Disclaimer: All right, this story is not real. NOT REAL! Not to be read by anyone under the age of 18/21 yadda yadda yadda! I'd love to hear some feedback as per usual so please feel free to leave me a comment in the comment box at the end of the story! You see those big empty stars down there as well? Did you want to maybe fill them up? We don't want them empty and all alone like that. You're not a monster are you?
Also, please don't post this on any other site without my explicit permission. I've had to bring the hammer down on two thieves right as of writing and don't want to bring it down again.
"Ohhhh-Oh shit, sorry, I looked right into the camera." Anna Kendrick cursed as she leaned back on the guy she was 'riding' and the crew of her new television show 'Love Life' came to a grumbling stop. The series of men all sort of took a couple of steps back and the scene was broken. The pint-sized superstar's cheeks flushed with a shade of pink as embarrassment flushed through her body and she was left responsible for breaking yet another scene by her just not acting like the popular movie star she apparently was. The crew all made some hushed whispers to one another but never actually said anything to her. She looked around the group of guys and girls before the man underneath her made a noise and the Pitch Perfect star looked down at him before she realised she still had him trapped underneath her.
"Crap, Ben! Sorry man." She apologised as she dismounted the studly man and moved to the side of the bed still on her knees and looking over to him. He smiled and threw his hands up in a 'Don't worry about it!' sort of manner as he wriggled himself up to a sitting position so the two actors could share a look with each other. Anna was about to speak again to apologise for screwing up another scene when Nicole Clarke, the director of this particular episode, broke the two's gaze at each other.
"Nicole I-"
"Don't worry about it Anna, we're getting a lot of issues with this episode. I think we're going to take a break for lunch now though so you guys can run your lines if you want or just get something to eat. You know... Whatever." The woman added that last part and it almost seemed like she was just trying to get out of the conversation. She looked at them both before offering a half hearted smile and turned to leave them alone.
Anna watched the woman leave and she let out another defeated sigh before swinging her whole body around so that she was sitting on the side of the bed and looking around the emptying set. A couple of the cast and crew looked over their shoulders towards her before just looking ahead and back towards where they were going. She knew it wasn't exactly her fault but she couldn't help but take it almost personally. Watching them leave the two alone, she looked over her own shoulder to her co-star who was already moving off of the bed to go and join the team of crew who were going for lunch.
The weight in the bed shifted slightly and Anna was left alone on the set and on the bed. Looking over to it and then the studio cameras which had all drooped down as if they were asleep or something, Anna looked down at the covers of the bed before sighing and climbing off of the bed and up to her feet. This was maybe the twentieth time that the scene had been reshot because of her actions and the weight of fucking everyone's day up was starting to really get to her. Walking off of the set and towards one of the side rooms where rows of white craft tables sat and the cast and crew of the show were all assembled eating at their lunches. Anna quickly got her own food and looked around the inside of the room, searching for a place to sit.
'Just like high school.' Anna thought to herself as she walked through the rows of tables, her eyes scanned for someone who wasn't looking at her like she was the scum of the earth and saw Ben sitting by himself and eating his dinner. He was sitting towards the back of the room and rather than there being a series of long tables with matching rows, Ben and some of the other table occupants were sitting on what looked to be plastic lawn chairs. Standing in front of Ben, the two actors in the sex scene shared a look before he looked around the room and then offered her to take a seat.
His eyes were locked on hers as she slipped onto the chairs opposite him and she started to stab at her salad with her fork. She sort of slumped backwards in her chair before she looked over to him and chewed down on her bottom lip. She looked down to the craft table before looking back up to him. Leaning back in her chair, she crossed her arms over the fabric of her black dress and laying them on her stomach. She looked him in the eyes before she spoke to him.
"So, everyone on this set hates me huh?" She asked, almost as if she wanted a clarification on where her mind was at currently. He shook his head, tossing a piece of chicken salad into his mouth, chewing on it before he answered her.
"The team here aren't mad at you or anything like that Anna," Ben said, taking a sip of his water. "They're all just wanting to get in, get their job done and go home. Having to redo the scene over and over again is just getting on their nerves."
"I just don't get it." Anna complained, her fork stabbing at a slice of tomato and then just pushing it around her dinner plate. "I've never had this sort of issue before. Never. I don't know why this scene is screwing me up so much." She said, sitting upright in the chair and pushing the piece of salad into her mouth.
"Is it the sex scene?" Ben asked, looking over to her as he ate at his dinner.
"I mean... Maybe? I've never really done a sex scene before. I've done all sorts of explicit scenes before but nothing as intense as this one. I might just be struggling because it's so wild." Anna mused, looking over to Ben who smirked at the comment. "What?"
"I remember the first time I had an issue performing a sex scene on camera. It is really difficult." Ben said, nodding his head.
"You've done a sex scene before?" Anna asked.
"Yeah, some old show back when digital was a new thing." He said with a smile. "But yeah, I was in a sex scene with a couple of actresses-"
