flicked out another business card as he left.
Amy sighed and let her head fall in her hands, wondering what on earth she was doing at this party. She’d never felt more out of her depth and where was Josh– shouldn’t he be back by now?
****
Josh strode confidently through the party towards the men’s restroom. He was surely the envy of every guy in there as he was with the most stunning woman in the room. The way Amy had danced had blown his mind. She could move amazingly well and he didn’t dare let his mind wander to what that could mean, at least not yet.
And then that kiss, it was amazing. Josh could still feel his entire body tingling from it. He wanted to suggest they just leave the party and head back to his hotel but he knew Amy wasn’t like that and he didn’t want to risk ruining everything between them. She was the sort of woman who deserved to be respected. Unlike…
“Joshie!”
As if on cue Caroline appeared and planted a giant kiss on Josh’s cheek, leaving a red stain behind.
“Caroline,” Josh tried to get away from her but she blocked his path.
“Surprised to see me?” she asked angrily.
“Not really,” Josh answered dismissively.
“Well since you didn’t ask me to come to the party I thought I’d just find my own way anyway.” Caroline explained, placing her hands on her hips.
“Good for you, have fun.”
Josh tried to walk away but she blocked his path again.
“I thought maybe you’d be pleased to see me, but instead I find out you are here with some nobody!”
“She’s not a nobody.” Josh defended.
“What are you trying to do to me, Josh? To us? We had a plan, to be the biggest couple in Hollywood and you’re blowing it!”
“Caroline I don’t want to be with you, accept it.” Josh said angrily.
“You’re fooling yourself!” Caroline replied, on the verge of tears.
Her long black false eyelashes fought to hold back the stem of tears which wanted to break free.
Changing tactics she leaned in close to Josh so that he could smell her perfume. She ran her hand down his back and led it all the way to his thigh where she let it settle suggestively.
“We’re good together, Josh,” she purred in his ear.
“We know each other, what we like…what we don’t like,” she drew circles in his leg with her long false nails as she spoke.
“We know how to drive each other wild,” she was in full seductress mode now, her eyes half closed, her voice soft.
“Remember that night at the film premiere last year? It was a party, just like this, and we stole away, unable to wait to have each other.”
As much as he didn’t want to remember, Josh felt himself being drawn back to that night when he had some of the wildest sex he’d ever had, and the next day it was all over the front of the papers as they’d been caught on CCTV.
It was a huge media scandal but it boosted both his and Caroline’s careers considerably. He could tell she was taunting him, that she wanted the same thing to happen here, tonight.
“I’ve already found a room upstairs we could use,” she told him, confirming his suspicions.
“Why don’t we go and recreate some magic?”
The part of Josh which was led primarily by his physical desires was desperate to go. Desperate to have another passion-filled wild night but this time his heart spoke up; something which it had never done before.
It told him how sex with Caroline would be empty, as it always was…which was ultimately unsatisfying. With Amy he had a chance at something real.
“And who leaked the footage?” Josh asked, pulling away from Caroline and the spell she was attempting to cast.
“What?” she asked, confused at having been broken off mid-flow.
“You came back, got the footage and leaked it to the media, all because of that piece of shit agent of yours, Mitch, thought it would be a good
