Zac
Zac zipped up his coat and bend his head down low as he shoved his hands in his front pockets. He wasn't used to snow or was he used to the wind whipping it in his face. Everywhere he looked was white it was like fog but fog didn't hurt.
The snow was starting to build up on the sidewalk as the honking of the cars in rush hour traffic continued, people were right Boston was deff. different than LA especially weather wise.
Cee stepped off the
bus pulling her hat down almost over her eyes, this was a record cold
for their winter it was about 23 degrees but with the wind chill it
felt like below zero.
She listened to the rhythmic boots click
clacking on the pavement even with a few inches of snow already on
the ground she could still be heard.
She took another sip of her
newly poured coffe feeling it as it slide down her throat warming
everything it touched.
She walked past the usual shops and stores as she always did on her way home from work but this time she could barley see these stores, in fact she couldn't even see 5 inches in front of her, a few times she even questioned herself as if she was still on the sidewalk or not.
Zac was half way off the sidewalk as he tried to hail yet another taxi but they kept flying by ignoring him, he stepped back fully on the sidewalk before he got hit by another biker, why someone was riding a bike in this weather he had no idea.
He felt himself being pushed by the side and turned his attention to the person who was readjusting her hat "sorry" she spoke as she pulled it down over her hair.
"no it's okay" he said struck at how she looked even in this weather, her black hair and tan skin put her out before the rest and he was infatuated by her with just one word spoken, maybe it was because she was a close resemblence to Vanessa.
She stood
there and watched as he raised his hand again trying to catch the
taxi's drivers eyes as it drove by
"your not going to catch a
taxi now" she said smiling at how he was trying so hard
Zac
turned his attention back to the girl almost thinking that she would
disappear along with everybody else if she stepped back any further
in to the white background "why not?" he asked feeling the
snow hit the side of his cheek giving it a burning feeling
"it's
rush hour and we're pretty much standing in a white out, I wouldn't
be surprised if they don't even see you"
he nodded "okay
well if I can' get a taxi can you tell me were the Boston Commons
are"
she stepped closer to him as a group of people came up on the sidewalk from crossing the street "yeah it's just a few blocks from here" she looked over to her left to where the street disappeared, she was facinated with this kind of stuff especially when it looked like the people walking where coming out of a black hole, another world.
She put out her arm ignoring the sub zero temperature and pointed across the street "your going to take a left on to Washington Street, then from there you take a right on Essex then you take another left on to Chauncy and that turns in to Arch street and you'll see the duck pond and that is the Boston Commons" she stopped with a smile before dropping her hand
"thanks..." he said slowly trying to get a name
out of her, she got the hint
"Oh my name's Cecilia but Cee
for short" she stuck out her hand as he shook it and replied
"I'm Zac" Cee's hand shake became slower as it started to
click in her head.
Zac smirked as it happened with anybody he
met "Oh I knew you looked familiar" she said with an amazed
voice " your that musical guy, my sis is a big fan"
He
smiled then dropped her hand and shoving his back in his pocket
before he lost a finger
"so then your deffinelty not from
around here' she said with a laugh taking another sip of her
coffee
"yeah I'm here for some business" he said hearing
another car lay on it's horn "well I got to go, it was nice
seeing you Zac" she said backing up away from him, her face was
being engulfed from the snow and then it totally disappeared as did
everything else around him, he hated snow.
Cee walked across the set clipboard in hand hearing the buzzer sound for all quite on set. she walked up to a few traillers knocking on their door then stepping inside to say theu were needed in five.
Most of the actors were found in groups practicing lines but others were a little hard to find and once she felt like she had rounded them all up she sat down in a chair exauhsted she felt like she was running after cattle.
she watched in loving amazment as the final scene was being shot, of course there was the famous movie kiss in this scene and for Cee to be watching it in perosn instead of gushing over it on tv was incredible. She felt the tears build up in her eyes as the actors belted out their true feelings for eachother and then in one swoop the girl was being lifted up in his arms and kissed passionately.
When Cecilia got the call that she was needed for today she thought it was going to be bad first experience, the movie wasn't explained enough for her all she knew was the name coming on to this set which was Can't Get Enough and to be honest she thought it was going to be a porno or something along the lines of that, but when she found an extra script lying around she couldn't help but read the plot and the way it was written tore at Cee's heart, she was such a helpless romantic.
she blew her nose with a napkin at the buffet table and started to dab at her eyes as to not ruin her make up "you okay?" she heard a voice ask and then seeing them stand next to her at the corner of her eyes "no I'm fine" she said turning her face so they wouldn't see that she was crying but then again if they didn't see it when they first walked up would they still be asking if she was okay?
feeling
like she got the last of the tears from her cheeks she turned to face
the person standing next to her
"wow you again" she said
with a smile standing up so she was at eye level, he smiled as he
crossed his arms over his chest "you know your directions that
you gave me the other day weren't that helpful"
Cee put
her hands up "hey it's not my fault you got lost, I happen to
know this city quit well"
"Oh really" he said
smiling back wathcing as she threw the napkin in to the trash "well
your lucky I got some helpful people to tell me where I was" he
put emphasis on the word helpful which made her giggle "well
sorry if I mislead you maybe you'll have better luck next time"
Zac
turned his attention to the scene that was being shot after he
noticed Cee's gaze drifting more over there then to him "you a
fan of these movies?" he asked as she started to wipe at her
eyes again
"yeah" she said her voice cracking, she
laughed at herself "sorry they just always get me"
"Oh yeah witty lines and bad plots always get me too" he said jokingly as she laughed again, she turned around and pciked up her clipboard from the chair "well I should get back to work" she walked by him as he said "fuuny I don't think I've seen you here before"
"I'm just a temp"s he replied
turning around as the buzzer sounded again "I'll be out of
everybody's hair after today"
Zac nodded uncrossing his arms
and putting them in his pockets
"nervous habit?"
Cee asked looking down as he took out his arms moving them again
repostioning them in everyway, first they were crossed then in his
pockets and now he was running his fingers in through his hair
"nope
just a habit" he said ropping hthem by his side
Cee raised an eyebrow "whatever you say" she winked then turned around again afetr hearing her anme being called. Zac watched her walk away smiling as he heard her heels lcick against the ground, her hair bounced as she walked and she swung her arms, she looked confident in every way and that was what attracted him at first.
