Page 89 of Love's Most Wanted
Today was my first day on the set ofThe Players,and I couldn’t have been more excited. I’d never done makeup for a film, but I did a lot of research from the time I got the email to be sure I knewsomething.
I was amazing at what I did, so by saying that, I could adapt to new styles, trends, or other fields pretty easily, so long as I wasn’t doing anything with special effects.
“Welcome, Kabrina.” A white woman with pretty, blonde hair approached. “I’m Destiny, and I’m kind of like your assistant. I work on set, but anything you need specifically, just let me know.”
“Okay. Thank you.” I took the bag she handed me.
“That has your badge, walkie, and everything else you need.” She walked fast as hell, and it was hard to keep up in heels. “Let me show you to your area and then your private room.”
Destiny did just that, then let me know I could chill for a bit until it was time to meet the cast and then the other makeup artists.
A knock sounded off, and before I could say a word, Unique came in.
“Damn, boss.” He scoured the private room with his eyes as he approached me, making me stand. His hands gravitated to my ass as I giggled.
“Uh uh.” I shook my head, moving his hands from my ass and trying to pry his heavenly mouth from my neck.
“I’ll be quick. I ain’t worked up my fucking stamina yet when it come to you. You know that.” He kissed me, then trailed his mouth back to my neck, making me moan a little bit. “Real shit, KK, I want some pussy.” He got serious.
I felt my resolve melting, but thank God Destiny knocked on the door and came in. Unfortunately, Unique didn’t stop.
“Oh, I can come back.” She shielded her eyes.
“Yeah, come back,” Unique called out.
“No, Destiny. I’m ready.” I peeled his arms off me. More like he let me, because he was too strong for me to do that.
I laughed at his groaning and shit talking as I made my way toward Destiny, who I could see was a bit on edge, not knowing if Unique was seriously upset and gonna get her fired somehow.
“Really, I can come back,” she said, confirming my suspicions.
“No. I promise it’s fine, and he’s fine.” I nudged him, but he just held the door open for us both, begrudgingly gesturing for us to leave out.
Destiny introduced me to the cast, both men and women. Then I was given a sheet to go over so I could know what look to provide for the ladies. The men were simple touch-ups to mask any blemishes or anything that would distract the viewer while the women needed actual looks.
“Hi, I’m Johnnie. I don’t think we’ve met.” A pretty girl walked up, and I recognized her name from the sheet I was looking at.
“No, we didn’t.” I smiled.
“Sorry I was late. I had another job on the other side of town.” She sat down in the chair near my vanity.
“I see. Well, nice to meet you. I’m Kabrina, so I’m gonna be doing your makeup for certain scenes.”
“Oh, okay! You look like you do good makeup, so I’m excited!” She beamed just as Unique approached.
“’Bout to do a quick read-through.” He kissed me and then nodded to Johnnie who watched the entire thing with her lips parted.
“Are you with Unique?” Her brows dipped, and I noticed her sizing me up. I then also remembered she would be Unique’s love interest in the movie.
“I am.” I nodded.
“Hmph.” She looked in the mirror, fluffing her tattered weave. No way she’d just come from another job unless it was a damn fight scene. “You’re a strong woman to have a man that looks like that and has to have sensual scenes with other women.”
I nodded, reminding myself I needed to stay professional, especially since my man’s neck was on the line.
“I mean, I am strong, but I’m not insecure. It’s a job for him.”
“Yeah, I’m sure Jennifer Aniston thought the same thing aboutMr. & Mrs. Smith.” She giggled, relaxing into the chair while eying me like I was a child who knew nothing. “It’s not uncommon for costars to fall for each other, and Unique and I will be working very closely for the next few months.” She leaned in like she had a secret and continued. “Not sure if you know this, but our storyline is that we bond over sex and realize we actually like one another.” She lifted her brows joyfully.
