Behind the Lens (Sexy 1)

“Listen, you are just hung up on her right now. We all love what we do; you don’t mean that. You need to take a step away from her for a while. Let her sort shit out herself. I think we need a guys’ night out.” Blake looks at me and smirks. “Just

the guys.” I laugh and shake my head.

“Fuck off. I agree. We need a night to just go out and get drunk. What do you think, Max? We’ll get everyone and hit up Ecstasy maybe next weekend? I just need to find out what day I have a shoot.” I’m hoping Brinley will still be doing the shoot for Kallie’s sake.

“Yea, you’re right. It’s not worth it. Let her go fuck up her career, and we will go get fucked up.” Blake gives him a pound, and I just nod my head. I don’t even know how I feel about the whole situation, but I think him getting fucked up to forget her is probably not the best idea.

“Jax, can you come here?” I turn to Kallie’s voice and nod.

“I’ll be back.” Max sticks out his hand and pulls me in for a quick hug.

“I’m out, man, I’ll talk to you this week to figure out the weekend.” I agree and go into the house to look for Kallie. I find her in my room sitting on the bed. When I close the door, she looks up at me.

“What’s up, baby?” I sit down next to her and pull her into my arms.

“I need to be with Brinley right now. She’s a mess.” I kiss the top of her head and rub her arms. She still has the towel wrapped around her, as do I. It makes me wish we could go back in time to the enjoyable part of the night.

“I figured you would. Did she say what happened?” She looks up at me and frowns.

“She slept with Josh, and he posted something on his Facebook page, not with her name, but she knows it was about her. After Max said that to her, well, you saw, she lost her shit. Now she’s terrified this will be it for her career.” She shakes her head. “Do you have any idea how many times I’ve told her that one day she’s going to sleep with the wrong guy and fuck it all up? Now look. I feel bad for her, but at the same time, I want to yell at her for not listening to me.” I kiss her lips and lie her back on the bed so I’m on top of her.

“Kallie, you’re a good friend. There is nothing you can do now but be one. Have her get in touch with her PA, and hopefully, she can run interference.” I kiss her again, and she deepens it, making me want to strip her and have her ride my cock. She pulls away too quickly and smiles at me.

“I need to go. I’ll call you later.” I stand up to allow her to, and when she does, she looks down at herself.

“Oh shit, I need to go grab my clothes.” She goes to leave but I stop her.

“I’ll get them. You probably want to take off your wet bra and panties, and it’s best I’m not here to witness that. If I am, you’ll never leave.” She laughs, and I wink as I close the door behind me. I make my way to the sliding door and push it open. I walk out and stop dead in my tracks. You have got to be fucking kidding me. Blake has Brinley on his lap with his hands up her shirt, Jackie is kissing Brinley, and Nora is kissing Blake. I walk a little closer, and get more pissed the closer I get. Kallie is inside worried about Brinley, Max is ready to kick the shit out of Josh for Brinley, and Blake knows Max is into her. These two don’t give a fuck about anyone but themselves. “Brinley, good to see you are over it. Blake, good to see you take your own advice.” Brinley hops off his lap and adjusts her shirt, while Jackie and Nora just sit on either side of him. “I came out here to get Kallie’s clothes because she’s worried sick about you, ready to rush home and spend the night helping you, and you’re out here trying to fuck Blake now?” She covers her face and starts to cry. I don’t give a fuck. I’m so pissed. “And you, you’re an asshole and a horrible friend.” I head to the hot tub to grab Kallie’s clothes, and Blake chases after me.

“Jax, that’s not fair. They all came onto me.” I shake my head and pick up both of our clothes.

“That’s great defense, Blake.” I head to the door and turn around, looking at them all. “You all have three minutes to get the fuck out of here before I tell Kallie exactly what I just saw.” I go inside and slam the door closed.

What the fuck am I going to tell Kallie? She’s ready to get out of here to help Brinley. I’m so pissed off at both of them for being so selfish. Fuck it, she can explain this herself. I go back to my room, walk in, and close the door. Kallie is sitting on the bed, playing on her phone, wrapped in the towel. She looks up and gives me a tight smile. “I wish I never worked with him. He really is a cocky son of a bitch. He’s all over social media saying he’s tired of women treating him like a piece of meat, and he just wants to do him right now before finding Miss Right.” She shakes her head and looks back down at her phone.

“Baby, get off of there. You are just going to drive yourself crazy.” She tosses her phone onto the bed and stands up.

“You’re right. I need to get dressed and go be with Brinley anyway. She’s waiting for me.” I clear my throat, and she looks at me. “What?” I take her hand and squeeze.

“She left.” Her eyes get wide, and she rushes to her phone.

“Why the fuck would she leave? Fuck, I wasted too much time in here. She probably just wanted to get out of here. Her heart is breaking, and I’m in here discussing it all with you instead of her.” I’m already in a pissy mood, and this isn’t helping.

“Kallie, it had nothing to do with that, I promise you.” She has her phone pressed to her ear, and she’s pacing the room.

“Fuck.” She dials her again and starts pacing. “Fuck. Hey Brin, it’s me. Call me back.” She clutches the phone in her hands and looks at me. “Damn it, Jax. Now she’s ignoring me. She’s probably pissed I didn’t just leave and had to come find you. It can’t always be about us. I need to remember I have friends too.” She tries calling again, and my pulse is beating frantically. “No answer. I’m going to look for her.” She goes to take her clothes from me, and I throw them on the bed. I’m pissed. I can’t help it. She’s blaming me when it’s Brinley who is the asshole here. She looks at me with daggers in her eyes. “What the fuck?” I move closer to her and she backs up.

“You want to know why Brinley left?” She doesn’t know how to take me right now, but she nods her head anyway. “Good. I walk outside to get your clothes so you can help your friend through this difficult time, and I see her sitting on Blake’s lap. Brinley and your other two friends were all making out with Blake.” She widens her eyes and shakes her head. “Oh yes, that is exactly what I saw. I was pissed that you were in here worried for your friend, and she’s out there doing that shit with Blake. I told them all to get the fuck out of my house. Now, by all means, if you want to go chase after her . . . go.” I throw on a pair of gym shorts and walk out the door, slamming it behind me. I go out back and light a cigarette before pacing the patio.

“Jax, let me try to explain.” I look over at Blake, whom I didn’t even notice, sitting at the table with his head in his hands.

“I think right now it’s best you don’t. I’m pissed at you, and now I’m fighting with Kallie. It’s not the best time.” I take a drag and blow the smoke out, watching it lift into the air.

“She was crying when I came back here. I went over to check on her, and I swear to you, she’s the one that sat on my lap. She started kissing her friend.” I spin around and look at him.

“And she put your hands on her tits? She forced you to kiss her other friend?” He looks up at me, looking defeated.

“What the fuck do you want me to say? Yea, I got turned on watching them make out, so I copped a feel and kissed her friend. In hindsight, I see how fucked up it was, but I wasn’t thinking, my dick was in control.” I go over to him and slam my hands down on the table, the smoke from my cigarette rising between us.
