Chapter One
Two months later
The first day of shooting brought tears, frustration, laughter, and complete insanity.
We were shooting the last scene of the script first. Don't ask me why the producers thought it was a good idea. That was the thing with movies; they didn't get shot in order.
It wasn't like reading a book. We rarely started with the first kiss and progressed.
I'd had movies where I had love scenes with the actress after introducing myself five minutes before. With acting, you were playing a part.
Both Alec and Demetri were on set because they had somehow wriggled their way into being able to do a few songs on the soundtrack, including the main theme song.
I say The Scene, because it was the one scene that had me nervous as hell. I'd been given five minutes to re-read my lines and mentally prepare.
âShit.â I almost spit onto the ground. âWhat is that?â I wiped my mouth, while the PA shrugged and walked off.
Demetri and Alec were giggling like schoolgirls in the corner.
âOut with it,â I growled.
âIt's called minty meadow,â Demetri said through laughter. âIt's organic.â
âIt tastes like flowers mixed with soil,â I pointed out.
âDude, you live in Oregon now. Hug a tree, adopt a pet, go green.â Alec pumped his fist into the air while I contemplated throwing a blunt object at his head.
âAll done.â My makeup artist beamed. âYou ready?â
AJ and I had done three movies together so I was used to her touching my face and asking me questions before scenes.
âYup.â I exhaled.
âGo get âem.â She winked.
âGo get âem?â I repeated in a low voice. âIs that what one says before a love scene? âGo get âem.â What exactly am I getting?â
She rolled her eyes and walked behind the camera while I stared at the set. It was supposed to be Harley's bedroom.
It was the most important scene in the movie, because not only was it the ending, but it was what hooked people for the next book and/or movie in the series.
I popped my knuckles and closed my eyes, going over my lines in my head one more time.
