where Sky is right now?”, Maeva asked, just for the sheer pleasure of visualising where he was.
 
“I’m not sure Mrs. Hawthorne. I know they are filming late but he might be on set or, eating at the Food tent. It is right at the end of the trailer street. I suggest you make yourself comfortable in the trailer and I am certain someone will bring you some food. Goodbye Mrs. Hawthorne.”
 
“Goodbye and thank you.”, said Maeva.
 
She entered the trailer looking around. She loved that she recognized his smell. She thought it was quite luxurious and comfortable. But it remained a “trailer”. There were bottles of Evian water in the fridge. She took one, sat on the couch and took long gulps. She felt completely dehydrated. She looked at the time and noticed it was almost nine thirty. That’s why she felt tired. For some reason, she had gone to bed very early in the evening since Sky left. He even had awakened her a few times when he called at around ten in the evening. She went to the bedroom, looked at the shower and saw it worked well so took the opportunity. Once showered, she got into PJ shorts and camisole, untied her hair, brushed them and laid down watching tele while waiting for Sky. What was doomed to happen, happened. She fell asleep. Sky came in late, saw her sleeping and decided he would also take a shower and go to bed. He was exhausted. After his shower, he remembered about dinner and decided to take a high calorie shake instead. He laid down gently near her and smelled his body soap which had a different smell on her. She slowly cuddled and he opened his arms welcoming her. Finally reunited with her, he fell into the most comfortable deep sleep.
 
 
 
They were awaked by a knock at the door.
 
“Make-up room at 1 pm, Sky”
 
It took a few minutes for Maeva to realize where she was, but as soon as she felt him near her, she put her arms around him and squeezed hard and kissed him everywhere she could get her mouth on. He laughed and pushed her gently away.
 
“I’ll be back in a sec.”, he went to the toilet, and she noticed there were no doors to the bedroom, only to the other part of the trailer.
 
”I know, uncomfortable, no? Just don’t look my love.”, he said self-consciously.
 
“What if I want to watch?”, she asked mischievously.
 
“Really? I thought the sight of me urinating might be quite unsavory.”, he shily smiled.
“Well, the act of peeing uses a part I am quite interested in.”, she laughed and, looked.
 
“Well, I don’t know how I will be able to empty my bladder if you keep on looking. It is kinda of sexy…Who would have thought?”. It was his turn to laugh. ”Would you kindly look away for a sec?”, he pleaded.
 
“Ok. For you my love, I will not look. But maybe you better get used to it if you want me to stay in this trailer with you.”.
 
He washed his hands, brushed his teeth, washed his face and came back to bed. He looked at her smiling.
 
“I believe it is your turn, now!”, it was his turn to tease her. “Not has fun when it is your turn, he? Got you there my love.”
 
“I am not sure, you guys find a women crushing over a toilet to urinate is as much of a thrill as for a woman to watch a man? Am I right?”, she asked, kind of hoping he’d say no.
 
“I really don’t know. I have not even thought about a circumstance like this.”, he answered.
 
“Believe me, if you would find it at all exciting, you would have thought about it before. So, just please, turn away for me. Please?”, it was her turn to plead. Contrary to her, he did turn away, laying on his stomach waiting for her to finish. When she returned to the bed, he feigned sleep. He was totally naked and his body was perfectly designed. Nothing amiss. Even the muscles had perfect shapes that he had successfully well defined. She sat on him, straddling him. She softly and slowly massaged his back. She knew enough about muscles and ligaments to be able to give excellent massages.
 
“Humm. You are quite good at this. Why didn’t you tell me?”
 
“The men I have been with always abused my talent. They also never ever gave back in return. It deterred me from continuing.”, she said quite matter of fact.  He remained mute, just enjoying her hands on his body.
 
“What time is it?”, he asked.

“Eleven thirty.”, she answered.
 
“You do know that I am not as free as I am at home, right?”, he asked turning around to face her. She looked at his eyes but felt the hardness in his groin.
 
“I am all ready for you, and it is what I want most right now, to make love to you. But I can’t. I have just enough time to do a quick fasted run, have a shake, get dressed, go have a hearty breakfast at the tent that I will gobble up in 10, grab a coffee and drink it while having the make-up girls to their magic with my face and hair.”, she bent to kiss his lips. He answered by keeping her head in place, kissing her back. She slowly withdrew from him.
 
“I know my love. Go, run. Go do your thing. I am grateful to have been in your arms all night.”, she smiled.

He got up, put on shirt and camisole and left with a smile on his face.
 
Maeva realized that she was hungry, but she also felt a little weird, like most mornings these days. She opened the refrigerator again, remembering there were snacks in there. She found a huge fruit plate and served herself some. With the protein bar, it would make for a good breakfast.  She searched around for coffee as the Italian expresso machine was on a burner, and she figured this what Sky used to make his coffee. They both liked their coffee strong, but he frequently drank it black. She preferred to have it smoothed out with skimmed milk. Recently, she got used to Jersey milk with its 4% and more fat content and it was addictive, but the high fat quantity was not good for her. She sat around eating and drinking her coffee, wondering what the dogs were doing back home. She texted Yvonne, just to make sure all was good.  It was. She opened a few windows knowing it was not as hot as the day before, but she felt the hot humid air coming in and closed them back right away. She opened the AC and the tele and played around which the channels, noticed it was a Smart TV and was quite happy about that as she had forgotten to ask Sky about a wireless network. When exploring the channels – she still had some trouble with the British channels – she noticed Long Cross studio had an internal channel for most of their studios. She searched around and found she couldn’t recognize any of the shootings. Then, she realized the last one showed a silhouette she thought familiar. She went back to it. Yes, it was familiar. It was Sky. He seemed to be in a scene with a large group. They all appeared to be from another era. Their costumes were in the early 19th century, she thought. Then, he took the women in front of him in his arms and kissed her. Maeva was shocked at first, not expecting this. Then someone signaled to stop and he completely let go of his character, acted as if he hadn’t been kissing the women passionately just a second ago. What seemed like the director approached them and was explaining how he wanted this scene to be, she guessed. Sky was listening attentively. The actress shook her head from side to side and left. The director talked a little more with Sky and then Sky also left. She didn’t really understand what happened, but she still was slightly shocked by the kiss. She knew he was an actor. She just didn’t expect to see this now. She decided it might not be so good for her to watch the internal channel. She chose to write instead. She opened the curtains in the middle of the trailer but found it was still dark as the one-way see through windows darkened the inside. At least she could have a nicer view from behind as it gave to the forest behind the studio’s lot.
She had been writing for about an hour when Sky entered the trailer.
 
« Hello my love. », he leaned down and kissed her. He smelled and tasted good.
 
“You are on a break?”, she asked, surprised.
 
“A long break, I gather.”, he answered sitting down on the couch looking at her.” Mrs. Star decided she didn’t like the script and left the set. This usually means the director will have to talk with her agent to see what this is about, and we will be waiting for this tiff to resolved before we shoot again.”, he said with a huge smile.
 
“Time for us?”, she asked, hoping for a positive answer. He nodded, with a grin. She got up and went to him, sitting sideways on him with her arms around his neck. They kissed, slowly, tenderly at first and progressively more passionately as the kiss lasted. How she missed him, she thought. One thing led to another, and they ended up spending most of the day in bed, snacking on what was left of the food in the refrigerator and her purse. They fell asleep intertwined in each other’s body. When they woke up, Maeva saw him texting and knew he needed food. She stretched and asked if he needed to train. He smiled at her, kissed her hard.
 
“Shower first, shake, training and dinner. In that order. I also ordered for you, but you don’t get a Sky’s special diet plate.”. he smiled and went to the shower. She stretched again and closed her eyes, thinking she would get up only when he finished his shower so she could take hers. She had visual memories of their lovemaking and wondered if the neighbouring trailers heard them. They had been pretty noisy today. She couldn’t get over how desirable he was. He was beautiful and so sexy, she never realized how full of lust she could be. She thought that part of her was dead to the world. She imagined his desire of her added to the feeling. He was so hungry for her. She felt it and saw it. The scene she had witnessed on the tele before, had appeared passionate, but she now realized it looked completely fake. There didn’t seem to be any chemistry between the two stars. Sky came out of the shower smelling his beautiful self. He was going about naked, now comfortable in front of her. She could feel he was not self-conscious anymore. She got up, naked and walked towards him as he was drying himself. She got up on her tippy toes and stretched up to reach his lips. He didn’t crouch to help her. Just smiled enjoying her efforts to reach him. Suddenly, he dropped his towel, picked her up and jumped on the bed pinning her underneath him. They felt the trailer shake.
 
“Oh my god! Who do you think saw the trailer move?”, she asked wide-eyed.
 
“I do not care one wee bit.”, he answered, kissing her neck, her breasts, her tummy, reaching below her belly button and going down further.
 
“Sky, let me take a shower, ok? I’m still full of you.”, he was already there.
 
“You smell of me. I love to have you smell of me. It is such a power trip.”, he said kissing her all over.
She had his thighs in front of her face, she caressed them slowly, revelling in the sensations he gave her below. She caressed upwards noticing they got hairier as it got closer to his groin. She was stopped by his testes who were quite close to his body, not pendulous like some other men. His penis was fully erect, just as hard as she remembered it when he entered her. He rarely gave her the opportunity to look at his manhood this closely, for a long period. She could smell his musky smell through the shower gel smell. She moved her body so she could reach him easily. She first caressed him with only her index finger. She followed the huge swollen vein there. She then applied her tongue to it. Sky moaned and took a mouthful of her clitoris. She gasped and shuddered involuntarily. As a vengeance, she took him completely in her mouth. It was his turn to react. He started to move, following her mouth action and his tongue started to apply more pressure and moved with her body undulations. They easily brought each other to climax. They both lay there, spent, faces near each other’s genitals. Content.
 
When he returned, Maeva gave him a note that someone brought in his absence. He took another shower while she warmed up the meals. He read the note as they were eating.

“No one knows when we will be resuming. They suggest waiting until tomorrow. If no news, we will close the set.”, Sky seemed concerned, but he resumed eating. When they were done. He went to sit on the couch and took his phone.
 
“I am exhausted right now but I feel so relaxed, that I would like to just lay about with you. How does that sound to you?”, he asked Maeva. She was also tired and it was about the time at which she went to sleep these days.
 
“Well, I will be happy to fall asleep in your arms, my love.”, she said as she lay down near him with her head on his lap.
 
“I will probably be going for a run later, if I am able to. Don’t worry if you hear me go out, ok?”, he undid her hair she had tied into a bun and played with her hair still looking at his phone. Maeva closed her eyes and breathed in his scent and listened to his breathing, typing and small chuckles when he read something funny. Once or twice, he explained what it was, but he saw she was half asleep already and just let her be. He was slightly worried. She was really tired these days, and she hadn’t felt well since their wedding day. Jess had texted him to let him know what had been discussed with Maeva. He decided to ask Jess if she found Maeva any different.
 
Sky: How was Maeva went you visited?
Jess: In very good spirits. She did mention she had not been feeling herself these days, but she looked as good as ever. With that “in love” glow.
Sky: I am concerned. She was feeling queasy on our wedding day, and it has persisted. She falls asleep between 8 and 9 pm nowadays.
Jess: You know what it sounds like, right?
Sky: You think she is pregnant?
Jess: Women can get pregnant even at that age. I don’t know her medical history.
Sky: Let’s say, it is not impossible, but not very likely.
Jess: Maybe you sure both make sure. Early follow-up will be important.
 
Sky looked at Maeva sleeping, her head on his thighs. He followed her body curved down to her hips and brought his hand forward on her tummy. It was somewhat rounder, he thought. It probably was too early to tell. He was sure she would have mentioned it to him had she known about a pregnancy. She probably didn’t expect it at all. He thought he would wait a little. He knew he should not be rejoicing as there was more probability she was not pregnant, than she was. However, he had a growing feeling in him, something completely new to him, a sudden overwhelming sense of being completely responsible for another being. Would he have the choice, he would not want children right now. He wanted to wait a couple of years, and Maeva and him had discussed it. They both expected to need in vitro fertilization, and it was fine with both. They both assumed it was not possible for Maeva to get pregnant naturally. They had used condoms until they were duly tested, but they hadn’t been careful since then. So, it was a real possibility. He couldn’t tell if it was happiness or anxiety he felt. He needed to run. He gently lifter her head to get up, covered her and changed into his running gear.
