Hey, this one shot is about Logan and Erin. Enjoy yourself.
Kiss - scene
"Cut," called the director. Logan turned around. "What is it this time?"
"You have no feeling."
"What do you mean?," Erin asked, crossing her arms.
"The kiss. There's nothing to be said about it. The talks are good, but the kiss is terrible."
"How about a break?," Logan asked hopefully. They had been working on this episode for several weeks now. And slowly everyone was a bit surly, because the episode was still not finished.
"Okay, I think the best thing is to stop today," the director said, standing up. "We'll go on tomorrow."
Logan glanced at Erin and she shrugged. Logan turned and went over to his three best friends, while Erin joined Katelyn and Ciara. James hit his mate on the shoulder. "Don't worry, man. So what happens."
"But not so often," said Logan gruffly.
"Is there anything between you and Erin, so you just can't make this scene, or what?," Kendall asked.
"No, not at all. Everything as always. Maybe it's the scene."
"Mmh, just imagine that it's not Erin, but another girl. For example, your girlfriend," James said. Logan laughed dryly. "Do you really know how long it was since I had a girlfriend?"
Then the four were silent for a moment, until Carlos finally said, "Actually a pity that you aren't together as in the series. Then it would be easier for you."
Then his friends looked at him in astonishment.
"What?"
"Honestly Carlos, sometimes you're just as naive as your role," Kendall said, shaking his head.
"Why?"
"Because it's not advisable to combine work and private life," Logan said, glancing at Erin.
"Exactly," said Kendall. "That's why Katelyn and I are only friends." And he waved to Katelyn, who waved back.
"If you mean that," James said, grinning.
"Anyway," Kendall said impatiently, turning back to Logan. "If you and Erin are only friends, how comes that all the other scenes have been perfect, but this not?"
"I don't know," Logan said. "Everything is alright between us."
"Well," James said. "Carlos, Kendall and I wanted to drink something. Come with us."
"No, thanks, I think I'll stay here and read the script again. Perhaps I'll get to the problem."
The boys shrugged their shoulders, waved to him and left.
Logan sighed, took his script and went to his wardrobe. The director didn't care whether the actors were still there after the shoot, as long as they didn't break anything. Logan sat down on a couch, took the script and began to read:
(Apartment 2J)
L: (sits with his head down on the couch)
C: (standing with arms crossed in front of him) I can't believe you really did this.
L: (looks up at her) Sorry.
C: Why did you do this?
L: (stands up, starts walking around) No idea. I was totally confused. Since our separation everything has been so complicated between us. And that with Josh...
C: (interrupts him) Josh and I are just colleagues. The feelings are not real.
L: The feelings maybe not, but the kisses.
C: So this is your problem?
L: (stops, looks disbelieving) Of course. Do you think I like it when you make out with some guys?
C: (walks slowly towards him) But why? We are separated.
L: (shrugs his shoulders)
C: (suddenly understand) You still love me?
L: (breathing deeply) Yes.
C: (holds him by the shoulders) Why didn't you say anything?
L: Because I was afraid.
C: What about?
L: Before that it doesn't work. I don't want to lose you again.
C: How do you get it?
L: From experience.
(Silence)
C: (looks him in the face) And if you don't need to be afraid?
L: What do you mean?
C: I mean, you don't need to be afraid because it will not happen.
L: What makes you so sure?
C: (smiles) My love for you. (Pulls him to her, kisses him)
L: (retreats slowly) Does this mean now that we are together again?
C: Yes. (kisses him again)
Logan let the script sink, resting his head in his hands. "Why don't I get this scene?"
"I've also asked me the same question."
Logan raised his head and looked at the door. Erin stood there and looked at him. He hadn't noticed that the door was open. "What are you doing here? I thought you'd gone."
She shrugged her shoulders, went over to him and sat down beside him. "I've seen you stay here and asked me why."
He pointed to the script. "Creative blockade."
She took the script and read through the scene again. Then she thought for a moment. "Maybe we should play the scene again. Or at least a part of it."
Logan looked at Erin doubtfully. "And you think that's will work? Damn it, we've already done it at least 30 times and still haven't made it."
"Yes, but we don't have so much stress now because the whole crew and the director aren't there. And perhaps we can finally find out what our problem is."
Logan sighed. "OK. Why not. I don't know anything better."
Erin stood up, while Logan put the script aside. They wouldn't need it anyway. Meanwhile they knew every word and every movement by heart. Erin began, "Why did you do this?"
Logan stood up and walked around. "No idea. It's all so complicated between us and I'm afraid..." He paused.
"Um, I think you got something mixed up," Erin said amused.
"Oh, yes, you're right. Sorry."
"No problem. We'll continue on the next step."
"OK."
Erin went to him and held him by the shoulders. "What are you afraid of?," she asked. Logan knew what he had to answer, but something held him back.
For the first time, the scene seemed different to him, and suddenly he realized that it wasn't the scene, but him. He himself was different. Better, he felt different. All of a sudden it was as if they weren't only playing the scene, but also experiencing it. He looked into her face and said, "Before it doesn't work. Before it destroys our friendship and our work."
Erin looked at Logan confused. "Um Logan, I think you're pretty tired, aren't you? This isn't at all in the text."
"I know."
"What?" She took a step back and looked serious at him. "What do you mean by that?"
He sighed and sat back on the couch. "I know why we don't managed the scene and why we're so stressed."
"And why?," she asked cautiously, sitting down beside him. He looked deeply into her eyes. "I love you. And I think I've been doing it since a long time."
"Why didn't you ever say something?"
"Uncertainty. Besides, someone has said that it's not good to mix work and private life."
Erin rolled her eyes. "Let me guess, you were that, right?"
Logan laughed. "Maybe. Carlos, on the other hand, finds the opposite good."
"I think he's right."
Logan needed a moment to understand what she had said. Then it hit him. "You mean you agree?"
Erin rolled her eyes again. "Of course, you idiot. Do you think it's just you? I love you too. But out of respect for our friendship and work, I didn't say anything like you and..."
But Logan was no longer listening. He pulled her to him and kissed her. And both felt that this kiss was different than before. It lasted for a moment, but eventually they broke apart.
"Wow," Logan said. More didn't occur to him.
"Yes, I think there were enough feelings this time."
Logan grinned and asked, "So, shall we really dare? Are we together?"
"Yes, of course. But hopefully tomorrow will work so well in front of the camera."
"Certainly. But we could rehearse a few more. I'm sure we'll get even better."
Erin laughed. "You are crazy."
"Of course. One of us must be." He grinned. "I love you."
"I love you too," she said, and kissed him.
