Episode Two

~~~~~Trinity~~~~~

The reason she was so against dinner with Mister Coster as well was due in part to the rumors circulating about him and his urges as well. Coster slept with any woman that came his way, even with his intent on making actors and actresses audition. Nothing was off limits, and if she elected to work with him, just the act could be negative for her image and cause a scandal.

"Fine, lunch to discuss the making of Tantalizing Love the movie, but no more than that." She said finally sighing in annoyance. "And don't think so highly of yourself, Coster. Those lines might work on a simpleton, but I am not interested in causing a scandal. Nor is this 'lunch' going to be just between the two of us. My manager will be attending."

"Shame, you seem like such a lovely woman." Jeriah replied his voice back to annoyingly amused. "My manager will attend as well then. Tomorrow at noon?"

"Fine." Trinity replied updating the schedule she shared with her manager. "Shall we meet at the hotel restaurant since it is a business meeting?"

"Very well, Miss Faith." His tone turned sultry at that point. "I look forward to meeting you in person. I hear you're quite the sight to behold."

"As I previously stated, don't get your hopes up, Mister Coster." Sighing as she hung up the phone, she turned back to the view outside her hotel suite with a frown.

~~~~~Jeriah~~~~~

Jeriah smiles as he sets his phone down. Speaking honestly, the woman had fascinated him since he first heard of her book. Two days ago, he sat down and read through Tantalizing Love for the first time since the book was released. As he read the marvelous work, he found himself transported into the world Miss Faith had made as if he were there. Yesterday, when he finished the story, he reached out to his contacts to attempt to reach the elusive author with hopes of a collaboration.

It was then, when he heard of how beautiful she was, which provoked him to look into her via the wonderful internet. Lo and behold, the woman was very, VERY gorgeous. In her interviews, the top comments are of how she carries herself with a confidence and a smile that draws you in, and it is because of that confidence that people find her so attractive. Plus, she has been divorced twice, which only increases the weapons she has in her arsenal as a very experienced and mature woman.

Jeriah found himself wanting to bed her to see what she was like, having shut off all hints of emotion as well as he could. Their phone conversation made her seem unattainable, but surely, she had urges like everyone else. As he shifted through the articles, however, he found no prior scandal against her, making her appear almost celibate. Jeriah grinned at their conversation again.

He looked out the window of his suite with excitement for what the future would hold. Once she agreed to the production of a movie on Tantalizing Love, he would pull out all the stops to bed her. As he sat his whiskey glass down with a clunk, he stood and headed to his bed, ready, more than ever, to tackle the mountain that is the famous author Trinity Faith.

~~~~~Jeriah~~~~~

The next day at noon, Trinity found herself making her way towards the meeting point in the restaurant. There were famous actresses, actors, models, CEOs, musicians, and business women and men all over the dining area of the famous lunch spot. It used to be, when presented in this atmosphere, she felt uncomfortable, but now, she marched straight up to the hostess and opened her mouth.

"My name is Trinity Faith. My manager and I are here to meet with Jeriah Coster." The hostess was apparently new, as she had stars in her eyes at the mention of famous names. "Would you kindly show me to Mister Coster's table?"

"Of course, Miss Faith!" The girl said enthusiastically. "Right this way."

Trinity followed the girl to a table surrounded by musicians and actresses attempting to speak with the infamous Director. Once she was spotted, everyone made a path, shocked at the uncommon meeting. As she took in the sight of the man standing before her, she knew just how hundreds of thousands of women fell for him. He was a gorgeous man, standing at about six foot four with blonde hair and sky-blue eyes. Even though he was a director, he clearly took care of his body, as, from what she could see in his short-sleeved button up and suit pants, he was well defined.

"Ah, Miss Faith!" Jeriah and his manager stood at the same time, offering her his hand. "A pleasure to finally meet you!"

Now it was her turn to be surrounded, only by actors and the ilk, attempting to catch her gaze. Even among celebrates, her and Director Coster were both well-known as 'people to lay'. Many men and some women had approached her on the topic, but she always refused.

"Mister Coster," She replied nodding with a fake smile. "The pleasure is mine. Shall we get this meeting underway?"

With that, they turned to their audience with a smile, and Trinity spoke first.

"As much as I appreciate having fans in the industry, Mister Coster and I have some business to discuss. Would you mind giving us some privacy?" She asked politely to the men and women gathered and overheard some of the whispers. "We were introducing ourselves today to discuss a potential collaboration on a project."

"Yes," Jeriah agreed with no hesitation. "I do hope to convince Miss Faith to work with me on this, but we need some time to talk."

Once everyone dispersed, Mister Coster pulled out a chair for her, to which she accepted, and watched as he moved to sit next to her. They were tucked away against the window overlooking the city. This high up in the building, none of the noises of New York could be heard, granting a peaceful atmosphere. This was another portion that was lavishly decorated for its guests.
