Thalia had applied for an opening on a popular television show. She was a wardrobe specialist and had worked on a few shows but she was ready for a change. This show was going into its 7th season and they had just recently lost their current wardrobe specialist. She was supposed to hear something today so as she nervously paced around her house in between doing chores she hoped and prayed she heard soon. Every time she got a text she ran to her phone to see if it was about the job. Deciding that doing chores was not getting rid of her nervousness she decided to jump on her elliptical machine and see if that helped any. She walked over to the stereo in her work out room and tuned it to the station she wanted. Listening to her favorite 90's rock radio was best for her workout so that's what she chose. She soon worked up a good sweat and sang along with the songs that came on. Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" came on and caused Thalia to bump up her pace just a little. She sang along and just as the last strains of the song were finishing up her phone rang.
Jumping off the elliptical and grabbing her remote she lowered the music and then grabbed her phone and a towel to wipe the sweat. "Hello, this is Thalia.", she said as she answered and tried to get her breathing under control. "Ahh yes hello. This is Tiara. You submitted your application with us a few days ago. We've looked over it and we would love to talk to you more. Is there any way you can come in to the studio and look around and talk to us more?" Thalia took a deep breath in order to calm her nerves, "Of course I can come in. When would you like to talk to me?" Tiara cleared her throat, "We would love for you to come in this afternoon at 2 if that's ok. The actors will be here and we'd like for you to get a sense of their style and personalities." "2 will be great. I look forward to talking to you.", Thalia said. Tiara gave her the exact location that she wanted her to come to and told her just to give them her name at the front gate.
*********************************
At around 1:30 Thalia hopped in her Dodge Challenger and headed to the studio for her meeting with Tiara. When she pulled up to the gate and gave them her name she was greeted warmly by a charming grey haired man. He showed her the direction in which to go and waved her on her way. Thalia pulled up and parked beside a big black Suburban and made her way to the door of Tiara's office. Tiara was sitting behind her desk, typing away on her computer. Thalia noticed that Tiara must be a big fan of television shows. She had a Tardis on her desk as well as little figures from several other popular shows.
When Tiara saw Thalia come in she stood and walked toward the much shorter woman. Tiara held out her hand, "You must be Thalia. So happy to meet you." Thalia shook Tiara's hand, "Yes I'm Thalia. I have been looking forward to talking to you." Tiara motioned for Thalia to sit down and they talked about what the show was about and kind of their expectations for what the characters were supposed to wear. Thalia thought this sounded like a really fun environment. "Ok so let's call the guys in and let you meet them.", Tiara says before she shoots off a quick text . He phone dings a few seconds later and she giggles like a school girl and blushes a little. Thalia takes this all in. "They're a mess. You'll see when they come in here.", Tiara tells Thalia when she sees that she's noticed the blushing.
A few seconds later two very handsome, very tall men breeze through the back door. One is very handsome with beautiful green eyes and full lips. He comes in and begins to massage Tiara's shoulders. She leans back and looks up at him and he leans down to kiss her gently on the lips. Thalia is a little shocked but she decided to just roll with it. The taller of the two guys came in behind the first one. He was very handsome as well with shoulder length hair and soft hazel eyes. He had a mischievous smile on his face as he teased Tiara, "You two need to cut it out. Always sucking face. Maybe y'all should get a room." Thalia tried to hide her smile as she ducked her head. She was enamored by his teasing and the Southern drawl that colored his words just a little. He turned and saw Thalia sitting there and his smile turned from mischievous to intrigue. "And who do we have here?", he says as he turns toward Thalia and reaches out his hand. Tiara stood from her chair and cleared her throat and brushed hair out of her eyes. "This is Thalia. She's applied for the wardrobe specialist job. I had her come in to look around to get a feel for what we have going on here. I also wanted her to meet you two goons.", Tiara punches the taller man on the arm.
Thalia shakes his hand, "Nice to meet you Thalia. I'm Jared and this is Jensen. We play the brothers in the show even though I'm clearly the much better looking brother.", he chuckles and Thalia marvels at his near perfect teeth. She has to look way up at him, barely reaching his chest as she stands in front of him. "Nice to meet y'all too.", Thalia says finding herself at a loss for words. Jared beamed again, "Wow you are pretty short huh? I could put you in my pocket and carry you around." Thalia blushed, "I'm not sure you would want to do that. I can be a lot to take sometimes." Jared scoffs and says, "I doubt that." He turns to Tiara, "Ok let's go show her the wardrobe warehouses and where everything is. I think she'll do." Tiara shook her head at Jared. She knew he was taken with Thalia just that quick. She knew it was only a matter of time before he was bouncing all over like a puppy like his usual self. She stood and took Jensen's hand, "This way Thalia." As Tiara motioned for Thalia to follow her Jared grinned from ear to ear and followed along behind. Jensen turned to look at him over his shoulder. They had essentially become brothers through the making of this show. Jared waggled his eyebrows and stuck his tongue out. Jensen just shook his head and walked with Tiara.
Thalia followed Jensen and Tiara out the door and across a parking lot where four warehouses marked "wardrobe". Walking into the first one Thalia marveled at all the denim and plaid. She saw that the rows of clothes were clearly marked Jared or Jensen. She turned to Tiara, "And y'all have four warehouses of clothes just for these two?", her green eyes sparkled as she spoke. "Most of them are for these two but some of them are for our other characters as well. We have to watch that one though because he likes to swipe things.",she said as she pointed at Jared who gave her what could only be described as puppy dog eyes. "Who me?", he questioned innocently. Tiara laughed and looked at Thalia, "You'll find out soon enough." Thalia cut her eyes quickly in Jared's direction and looked away quickly when she saw that he was also looking at her.
They finished up with a tour of the rest of the sound stage. Tiara showed Thalia where everything was, kraft services, makeup, the warehouses where they filmed and even the guy's trailers. Just as they were about to head back to Tiara's office someone called to Jared and Jensen, "Hey you two need to get to makeup. You've got to be on set in 30." Jared took a deep breath and let it out. Jensen leaned in to kiss Tiara, "I'll see you in a few hours. Kraft services for a date?", he questioned and Tiara giggled. She pushed on his chest, "You know I'll be there big boy." And with that he kissed her again, "It was nice meeting you Thalia. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of each other. Thalia waved to Dean and he made his way toward the makeup trailer. Jared ran one large hand through his long locks and reached for Thalia's hand. He lifted it in his own and brought it to his mouth. He leaned part of the way down and his warm lips gently kissed the back of Thalia's hand. Thalia felt butterflies take flight in her stomach at the sensation of his lips on her hand. Lord what would she feel if he actually kissed her lips or….no no no she couldn't think of those kinds of things! She would be working for them soon enough. "I'm looking forward to seeing you around here every day. Maybe I can talk you into lunch or supper one day." Jared said as he looked into her eyes as if they were the only two around. Thalia managed to nod, "It was nice meeting you Jared." Her mouth went dry and that was all she could get out.
Jared flashed a smile down at her and she saw that he had dimples that winked at her causing her pulse to race and her breath to catch. Jared released her hand finally and then turned to Tiara, hugging her he bounded off toward the makeup trailer where Jensen had disappeared. Tiara turned to Thalia, "So what do you think?" Thalia shook herself and realized that she was watching Jared retreat to the makeup trailer and her mind had begun to wander. Tiara smiled at her knowingly, "Yeah he's hard to not like. He's sometimes so much like a big kid or a Labrador puppy.", she says with a chuckle. Thalia snaps out of her trance, "Uhhh…..yeah he seems to be really nice and fun. I think this place will be fun." Tiara begins walking toward her office, "Well follow me then and we'll get all your stuff together so you don't have any trouble getting in here." They went back to Tiara's office and Thalia was given a badge on a lanyard that gave her access to anywhere on the sound stage and the surrounding buildings. Tiara told her what time she needed to come in the next day and she was set.
