The Hearts Behind the Silver Screen

21

I heard a knock followed by footsteps behind me. I turned over and jumped.

“Bennett! What are you doing in here?”

“Danielle left, she's sick. It's time for our scene.” He explained.

“Ok, I'll be right there.” I turned back over.

“You're falling back asleep. Let's go.”

“I just need a couple more minutes.”

“I said 'Let's go'.”

I felt his hands slide under me.

“What are you doing?!” I screeched.

“If you aren't going to get up, I'm going to do it for you.”

He flung me over his shoulder.

“I can get up on my own!”

“I don't enjoy waiting.”

He carried me out the door and back into the studio.

“I'm up! You can put me down now!” I yelled.

He carried me all the way to the set and finally put me down.

“Thanks for the lift.” I said sarcastically.

“Glad to be of service. You know that's not the only bedside service I provide.”

“Ugh. Save it for one of your little groupies.”

He laughed.

“Can we just do this? I want to get home.” I whined.

In this scene, they arrest Bennett for his crimes while we are relaxing at home together. But while in custody, he escapes. But that's a scene with just him later.

We played out a normal couple routine. I was in the kitchen cooking his dinner, and he comes up behind me. He holds me and talks to me as I continue to cook. We kiss. Just as we kiss, they bust our doors down, and FBI agents arrest him. That is where we stopped for the day.

I could finally leave.

I said a quick goodbye and headed out to the trailer to grab my stuff. I saw someone standing by my door.

“Jonah! What are you doing here?” I was so excited to see him.

“I was wondering if you had plans later.”

“As a matter of fact, I don't.”

“I figured while I was out, I'd stop and ask you if you would like to go out tonight.”

“What did you have in mind?” I asked him.

“Nothing specific. Food. Is there anything you want to do?”

“Actually, not to be boring, I would mind a nice night in.”

“I have an idea. Can you I pick you up around 7:30?”

“Oh, sure. Should I bring anything?”

“Nope, I'll have everything we need.”

“Alright. I will see you later then.”

“See you at 7:30.” He kissed my cheek and hugged me goodbye.

I stood there for a minute and smiled.

“What was that about?” Bennett demanded.

It startled me. I hadn't even seen him come up to me.

“Jesus! You scared the hell out of me!”

He chuckled.

“Why are you even interested?” I inquired.
