Laura’s POV 121
Cameron didn’t make a move.
He looked at me and moved his lips but said nothing. There was something very complicated in his eyes that I couldn’t read or guess, but at that moment my heart was ecstatic.
Not only was I not dead, but I could see him again!
“Cameron …” I called to him softly again, “Where is this?”
I hear the sound of a humming engine and the place is rocking every now and then.
Cameron slowly helps me up, adjusts the seat back and hands me a glass of water.
“On my plane.” He said, “You’re stuck in the desert and the only way I can find you is by plane.”
“Oh …” I nodded, “So where are we going?”
“Back to the hotel downtown, of course!” Suddenly a chirpy voice came.
I was startled to see Fryday slowly walk into this cabin, twisting and turning in a red dress of flavor.
She had a smile on her face as if she were a victor.
She gently sat down next to Cameron, smiled sweetly at him, and put her hand on his shoulder.
Cameron didn’t push her away.
“Cameron, the crew has prepared lunch, but the conditions here are really simple, and the food is not much … When the plane lands, how about we go to the hotel to eat?”
“Let’s eat something on the airplane first.” Cameron said lightly, “Laura hasn’t eaten for a day and a night, her body won’t be able to take it.”
“Okay.” Fryday smiled and pressed a ringing bell on her hand.
Then someone brought airplane food.
There’s not a lot of variety, but it’s all according to my favorite flavors. I look at Cameron, Fryday is snuggled up next to him, they look and act as if they are close …
I was very confused, but my heart gave an involuntary twitch.
“Cameron, you go to rest, Ms. Laura here to me.”
“You take care.”
Cameron stood up, and it was as if I had become an insignificant person in his eyes.
I want to call out to him, but Fryday snaps and presses my hand. She hooks her lips, her eyes hiding a lot of words.
Cameron walks into the front cabin.
I shake Fryday off and look at her angrily, “Why are you here? I don’t need you to take care of me, so get out too!”
“Ms. Laura, don’t be angry.” She covered me with the blanket and laughed, “I know you don’t like seeing me, but Cameron asked me to come with him, so could I not come?”
“Him?”
“Of course.” She said, “Ms. Laura, I actually have you to thank for that … Heh, that old man Rafael, he’s no match for Cameron!”
“Thank you for letting me know Cameron. he is young, rich, and from a famous family, such a man is called the best ah, how can Rafael compare to him!”
“You …”
“Come on, eat something first.” Fryday brought the rice to me, “Ms. Laura doesn’t eat, do you want me to feed you?”
“Fryday, what the hell do you want!” I knit my hair in anger, “I’m warning you, don’t you pester Cameron!”
“Stalk?” She sneered, “Laura, now do you know what it’s like to have your man stalked? Did you think about today’s retribution when you were stalking Rafael!”
“I have nothing to do with Rafael!”
“Is that so?” She hummed softly, “But everyone knows that President Rafael, in order to please you, his confidante, made a big show of visiting the cast and chartered an entire caravan of camels to invite the cast to tour the desert!”
“What …”
“The media has gone crazy, and you’re still in the dark?”
Fryday smiled smugly, his eyes barbed.
And my heart plummets, thumping in panic.
Cameron …
He must have seen the news too! He must have misunderstood.
“Cameron was so mad when he found out he couldn’t even eat.” Fryday demonstrated with me, “I was the one who stayed with Cameron all those days!”
I didn’t say anything, just clutched the blanket tightly.
She paused and said, “Laura, why don’t we get this straight. I know Cameron cares about you, or else he wouldn’t have used his private jet to look for you all over the world. But even if he cares about you, he can only do it as a brother!”
There was a sudden buzz in my ears, as if something had exploded.
I stared at her incredulously.
She laughed, grinning in a triumphant, extraordinarily cheerful manner.
“Get some rest.” She walked out of the cabin, “I’m going to go stay with Cameron.”
I sat by the window in a daze.
Outside were layers of clouds that joined together like a white desert.
The fear in my heart was also as if it was rising in this high altitude. This panic was no less than falling into a hole and hovering on the edge of life and death.
She knows …
She knows everything!
The story would probably spread quickly.
And Cameron and I, would be exposed to all the spotlights, would be the center of attention for the whole world, the butt of everyone’s jokes.
After the plane lands, I lock myself in my hotel room. It was the best five-star hotel in the desert area, with all the amenities and conditions, and I had someone to take care of me and accompany me wherever I went.
But the only thing I don’t have is Cameron’s attention.
He stayed in the same hotel as me, but didn’t talk to me and went in and out with Fryday every day. Soon the rumor spread, and the media went crazy with rumors that Cameron was courting Fryday, flying her around the desert in his private jet.
I watched the news every day, as if there were countless thorns in my heart.
I took a leave of absence from the production on the pretext that I wasn’t feeling well. There is only one last set of shots left, and it won’t take much time to focus on them. The director told me to get well first.
But lying in the hotel every day is not an option.
So I went back to the desert alone. When I fell into the hole, although I was wearing a costume, I had my cell phone with me. My cell phone must still be in that hole, and I wanted to get it back.
I wrapped myself in a bandana, put on my sunglasses, and rode the bus to the desert area like the locals.
At the end of the day when I was the only one left on the bus, the kind driver asked me, “What are you doing in the desert? It’s dangerous to go alone, do you want me to accompany you?”
“No need.” I smiled gratefully, “Thank you.”
“It’s easy to get lost!”
“I’ve been here once, I won’t get lost!”
The driver shook his head helplessly and drove the bus back. I took a few steps forward before realizing that I had really just talked a big game. The surrounding vast desert, the same sky, the same yellow sand.
I couldn’t even tell south-east from north-west, and I was bragging about it?
Just when I was at a loss, an SUV stopped in front of me.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The windows came down, and in the car was Cameron’s cold side face.
My heart fluttered.
His low, husky voice rang out, “What are you doing here again?”
I muffled, “I have something to do.”
He jumped out of the car and came to me.
I meet his angry eyes and he scolds me harshly, “Laura, is there something wrong with you? You almost lost your life here last time, have you forgotten? What are you doing here this time!”
My temper and tears welled up, “What do you care what I do here? Anyway, you have Fryday with you now, what am I going to do, do you still care?”
“Heh, you’re good at being evil!” He sneered, “Backwards!”
“I didn’t.” I wipe away my tears.
I ignored him and continued on to the desert area.
“Laura!” he stepped forward and grabbed me hard.
“You let go!” I looked at him, “Cameron, leave me alone … I’m here for something really!”
“What is it that you can’t tell me? Another date with Rafael to ride camels in the desert?”
I swung a slap across his face.
His face suddenly changed and he stared at me silently, like a wolf waiting for an opportunity.
I was flustered too, not expecting to act like that. I looked at him timidly, and my hand involuntarily touched the side of his face, “Yes … sorry, does it hurt?”
He violently held my wrist.
“Go back with me.”
“Cameron …”
His aura was irrefutable. “Go back with me!”
He’s incredibly strong, and in a couple of moves, he shoves me into the car and drops the locks.
“Let me down!” I screamed hysterically.
“You be quiet!” He yelled, “What the hell do you want? What don’t you have to be satisfied with! Laura, be content!”
“How dare I be dissatisfied?” I looked at him, “I came out on my own today, I didn’t dare to bother anyone! And I don’t know how you followed me out …”
Cameron didn’t say another word, his brow furrowed as he silently started the car.
I pressed down hard on his hands on the steering wheel.
“I’m getting out of the car!”
“Laura are you out of your mind!” He snapped, “What’s so great about the desert? Are you going on a treasure hunt!”
“I lost my cell phone in that hole! I’m going to get it back!”
“Nuts!” He cursed indignantly.
“Cameron …”
“There are dozens of dust storms a day in the desert, not to mention that hole was buried a long time ago, and even if you find it, are you going to fall in it again?”
Cameron glared hard at me, gritting his teeth, “Don’t say a word from now on or I’ll strangle you right now!”
He turned off the engine and sat in his seat with his arms wrapped around his body, panting heavily one at a time.
The huffing and puffing on his face hadn’t gone away, his whole face seemed to be covered by dark clouds, and the knots between his eyebrows were getting deeper and deeper.
He had never been this angry with me before.
I was silent, quietly bowing my head as the tears fell. I thought a lot in that moment of silence, a wave of the past rushing into my head.
Outside the car is an endless blue sky, white clouds and yellow sand.
It was as if we were the only two people left between the vastness of heaven and earth.
I turned my head to look at him, a moment I want to completely own him … I suddenly kissed him on the lips, he froze, eyes wide open, hand on my waist just want to push me away when I pressed the whole person up.
I kept kissing him.
Forehead, sideburns, high nose, knife-like chin … his neck, solid chest, flat belly …
I took the initiative to undress him, caressing every inch of his skin, he quickly moved, violently rolled over and pressed me underneath, and we intertwined with each other, from intense to gentle, and from gentle to intense, over and over again tirelessly.
My whole body floated up, as if walking in the clouds, he took me into a colorful country … psychedelic, gorgeous, warm, in front of my eyes suddenly bloomed fireworks, I can not help but release all the enthusiasm …
I realized that doing this with my favorite person was so beautiful.
Afterwards I lay in his arms. His chest sweaty and sticky, my fingers gently draw circles on it.
His skin was a particularly nice wheat color.
“What are you doing.” He grinned and grabbed my hand, placing it on his lips and kissing it lightly. “That tickles!”
“Cameron,” I whispered, “Any idea why I had to get that phone back?”
“You’re rich.” He rambled, “Ever since I was a kid, you’ve been stingy, and you refuse to replace anything that doesn’t need to be scrapped!”
“So that’s how you feel?” I frowned and whined in a small voice, “You don’t know anything about …”
He laughed softly, “What’s that?”
“Because there are memories of us in the cell phone …” my voice gradually sank, “There are so many pictures in there, I didn’t even want to delete them … but they’re all There is no backup.”
For a long time, he said softly, “Throw it away, the past will never come back.”
He got up and organized his clothes, and draped his jacket over me. I felt desolate inside and reached out my arms around him, tears welling up in my eyes.
“Cameron, I thought I was going to die when I fell into that hole. It really … was especially cold at night in the desert, and I was almost unconscious. But while in a trance, I thought I saw you.”
He raised his hand to touch my hair.
I continued, “My mind was full of you. I realized that the only person who means the most to you is the one who comes to mind when it’s a matter of life and death. Just like once in Alcostan, when the war was all over the place, you were all I could think about then too …”
“Cameron,” I looked at him and licked my lips, working up the courage to say the words, “Let’s start over!”
His eyes lit up, but quickly darkened. He looked at me quietly, as if he had a thousand words to say.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, the sound of the car starting buzzing in his ears.
All he said was, “I’ll take you back.”
We were speechless the whole way.
I secretly looked at his side face, I couldn’t tell if he was happy or angry, I only felt that he was like a piece of ice, cold and refusing to let people in.
The last few shots went off without a hitch, and because of the thrill of the last time, the director was extra careful this time, preferring to add more budget for special effects, rather than letting me take the risk again.
Once we got back to Jerez State, it was time for the promotional campaign to begin in earnest.
Cameron and I hadn’t seen each other in the meantime. But the scene from that day, lingering between the blue sky and yellow sand, always haunted me.
I made an important decision to announce at this press conference that I had a boyfriend and quit acting.
I thought it would be fine as long as I didn’t reveal that the person was Cameron, and that I didn’t have to care what people guessed since I was quitting anyway. However just before the press conference, Fryday found his way backstage.
I had already finished my makeup and when I looked up I saw in the mirror that she was standing behind me.
“There’s a couple things I’d like to talk to you about alone.” She tickled the corners of her mouth lightly, “Would you mind if you asked all your assistants to step back for a moment?”
I paused and gave a wink to my agent.
The agent immediately led his assistants out and Fryday and I were the only ones left in the dressing room.
Fryday’s eyes focused on my left ring finger.
“Quite pretty.” She hummed lightly, “But that’s not a big diamond!”
“Cameron gave it to me once upon a time.” I smiled, “It’s not a big diamond, but it’s a rare pink diamond, flown in straight from South Africa. Just this one is also worth a fortune!”
Fryday blushed and sneered, “Are you planning to tell the media that in a while?”
“Will say so.” I don’t deny it, “But I won’t name Cameron.”
“You think everything will be fine if you don’t say his name, Laura, you’re so childish!”
