I’ll never be able to bring them down off the ceiling in time to teach them anything.”
     
    “But not you?” Josh asked, his eyes locking on Amy’s intently.
     
    “Excuse me?”
     
    “I’m here and you aren’t on the ceiling. You actually seem annoyed.”
     
    “That’s because I am annoyed. You are getting in the way of me doing my job.”
     
    “Well, I’m sorry about that.”
     
    “So what do you want?” Amy demanded, painfully aware that each minute that passed drew her excitable students ever closer.
     
    “I was thinking that since you are a teacher here, you know the place pretty well, and I’d like to have a look round, a guided tour if you like.”
     
    “You want me to be your guide?” Amy asked incredulously.
     
    “If you don’t mind. I’d like to learn more about the buildings, their history, that sort of thing.”
     
    “Seriously, what do you want?” Amy glanced nervously at the clock high on the wall as she spoke.
     
    Josh saw her check the time and smiled cheekily to himself.
     
    “Your students will be here soon.”
     
    “Yes, they will, so you need to leave.”
     
    “I’ll go.”
     
    “Good.”
     
    “If you agree to give me a tour of the campus.”
     
    Amy’s eyes widened in anger at the realization that Josh was attempting to blackmail her. She had no idea why he was so keen to tour the campus; she seriously doubted it had anything to do with an interest in any of the buildings’ history, which she knew little about herself. But she needed him gone as her students were now just over ten minutes away and some of the more eager of them were always early.
     
    “Fine okay, I’ll give you a tour!” she conceded.
     
    “Great, that wasn’t so hard, was it?” Josh gave her another dazzling smile before making good on his word and leaving.
     
    Finally alone, Amy exhaled and realized how tense she’d been for their entire interaction. Josh Roberts made her exceedingly nervous and she didn’t like it. As the first of her students began to filter into the room she was grateful for the distraction which teaching would give her from her own muddled thoughts.

“So where have you been?” Caroline Demure asked without moving her head as she sat in her makeup chair while a technician carefully applied false eyelashes to frame her hazel eyes.
     
    “About,” Josh shrugged dismissively as he fell into a nearby chair.
     
    “About?” Caroline echoed, her tone pitched in disbelief.
     
    “Yes, about.”
     
    Josh was in no mood to talk to Caroline. He just wanted to get ready for his morning on set in the trailer as quickly as possible so that he could leave again.
     
    “Anyone would think you were avoiding me,” Caroline almost purred the words as she spoke.
     
    Caroline Demure had been voted the world’s sexiest woman two year’s previous and it was an accolade which had consumed her entire being.
     
    Everything she did or said was done with the mindset of creating a seductive allure and while Josh had liked that at first, he had quickly tired of it.
     
    “I’m not avoiding you,” Josh answered flatly.
     
    “Well you certainly left my bed quickly enough last night!” Caroline quipped and Josh felt his cheeks become enflamed.
     
    He hated how Caroline would discuss personal issues in front of fellow cast and crew, as though they weren’t even there. He thought it was an ignorant way to behave.
     
    “Let’s not discuss that now,” he told her sharply, as though he were disciplining a young child.
     
    “Then when are we going to talk about? You keep disappearing.” Caroline pouted.
     
    Keeping her eyes focused on the mirror she let one of her long legs slip from beneath the flimsy dressing gown she was wearing and graze the floor. She wanted to entice Josh. He was the most desired man in the world, she the most desired woman, they were a perfect match.
     
    “Keep your clothes on for Christ’s sake,” Josh said
