Chapter 1
Dom sat at the desk in Santini Air as a messenger brought in a package and asked him to sign for it. He signed his name on the clipboard and then looked at the names on the envelope before yelling out.
"Cait, Saint John," he yelled. "I believe they just delivered the scripts you were waiting for."
Caitlin came running over to get the package. "Great," she said. "I'm excited to see what kinds of lines we need to learn."
"I thought you only had two scenes besides the stunt," said Dom. "It can't be too many lines."
String followed up behind her as Saint John came out from the back room. Caitlin opened the package and handed Saint John one of the movie scripts inside.
"I still can't believe they chose the two of you to play tragic lovers," said String. "Caitlin, sure, but I don't see Saint John as her type."
"Hey, I can't help they liked my ruggedly good looks," said Saint John as he opened the script and began reading.
"Well, it's only a small part," said Caitlin. "We're just playing the two lovers who mysteriously die in a crash. The rest of the movie is about the main character who is a detective. She investigates their death and tries to figure out what happened. It's supposed to be really suspenseful."
"Looks like they only sent us the portion of the script with our scenes," said Saint John. "Guess they want to keep the rest of the movie under wraps."
Caitlin looked through the script. "Well, you're right Dom," she replied. "There aren't too many lines. It looks like one of them is a love scene and the other one is when the characters are getting ready to fly out. That will be just before the stunt."
"Love scene?" asked String. "Let me see that."
Caitlin watched as String read the information about the scene. She wanted to laugh because the expression on his face was priceless.
"Great," he finally said. "They have you two in bed together."
"Oh this is going to be fun," teased Saint John.
String shot Saint John a dirty look. "Don't get too comfortable with that idea," he said.
"Lighten up little brother," replied Saint John. "It's just for a movie. It's a great opportunity. Cait and I will get to grace the big screen. I'm pretty excited about it."
"Me too," replied Caitlin. "It's exciting even though our characters die after only two scenes. But I did hear there might be a flashback scene later on that they could need us for. Hey, maybe we'll get to go to a big premier."
"Yeah, we'd look great walking the red carpet together," said Saint John. "I guess we should start practicing our lines tonight."
"No way," said String. "Caitlin and I are going out to dinner tonight. I don't get to spend enough time with her these days as it is."
"Well, we can do it after dinner," replied Caitlin. "String and I won't be out too late."
String frowned. He was already having a hard time with it since he and Caitlin put their engagement on hold and she moved in as roommate with Saint John. He missed her and wanted her around more. But, he knew he couldn't push. He had promised her that they would take baby steps in rebuilding their relationship. Still, he hated all the time that his brother was getting to spend with her. Now, they were doing a movie together and he couldn't help but feel left out.
"Cait, I thought we'd hang out a bit after dinner," said String.
"We can," she replied. "You can come over and help us out with the lines."
String sighed. "That's not exactly how I wanted to spend my time with you," he thought to himself. "Sure," he finally said. "I can do that."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
String took Caitlin to a quiet Italian restaurant. They sat close together at a small table and held hands through most of the dinner. "I like this place," said Caitlin. "How come you've never taken me here before?"
"I don't know," said String. "I guess because we always spent so much time up at the cabin."
"We should do this more often," she replied. "This place really has a romantic feel. I like that."
String leaned over and kissed her. "I've really missed you at the cabin," he admitted.
"I know," she said. "But for now, doing things like this feels right."
String kissed her again. "Yeah, I understand," he replied. "Maybe we did need a little more romance in our relationship. I promise to keep working on that."
"Good," she replied before starting to laugh.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"Oh, I was just thinking about Saint John," said replied.
"Saint John?" he asked. "Why?"
"Living with him has been rather interesting," she replied. "I laugh so hard at him sometimes it hurts. He likes to tease me about you a lot. He's told me some funny stories about your dates and romance mishaps."
"Oh wonderful," replied String while rolling his eyes. "Remind me to share some of his most embarrassing moments sometime."
"Why not share them now?" she asked.
"Because I'd rather spend my time doing this," he replied as he leaned over and kissed her passionately.
"We are in public you know," giggle Caitlin afterwards.
"Ah, let them watch," he replied with a grin.
