“So then the guy pulls out a freakin’ calculator to make sure that we both only paid for what we ordered”
“No way?”
“Yes way. He even split the price of the wine more in his favor as I had a glass more than him”
The trailer filled with loud laughter as those inside discussed the tragic date that Jodie the hairstylist had been on the previous night.
“Man we had such high hopes for this one too” Belinda sighed with a shake of her head, disappointed
“High hopes? The man only had to be a step above the guy who worked as a mime and thought it was sexy to be one during the date and let’s not forget that massive mammas boy she went out with” laughed Megan the makeup artist who was busy working on Belinda for the nights shoot
“Hey there ain’t nothing wrong with being a mammas boy” Justin piped up feeling the need to defend himself in some way as he was a well known mammas boy. He’d been happily sitting in his chair leaned back with his eyes closed listening to the gossip that filled the trailer half listen half not, but the last comment he felt deserved a response.
“Sure there isn’t” Jodie said tugging a little at Belinda’s hair “unless he brings his mother out on the date with us” she said matter of factly
“He didn’t” Justin gasped feeling himself being sucked into the gossip
“He did” the three chorused all falling into laughter, leaving Justin to shake his head in despair. As much as he declared proudly to be a mammas boy he would never in a million years bring her out on a first date… or any date for that matter
“Speaking of mammas boys Justin”
“Yes Megan?” he asked leaning back into his seat
“Are you the one I have to thank for the extra work I have to do to cover this lovely hickey our Miss B has on her neck this evening?” she asked leaning back to look at his relaxed form, eyebrow raised in question
“Maybe” he said slyly trying to fight the smirk that was making its way onto his face
“Maybe hey. Well if it wasn’t you then girl who the hell was it? Are you hiding another fella from us?” asked Jodie getting in on the ribbing Justin was slightly getting
“No!” he shouted springing up straight in again in the chair “No other guy that was all me” he said with an affirming nod of his head, feeling slightly unnerved at the sound of Belinda being with someone else.
Belinda looked at Justin in the mirror smiling slightly at his quick answer. After their conversation the previous night Justin had somewhat opened up to her about his past but as much information as he was willing to give, she couldn’t help but feel that he was still somewhat holding back from her.
Sure they were getting closer both emotionally and most definitely physically but looking at him she sometimes felt as if he was holding her back somewhat at arms length, afraid to taint her like he proclaimed to have tainted so many before.
As much as she wanted to push, nudge, hell even give him a tap in her direction she was unsure that with the pressure he would go running the other way and she didn’t want to be that girl, the girl who pushed him away.
“Well honey maybe do it in a less visible place okay?”
“Megan!” Belinda screeched turning her attention to the girl in front of her slightly embarrassed at the line of conversation
“What it’s not like what you two are doing is some massive secret” Megan said with a shrug
“Yeah didn’t you notice the extra amount of paps that have been circling around, I think it’s a well known fact now that ya’ll have gotten closer” Jodie agreed using her fingers to quote around closer
Belinda groaned at the mention of the pests “god don’t I know it. I got a call from Stephen just before telling me about the press grabbing onto something like a Bennifer curse or some shit”
“A what?” Jodie asked stumped
“You know the Bennifer curse” Megan chimed in as if it was the most obvious thing ever “when two stars are making a movie and then end up hooking up during filming, the media gets saturated by the image of the two that by the time the movie actually comes out people are so over them they couldn’t gives two shits about some movie they supposedly made”
Three sets of eyes looked back at her slightly taken back by her explanation
“What?” she shrugged “I’ve worked on a lot of film sets that rumor always get’s started” Eyebrows arose in question “Ok so I may have been watching TMZ last night and they happened to mention the curse, along with an explanation”
Justin groaned at the mention of the gossip show “Girl why are you watching that shit?” he asked, standing from his seat stretching. “It should be common knowledge that half of the shit they spew on that thing is bullshit”
“I know, I know but it is kind of addictive to watch, what can I say I’m female and I’m nosey” she admitted “and besides the blonde guy is kind of hot to look at”
“The surfer looking dude?” Belinda asked with a frown
“You know whose she’s talking about?” Justin asked as he made his way closer to her chair
“Like she said we are female and nosey” she shrugged
“I’m leaving all comments towards that to myself” he said with a shake of his head as he leant around the girls to place a quick kiss on Belinda’s lips
“Good boy” she said patting his cheek as he stood to make his way out of the trailer, leaving Megan behind him to bitch something about first the hickey then her makeup.
-----------------------------------------
“Ok guys I know you’re wet, tired and probably a little hungry but this will be the last take for tonight… or shall we say morning with it now creeping up to two o’clock. So let’s all pull it together and shoot this” yelled the director as everyone on set took their places
“Ok and lights, camera, rain and action”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“You know I’m really starting to think that you are stalking me”
Rose looked at the man next to her, he stood casually leaning against the wall next to her rain still pelting against them both “Me?” she asked pointing to herself to which he nodded his head “I do believe I was here first, a whole twenty minutes before you actually” she said turning back to look at the building in front of them but still trying to remain out of sight
“It was ten minutes if I’m to believe you” he grunted
“Well I was still first so you either need to get a better source or a different line of work buddy”
“This coming from the girl who used to write the Dolly Doctor column” Ryan laughed back at her
“Hey we all have to start somewhere, not everyone has a daddy that could gets us into our dream journalist job” she sassed looking closer at the building that according to her source held the towns mayor together with a young female, a female who wasn’t his wife.
“Hey I fucking worked my ass off; if not more so than anybody simply because of whom my father was, so don’t go mouthing off about me and how I got here”
“You don’t even know me so why do you care what I do or don’t think about you?” Rose asked pushing her wet hair out of her face
“I may not know all of you but I do know one thing” he said turning slightly towards her smirk planted firmly on his face
“Oh yeah? Please enlighten me with your profound wisdom”
“I know you want me”
Rose looked at the cocky man before her in disbelief, “Because I totally gave off that vibe the whole five times I’ve met you, which may I add have been with you getting in my way of a story. Yet color me blinded I was lusting after you the whole time?” she said sarcastically, face lacking any emotion
“There’s no denying it sugar” he said watching as she turned her back on him as she walked away “You’ll see it sometime and when you so just holla at me ok” he said to her retreating form.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I am so ready for sleep” Justin groaned as he took a seat in the car that was to take them back to the hotel after wrapping the last scene
“I think I actually may go for a bath when we get back” Belinda said taking the seat next to him, also leaning her head back, tired from the late hour
Justin turned his head slightly to look at her “We just spent the last few hours getting rained on and now you want to go soak in a bath?”
“Yeah why not?” she asked turning her face also towards him, her face mere inches from his “Me, hot soapy water and candles what more could I want before I go pass out in bed”
“Well when you put it like that I think I could definitely go for a bath myself” he said leaning close, touching his lips softly to hers
“Who said you were invited?” she asked, a tired smile making it’s way onto her face as his fell and her lack of invitation “I may even get Big Rob to block you access from my room” she said giggling as Rob grunted at the sound of more work and no sleep
“No need to be cruel to all parties girl, let the man sleep he’s had a long day, and so have I so I think I deserve a bath with soap and candles and you…naked” he said softly saying the last few words for only her to hear
“Oh is that right? But I thought you were ready for sleep?”
“Hell sleep can wait I have a bath with my name on it waiting to be had, with you… and did I mention we’d be naked” he said sighing as Belinda lifted her hand to the nape of his neck, scratching lightly at the slight curls he had
“Ok I guess you’re invited when you put it that way”
