"Cut!" Jon heard from across the set. "That was great!" the director shouted at him.
Jon was standing mere inches away from Mark Ruffalo, in nothing more than a thin robe, filming a very intimate scene.
"How did that take feel?" Mark asked Jon with a slight nervous smile.
"Um," Jon recalled the feel of his lips on Mark's "Good. I think it was good." he said.
"But not great?" Mark asked, clearly hoping for a better response.
"What?" Jon chirped, shocked. "No! No, Mark, it was really good. Honest." Jon took Mark's hands in his own. He felt he needed to reassure his co star. "The last Ten takes were all great!" Jon felt Mark's hands tighten over his own, and realized how much smaller his own hands were in comparison.
"Honestly?" Mark asked.
"Yeah." Jon said, reassuringly. "I really felt it that time. The passion between our characters, and the reluctance at the same time. I'm pretty sure we got it perfectly on that last take." The first few takes were slightly awkward, as Jon was very nervous, but after three takes of kissing this man, and trying to convince everyone in the room that they were in love, Jon realized it wasn't working because he, himself, didn't believe it. The next few takes were much better when Jon had convinced himself that he was this woman, Natasha Romanov, and that he was in love with this man in front of him.
Jon's only problem now was that he still felt attraction towards this man, he could feel himself trying to push these feelings away, but deep down, he felt this man was very sexy. Jon didn't like these thoughts, and tried to convince himself that Mark wasn't sexy, but he knew that was a lie. He then thought that Mark may indeed be sexy, but not as sexy as Chris was, and Jon used these thoughts to push the thoughts about Mark away. Chris was younger, his smile was better, and his eyes were dreamier.
Jon knew that Mark couldn't hold a candle to Chris. Chris was rock solid, his arms, chest, and abs were all perfect. Chris was sexy. Mark was very cute, but nothing like Chris.
"JON!" he heard a woman cry out from across the studio. Jon snapped out of his daydream and saw Scarlett rushing toward him from across the set. She was wearing a tight red mini skirt, and a tank top that clung to her every curve. Her heels were impractically tall, and her hair and face were far from the perfect image she usually portrayed.
"Scarlett?" he asked, leaving a slightly stunned Mark. "Where have you been?" Scarlett finally caught up with him and pulled him into a very tight hug. Her breasts pressing against his face, as in her heels and his bare feet, she was taller than him.
"Oh my God, Jon! My alarm clock didn't go off this morning, I fucked everything up!" he could tell she was about to start crying.
"Oh, No Scarlett, everything is fine! Don't worry!" He tried to calm her as he could see Joss walking towards them.
"Jon, I just watched that last take again, it was perfect. We're printing it, and wrapping for the day." Joss said as Scarlett looked up at their Director. "Scarlett, is everything okay?" he asked.
"Ye-yes." she said through a sniffle. "My alarm..." she started.
"Don't worry about it." Joss said with a smile. "Jon here covered for you today. You're really lucky to have someone like him to cover your ass." It was in this moment that Scarlett realized that Jon was in costume for the farmhouse scene she was supposed to have with Mark Ruffalo.
"You shot my scene today?" Scarlett asked Jon in complete shock. Jon was extremely worried that Scarlett was going to be pissed off at him, as movie stars were very serious about their screen time.
"Uh... well.... you see...." he stuttered, pulling the thin robe closer to his body, as if hoping he could hide.
"Jon." Scarlett said very seriously. Jon was mentally preparing for her to start screaming at him.
"Scarlett...." he said very softly.
"Thank you!" she said, very much to his surprise, as she wrapped him in another hug.
Before he could squeak out a very surprised "You're welcome?" he heard Karyn rushing over to them.
"Jon!" she shouted "What are you doing? You've got to get changed, the Doctor's appointment is in twenty minutes, come on!" Scarlett released him from the hug, looked deep into his shocked and embarrassed face and asked,
"Doctor?"
