ditched her friend for some guy and
she wasn’t about to begin now.
“ Come on, Beth.” Selena
waved her arm and Beth hurried to catch up, a big smile on her
face.
“ I guess I’ll see you
around,” Matt said as Beth caught up to them.
He stopped walking as the girls continued on
their way. He stood and watched as they walked away. Selena’s
cowboy boots had a bit of a heel on them and he liked the way it
made her hips swing as she walked across the desert. She was quite
different from the type of girls he was used to. Normally, he was
around models and actresses who were too full of themselves to pay
much attention to him. Or fans, who were completely in love with
his character from a movie, but they didn’t know him personally.
They had no idea who he really was. They almost seemed surprised
when he didn’t look and act like the character they had fallen in
love with.
But this girl was different. He could sense
it about her. She was much deeper than the shallow actresses he
knew and she obviously wasn’t an adoring fan. And those big, dark
eyes, they looked like she was hiding some sort of mysteries behind
them. If he could just pry her away from her short, curly-haired
friend, he thought he just might like to get to know her better.
Maybe I can find out what secrets she’s hiding behind those
beautiful eyes, he thought. He watched until the two girls
disappeared into the crowd, then he turned back to the catering
table, his thoughts still on Selena.
Chapter 4
Selena and Beth hung around the set the rest
of the day. Selena wasn’t needed again; she mostly sat around bored
as the crew moved lights and microphones around. It seemed to take
so long to set up for each shot, then only a few minutes of
filming. What a boring job, she thought as she leaned back in her
chair, the spring sun beating on her face. She closed her eyes as
the sun relaxed her body, the noise of the crowd fading into the
background.
It was late in the afternoon and Selena was
dozing in her chair when she heard a galloping horse. She opened
her eyes to see Matt Mason galloping across the desert on a big bay
horse with black legs and a black mane and tail. The pickup was
rolling alongside as they filmed. She noticed immediately how well
he sat his horse as it galloped. He sat tall and straight in the
saddle, his hands light on the reins. Selena was stunned at how
handsome he looked wearing a black cowboy hat. She could see his
blue eyes shining happily as he galloped past. A funny tingle
started in the pit of her stomach as she watched him and she was
wide awake for the first time in hours.
“ See, I told you he was
hot,” Beth whispered. “And he seemed to feel the same about
you.”
Selena shrugged her shoulders, not sure how
to answer as her eyes continued to follow Matt. He does look good
on a horse, she thought. I like the tall, dark and sexy look. He
seems so completely different from the local guys around here. She
finally shook her head to clear it as she stretched back out in the
chair and closed her eyes. He’s just eye candy, she told herself.
He’s probably got more Hollywood girlfriends than I have blue
ribbons from barrel racing.
Beth wasn’t able to go with her to the set
every day after school. She was involved in so many after-school
activities, it was late every day when she got home. Selena missed
her friendly chatter as she sat around the set each day after
school, lonely and bored. She had only filmed one short scene,
where she repeated her few lines over and over until Don finally
called out, “that’s a wrap.” It hadn’t been as bad as she’d
expected. She blocked the crowd from her mind as she said her
lines, pretending she was one of the characters in the stories she
was always writing. The rest of the time had been spent sitting
around with nothing to do. She took her schoolbooks and did her
homework. She tried reading, but she hadn’t found a good book
lately, one that would really
