The Playboy’s Play Toy

Chapter 10- My girl

I was busy resting and relaxing when my phone rang. I took it from the mirror table and check. It was Rhoda. I clicked the green button and rested it on the mirror before opening the video cam. I saw Rhoda on the hospital bed with Ricky playing on his phone.

“Hey there, lady, how was it?” Rhoda asked me.

Huffing as I smiled, “Great, they just left, and I am resting here. Aunt Flow came to visit me this morning…” I answered as I massaged my temple.

“Oh, shoot, how are you feeling now?” I saw Rhoda’s face furrowed.  She knew me very well when it’s the time of the month.

“Better, just took a pill this morning, so far it’s working now, but I’m fine,” I smilingly replied, “How’s my little boy down there?” I asked, eyeing brown curly hair little boy snuggling next to her. The same crown he got from his mom’s, making Ricky looked handsome.

Ricky’s face showed up on my screen, “I’m fine, auntie Mia. I am doing great. I miss you and love you!” he sweetly said to me.

“Aww…..I miss you, my little boyfriend. Feel better, okay? And please, if you didn’t feel good, let your mom and dad know, yes?” I reminded him.

Rhoda mentioned in her private messaged that her husband had no idea about their son's sickness yesterday. But according to Ricky, the little boy was terrified to tell he was pooping a lot.

“I will, my beautiful girlfriend, aunty Mia!” Ricky kidded.

“Perfect, my darling,” I said in awe before once more wincing in pain as I felt another throb in my tummy,

“I’m not going to keep you, love,” Rhoda then said to me. I’m pretty sure she caught my face, “Take time to rest. I know Francine would only have two or three scenes before the pool act, so It would be fine, as long as Kim is with you, Chill, okay? Love you,” Rhoda advised.

I smilingly nodded, “I will, and Yes! Kim is an angel,” I added, “Anyways, I got to go and check them. Bye! Love you,” I bade before hanging up her call.

I took my phone and put it in my jeans pocket. I knew how hot it would be outside and glad that I wore enough clothing by wearing a red plaid shirt on top of my tank. My period won’t stop me from working my daily grind, so I decided to do what I told Rhoda. I got to check Kim and perhaps watch Francine as well.

“Go, Mia!” cheering myself as I huffed. I stood up abruptly, which I knew I shouldn’t have done because my vision went fuzzy. It wobbled my knees but lucky enough to take a grip on the armchair. I was inhaling sharply when “f**k” I cussed.

My luck didn’t stay long since the chair swiveled and moved. “s**t!” I screamed again as I knew I was about to fall and plant my face on the floor. But that didn’t happen when I felt two strong arms caught me.

“Are you okay, Mia?” The familiar voice asked. ‘The hell?’ I slowly opened my eyes to check if I was right. It soon split wide to see who it was.

“T…theon? What the f**k are you doing here?”  I yelped.

He didn’t answer me. Instead, he guided me back on the chair to sit. “Here, take this,” he said, as I looked at his firm hand holding a bottle of water. I grabbed it, twisted the cap, and gulped the rest of it while my eyes were still glowering at him in disbelief.

I placed down the bottle on the table without removing my eyes away from him. I was grimacing and frowning in suspicion. ‘How did he come here, and why is he here?’ I inwardly asked myself.

“Why are you here?” I frankly asked while staring at his ocean light orbs and thick dark brows.

“It’s hot outside, and I found out my girl’s tent is freezing, so I took the liberty to chill and cool down myself.” He casually answered.

He was right, it's freezing, but I scowled again. 'My Girl?’ I hope he isn’t pertaining to me. Not of course,’ I inwardly asked once more. I saw Theon smirked, showing off his face deformity called dimples.

“Well, Yes, you are one actually, and Francine is the other one,” he proudly answered, chuckling.

‘The f**k, Mia!’ 

I didn’t realize I blurted my questions out loud. My face felt warm and tingling. I was too embarrassed that I prayed the ground to open and swallow me whole.

“How are you?” He sweetly asked, but I ignored him as I didn’t want to add more awkwardness, plus I haven't recovered from mortification.

“I got to go,” I calmly told, standing up again, but he stopped me.

Overtowering me from my seat, “No, you’re not going outside. It’s too hot, and didn’t you hear what your friend said? Take a rest.” Theon laughingly said,

My slender brows furrowed as I glared at him. For the nth time of the day. ‘Is he here with me all the time I was talking to Rhoda?’

“I was here actually even before the call,” Theon answered out of the blue, but I was aware this time I didn’t say out loud my inward thoughts.

“I didn’t know you were such a nosy man,” I sneered, slowly standing up, “Move! I got to check them...” pushing him using my forearm to his hard, sculpted abs.

“You’re stubborn, aren’t you?” he teasingly asked, not budging away.

Pushing him harder to step back, “Yes, I am, so please get out of my way, Mr. Carter,” I hissed, finally standing in front of him.

Theon stepped forward again, cornering me between him and the chair. His rigid muscular chest was closer and just inches from me. I slowly balked myself away as I sensed the warmth his body was emitting, making me feel uncomfortable.

Theon stared down at me like a giant as he towered me. He then held and stroke my right arm gently, making my stomach churn for whatever reason this time.

“What are you doing?” I asked as I nudged my head up. ‘How he can be f*****g taller every time we face each other.’

“Rest, you’re shark week is bad, don’t make it worst,” he coolly said to me in his alluring deep voice, turning me turn beet-red for some reason. Period problems were one of the most awkward topics to talk about with men, but he seemed to know its vocabulary.

“Whatever,” I sneered, sending him a sullen look. But instead of giving care, Theon gave me a smug chuckle.

“Come on,” he said, “Well, we are lucky it is not baby, though,” he sniggering added,

Rolling my eyes, “f**k off, Theon… I need to go and check  them, so get out of m….” But before I could finish the words, the loud knocks on the door diverted our attention, taking my opportunity to move away from him and dashed towards the door before it opened.

It was Chana, Francine’s personal assistant. I can imagine the trouble if she caught Theon and me in a compromising position. So I got out and shut the door closed, leaving him puzzled.

I was fuming and, at the same time, embarrassed. Theon had the audacity to sneak on me and tried to charm me with his pretty face. Theon’s expression, especially those eyes and his to die for thick brows, which was bushier than mine, that I still envy, was luring me.

 “Ugh!” I puffed, “Cheeky bastard!”

I strolled towards the location set, where I watched Francine doing her enigmatic acting. She was indeed a star, and I no wonder now how she got the hottest role in the new series. Her performance was precise, and I could say that she knew what she was doing in the scene.

“Why are you here?” I heard a voice whispered behind me. I turned my head and saw Kim.

“Hey,” I smiled, “I wanted to see her,” I added, hushing, we are far from the main scene, but he got to stay quiet while the shoot was ongoing.

“She’s perfect, right?” Kim whispered again,

“Yup,” I agreed, “I came here because…” then I paused as I noticed Chana coming towards us. Her dark eyes were glaring at me as if I stole her candy. I wasn't guilty about what occurred inside the tent, and nothing happened that she should worry about.

I saw her walked away when she sensed that I was glaring back at her. My eyes followed where she went, and I saw her called one of the film crew members. I shrugged my thoughts since I knew she wasn’t that important to me.

My tummy ache had lessened, and it gave me temporary relief and, at the same time, the power to do retouching and fixing Francine’s makeup. However, the director gave us a short break, and before I was able to fix her face, she excused herself when her assistant Chana whispered something to her.

The tent was far from where we at so they decided to go inside the house to talk privately. The film crew prepared our snack, so Kim and I had a break time as well. We sat inside her car and ate the sandwich and drinks they provided us.

“So I guess Francine is Mighty Theon’s flavor of the month,” Kim suddenly said, removing the sandwich wrap.

Smirking, “Well, Theon said she was,” I agreed, remembering his remarks about my most embarrassing moment earlier.

Wide eyes staring at me, “Oh, did he tell you? When?” Kim asked. I saw how surprised she was about my answer, “I saw him going to Francine’s tent earlier. Did you speak with him?” she added with excitement etched on her face.

I calmly nodded, “I mean, I saw him heading inside and asked for Francine,” I lied, “He was looking for his girl….” I added before biting my sandwich, looking at Kim, yet suddenly I saw her face twitched and brow arched.

“Liar!” she blurted,

“I’m not lying!” I guiltily refuted,

“No! Not you! Him!” Kim laughingly said,

My mouth hung open as I wait for Kim’s explanation. “Ahh?…”

Shaking her head, “He greeted Francine before he went to her tent!” Kim divulged, “That manwhore, I think he made it up just to talk to you…” she thoughtfully added,

Kim’s words sent shivers on my skin. Although, of course, it was a lie, yet there was truth in her words about Theon talking with me.

“I don’t entertain a person like him in my life,” I defensively assured Kim before taking a big bite on the sandwich,

Giggling, “Of course you don’t!” Kim agreed before sipping her coke, “And I don’t think you would want him to be part of your life, that man had bedded half of the actresses and crews in Ava entertainment,” she detailed to me like a matter of fact,

Soon as Kim stated those words, I choked on my food. “f**k!” I yelled, thumping my chest.

Kim aided me quickly as I gasped from the shock. Not from the food choking but about bedding women. I knew I belong now to his digits, and it was a fact. Although it was a one-night stand type of thing, well, it didn't suit still since there was money involved.

“Are you okay?” Kim worriedly asked me,

I nodded as I gulped the lump in my throat, “Yup,” I mumbled, “Let's finish this quickly and go back there soon,” I added as I heaved deeply, shrugging my thoughts away.

“Okay...” Kim justly agreed.

We did what I suggested right away, and in no time, we were back on the set and working our job.
