Behind the End - Herophine

36 - WEEK 6

The day off before the sixth week had a lot of drinks and everybody enjoying the days off. Our producer insisted on going to the market and filling the cart with snacks and drinks, we put on a loud sound and the party started, everyone enjoying, talking, we chose a larger, cozy room for everyone to sit and enjoy drinks and conversations.

"How about we play... Truth or dare?"

Jô, who was sitting next to me, starts to laugh, and we all laugh with her.

"Are you kidding or are you serious?" Louise asks, still laughing.

"I'm in!" Chance said by raising his arm, and many others followed "I'm in too", all agreed to play the actors and production, so they started asking questions after turning over one of the already empty bottles:

"Jô for Castille."

"Truth or Dare?"

"Truth! Jô, be careful with the question..."

"Is it true that you will be participating in the movie?"

"Shhhh, I already said that I will not answer that even for the actors, you will only know when everything is ready! Is smart this girl..."

Castille spins the bottle smiling and stops on for Chance to ask Carter:

"Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"Is it true that you have already been interested in an actress you acted with?"

That question upset my stomach. I feel Carter's eyes on Jô, and then Chance. Everyone in the room exchanges lost looks:

"Truth!"

I feel Jô looking at me, I look at the floor to try to disguise it, but my hand was already scratching my neck, then on my hair, I tried not to react but... Impossible!

"Okaaaay, spin that bottle!" Louise says, I believe she also noticed the mood in the room.

The game continued, they challenge Kiana to make a top five of who is missing most in Bulgaria, she puts her boyfriend in first place for obvious reasons. The director answers if it is true that he has "helped" himself in times of need during the quarantine and being in another country, Jô looked at me with a dirty expression and I looked back to her. Louise says that what she misses most besides her family and being at home is sex too, agreeing with the director. And finally the bottle stops in me, I choose dare, I feel Jô blush, but it was obvious that nobody was going to ask us to do anything, on the contrary, Stephen challenges me to ask for the number of one of the receptionists at the hotel who was staring at me... But before for me to get up one of the producers said:

"Oh, I'm tired of this game... Shall we play another game?"

"Like which one?" A silence took over the room and Castille has the idea:

"How about Never Have I Ever?"

"I'm in!" Chance again is the first to raise his hand.

And we started the game, we were already a little more drunk so no one would remember what would be said in detail, or we would said things that we shouldn't... Frances, Mira, Rob and Arielle had already said goodbye and gone back to their rooms. Castille begins:

"Never have I ever... Dated with someone hidden."

Some people drank, even Jô, I did not know whether to drink or not, after all, who drinks was the one who had already done the thing. I've never dated anyone, so I didn't drink... But Chance was prepared to release another hint, does someone ask to him to sleep please?

"Just dating or is it worth making out and hidden kisses too?" He looks at me.

"It's worth it too!" So everyone, including me drank, Chance and Jô, drank almost letting the drink out when they laughed in my face.

"Never have I ever 'relieved' me in Bulgaria!" A producer said, everyone looks at each other and another producer asks:

"Define 'relieve'."

"Masturbate, make out with someone..."

"I already answered that!" The other producer screams and drinks.

Some people drink, including me and Jô. It still couldn't know what had happened between us... But I think many people already suspected...

Several questions were asked, "nerver have I ever standin up on the table", "never have I ever did a sexy dance to someone...", "never have I ever pretended to orgasm", the questions that are usually asked in these games between friends, I didn't remember more than half of the questions already done, I had drunk a lot and I was sleepy, so my neurons didn't think anymore... After many answers, we decided it was time to go back to the rooms, it was late and the next day we were going to shoot at dawn, so we would have to rest a lot to not look like a drunk in the movie. Jô and I agreed that it was better to sleep apart to rest as much as we could, because when we are together we get even more tired, I kiss her and go into my room.

The week was already busy, we shot scenes at Vance's house, scenes at the office, and in places that resembled London and New York... Scenes of older Hardin, writer, with his book. Jô explained to me exactly what happened in the book in a certain part. Castille and the producers sought perfection, they wanted the movie as close to the book as possible, in great detail. We shot scenes together, scenes with Chance and Carter. Jô had separate schedules from mine on certain days, shooted alone, Tess and Landon, and at another time, Tessa and Robert. In the meantime, I was talking to the M-Boys, or to my parents, telling them how everything was going, the Covid tests that we were obliged to do, if I was taking care of myself, if they were taking care of themselves, I agree to make a video call with the guys as soon as I was free again and one of them, the owner of one of the clothing brands I brought to promote, asked me to help him, and I said I would.

The brand calls it Goat, and when I'm walking down one of the streets in Bulgaria in my spare time, I come across just one, take a photo and send it to him, who send to the group of everyone and they mess up around in messages:

"That's my Boy!"

"Not even the goat gives him a time!"

"Even it falls in love for this man!"

"He's really famous..."

"Close your eyes if you're going to be with it, huh?"

"Is Jô free?"

I laugh out loud in the middle of the street and send an audio:

"Screw you guys!"

Other comments begins:

"Woww, Jô is his."

"I just hope he brings her for us to meet next time ..."

And I write back:

"We will talk better tomorrow, I have to go back to the set." I keep walking to my trailer, ready to start touching up all my character's tattoos
