“So I’m gonna ask you again, who the fuck was on the phone?” She looked miserable and my mind went in a million different directions at once.
“Would you be upset if I asked you for some time? It’s not…not something I like to talk about.” I didn’t want to, but she looked so pitiful, I caved. Everything in me said get to the bottom of this shit right fucking now. But this love shit put the skids on my crazy.
“You got a week. I turned the water back on and joined her in the shower. I needed to work this shit outta my system.

I made sure she wasn’t going anywhere the next day while they were shooting and went in search of her manager. The hump that was after her was in the area according to my trace, and I needed to have a little powwow with him and the rest of her team since that’s what they’d hired me for.
“So he’s here? Does she know?”
“Nope, and I want to keep it that way. I’m here to be her eyes and ears. At last check he was headed this way, and he’s still on the move. I’m thinking the news that her and I are an item, plus the pharmacy shots, might have accelerated his crazy, who knows.”
“So what should we do?” He looked around the room as if he expected the asshole to jump out at him. “I don’t need you to do anything I’ve got her. I just thought you should know where we’re at.”
I left him and went back to my place on the set to find her saying the same fucking lines. How many times they gonna make them do this shit? She sounded fine to me.
I had to respect her craft. Until this job I thought all Hollywood stars were spoilt bitches, who got paid out the ass for being pretty.
Now I know that shit’s a myth. She works her ass off, sometimes sixteen hours a day and there’s a shitload of this kinda stuff. I’d have lost my mind a long time ago if I had to do the shit she does.
“Hey honey, I need to get something from my trailer before we go home.” Honey and home. I’m such a sap. It was end of day and my mind was filled with getting her home and erasing the asshole costar’s taste from her lips.
Thank fuck that shit was over, much more of that and I’d be putting his ass in traction. In two days they wrap and I can put my crazy on vacation. But she’d called me honey and the place we were using home. I’m set.
She was on fast forward as we made our way to the trailer and I was trying to keep up while checking my phone. I’d just gotten a ping from the tracer I had on asshole stalker guy.
Her raised voice had me putting it away and practically jumping through the open door behind her.
Some asshole was standing in the middle of the room towering over her. “You’re gonna want to step back.” I put my hand in his chest and pushed him back out of her space.
“Who are you?”
“Someone who’s gonna fuck your shit up if you’re not gone in the next five seconds.”
“Do you know who I am? Tell him Tara.”
“Who the fuck is this fuckwit cumquat?” I didn’t like the way he said that shit, like he had the right to be here. What the fuck!
“He’s…. She was shaking like a fucking leaf. “You…out…now.” I looked over my shoulder at her when I felt her clinging to my back and there was a look of sheer terror on her face.
“Did he touch you?” She shook her head slightly before peeping around me at him.
“Get the fuck outta here.” I moved towards him and he took the hint and lit the fuck out.
My phone was going nuts but she needed me.
“What was that about? Who is he?” She looked like she wished the floor would open up and swallow her. I crowded her until she had no choice but to look at me. The fear was still very evident in her eyes and my heart squeezed in my chest in that now familiar way.
“Did he hurt you? Why are you so afraid?”
“He…he’s a director. I met him when I first came here, he uh, he uh…” her breathing became rapid two seconds before she flew down the hall to the bathroom.
I was hot on her heels and stood in shock while she threw up. She didn’t have to say another word; only an ass wouldn’t understand that reaction.
I looked back towards the door wanting to go after him and tear him limb from limb but she was a mess. I knelt at her side and held her while she cried and threw up her lunch.
