"And cut! Alright guys, take 20 then We're going to re-shoot the martini. I need the stage reset and last looks in now. Has anyone got eyes on Carl?" That was Kane, he was the director for this show I was in. The names Clarke, and I'm a TV actress.
Kane picked up his walkie-talkie and stomped past me, he was never the most patient man. "I need eyes on Carl!" I made my way over to the hair and make up tent as fast as I could, feeling sorry for the shit storm that's about to fall upon poor Carl. I saw Raven in front of me heading to the same station and jogged to catch up with her.
"Clarke, hey! Have you read the script yet for the finale? I can't believe they're killing Finn off!" I shook my head at her, thanking myself for not waiting until tonight to read it.
"I know, but it's the best thing for his character. He needed to end on a high note before he looses the fanbase." I saw Raven look sceptical for a moment before eventually nodding her head in agreement.
"I know, but it will still be sad not having him around." I couldn't help but laugh at that.
"Sad? Raven come on, you know you can do better than Finn. What about Wick the sparkie? He's cute, and I know for a fact he's interested in you." Her relationship with Finn was a train wreck. Both knew it, but both couldn't help themselves. They had just started to gain attention from the media which everyone knew would be the end of them.
"He is cute, but I don't think I'm ready to date someone from the set again, it just creates too much tension for everyone else. What about you anyway? I know you can't date any girls because of that stupid clause in your contract, but there must be a guy out there you have your eye on." She looked over at me and quirked her eyebrow, I knew where she was coming from, I hadn't date anyone since Bellamy. It was a whirlwind romance, but his career took him to the other side of the country. We both agreed to end the relationship but remain friends. It ended just over a year ago and I hadn't been interested in anyone ever since.
"I'm not sure Raven, after Bellamy, all I want is a girl. But we both know Kane won't allow it." My heart dropped, sometimes I wish I was able to come out of the closet, but my publicist, Anya, and Kane both agreed that they didn't want to loose viewership.
I saw the pity in Ravens eyes but refused to acknowledge it. Rounding a corner we set sight of the station.
"Did you hear that Kane fired one of the hair and make up guys? Apparently he was stealing from the show and selling the items on eBay." I burst out laughing and open the door to the trailer, I looked around the empty room and sat in the first chair, Raven sat next to me.
"I didn't hear that, hopefully the new person will understand the workings of deodorant and toothpaste, although considering the track record, it's not looking good." Raven laughs in reply.
"Eugh, please don't remind me. Word is the newbie is really hot." I watch her through the mirror as she let's her hair down, running her fingers through her waves, appreciating her beauty. She starts asking me about my weekend coming up, gauging whether or not our weekly Netflix Saturday nights will still be happening. Distracted by our conversation, I jumped when I see a figure walking behind me.
I could hear Raven still talking at me, but I couldn't drag my eyes away from who was behind me. I couldn't see much, and I didn't want to make it completely obvious that I was staring. The person came more into view and confirming my suspicions, it was a woman. She had a backless top on, showing off an intricate tattoo which trailed down her perfectly crafted spine.
I heard a pointed cough come from beside me which broke me out of my trance. I pulled my eyes away and stare at Raven.
"You haven't been listening to anything I just said, have you?" She looked back in the mirror, she knew she wasn't going to get a reply from me. I looked back in the mirror, hoping from another sweeping glance of that tattoo, instead I found myself swimming in a sea of green. I trailed my eyes down the rest of her face, taking in the gentle curve of her lips, the strong jawline beneath, the dip of her neck followed by the enticing collarbones. I realised I was blatantly checking out this beautiful woman and snapped myself out of it. I looked back up and saw the gentle curve of her lips now raised in a smirk, she caught me.
Raven, yet again, broke my out of my trance with another pointed cough. "If you're finished checking out the newbie, are you actually free tonight or not?" She asked.
I blushed instantly, hoping that the woman didn't hear Raven, however from how her smirk has grown into a smile, I sincerely doubt it.
I shuffled in my seat, sinking further down. I heard Raven laughing at me and shook her an angry look which only made her laugh harder. I felt a nudge against my elbow and see the woman brushing past me. I looked up and watched as she bent over slightly in front of me. I couldn't take my eyes off her, the way her back arched over which only accentuated her tattoo. I couldn't resist glancing further down. Just as I was about to reach, what I could only imagine to be, a delectable behind, she stood up.
"Hey girls, I'm Lexa, the new hair and make up artist."
