Chapter 2: Forbidden passion
2 days ago...
The shootings of season 5 had started, some scenes had been shot but they were out of sequence. They preferred to do some out takes with some people from the cast before shooting the island and the studio scenes. Matt was at home, in Hawaii. He had already shot during the whole past week and next weekend; he would go to LA to visit his family. No sooner had he taken a shower than the telephone rang. He quickly dried himself, wrapped a towel around his waist and answered the call. It was Evi.
-Hi, it's me, Evi. Are you busy?
-No, actually I just took a shower.
-Oh, I'm sorry, did I interrupt you? I call you later, then.
-No, no, say it.
-Have you already read the scripts? I did a cursory reading and there is a part that I couldn't understand well, so I'd like to ask you some things.
-I didn't read yet, I would start reading in a while.
-What a pity! Seriously, it has some lines that I didn't understand the plot, so I would like to see your script; maybe it has some instruction about Jack's attitudes in this scene…
-Why don't you come over here to take a look at this?
-I don't want to bother you.
-Come on, Evi! You know that is always a pleasure to help you! Maybe we can figure out what happened in this damned scene?
-Ok. Wait for me. Bye.
-I'm waiting.
Later, Evi arrived at Matthew's house. She was wearing long black boots, kilt skirt and white long sleeves shirt. He was wearing black clothes.
-Hey.
-Hey.
They smiled. They remembered Jack and Kate greetings. Continuing the joke, he asked:
-Are you ok?
-Yeah! You?
-Yeah, better now.
Evi burst into laughter. It was amazing the dynamic of their play; it was a thing that had started since the beginning, since they met for the first time. Evi always said that when she was acting with Matt, it looks like he was just leading her and she was following him; the chemical between their characters was great because it was a repetition of their good relationship in real life.
Due to the fact that it was a cold day, Matt offered a glass of wine to Evi in order to warm their bodies for a moment before they focus in their scenes. After minutes of small talk, they decided to get the scripts.
-Have a look at this passage, on page 30, my instructions are too much evasive! I read it and I'm in doubt, it's a flashfoward but the next paragraph seems pointless; would they have forgotten a piece or skipped something?
-Huh, let me see it. Yeah, it's a little weird. Let's compare them.
-Let me read yours.
They stood there just carefully studying; after a long time, Matt understood what happen in the scene.
-Ok, I got it! According to this paragraph, on this part it's really a flashfoward but on that part it's the real time for the Oceanic 6. In your script they don't mention it, but in my script there are some instructions about the scene after your lines, have a look.
-Oh, yes, it's true. I guess I'm lost in Lost. These time changing, past, present, future…We mixed them up!
-It's really necessary to pay attention. It's very difficult acting with different moments of the character. Look at my case, for instance. At one point, Jack is the leader, on the other; he is dark and so on. On the other hand, it's a challenge for us, actors.
-I feel so blessed for being in the show! Matt, thanks for helping me to puzzle out. Well, I guess I should go home.
-What? You just arrived here! Listen, why don't you and I discuss the text?
-I don't want to bother you.
-Of course you don't bother me, actually it's good, and thereby I will practice my lines for the next episodes.
Evi and Matt started rehearsing some scenes. At first, they only read the transcripts in order to be familiar with the text. Then, they talked about the dynamic of the lines. Despite their characters were fighting at the beginning of the season, through the time traveling, there were always jate scenes, a look, a hug…
-And now, let me read the instructions. Kate smiled at Jack.
And then Evi smiled. She was incredibly gorgeous, so spontaneous in Kate' skin that it was impossible for Matt to be around her and stay indifferent.
-Now I will read Jack's reaction. When he saw her smiling at him, Jack gave back a hopeful look.
Matt looked at her, but he started laughing.
-Huh, this look is not hopeful at all!
-How strange, huh Evi? In the past, you used to say that I was your teacher, but now it looks like the opposite.
-Come on, I want to see the Jack's look.
Evi looked at Matt with her green eyes and then Matt looked at her in a special way, not only did he watch her with a hopeful look, but he also watched her in a seductive and warm manner. A look of suppressed desire. Evi had no reaction; she didn't know which scene it was or her lines anymore. The only thing she did on a sudden impulse without thinking was touching Matt's face, pulling him against her. They naturally kissed. It was an intense and hot kiss, where both of them put years of suppressed desire out.
Since season 1, they felt attracted, but Matt was happily married and Evi didn't want to be a bitch, therefore she decided to let go and smother her feelings. But now, after denying, the desire came strongly to surface, even more after "Something Nice Back Home" phenomenon. There, they could enjoy the hot scenes with an excuse of being in characters skin.
After kissing, they exchanged glances; both of them were surprised at what happened. To break the ice, Matt giggled and said, crestfallen:
-Well, I guess it wasn't in the script.
-Yeah, it really wasn't, but I decided to improvise.
They exchanged glances again and felt an irresistible attraction. Then, Matt took Evi to a corner, putting her over a wooden desk, where there were some decorative vases. He removed them and kissed her again, while his hands were raising her skirt. Evi, in her turn, took off his shirt, running her hands along his chest, back and tattoos. After that, she unbuttoned his jeans, reaching with her hands his member. In a hurry, Matt unbuttoned her shirt, grabbing with his mouth the bra straps. Thus, they were completely naked.
Gradually, their caresses became more passionate, their mouths were predominantly agitated, their tongues were sucked, tongue against tongue; they sucked mutually their lower lip and right after, lips were slightly bitten.
At this time, Matt was obviously excited after making out with Evi; her beauty was driving him crazy, it was impossible to resist, his penis was already erect. Matt started caressing Evi's breasts, brushing her nipples among his fingers, pulling them softly.
At his caress, her body was ready to receive him. He introduced a finger inside her and noticed her dampness. Then, she opened her legs and he immediately got in. Once he penetrated her, he started with soft strokes, but later, he increased his movements and at the peak of his excitement, Matt couldn't repress himself and gave a hickey in Evi's neck. The sexual intercourse was so intense that they both achieved orgasm.
Matt and Evi were breathless, they couldn't think about anything. They lay down there, in the carpet; their bodies in need to recover. What they felt at that moment was indescribable, all suppressed desire had exploded like a bomb; their bodies burst into fire.
Minutes later, they awakened from their bliss. All of a sudden, they realized that this should not have happened, Matt was married and Evi was dating Dom again. So they stood up and dressed in silence.
-Evi...
Noticing the serious situation, Evi just answered:
-You don't have to say anything, Matt, I know. We can't, it was craziness! Don't worry, it will not happen again. We are adults, we will overcome. I'm going home.
When Evi left the room, she was crestfallen; she just couldn't understand at that moment what had happened. After she left, Matt sat down on the floor, with his back against the door and with his hands over his head. He wasn't able to catch on, he, a perfect husband, had just betrayed his wife.
