The Hottest Guy in Hollywood


Tara Crescent - 2014
    He is funny, charming and utterly sexy. I'm the girl who runs a pizza shop in Liverpool, Nova Scotia. Population 2700. He is a storm. I seek safe harbor. Timothy Banks does not belong in my life. Why then, do I feel only yearning when I look at him? EXCERPT: “Ah,” I said. I had no idea what he had said, no clue what I was responding to. “I guess you can hang out here till the power comes back on, or the rain stops.” I didn’t want to sound churlish, but my palms were clammy and blood was roaring in my brain. Timothy Banks was bad for me. Standing there, naked except for a towel, speaking in his sexy, seductive voice, I felt a yearning for the jet-setting, cosmopolitan life I’d given up, where meeting men like Timothy Banks was not entirely outside the realm of possibility. But that life had transformed into a waking nightmare, and I had retreated to Liverpool, and built a shell around myself. I didn’t want cracks to appear. But in fairness, Timothy Banks wasn’t responsible for the way I was feeling, and I had no excuse for the kind of rudeness I was displaying. Major movie star or not, I couldn’t throw him out in the rain. “Sorry,” I said. “I’m being quite rude. Please, stay. The power usually comes back on in an hour or so.” He looked at me. “If it won’t be an imposition?” he asked. “I can entertain myself.” He looked at my cheap particleboard bookshelf, overflowing with books. “Do you mind?” “Not at all,” I responded. I waved towards the easel. “I’ve been itching to paint all day, if you don’t mind?” He looked at me, his expression oddly intent. “It’s your home, Tessa,” he said. “You can do whatever you want.” Was that a come-on? A slight emphasis on the phrase ‘you can do whatever you want’? An indication that if I took a step towards him, it would be reciprocated? I wanted so much to find out. I wanted to drop my gaze lower, to see if he felt the same arousal I was feeling at the moment. The same sense of exciting possibility.
