1002words
"Girlfriend?.... I didn't know.... You had a girlfriend", She stuttered nervously. "It's a new development but yes, I have a girlfriend", I stepped offthe stage and headed for my dressing room, hoping she would get the hint that I was done here but she just kept following me.
"And she is okay with the line of your work?", She asked. I instantly flinched at her words, thankful that she didn't see it. Lynn doesn't know who am i, what I do but I hope she sticks around after I tell her. I know it's a lot to expect from someone, but I don't want to lose her.
I would literally quit on spot if that's what would make Lynn happy. As long as she fucking stays.
"Yep, she is totally cool with it", I lied still pushing forward to my dressing room.
"Wow, that's cool of her, I don't think I could ever date a porn star if I wasn't in the industry", She paused before asking. "Unless she is someone I might know",
I shook my head, stopping at my door to look at her over my shoulder. "Nah, she is too classy to do this line of work", I know it was a blow but it was the truth. I could never see Lynn doing this type of work and that's what I loved about her.
"Was that an insult, Drake?",
Chuckling I shook my head and then shrugged my shoulders. "Take it as you want Beth, I really need to keep going, though", I opened up my dressing room door and stepped in, making sure to slam the door in front of her face.
The room was pleasantly quiet, and I let out a breath, glad that the shoot was over. Even with the little blue pill in my system, I still had a hell of time keeping a hard on tonight. And I have a feeling it's only going to get worse. It's time to start thinking about plan B.
Getting dressed back into my clothes, I stared down at my phone and frowned when there wasn't a single message from Lynn . I wanted to hear from her before I went to bed tonight but I didn't want to be clingy either, but fuck it. I have to say something to her.
DRAKE: I hope Luis is doing well. I'm heading home from work now. Feel free to join me in bed when you get home tomorrow morning.... I have a day off. Gnight Lynn",
After hitting send, I re-read my message and cringed. Did I really just tell her to join me in bed the next morning?! It totally sounded like I wanted morning sex, didn't I?. I just wanted to cuddle if I'm being honest.
A light knock came from the door, and I was instantly pissed thinking that it might be Beth. She was persist, I will give her that. But when I whipped my door open and saw Kris standing there, I was half pleased and still half annoyed.
"That was a great shoot, Drake. Would you like to go over the edits with me tomorrow", Kris murmured.
"Nah, i trust you. I have got plans and.......",
His loud sigh made me pause as I turned and looked at him. He was leaning against my table with his arms crossed over his chest, looking over at me with displeasure. "Drake, we really need to talk. This Lynn chick really has you.... ..",
"Don't even think about saying anything about Lynn, Kris. It's none of your fucking business. The last time I checked, the industry doesn't fucking own me or who I decide to date",
He looked taken a back as I spoke but he held up his ground.
"Look", He started pushing forward from the table. "I'm just worried about you, Drake. You have lived and breathed the industry for so many years and now that this chick is in the picture, you have completely changed. I mean, fuck, you never used to take those little pills and now you taking one before every shoot",
The rage was pounding through my veins, and I wanted to punch him.
"Well I have changed Kris, don't you think I'm sick and tired of the industry. Don't you understand that this life is fucking lonely and Lynn is the.....", I stopped, shaking my head. "No, this is none of your business. You my director, not my boss or father . I don't owe you any kind of explanation",
I grabbed my keys from the other table and went for the door when Kris's voice halted me.
"If you don't win the award next month, Drake you will be finished",
My hand gripped the door handle as I felt my jaw tighten up before I glared over at him.
"That award doesn't mean shit and neither does your threat", I stepped out in the hallway and slammed the door behind me. That bastard had no idea how much I can fuck with him and ruin his career.
Something has to change and as I climbed the heel of my Audi. I knew that Tonight was the last time, I would fuck in front of the camera.

When I arrived home, I couldn't help but look over at Lynn's place. It was pitch dark inside and i knew she wasn't home yet. I was pissed at myself for how things ended tonight and how she still doesn't know who I really am. Even though I was ending my contract with the industry, I knew she still deserved to know the truth.
I shut my Audi off and went inside remembering that Dakota was here and that I needed to be quiet, so I didn't wake her up.
