Chapter 1703 The Kissing Scene And with that, she fell asleep in Louieâs 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, âYouâre up?â
âThank you,â 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. âIâve got scenes to do today. Why donât you go back instead?â 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. âIâll accompany you while you do your scenes. If youâre scared at night, you can sleep with your arms around me.â
Evaâs pretty face reddened slightly. In a soft voice, she uttered, âSuit yourself.â
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 sheâd 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 Jessieâs character was intent on getting away from Julianâs 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. âIâm not staying here unless you kill me and keep my dead body around you!â With that, she attempted to flee.
Vincent shouted, âCut! That was good. Now letâs move on to the next scene where Julian grabs Jessieâs throat and forces her to look up as he kisses her. Come on, get in your positions.â
Jessieâs cheeks were already looking as though theyâd been colored with rouge. Pursing her lips for a moment, she looked at the man opposite her before saying as if begging for mercy, âGo easy on me, okay?â
Julianâs lips curled upward into a mischievous smile. âIâll try as much as I can.â
As soon as Vincent shouted the word âAction!â Jessieâs 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.
Jessieâs 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 lipsâ¦
âCut! Letâs do it again,â Vincent ordered, upon which Julian let go of her while breathing heavily.
Jessieâs face reddened again; she put up her hands over it.
Seeing the situation, Vincent promptly said to the assistant director, âCome on, Timmy, clear the set.â
Consequently, all the crew members and actors who didnât 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 couldnât 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 pairâs makeup. Suppressing the urge to laugh, Jessie stood up, but as soon as she saw Julian across from her, she couldnât help laughing; for a time, she laughed so uncontrollably that she couldnât stop. Vincent even teased her as he looked on, saying, âCalm down for a moment, Jessie. I know being kissed by Julian makes you so happy that you want to laugh, but letâs finish this scene first, okay?â
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.
