What about Pakistani butterflies?
Chapter 28
Valerie’s POV
Harry has already gone to work. I have been smiling at him as a lovebird all morning long and I have been feeling on cloud nine since we had sex. Jesus Christ, I’m falling as an idiot for him and to be honest I don’t care. I know I probably shouldn’t but I can’t help it and I’m not going to fight against it. It has been so long since I don’t feel that thing on the pit of my stomach when I have sex with someone. It is not what I felt when I made love with Doug but it is not just sex with some dude. It’s sex with Harry and it feels great.
He hasn’t said he liked it though but I remember he asked me if I saw what I did to him and that made me so stupidly happy. I hope he liked it as much as I did because I want to have sex with him every single night for these three weeks that we still have together.
Okay, it seems that I can’t find my blue bracelet I bought in Italy with Doug but then I remember I gave it to baby Lux. Man is she sweet! I don’t have to get to set until six since we are shooting the evening and night scenes today and I’d go rehearse with Louis but he is at this meeting with Hazz so I’ll just do some exercise and maybe clean my room a little bit. Then I hear my phone in the kitchen and go running to answer it. I don’t know the number.
-Hey, it’s Valerie Veneel. Who am I talking to?
-Hey, Valerie. It’s Louise; Harry’s stylist.
-Sure, I know who you are Lou! What’s up? I’m so happy you called!
-Everything is good and I took your number from Harry and...Are you busy today?
-I have to work but I need to be at set at six so until then I’m free. Are you thinking of hanging out or this is some professional calling or something?
-No, I was just wondering whether you wanted to go with me to the mall and buy some stuff and maybe have lunch together and, you know, get to know each other a little bit.
-Yes, I’d love to.
We say we will meet at the mall an hour from now so I have a shower and get ready and then I drive to the mall. I find Louise in denim dungarees, hair worn up in a messy bun and sunglasses. She looks nice. She greets me sweetly and then we do our shopping and chat about this and that and laugh our asses out. She is funny but we don’t mess with anyone. It’s just me and her making fun of everything. When I’m on the fitter room of American Eagle I think how much I have gotten along with Louise. I mean I have always liked her but I never thought she was going to be this funny and chill out. After AE we go have lunch at a restaurant at the mall.
-Hey, Val, the last time I was here I was with Harry and Paul and Paul almost died drinking water. – She says laughing and I laugh along. – Harry got so worried while I just laughed. I laugh when I’m nervous.
-Harry gets worried easily, doesn’t he? – I ask her laughing slightly.
-He cares about people, quite simply. He is a nice guy.
-He is. – I tell her bringing my fork to my mouth.
-You know, at first I liked you so much for him. Then I didn’t like you and now I like you back! – She says celebrating the fact that she likes me. I laugh.
-Why wouldn’t you like me? What did I do?
-You hooked up with some dude and left Harry. I didn’t like to see him in that situation but then you guys fix it. I’m happy for you two.
-Thank you, Louise. I’m the first to regret that to be honest but I would never say that. Well, I have already said that but it’s the first and last time I do. – I laugh and she laughs along.
-The best thing about you two is that you are to each other exactly what the other needs. You don’t want a real boyfriend and Harry doesn’t want a real girlfriend but you both can use some affection. It’s great you can give it to each other.
-Isn’t it? We are lucky.
We keep on having lunch and then we have a walk along the promenade and she tells me about Tom, about how it is like to be a mom and about life on tour and everything. She admits to me she is sort of worried because she doesn’t know how this whole tour thing is going to affect baby Lux and she is afraid she is going to have to leave her at home when Lux is a bit older and go on tour with the lads without her family. She is sweet so I comfort her and try to tell her that first of all I’m sure baby Lux is having a great childhood and that in case she has to leave her behind sometime, she will manage.
When we were talking about Jimmy Fallon’s little daughter, random I know, this perfume company called me to offer me to be the image of a new perfume by Roberto Cavalli. They said Simon Nessman gave them my number and only then I know what they are talking about. I gladly accept because they tell me they are shooting the commercial at El Matador Beach which is here in Los Angeles so that’s great. Louise has to go at half past three to pick up Lux and I have a meeting with the guys from this campaign at a bar in Rodeo Beach at four, so I better hurry up.
The meeting is good enough. They tell me I’m beautiful which is always good to hear and they also tell me I’m most likely gonna be in my bikini for the commercial. They explain to me how the advert is supposed to be and that I need to show a sexy attitude and we do some proves at the beach basically of me giving them sexy faces and stuff. It’s a bit embarrassing if I’m honest but I have done worst things already so it is not really a problem. They ask me to pretend that it’s raining and I try to catch the droplets with my mouth as sexy as possible, then they ask me to run teasing the camera to follow me, to look at the camera sternly and then to smile innocently hidden by a rock. They are smiling the whole time so I know they like what they see which is great.
As I get to set with feet full of sand I see Louis already in his Clyde costume. He has been here since five because they needed to shoot some scenes of him in prison or being caught at the robbery and when the makeup artists are done with Bonnie, the camera crew is done with Clyde. When I get to Louis I notice he is exhausted so I punch him on his arm and he smiles tiredly at me.
-Alright guys – David says – so this is the scene where Clyde declares his love to Bonnie. Remember we are in 1930; a love declaration is such an important thing. Bonnie – David points at me – you are so fed up with Margaret.
I nod and we take our positions. We are sitting in the garden next to the house where Bonnie and Clyde are living hiding from the police accompanied with Margaret and Bristol who would get the door if the police come over. They are basically the cover. The thing is since Margaret and Bristol are with them, Bonnie and Clyde don’t get any time alone together so they don’t even kiss each other anymore. Besides, Margaret is so annoying and posh whilst Bonnie is a rebel free woman who doesn’t give a damn for any social conventions.
We take our seats around the fire and I search Clyde’s gaze. Clyde is talking to Bristol while annoying Maggie is trying to talk to me again. When Clyde looks at me I give him a sexy smile and he smiles foolishly back at me. Then I stand up and leave the fire, teasing him to follow me. After a minute, he appears when I’m leaning my back on a tree and he looks at me smiling.
-Oh, Bristol, you sure do need a haircut! – I start to mimic Margaret with her annoying posh accent and voice and I move my body around as Margaret would do touching Clyde’s hair – You look just like an old man! You need to cut your hair!
Then Clyde pushes me against a tree amused and tries to shut me up.
-Don’t make fun of Margaret when she is right there ten metres away! – He chuckles.
-She is always ten or five metres away or even closer! – Clyde places his hands on the low of my back and pulls me closer to him. – Oh, honey, don’t you ever want to be just alone with me?
-Well, I always feel like we are alone. – Clyde says smiling tenderly at me but my expression hardens.
-Do you baby? – I ask him almost pouting and he nods.
-I’m hungry. – Clyde says and presses his lips with mine while I kiss him back smiling in our kiss.
I hear David screaming that we are done and after that scene we shoot one of our robberies to a bar and a love scene in the back of our car. Three hours later we are done and we head home at nine. I drive Louis home and get to his place to say hi to Harry and be with him for a little bit before I go to bed. Harry is tired today too so we just make out in his bed for a while and then I decide I’ll go home. I would have stayed with him if he had asked me but he hasn’t and, to be honest, I want to see my cat as well.
