“Hi. I’m…Stella.” It took me a minute, but I wasn’t that star struck that I forgot my name. Just my manners. I cracked my gum again, unable to blink. The man I had watched for hours upon hours onscreen was standing before me.  “The trainer,” I managed to blurt out as Luke’s intense chocolate eyes stared back at me.

Fit for Love

Thanks to Katie’s help, I was able to gain access to Luke’s backyard the next day. Katie told me that the director changed the shooting schedule to allow Alicia more time to prepare for the water scenes. So, Luke would be shooting a different scene that day. It was perfect because it allowed me ample time to set up my plan. 


When Luke came home, I heard the garage door open. I texted him to come out back, hoping he wouldn’t ignore my message. In a few minutes, I heard the sliding glass door to the pool deck open, and Luke saw me emerge from the new tent he had ordered weeks before.


I set up the tent in the yard, again, thanks to Katie’s help in locating it. I wasn’t brave enough to actually prepare a camping expedition, but at least a backyard adventure. “Surprise,” I said, biting my lip, hoping Luke wouldn’t throw me out on the spot. “Luke, I’m so sorry.” I walked over to him, trying to read his face. I couldn’t tell if he was angry or just contemplating my surprise.
