11: Do they see the danger ?

*Zara*
It is actually quite exciting being on a real movie set and seeing everything. But Dean is here and he has been trailing along, until Joel shows up, pulling him away. I can see that they have some kind of discussion, both casting a glance at me once in a while.
Joel is the smart one here. I have no doubt that he is telling Dean to stay away from me, to watch out. And he is so right, that is what he should do, what he needs to do.
But I don't understand what he is doing to me, what is happening to me. Why am I getting this warm fuzzy feeling every time I see him and when our eyes lock I feel like I am falling.
Shortly after he catches up to us again. He doesn't say anything, he just falls in, walking beside me behind Imad and Scott.
Suddenly I feel his fingers grace my hand ever so lightly. The touch sends little jolts up through my arm and I glance at him.
I wish with all my heart that I could be married to a man like him. Then my life would probably have been much more enjoyable. But it just isn't a possibility. I mean first of all I am already married, and he is also a foreigner.
When I step away from him, so he can't reach my hand any longer, I hear him sigh. And when we walk on I realise that he has stayed behind, watching me leave. This is for the best… for both of us.
*Dean*
I am looking at her as she walks away. I know this is how it needs to be. That this is the only way. But it still hurts.
I had been unable to stop myself from touching her hand. Her husband and Scott had their backs turned and were not paying any attention to us, they wouldn't see. It had sent sparks flying up through my arm.
But she had moved away from my touch and I know she did the right thing, the smart thing. I am happy she is capable of doing what I am not.
Oh how I wish I could have met her under different circumstances. That I could have been able to get to know her without risking both of our lives.
I honestly just hope I am strong enough to stay away from her or that at least she is able to turn me away if my self-control cave in again.
I need to go get ready for filming, so I head for the makeup department, hoping this will help me pry her from my mind. Yes, I am a weak man.
*Joel*
I am wondering if I should do something. I could call his sister or father or maybe talk to the producers. But I am afraid it will get Dean pulled from the movie and sent back to America in disgrace.
Am I ready to cost my best friend this big role in what is expected to be movie of the year ? A role that can end up earning him an Oscar nomination. No, I just can't do that unless it is unavoidable.
At least Zara seems to have realised how badly this could go. I saw how she pulled away when Dean touched her hand. Hopefully she will do the same if they are alone.
Not that I like seeing him in pain and feeling rejected, but for both of their safety it is how it needs to be.
*Nara*
I have known Zara since she was a new born baby. I am probably by far the one who knows her best and I love her like she is my own daughter or granddaughter.
And I have seen a change in her over this last week, ever since that Americans arrived. I have a strong suspicion it has everything to do with a certain tall dark haired actor with warm hazel eyes and a very pretty smile.
I truly wish Zara could have a man like that. I have been talking to him several times and he is a good man, a very caring man and oh so handsome to look at on top of it. Unfortunately Zara is already married to that old jerk Imad and he is very possessive of his young beautiful wife.
I just hope these two won't get themselves into trouble, because it is clear to say it will be hard for them to stay away from each other, so trouble is a very real possibility. I do not want to see her hurt.
