Chapter 1521 The Kissing Scene
And with that, she fell asleep in Louie’s arms without realizing it. Holding her in his arms, the latter leaned back against the sofa and acted as a body pillow for her until dawn.
When Eva opened her eyes in the early morning, she found herself sleeping on the sofa; the man she had slept on top of was closing his eyes in repose while propping his head on his elbow. She quietly crept out of his embrace, but the man nonetheless woke up. He opened his eyes and smiled, saying, “You’re up?”
“Thank you,” Eva said softly; she had slept well in his arms last night. Louie sat up while lightly moving the joints of his arms, which were tingling from the pressure on them. Even so, he dared not show it before the woman. “I’ve got scenes to do today. Why don’t you go back instead?” Eva said to him.
Louie looked up at her, emanating the captivating charm of a grown man through his thick eyebrows and jet-black eyes. “I’ll accompany you while you do your scenes. If you’re scared at night, you can sleep with your arms around me.”
Eva’s pretty face reddened slightly. In a soft voice, she uttered, “Suit yourself.”
At this moment, on the set of the film, Jessie and Julian were getting ready for their very first kissing scene in a room covered with green screens. Having changed into her costume, Jessie was wearing natural and tastefully simple makeup since she’d be doing some close-up shots today. Her lips were slightly pink in color, which made her look delicate and charming.
This kissing scene was one where Jessie’s character was intent on getting away from Julian’s character, who then furiously seized her by the throat and kissed her in an extremely controlled manner.
With everything ready, Jessie and Julian took up their respective positions, standing about one meter apart from each other. At this moment, Jessie stepped back while angrily speaking her lines to the man before her. “I’m not staying here unless you kill me and keep my dead body around you!” With that, she attempted to flee.
Vincent shouted, “Cut! That was good. Now let’s move on to the next scene where Julian grabs Jessie’s throat and forces her to look up as he kisses her. Come on, get in your positions.”
Jessie’s cheeks were already looking as though they’d been colored with rouge. Pursing her lips for a moment, she looked at the man opposite her before saying as if begging for mercy, “Go easy on me, okay?”
Julian’s lips curled upward into a mischievous smile. “I’ll try as much as I can.”
As soon as Vincent shouted the word “Action!” Jessie’s face took on a stunned expression. The next instant, Julian grabbed her throat with his large hand in a not-so-tight grip, wrapping an arm around her waist as his thin lips pressed down on hers in anger.
Jessie’s beautiful eyes rounded slightly. Her mind was blown; she looked totally stupefied. She forgot her script and her micro-expressions, let alone the fact that she had to struggle. At this moment, she was totally overwhelmed by the moist kiss sucking her pink lips…
“Cut! Let’s do it again,” Vincent ordered, upon which Julian let go of her while breathing heavily.
Jessie’s face reddened again; she put up her hands over it.
Seeing the situation, Vincent promptly said to the assistant director, “Come on, Timmy, clear the set.”
Consequently, all the crew members and actors who didn’t need to be present were asked to leave the set. Taking deep breaths in secret, Jessie sat on the floor, still blushing to her ears as though she couldn’t calm down at all.
Julian also sat on the floor next to her. Gazing at the young lady who looked so shy that she dared not show herself in public, he felt at once amused and sorry for her.
The makeup artist quickly touched up the pair’s makeup. Suppressing the urge to laugh, Jessie stood up, but as soon as she saw Julian across from her, she couldn’t help laughing; for a time, she laughed so uncontrollably that she couldn’t stop. Vincent even teased her as he looked on, saying, “Calm down for a moment, Jessie. I know being kissed by Julian makes you so happy that you want to laugh, but let’s finish this scene first, okay?”
Not only did Jessie burst out laughing this time, but Julian also laughed across from her, revealing a line of shiny white teeth. His eyes had a look of secret pleasure in them as he watched how the young lady split her sides laughing after he had kissed her.
At once, Jessie prepared herself emotionally, suppressing the urge to laugh at this moment by recalling some difficult days in her past. After calming down at last, she looked at the man opposite her and gave him a lovely wink.
