Sorry with the lack of updates and for the underlines. Trust me, I've tried so hard to get rid of them and they're still there! Between school and work, I barely had any time to myself! And as I always say, feel free to criticize. I'm going to try to follow the episodes as much as possible but there are no promises.
Arriving on the set early, I had high expectations of seeing Tawni. Soon, I realized that I probably arrived too early on account of no one else being there. Inside of my dressing room, I noticed the new scripts were placed on our vanities. Since I arrived early, I decided to check out the script over some breakfast.
I poked through the buffet at the selection they had for this morning. "Gruel, slop and…" I picked up the serving spoon and poked at the unidentifiable brown goo that was lying before me. "ew. Septic sludge?" I scoffed, passing by every available "food". "So, is there anything edible here?" I asked the cafeteria worker.
She shot me a glare. "Listen, Girly, ya either pick something, or ya keep walkin'." I glanced over to the yogurt machine and quickly decided against a mystery breakfast. "Oh, Chad!" I rolled my eyes before seeing the pompous young actor. The blonde boy smirked charmingly at the older woman. "I have your breakfast all ready for you." She grinned from ear to ear, handing him a plate stacked high with pancakes and syrup.
My mouth gaped open. "How does he get pancakes and I get the option of what I assumed was oat meal and something that used to be eggs?" Without saying a word, she pointed her dirty serving spoon towards the yogurt machine.
Next thing I knew, Chad's arm was around me. "Sonny, Sonny, Sonny…" he sighed. "You still have yet to learn the ropes of Hollywood." Disgusted by his touch, I plucked his hand off my shoulder. "Hey, no need to get hasty with this handsome face." He smiled, pointing to his annoying grin.
"Well, I need to go work on a few things. Enjoy your breakfast." I spat, making sure he was able to taste the sarcasm, and yet it still flew right above his head. Ignoring his blank stare, I walked off to an available table with my strawberry yogurt.
Flipping through the script, I grew incredibly excited seeing Tawni and I working together on a skit. "Check it out. Check it out." I practiced saying the same line in different tones. Check out my nails. Check out his hair. Check out Tawni and me making out. I smiled to myself at my thoughts. Taking another bite of my yogurt, I continued with the different possibilities for the Check It Out Girls. I thought of a great beach scenario that flew right off topic once I had a vivid image of Tawni in my mind. The simple thought of Tawni sporting a two-piece bathing suit was enough satisfaction and a distraction for me. It was no longer a Check It Out Girls idea. I was able to take an innocent skit idea and flipped it into something read out of a naughty fantasy book. Before I knew it, the lunch crowd started to pile in. Realizing the time, I snagged another yogurt and headed up to my dressing room.
I opened the door to my dressing room and as soon as the door clicked closed, an eager Tawni had me pressed up against the door. Our lips slammed together, forcing my body to bang backwards onto the door and for me to nearly drop my yogurt. She dragged her teeth along my bottom lip before pulling away. "Mmm, strawberry." She said, playfully snatching it from my hand and taking a spoonful. She grabbed me once more by my collar and gently pressed her lips to mine and smiled.
"Who said you can have some of my yogurt?" I joked, doing a poor attempt reach to get my cup back. "I know you always get want but it's different with me." I smiled. "You have to ask first."
She smirked at me. "Oh, yeah? Well, I just take what I want." She said, dangling it in front of my face. "And I always get what I want, no matter what." There was a long pause. We both knew that we weren't just talking about yogurt anymore or the fact that she took it from me. It actually made me think about where I truly stand with her. Am I just some shiny new toy that she wanted for the time being or does she truly like me? Am I risking everything just for this slight possibility? All the thoughts stopped spinning in my head when Tawni grabbed me by my face and placed a kiss on my cheek. "But sometimes, I just get lucky."
I wasn't quite sure what I was feeling but it felt like everything swelled inside of me. I don't know how to describe it exactly but it felt amazing and also reassuring. A smile escaped my lips as I said, "Why don't we rehearse our lines?" She smiled back at me and motioned me to the couch. I grabbed one single script and cuddled with her onto the couch. I fit so perfectly, matching my body to her curves. The script somehow ended up on the floor without either of us glancing at it and we stayed so perfect for the little time we had with each other.
"Sonny," I faintly heard someone call out my name. My head rolled back onto Tawni's shoulder and I nuzzled deeper into her neck. All I wanted to do was sleep there with the girl that I used to look up to back in Wisconsin. She was my idol and she was the one who inspired me to create my web show. It was a real life dream come true. Something like this was usually seen in the movies but it was happening to me, but with every good thing, there is a downside. "Tawni," My eyes shot opened, realizing that it wasn't Tawni trying to wake me.
With a loud thud, my body slammed against the dressing rooms floor. Quickly, I jumped on to my feet and glanced over at Tawni to see if she can come up with any stories. Tawni sunk backwards onto the couch, befuddled. Zora stood before us, raising a brow at our strange actions. "Why are you guys sleeping?" She asked, obviously annoyed. "We have to be on the set for dress rehearsal!"
Tawni and I sighed in relief. Zora was completely clueless as to what Tawni and I were previously doing. It's not as if we were doing anything bad. We were simply sleeping. "Yeah… We over slept." I partially lied. "We're going to get into costume."
"Okay, but you guys better hurry up! Marshall's waiting for all of us."
