So this is just something fun Cee and I did and I decided hey lets post it so enjoy and tell me what you think.
Mercedes glanced at the outfit they had her on, it was extremely short, and revealing. The definition of a little black dress, and it made her uncomfortable. "Bradley do I really have to wear this?" He nodded looking at her. "Yeah you look hot." she turned away from him. "This is just not me, I don't." She chewed her bottom lip. "Come on, I don't wear things like this, even if it's just a music video." "Merce sex sells, and the song is called "Loving Me." Now let's get on set."
She sighed heavily walking out of the dressing room and to the set, she was set to meet the guy who would be her on-screen love interest. Eyeing the back of the guy who she would be playing against, she smiled. Her best friend and Publicist walked up to her. "Sexy ass ain't it? He is perfect and sweet too. " Mercedes looked at Quinn. "Girl I am not looking so stop selling. Let's just get this over with so I can get out of this dress, I feel like my boobs are gonna pop out any minute." Quinn laughed. "You look good though." Moving closer to the guy she tapped his shoulder. "Hi I'm Mercedes Jones."
Sam was admittedly pretty nervous. He'd really wanted to book this job and now that he had, he didn't wanna do anything to screw it up. It would hopefully get his face out there and maybe even get him some runway shows. Turning at the touch, his face lit up. "Hi. Yeah, I know. I mean... sorry," he chuckled nervously. "I'm Sam. Sam Evans."
Mercedes smiled, Quinn was right he was really cute, he would do. "Nice to meet you Sam Evans." She moved closer to him. "So have they gone over the blocking with you? The first scene is the bedroom scene. We are in bed playing around laughing and well kissing, you just have to act in love and it should be over quickly."
Sam nodded slowly. "Yeah... I think I can pull that off," he decided, his eyes locked onto hers. This job just kept getting better and better.
Mercedes nodded. She was taken over to the bed as makeup touched her up and nodded for Sam to come. The slow tempo started and she smiled brightly looking at him. She stood pulling him closer to her as the director told Sam to pull her close.
Sam licked his lips to give them a nice sheen right before he stepped into frame. His arms went around her waist as his other hand ran along her arm, careful not to block her face at all. The smile remained on his face the whole time, the sparkle in his eyes.
She stared up to him, she couldn't control the fast pace her heart was beating, Sam was hot and she was more professional than this. She was directed to slow dance with him, so she placed her hand on his shoulders and someone yelled cut. The director walked over to her. "Mercy baby, this isn't working. This song is about being in love, you know you wrote it." "I know but being told what to do is just weird you know? You can't tell someone how to be in love it's a feeling." "Okay so what do you suggest?" She sighed wondering what she did suggest. Then she smiled. "Okay what if he is in bed, sleeping, and I am over him, singing to him?" The director nodded. "Okay let's try it,"
Sam nodded along, more than happy to do what he was told. He paused as he sat on the bed though, chewing his lips nervously. "I'm sorry. I'm know I'm just here to look pretty, but wouldn't it look a little odd for me to be sleeping in bed with all my clothes on?"
Mercedes glanced at him. "Okay you are not just here to look pretty, I mean you are but I want this to look as good as possible. As real as possible." She said. The director looked around and nodded. "Okay we need a wardrobe change. Get Evans into a pair of Pajama bottoms...no boxers. And get Merce changed too." She stood. "I should change?" "You can't be in bed with him fully dressed when he isn't." She nodded going back to wardrobe and after 15 minutes, she walked out wearing a blush babydoll dress, her hair up in a messy bun with trendals falling on both sides of her face.
Sam smiled at what he was pretty sure was her calling him pretty before he was whisked off to wardrobe again. He returned in the fresh pajama pants and nothing else, glad he'd gotten in an extra workout that morning. And, god, she looked even hotter now.
When her eyes met Sam's she had to exhale before she could speak up. He was sexy as hell. Moving to the bed she sat down and waited for him to join her. When he did, she smiled. "Ready?" She said as she nodded for them to start the music.
Sam laid out on the bed and gave a small thumbs up before he laid his head back and closed his eyes. Sleeping was something he had a lot of experience in, so he was pretty sure he could fake it well enough.
The music started and Mercedes began to sing along with her music. Sam was "sleep" or pretending to be sleep as she continued. Her hand stroked his hair, then she was told to bend down and kiss him. Taking a breath she bent down, kissing him softly."
Sam's eyes fluttered open at the feel of her lips against his and he completely forgot he was acting for just a moment. Her lips were so soft and he couldn't help the smile that spread across his face as she pulled back again.
"Cut!" she heard and smiled. "You weren't supposed to open your eyes." she whispered to him.
"Shit," Sam muttered, attempting to look as apologetic as he could. "Sorry. You're just... real good at that."
Mercedes blushed. "Its okay."
"What if she wakes him up with the kiss, and he kisses her back. Could be hot." Someone said who she didn't recognize but she knew he came with Sam. Her manager nodded and so did the director she she just went with it.
Sam shot a look over at his own manager and best friend. He knew it would get him some more prominent screen time probably, but he had a feeling it was brought up for Sam's sake more than anything.
The music started again and she did the same thing. But when it was time for her to kiss him, she didn't hesitate this time. She just went in and kissed him.
He repeated his actions from the first time, but this time went in for a second kiss after the first.
When Sam went in and kissed her again, she kissed him back, and even when she heard for them to bring more heat, she didn't let it stop her. She moaned into the kiss really getting into it. Really loving the feel of his lips on hers.
Sam gasped slightly at the way she kissed him. He knew this was going to be a good job, but he had no idea he was going to enjoy it this much. He kept on kissing her until he heard 'cut' again. "Was that... okay?"
When they called cut, she looked at Sam. "That was good..." good that was great. She said to herself.
"Okay guys that was great, we are gonna reset and take it from the pool scene. So go change."
Mercedes smiled at Sam as she stepped off the bed. "Until the pool." Walking back Quinn came up besides her. "Soo? How was it? It looked hot."
Mercedes laughed grabbing the suit. "It was...amazing. He is a great kisser." She took care of changing into a red two piece and black sarong. "Plus you saw him shirtless, sometimes I really love my job." She walked out towards the pool as Makeup pulled her to fix her hair and makeup.
Sam gave her a little wave and looked up as his manager came to stand beside him.
"Come on then, mate. You need to get changed," Austin told him in his deep Irish accent.
"I just... need a minute, bro," Sam told him as he grabbed a pillow and ignored his friend's snickers. Once he'd calmed down, so to speak, he got himself into wardrobe quickly. They put him in trunks and a white tank and he fixed his hair before he stepped out by the pool with a sigh.
Mercedes listened to the direction of this scene. Sam is in the background hanging with guys at the pool and she is with her friends, she spots Sam and he spots her. Pretty straight forward. Then she sings. Walking to the pool, she sat down with a group of girls, her backup singers, and waited for Sam to get in position and the music to start.
Sam gave her a little wave as he walked to the chairs at the back of the pool where he'd been sent. He exchanged greetings with some of the other guys. He took a seat and waited until they started rolling before getting up again and walking along the side of the pool, his eyes meeting Mercedes from across the water.
As the music started and his eyes met hers, for a moment, there was this connection, one that she couldn't explain. She started to sing staring at Sam, after a moment she was directed to walk towards him slowly as she sung. Moving to the beat of the music until they met in the middle. She continued to sing as the reached each other. Her eyes had never left his and when the director yells cut, and had them reset to do it again, she had to mentally remind herself this was just a music video.
Sam couldn't help but watch her walk back, blinking a couple times before he turned to move back to his own starting mark. He took a few deep breaths, trying to remind himself what he was doing here. He wanted to do well and not go and make the talent completely uncomfortable with his creepy stares.
Once the music started again she repeated her actions, meeting Sam's eyes. They made their way towards each other. Sam was directed to stand behind her and dance with her as she sang into the camera.
Sam's hands rested on Mercedes' waist as his body moved to the music. It really was a great song and she sounded amazing singing it. His eyes stayed on her the whole time.
Mercedes turned her head, raising her hand to his neck, singing to him. The camera panned around them as she turned towards him completely. Her arms wrapped around his neck and she pressed herself against him.
God, why did he want to kiss her again so badly? That was definitely not what he was supposed to be doing right now and he was not about to get himself in trouble again. But she looked so good. He drug his bottom lip through his teeth as he moved with her.
The words of the song left her lips but all she could think about was how much she wanted his lips. Her eyes caught the way he bit his lip and if they hadn't called cut, she would have definitely leaned in.
"Okay time to take it to the bridge as they say, and that's the last scene before we break. Back in wardrobe be out in ten." The director said and she pulled away from Sam and smiled as she walked away. Quinn linked her arm in Mercedes and smiled. "That man was looking at you like you were a piece of steak and he wanted to bite into you."
Mercedes laughed. "Girl stop, he is just a good actor is all. Now help me get into this ridiculous dress." She said making her way back to her dressing room.
Sam walked over to Austin and grabbed the front of his jacket. "Dear Lord, help me. That woman is gorgeous and I don't wanna get blacklisted for jumping the talent."
Austin just laughed and put an arm around Sam's shoulders to lead him back to wardrobe. "Just keep it together, mate, okay? You're doing great."
Mercedes changed into the Purple evening Gown with a slit up each side. Walking to makeup they fixed her hair in an updo and added her makeup. She stepped into her heels and went to the stage where the "Living Room" was set up. She spoke about blocking and how Sam would be sitting on the couch waiting for her, as she walked in, singing to him. She nodded getting her mind on what she had to do and not how hot Sam was probably gonna look in a tux.
Sam was glad he was at least wearing some actual clothes this time around so he hopefully wouldn't embarrass himself completely. He didn't really know why he was wearing a tux, but he wasn't going to question it. Plus, he looked pretty damn good. Adjusting his jacket, he stepped onto set and sat where he was told, his eyes still traveling over to Mercedes every time someone wasn't talking to him.
Mercedes stood at the door, as the music started, she smiled leaning against the door and singing. The camera panned around her and she made her way to the living room where Sam was sitting, she went to his side. She was directed to sit on Sam's lap and sing to him. After a cut and discussion on how she should be sitting on him, they decided or rather her team decided that Mercedes should straddle him. Repeating her actions as she moved towards him, she straddled his lap, singing to him, her hands around his neck as she stared into his eyes.
Sam's hands naturally went to rest on her thighs. The tip of his tongue touched his top lip as he looked her up and down. Yes, he was doing his best to look in love and look turned on like he knew he would be in this situation. Mostly because, well, he was. And he'd only just met the woman.
Mercedes continued to sing to Sam, taking direction and trying her best to ignore the feeling in the pit of her stomach. She was told to "freeze" and just look at Sam and she did. Sam looked so in love and she could see why he was hired. As she stared at him, all she wanted to do was give into temptation and just kiss him. The director yells Cut! And she quickly moved off his lap.
"Okay that's lunch. You guys looked great, when we come back we are gonna take the other couch scene."
He walked away and Mercedes looked at Sam. "It's the pivotal moment of the video, its where my character realizes that her friend is more than just a friend. We are on the couch talking and laughing and then you kiss me and well you can guess how it goes." She said wanting to make sure Sam knew that that was the scene she really wanted to get right. She would have asked him to practice it with her but she figured he didn't need it.
Sam quickly brought his knees together and leaned forward, resting his elbows on top of them, to cover anything that needed covering. He listened to her intently and nodded along. "Yeah... I think I can figure that out," he chuckled. "I think I can definitely manage that."
Mercedes nodded turning to leave but stopped. "I don't know if you are a fan or not, or if you have seen any of my videos, but this is new for me. Most of my videos are tame but this new Album is all about being in love and well this single is gonna be on the soundtrack of this new movie, should I ever find my leading man, I had one but he was not was not easy to work with, anyways this is new and I am nervous if you can tell...it's just new so if I am making you uncomfortable I am sorry."
Sam's eyebrows raised a little as he listened to her ramble on. It was really adorable. He quickly shook his head once she finished though. "Oh, no! No, not at all. I think you're doing amazing," he told her sincerely. "The video's turning out great and you look great and... I just don't wanna embarrass myself. Cause you're just doing too good of a job convincing parts of me that you want me... if you know what I mean."
She blushed, he was making her blush and she couldn't hide it. "I am sorry about that, I would say I can tone it down but I don't think they want me too." She teased. "You are doing a great job too." It was then that something dawned on her. "How would you feel about, making this job last a little longer?" She sat back on the chair. "I told you we lost our leading man, and you are leading man in the video...would you like to audition for the movie? Unless you don't please don't think you have to do it, it was just a thought."
"Nothing to be sorry about, believe me. Didn't say I wasn't enjoying it," Sam pointed out with a smile. "I just don't want to make you uncomfortable either." His eyebrows shot up at her suggestion and he let out a surprised puff of air. "Seriously? Me? You think I'd even have a shot?"
She laughed. "Yeah well I could tell that you were enjoying it. I am just a lady so I don't bring up such things." she said with a laugh. Nodding she glanced up to him. "You never know until you try." She stood up and grabbed the script. "Here show me what you go. Page 34. This scene is where Lexie tells Axel that she loves him. Let's see what you got." She moved away from him and took a breath before turning toward him. "You are my best friend Axel, my life wouldn't be as great as it is if you weren't in it. But I can't sit here and watch you marry her, not when I..." she turned away from him, waiting for Sam to do his line.
Sam's face turned a bright shade of red and he looked down at the ground, rubbing the back of his head with his hand. He took the offered script though and flipped through it. "Not even gonna give me time to prepare, huh?" he teased as he looked over the page. "I don't... read real fast," he admitted, still doing his best to get the gist of what was happening. Nodding, he stood up, still hanging onto the page for reference. He took a breath and reached out, taking a hold of her arm with his hand and turning her back towards him. "Not when you what? Just say it."
Mercedes shook her head. "Too much time to think about it, and it might make you not want to do it." She shook her head. "It's just the two of us Sam, so take your time and see if you like it." She watched go over the script and turned away after saying her line again. When he grabbed her arm and turned her back towards him, she had glossy eyes. "Just say it? Like its that easy!" She shook her head. "I have tried to say it, do you know how many conversations we have had about this in my head? How many times I just wanted to admit that I..." She stared up to him. "I love you, that I am in love with you!"
Something about the way she looked when she said that to him had Sam's heart beating faster, his breath hitching. He paced and ran a hand through his hair before turning back to her quickly. "And you picked today to tell me this? After... everything."
She took a step back. "I didn't pick today! I would have gladly taken this to the grave but then she walked down the aisle at the rehearsal dinner and I just I knew this was wrong. She is wrong for you. Tell me you don't love me, tell me that you don't feel anything for me and I will put on that stupid dress and I will support you."
Sam let out a heavy sigh, doing his best to let the emotions wash through him. He hadn't exactly acted a ton outside of a couple commercials. He glanced back at the script quickly. "She..." He looked away from her dramatically and spoke quietly. "You know I can't do that."
She moved over to him turning his face back to hers. Hand on his face she stared into his eyes. "Then tell me you love me." She said softly, pleading eyes.
The script fell out of Sam's hands and they went to her waist instead. He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, quite possibly forgetting what they were even doing anymore. But how was he supposed to not kiss her when she looked at him like that?
She was caught by surprise when he pulled her closer and kissed her but she was happy he did. Her arms went around his neck as she stood on her tippy toes, kissing him back deeply.
Sam moaned softly against Mercedes' lips and he drew her against his body as he kept on kissing her. He finally pulled back, breath heavy, and stared down at her not even sure what to say at that point.
Mercedes stared up to Sam, she was shocked, he kissed her, but more so shocked that she pulled him back to her and kissed him again, tongue pushing through his lips.
"Mmm," Sam hummed with slight surprise, his hands tightening around her waist. His knees got a little weak and he sank down, perched on the arm of the chair beside them. He kept on kissing her though, finding he never wanted to stop.
He sat down and she moved between his legs, moaning against his lips, Hands tugging at the short strands of his hair. She needed more and he didn't disappoint.
"So..." He spoke between kisses. "Are we just gonna pretend we're still acting or...?" He grinned as he kissed her again, his hands sliding up her body.
Mercedes laughed slightly. "Yeah totally acting." She lied. "You know...we can practice some more in my dressing room, the couch is way more comfortable." She said pulling her lips away. "I mean we want to make sure we knock these scenes out the park and practice makes perfect..."
"Right... practice," Sam agreed with a little smirk. "I'd very much like to see this comfy couch." He stood up again, happy to follow her whenever she led him at this point.
"Aye, I brought you food," Austin announced, salad bowl in hand as he walked into the room.
Sam's eyes widened and he reached out to take it. "Oh, um... thank you. We're just gonna... have lunch in Mercedes' dressing room. So I will see you later."
Mercedes didn't miss the look on Austin's face, but she didn't care. The moment the door shut she pushed him against the door and took his lips back in hers. If you want the part its yours. I think we have a lot of chemistry, she said as her hands ran up his chest. "I can help you run lines and every thing."
Sam pulled the jacket off himself and tossed it without much thought to where it would land. "Mmhmm, lines," he repeated breathlessly as he cupped her face and kissed her deeply once again. He'd just technically been offered a part in an actual movie and it was the last thing on his mind right now.
She reached behind him locking the door as her hands went to the button down dress shirt. Her hands reaching to feel as much skin as she could. Pulling him to her couch she pushed him down and straddled him, lips moving to his neck.
"Fuck," Sam whispered as he fell back on the couch and stared up at her. His hands fell to her thighs and he slid them up as far as the slits would allow.
Mercedes smiled, that reaction fueling her on. She went back to his lips, nipping at them as she did so. "I don't normally do this...but your lips are addicting." she hissed out.
"I can safely say I've never done this on a job before," Sam chuckled before he returned her kiss, sucking her bottom lip between his own.
He sucked on her bottom lip and she groaned. "You are such a great kisser."She said as her hips thrust against his. "So good."
Sam moaned wantonly as her movement sent friction to his lower half. "God, you are gorgeous," he breathed out as his hands traveled up her body and over her breasts, wishing this dress was out of his way.
She hissed biting at his lower lip then sucking on it. She kissed him deeply loving the way his hands roamed around her body. She reached for the zipper on her dress when someone knocked on the door. She ignored them pulling him closer but the knocking continued. "Yes?"
"Mercedes you are needed on set in 10 minutes."
She sighed heavily. "Okay." Sitting up she smiled down to Sam, his lips as swollen as hers and hair disheveled. "I guess we gotta go."
Sam let out a little whine and looked up at her with dark eyes. "Aren't you in charge around here?" he teased, sitting up and kissing her one more time. He drug his own lip through his teeth as he considered his words. "Feel free to tell me to fuck off, but... how would you like to come back to my place after the shoot?"
Mercedes laughed. "I don't like to go all Diva on people, it makes them want to work with me more." She was about to move off of his lap but stopped. He asked her over to his place and it shocked her, I mean yeah they were making out but she figured it was mostly part of the job. "You are inviting me over to your place? And what would we do when we get there?"
The left side of Sam's mouth curled up as he stared at her. "Whatever you wanna do," he told her. "Though I have to admit, I was kinda hoping we could continue this."
She smiled. "I suppose we could continue this later. If you agree to audition for my movie. I think we have a lot of chemistry on camera and I think you would be perfect for the part." She said still sitting on his lap.
"I don't know about you, but... I think we have a lot of chemistry off camera too," Sam told her with a little knowing grin.
Another knock came at the door. "C'mon, lover boy. We have to get you changed," came a familiar Irish accent.
Sam sighed and smiled up at her. "You got yourself a deal. Guess we better get back to work."
Mercedes nodded. "I agree." As the second knock came she gave him one last kiss before getting up and making herself look presentable.
