Frank has always been a one woman man.

When he met his collage sweetheart, they've been a couple for 3 years, but their ways eventually parted when they both started to study in different cities. Few years later he'd met Anne, a woman who he thought might become is wife. They've been together for few years, but eventually she told him she didn't love him anymore. She was the girl that Frank was telling Rachel about during their first – and only – date. Yes, and then was Rachel... . No woman before her could get emotions out of him like Rachel did. He had no idea that he is even able to behave the way he did when he was with her. She could make him angry like noone before; furious within a second; also weak in so many ways. At the same time no other woman has ever attracted him sexually the way Rachel did. Yes, he knew she was a big star and many men wanted her because of her beauty and talent – but for Frank it was much more than that. She had this charisma and charm that very few women have, something very unique and dangerous for a man who is 'trying to keep straight in his head what job he is doinge there'.

The chemistry between them was undeniable and impossible to fight with, Frank found that out when he invited her to his house after their date, thinking that he is strong enough to fight the temptation. After that night, full of passion and emotions, he woke up in the morning knewing that what he felt for Rachel exceeded physical attraction. He was, in fact, deeply in love with Rachel Marron and knew it will be a very difficult job from now on to protect her. There was just one solution - Frank, always following the internal discipline, had to break it off, hurting her and himself in the proccess.

It didn't help too much. He was falling for her even deeper, observing her and discovering her weaknesses, flows and insecurities. He knew that underneath this diva-ness and arrogance was a shy, scared girl who had a good heart and was more than most people vulnerable. Her bad behaviour, sleeping with his former colleague – and near-killer, rudeness was just a facade, the way of showing him that he deeply hurt her heart, not just pride.

When he took this shot for her he was the happiest man on Earth – he saved her, the woman he loved, and was slowly falling into the darkness being held in her arms and looking into her beautiful, black eyes. Her eyes were full of tears, fear, but also something much deeper...Frank knew in this very moment that she loved him too.

- Stay with me, baby, stay with me – she was begging, but Frank was only looking in her eyes, smiled a little and before he lost his conscience he thought that it's the right time to die.

He didn't die though and now, standing in this room full of people and staring again in her eyes for a long while he wondered if it wouldn't have been better.

No, he didn't get over her yet as he thought before.

Yes, she is still same damn beautiful as she was when he last saw her at the airport.

No, she didn't seem to forget about him neither as her eyes said it all.

The air in the room became thicker suddenly and Frank felt dizzy as he was holding his breath for a long time, while his heart was beating extremely fast and his mouth became really dry.

In her eyes he saw surprise, disbelief, shock and joy at the same time. She slowly started to move towards him and he just stood there, not being able to move, smile, speak or even blink his eyes. The guy standing with her looked at her with surprise and said something, but she just ignored him totally as she was coming closer to Frank.

The guy on the small stage started to announce something and people in the room went crazy. Neither Frank nor Rachel heard the word of it.

When she stood in front of him, staring in his eyes and trying to read his thoughts he wasn't able to take his eyes off her, as usual. She looked so beautiful – her dark skin was glowing in the red light, her hair were curly and loose, the way he liked it the most, she was dressed in a beautiful blue dress, showing her long legs and naked arms but the most mesmarizing were her eyes – intensive, shiny, looking at him like he was the only person in the world.

Frank swallow whatever saliva he had left and tried to smile a little, but with no success. The noise in the room was louder and louder, people were calling someone.

- Frank... - Rachel said his name softly and the tone of her voice made him shiver. He took his gaze off her and looked in the ground, trying to compose himself and say something normal.

Before he was able to do that, a well-known person showed up and grabbed Rachel's hand, saying:

- Rach, they are calling you, you need to sing that new song for them!

It was Sy. He didn't notice Frank at first and now that he did, his face made a grimace saying 'Oh no, not again!'. He still worked for Rachel and apparently wasn't happy to see Frank again.

- Hi Frank! We have to go now, honey – he said sweetly and started to walk Rachel towards the stage, giving Frank „do not interfere' look, while Rachel turned her head and said to Frank:

- I'll speak to you later...

Frank's head nearly exploded. 'Speak to you later, speak to you later...' - he was repeating in his thoughts. What would he tell her? 'Congratulations, you've moved on so easily?' or something more meaningless like 'Congratulations! I've heard I will always love you was a major hit!'? Frank scratched his head in desbelief. Still buried deeply in his thoughts he didn't notice Sy coming towards him with a face hardly hiding his anger and frustration.

- So Frank, how nice to see you – an irony in his voice was pretty obvious – you couldn't have stayed away from her for long, could you?

- I didn't know she would be here – said Frank flatly – besides, last time I checked you were not my manager.

- I couldn't care less what you are doing with your time, Frank – Sy raised his voice a little – but I'm still Rachel's publicist and she is who I care about.

- How romantic – Frank cracked a little ironic smile, what nearly resulted in him getting punched.

- I'm serious, Farmer. After your little date she'd missed several good interviews. You've made my job so difficult at the time. I get it, she really was in danger and you saved her life. But you were messing with her head! After that neverending kiss of you two at the airport she couldn't stop crying for weeks! The best time of her life careerwise, just won an Oscar and she wouldn't even attend parties or galas, hardly ever smiling during interviews. When she finally started to be back on track guess who shows up in her life again!

Frank was speechless. It's the first time he couldn't find a quick and witty responce to Sy's sarcastic remarks. What he heard from him shook him to the very core. Jesus, and he thought that she's moved on so easily!

At the same time Rachel entered the stage and started to speak.

- Hello everyone! It's nice to see you all here...Some of you I really haven't seen in a while... - her voice was soft and delicate, Frank somehow felt she was referring to him. - And you know what? I've changed my mind. Let's forget the new song, ok? I think I will sing a song that is very close to my heart and you all know it...Do you mind? - her voice was flirting and Frank once again admitted that she has incredible charisma.

After a huge applause she started to sing I will always love you and everyone went silent. The sound of her voice was stronger and sweeter than ever before, it was capturing everyones minds and moving hearts. Frank stood there for a moment, watching her singing for him so beautifully, his heart was breaking and he could feel tears slowly filling his eyes.

'Enough now' – he thought -'that's enough. Can't take it anymore'.

He abruptly turned and left surprised Sy who just opened his mouth to say something. He went straight to his employer and explained that he must go home as he is not feeling very well.

'That's so unprofessional' – he thought to himself . 'But my client is in no danger, he doesn't really need me and I can't be here, listening to her singing THIS song and having all these feelings coming back'

It was a long way home. He parked his car and came inside the house. The first thought was to have a drink – he did have some whiskey left and a lot of coca-cola.

- Discipline, discipline – he said to himself and opted for an orange juice instead. He really didn't know what to do with himself. He was afraid to switch the tv on as - knowing his luck – he would come accross Rachel singing this song.

He took a long shower, trying to forget this evening's event. When he got dressed in comfortable clothes he heard a doorbell. Surprised, but also intrigued he opened the doors slowly.

It was Rachel.

Party must have finished already as she was now wearing a tight blue jeans, white t-shirt and a leather jacket. She looked so casual, like a girl next door, only much more beautiful than the average one. She didn't smile, it seemed like she hesitated before she asked:

- Frank, uhm..are you alone? - the tone of her voice was very shy and sweet like when she asked him out not that long ago. This was Rachel he liked the most, he found it very appealing.

Frank nodded. He still found it difficult to speak, but the worst shock was already gone.

- Can we talk? I mean, I was hoping to talk to you at the party, but I couldn't find you anymore...

Frank opened the doors for her and smiled a bit.

- I never expected to see you in my house again, Rachel – he said slowly, looking straight in her eyes.

- I guess neither did I – Rachel returned his gaze as he was closing the doors behind her and leading her to his guest room.
