COVER SPELL by T.A. Foster
Whew! I didn’t remember New Orleans
being this hot on my last trip. I pulled my shirt away from my chest and fanned
myself. The sun scorched my skin. I looked around for a cold drink.
“Cut! Cut! Cut!” The director’s voice boomed overhead.
“You’ve got this all wrong. Let’s take a break and start over in thirty minutes.”
The mob holding lights, microphones, and fans scurried like ants in all
directions.
I jumped up from my seat, and made a dash for the drink cart
tucked under one of the few umbrellas on the set. I let my hand linger a little
too long in the ice bucket of sodas.
“Darlin’, you need some help cooling off?” The deep sexy
voice and Texas drawl ebbed over my ears like a slow wave.
Startled, I pulled my hand out of the ice bucket,
and with it, a Diet Coke. I laughed. “Yes, you caught me. I didn’t know
it was going to be so hot today.”
He laughed and reached in front of me to grab a water, his
arm barely grazing my stomach. “I take it you’re not used to being on a movie
set? We’re in for the long haul today, darlin’.” He twisted the cap off
the water bottle and chugged the sixteen ounces.
I watched him wipe the water off his full lips. “That
obvious? Yeah, it’s my first time. I’m Ivy. Ivy Grace.” I smiled at the tall
actor who had me smitten about five movies ago.
“The writer? I know who you are. I was just waiting for the
director to yell ‘cut’ so I could walk over and say howdy to you.” His
perfectly white teeth peeked through his lips.
I was smitten just a little bit more. It was the combination
of the Texas accent and the perfect-teeth smile. He had warm gray-green eyes
that lit up when he smiled. I liked the way he paused between his words and
wasn’t afraid to look into my eyes, even if we were only talking about the
weather.
The sweat trickling down the back of my neck was my cue to
step away from the drink cart and America’s heartthrob, and perform a
quick outfit change.
“Well, it was nice to meet you, Evan.” I wiped the palm of
my hand off on my hip and held it out to him.
His hand clasped around mine. “Nice to meet you, Ivy.
Catch you around?”
“Of course, looking forward to it.”
“Stay
cool.”
