Dom strolled into the studio. Walking tall and head held high. His therapist had told him to act confident, and then he would start feeling it too. But it hadn't worked yet.
Stop thinking like that! I've got this!
Shaking the insecurity off, he cleared his mind once again.
I am a capable actor. I wouldn't have gotten this role if I wasn't.
He had been cast to play a detective in an action movie. This detective was a man who respected the law and did everything by the book. Much like himself. Except for the detective part. But he was very dedicated at his job. He always gave 110 percent to his role and were never late to set. Or at least that was how he was when he had a role. There hadn't been many. And never one as big as this. But he had seen other actors behave intolerable on the small sets he had worked on so far. Towards costars, crew and directors. Dom never wanted to be like that.
He despised people that acted like divas just because they had become famous. And he was especially worried about one particular co-star. Michael Graham.
He was a known actor, dancer and singer and had an extravagant lifestyle. Dom didn't actually know if he was a diva, but he wouldn't put it past him. He had seen pictures. Athena had shown him the Instagram profiles of his co-stars. And Michael Graham seemed to live an excessive life. And he was also bisexual. In a way that let everyone know. That made Dom very uncomfortable... Not to mention nervous.
Dom himself, didn't really know his way around social media, so he was glad he had Athena. She was his best friend and now his fiancée too.
"You must be Dom Karev."
A sweet-looking blond girl offered him her hand. Dom remembered her from the profiles Athena had showed him. Cameron. A younger woman with a lot of selfies on her profiles.
She was playing the woman his character was married to. They had a few scenes he was dreading. A lot!
"Yes I am. And you are Cameron Montgomery, right?"
"Well, actually it's Graham now."
She showed him a large ring on her finger. Blushing lightly with a big smile on her face.
"Wow. Congratulation. So, you are married to Michael Graham?"
A mixed feeling of relief and disappointment rushed over Dom.
"No actually, it's his half-brother Christian. They have the same mother. "Oh. Okay. So, isn't that quite new?"
"Yes. Christian and I just got married two weeks ago. There he is."
She waved towards a stunning blond guy. He was very muscular, a little shorter than Dom and extremely handsome.
Holy shit, that guy is seriously hot. That family has some incredible genes.
Dom couldn't stop staring at the guy when he came and introduced himself. He just stood there, gaping like a fish on land.
"Dude, are you okay?"
Stop it! You are NOT attracted to guys. You are NOT attracted to guys!
"I'm... umm.. I'm fire... FINE! I mean fine."
Way to go, Karev. Clearly the therapist has done wonders with me.
He mentally rolled his eyes at himself.
"Alright then..."
The guy took his wife's hand and led her towards the table with refreshments.
