Cut It's a wrap - Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1

She has to master this character fast. The scene will roll in few minutes. Megan keeps on flipping her script reading the dialog and clears her mind. Once in a while she will glance to her partner Baron Chen who is sitting across her. He appears to be focus on the script without noticing his surroundings. Today is their first scene together.

 

 When Baron arrived they exchanges greetings and do some bonding exercises together. Even though they have been working together a few years back this time it would not be the same.  For one Baron became more matured, more stylist and more handsome than she ever remembered.  Compare to the past this time he made her heart skip a beat. 

Actually without Megan’s knowledge, Baron already noticed her glances towards him since he arrived at the filming location. After he greeted everyone at the set, he had directly taken a seat across her, greeting her with a smile and started to read his script while the stylist placed make up on both of them for the upcoming scene. 

Baron knows Megan is a bright and friendly person. He also knows she is definitely perfect for the character but today Megan seems quieter than he recalls. When he tried to initiate a topic with her she was quite absentminded instead of focus. Baron gives her questioning look. 

When the director calls them to start the shoot, both of them quickly walk towards the directed area to rehearse their act both of them were nervous and wanted to acquaint themselves to the feeling and motions of their character. Both were perfectionists in their own way and wanted to create a perfect scene. They keep on doing the same scene over and over for various angles. Megan and Baron did a perfect job for every scene that involves both of them to interact without much difficulty. It had reached the point where there was less and less NG.  

Perhaps Megan sometimes blushes whenever Baron touches her hand during a scene. It was noticeable to Baron but he brushes off his thoughts to keep his professional attitude in check. He remembered the scene where he and Megan have to dance while wearing a suit. It was kind of funny but Megan embraced the scene very well and when he stared into her eyes it gave him something unfamiliar in his heart. A quick shock that jump started his heart. 

At the ends of the day when they have break between the scene Baron walks to Megan and sits in front of her. 

“Hey, are you okay?” He ask while drink his water bottle.

 Megan startles before answering “Yes, I’m okay. Good. Why?.”

 “No, it’s that today you seem a little bit lost, not like your usual self. That’s why I ask”. He chuckles and answers her puzzle look.

Megan took a long breath, “I am not.  I just feel a little tired”. 

With that answered Baron nodded and lean his back to the chair and closed his eyes.

Megan looks at him and studies his facial structure. Her glances travel’s from his stern forehead to the tip of his nose and end up at his lips. Those kissable lips.

She stares for quite some time until she hears something drop. Leaning back she positions her body straight and away from Baron, before anyone notices her lapse and focus on the handsome man before her. Megan shakes her head to brush of the thought in her mind and continue reading her script. Trying to draw herself away from the figure in front of her and trying to create Pi Ya Nuo to make her memorable to those that would be watching their film.

A few minutes passed and Baron eyelashes lifted, he rubs his neck and stretches slowly, the willow figure that was dressed in men’s clothing was fetching in his opinion. Megan was always different in his opinion, he hadn’t talk much to her, since his filming in China and he felt that there lingers this pulse of attraction that he felt for her. 

 Baron felt she changed, full of life and a twinkle of spark in her eyes that matured to where she would give as good as she got from those around her. A playful happy Megan, even as she sat quietly absorb in the script, recalling and remembering, he was impressed by her. 

For someone like Baron, he couldn’t wait to have fun with her to create this character to match up to her. Then again he felt competitive, could she match up to his character? A glim of mischief spark and his lips quirked up on one side as the hair dresser came over to spray chemicals into his hair to make it stiff to hold.
