He moves his hands to grip her shoulders, bringing her impossibly close as he leans toward her, his nose brushing against her cheek. Her heart is pounding in her chest. Relax, she tells herself, breathe. His lips meet hers chastely at first, closed mouth and soft, until she parts hers slightly. Images of him flood her mind, how incredible he looks in this lighting, the deep blue of his coat contrasting with his flawless skin, the way he banters back and forth with her without missing a beat. His eyes are dark and intense as he acts out the scene with her, never breaking contact with hers. Before she realizes what she's doing, she runs her tongue along the seam of his lips, and he parts them, deepening the kiss.

Her hands move and wrap around his waist, pulling him closer, while his move to tangle in her hair. He breaks the kiss first, trying to catch his breath and he leans his forehead against hers before taking her hand and walking across the quad. "Cut!" Elizabeth yells, breaking Anna Kendrick out of her reverie.

It's just the role messing with your head, she tells herself.

"Guys, that was brilliant!" Elizabeth congratulates them, smiling widely.

Anna's eyes dart over to Skylar, whose skin is now flushed. He smiles back at her, "Yeah good one Anna, you had me weak in the knees over here."

"Shut up," she counters, elbowing him as he shoves her back playfully. The contact sends sparks up and down her body, and she feels herself blush.

"Looks like the simulated cold is getting to you, AK-47," he jokes, noting her red cheeks, "We better get you warm."

She laughs, "Weirdo," she tells him, shaking her head as they walk towards the direction of the trailers.

Once safely inside, she pulls the gray knit hat off her head and grabs a bottle of water from the mini fridge. Taking a long swig, she plops down on her sofa and sighs.

It was just a kiss, nothing more, she tells herself. She hates this feeling she gets when she's around him. "He has a girlfriend!" she exclaims to the empty trailer. Yes, a girlfriend who used to be her friend before she started dating Skylar. Anna Camp was married when they all filmed Pitch Perfect together a few years ago, and she'd been with Edgar still. When she first met Skylar they had this natural chemistry. It was the reason he was cast as her love interest for the movie. Well, that and his amazing singing voice. He flirted with her a little on set but she remained loyal to her boyfriend of four years. Camp was shameless, though, practically throwing herself at him and making constant sexual innuendos when he was around. It was disgusting, especially for a married woman.

Anna had been friends with Camp and her husband. She even enjoyed a holiday dinner with them, but when they got divorced it was obvious that Skylar was the reason. He acted completely head over heels for Camp, and the two of them broadcast their love over social media as often as they could. It was nauseating and Anna distanced herself from it, immersing herself in other projects. When the sequel was announced it took her a while to commit to it. There was no script and she knew that Skylar and Camp would be there together. She decided she didn't want to miss out on being in the film, plus she wanted to know where Kay would take Jesse and Beca's story next.

He seemed blissfully unaware of the awkwardness that she felt whenever she was around him. He was handsome and charming as usual, and she was sarcastic and self-deprecating as always.

It's just physical attraction, her internal monologue continues. Skylar is outgoing in his relationships, always putting himself out there on display, seeking attention for his every move. Anna is private, low-key, and almost awkward at times in her relationships. She doesn't like flashy guys who are constantly putting on a show. So yes, this whole attraction must just be physical. She closes her eyes and leans back on the sofa, frustrated that all she can think about still is the feeling of his lips on hers.

Skylar enters his trailer and runs his hands through his hair, pacing back and forth as he thinks. "It was just a kiss, you're just acting," he murmurs to himself as he walks the length of the trailer before turning around again.

Yeah, just a kiss, a kiss with Anna Kendrick. No big deal, right?

He's an idiot. Why did he open his mouth and kiss her like that? The script didn't call for that. Well, technically it just said "Beca and Jesse kiss." But then he had felt her tongue on his bottom lip and he practically turned into jelly. Being Jesse Swanson must be messing with his head again. When he first met her while filming the first movie he has to admit he was a little star struck. She was Oscar and Tony nominated, incredibly talented, smart, and funny. She was also gorgeous. Her eyes were the loveliest shade of blue, and he easily lost his train of thought looking at them. He had tried his hardest to get her attention, flirting like crazy and trying to work his magic, but none of it had any effect on her.

He continues to pace. Anna Camp had clearly been interested in him from day one. She made him feel sexy and desired, and she insisted that her marriage was already over emotionally for her. She was a talented actress and had been in popular TV shows and movies and he was flattered by her attention. It was a huge boost to his ego, and immediately he was enamored with the idea of her, this tall blonde goddess who just also happened to think the world of him. He wanted to shout it from the rooftops, and shout it from the rooftops he did.

Now he wasn't sure if he was trying to convince the world of his feelings or himself.

He just can't seem to escape Anna Kendrick. Every time he turns on the TV, goes to the theater, or picks up a magazine she's there. She's hilarious on Twitter, and while she doesn't follow him he finds himself checking hers anonymously. She's incredibly stunning and sexy on all those magazine covers and photo shoots and awards shows she attends. He practically fell all over himself trying to impress her before and now she has to kiss him like that?

She's just acting you fool.

Of course she is. Because Anna Kendrick would never want him back. He's just kidding himself into thinking that it meant anything other than just Beca kissing Jesse. He knew she was a good actress but damn.

His heart is still pounding as he thinks about her. Was it him or did Kendrick get more beautiful somehow? Her hair has been perfect for each scene, long brunette ringlets that he wants to run his fingers through over and over again. Her pale skin flawless, except for the beautiful blush she had after she kissed him. Her perfect breasts making him wish the film were rated R instead.

He stops to splash cold water on his face, knowing that he's due to film his next scene with her in a few minutes.

Get your shit together, he warns himself before checking his reflection in the mirror and heading back out onto the set.
