“Like hell I am! When you want to quit because of me, then you do need therapy.”
He sighed. “Look, if it hurts you this much, I won’t do it. I’ll take projects when you’re free to come with. Or I’ll just work exclusively with you. How about that?”
I snorted in response, my tears wouldn’t stop.
“Carolina, please stop crying.” He pulled me into a comforting embrace. “When I see your tears I feel like I’m not a man.”
“Promise me you won’t quit. No matter what.”
“Will it make you stop crying?”
“Yes.”
“Then I promise.”
I pulled him tighter, and then crushed my lips to his. “I love you.”
He smiled, running his thumbs under my eyes as my phone vibrated. “You should take this call.”
“No.” I wasn’t in the mood to do anything or talk to anyone.
“Trust me.”
I looked at him in wonder. “What is it?”
“Just answer.”
I huffed, grabbed the damn phone, and turned the speaker on. “Samantha, this is not a good time.”
“Well, it’s about to be. The nominations are out,” the manager said.
My heart skipped a beat. My eyes flicked at Mike as his lips were stretching into a grin. “Best Actor, right? I fucking knew it!” I squealed and crushed my mouth to Mike’s again.
“That and two more actually,” Samantha said.
My mouth fell open. “Oh my God.” I bent my legs under me. “Let me guess, Cassidy for Best Supporting, too?”
“You guessed right,” the manager replied.
“What’s the third?” I looked at Mike, who winked at me.
“Best Directing.”
I felt all the blood rush out of my body and then pump back in all at once. “HOLY FUCK!”
“Congratulations, Kid. You’re the sixth woman ever nominated in the category,” Samantha said.
I yelped sounds only dogs could hear as I stood on the bed, glancing down at Mike. “Did you hear that?! Did you fucking hear that?!”
He broke into laughter as I started jumping on the bed. “Si, amore. I heard.”
“Ah…Gennaro, don’t let her hurt herself,” Samantha said.
He grabbed my legs and brought me down to his lap. “Don’t worry. I got her.”
“You both realize you need to come back to do press?”
“Not now, Sam. We got something more important to do.” I peeled my dress off my body and got Mike out of his shorts. His dick was already hard, and I moaned loudly as I took him inside me.
