Chapter 4 - Shades of Blue
-----------------------------------
I slowly opened my eyes and then jerked them wide open.
Today's the day! Two hotties are gonna be on the set and I am gonna look like crap because I didn't get enough sleep!
I leaped out of bed and jumped in the shower. I slapped some shampoo in my hair, got out of the shower, threw some clothes on, grabbed a cappachino, and ran out the door. I checked my reflection in the mirror and noticed my hair was a little tossled, but nothing a brush couldn't fix.
I knew I was over the speed limit, but I didn't care. This was the first time I'd actually be able to see David Anders in person! I was this way with MV, too. I had been so excited that I had accidently worn two different socks! Good thing I was wearing jeans that day! And WHY on earth did they have to be the ones with the little puff balls on the cuff? Ugh. I don't want to remember that.
I flashed my card at the gate and parked my car. I tried to calm down - I was acting like a junior higher on caffeine! Well, I was on caffeine, but....
I gasped. I stared. I didn't move. I felt like my feet were in cement. He was gorgeous. Skin the color of a mocha creme puff, eyes as blue as the sea, teeth whiter than snow, and his lips....o.....what can I say? His blond hair perfectly spiked with gel and his toned muscles very visible under his white T-shirt. His look was casual - just a white T, baggy, but not tight, stonewashed jeans, and some good old Nike shoes. I pulled myself out of the trance and went to sit down. I needed to after what I had seen!
I grabbed a bottle of water off the food table and took a drink. *Beep Beep Beep Bee-* I looked around to seee who's cell phone it was, and turned to see that it was David's.
"hello?" he said in his sexy accent.
"Andrea! Darling! Yes, I said I would. Yes! OK, love you too babe- bye."
Water came squirting out of my mouth. Did David Anders have a girlfriend? I chocked and coughed trying to absorb the fact. Of course, why not? I should've thought of that factor first! Not that I'd have any chance with him or anything, but hey, he's only a couple years older than me.
"Hey!" David said, heading towards me.
O. My. Gosh. He's walking towards me! His hand goes up and waves...at me? He's getting closer! He just SMILED at me! Oh, I think my knees are getting weak. I grabbed the edge of the table for support as he came closer - still smiling.
"I don't think I've seen you on the set before. Are you new? What's your name?" he said, his accent heavy.
Say something! Anything! Come on! Don't just stand there! My mouth moved, but no words came out.
"uh, ummm...actually," I fumbled for words. " yeah. I'm new." I said, looking at the floor, tugging the stray string on my shirt.
"I started last month. I'm...I'm just an extra." I said, trying not to look in his eyes, knowing that if I did I wouldn't be able to say anything - I'd be caught in the beautiful shades of blue. I wouldn't be able to say a thing.
"That's cool. well, I'm David Anders," he said, extending his hand for me to shake.
I quickly wiped my hand on my shorts to get rid of the sweat dripping off ot them. I extended my shaky hand and it met his. His hand big and strong; his hand shake firm and quick. I looked up into his eyes and smiled. The hand shake had been over far too quickly.
"Nice meeting you!" he said, turning.
I just nodded my head. It was all I could do right then.
"O!" he said, as he spun back around. " I didn't catch your name!"
"Tiff-" I cleared my throat " Tiffany." I said, loud and clear, gathering more confidence.
" All right then Tiffany! See you around!"
I sighed. Well, that could've been worse.
"Tiffany! there you are! Head over to makeup, we're gonna need you today! Samantha's sick." JJ ordered.
"but, you - oh, ok! That's - um... Sam's sick??"
"Yep. Bad case of the flu I believe." he said, rushing about. " You'll have to fill in for her until she's better. Now go! Let's get this show on the road!"
I rushed over to makeup - then to wardrobe. After I was done, I had had a complete transformation. Makeup for Sam's character was dark, and heavy on the eyeshadow - that's for sure! Where my costume didn't cover up - they sprayed a bronzer on my skin to make it darker.
Sam's character was mysterious, dark, and never really said much. She's an assistant to Sark and her 1st appearance was quite awhile ago - before I showed up, anyway.
I came on set and read what she was supposed to do. As I was reading, it occurred to me that Sark = David! Duh! Why hadn't I thought of that before? I told myself to just relax and that I could do this. Breath in...breath out...breath-
"Are you the same girl I was talking to a little bit ago?" David said as I breathed out.
I let out a nervous laugh. " Yeah, I think so. The first time I looked in the mirror I almost jumped!"
He chuckled. He had such a great smile.
"So are you ready for this?" he said, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah."
