Today is our final day of filming. My last scene is with Erana and it's our most intimate one yet.
I'm super nervous but at the same time, it's just acting.
I had another scene before that though. In my head I was hoping it would last forever so I didn't have to film the scene with Erana but as to be expected, it ended oddly quick.
"Hey can we um.. Can we talk?" I hear Erana's voice from behind me call out and I turn my attention to her.
I was sitting in my cast chair talking to Sarah about Brody.. I wonder if she heard our conversation.
"Yeah," I say and she nods her head indicating she wanted to go elsewhere. "I'll be back," I say and touch Sarah's arm before following Erana.
She opens up a trailer door and I follow her inside closing the door behind me. "Must be important," I say and smile to her but I'm met with a straight face. Almost as if she was mad.
"What's that look for?" I question nervously and fiddle my fingers nervously.
"I don't want this to be awkward like our scene were about to film," She says and I laugh in relief.
"Don't worry Erana I'm not gonna make it noticeable that we have any sort of emotions towards each other off screeen," I assure her and she shakes her head taking a step towards me. She looked nervous now.
"No it's not even that I just want to make sure like I don't know.. You know that I want to well I just-"
"Erana what's up?" I cut her off hearing her stutter out some nonsense.
"Here sit," I insist as I sit on the couch and she follows. "You know you can still talk to me right?" I add and she look over to me with a nervous smile.
"I mean can I?" She questions and I crease my eyebrows. "Yes Erana, always," I say and grab onto her hand tightly.
"I really want this scene to be amazing," She begins and I nod in agreement. "Me too," I reply. "And like if this show doesn't get renewed it could be our last time being intimate.." She mumbles and I look into her eyes. "Mia I just I want it to be real," She finishes and I nod with a smile.
"Then let it be real," I tell her and pull her hand to my face kissing the back of it.
"Do I sound completely insane?" She asks and I laugh pulling my hands away from hers.
"No I get it.." I say and she nods. "Well that's really all I had to say," She mumbles and I stand up.
"Then let's go do this," I say and smile down at her.
We walk back to the tent and I reclaim my seat beside Sarah.
"What was that about?" She asks glancing at Erana who went to sit beside Sophia.
"I'll tell you tonight," I say. "Must be good," She replies and I nod..
I can't tell if it was good or not.. I mean she basically said without the show there's no chance of us being intimate again.
Yeah maybe it's not as good as I thought at first.
Erana and I are called to film our final scene of season one and my nerves suddenly kick it.
Now I get why Erana was so nervous.
"Places!"
I look to Erana as we begin to walk through the woods with Jenna.
That part was easy. There was only a couple mistakes that we had to re-film because of but that was it.
Jenna's scenes were wrapped and now it was only Erana and I.
"Are you nervous?" Erana asks as we wait for the cameras to begin rolling. "Not at all," I lie with a smile and she just nods in response.
We begin our scene and Erana messed up her line almost right away. I almost felt bad because you can clearly tell she was nervous.
"We've got this," I mumble and grab her hand in support and she squeezes back before pulling away.
Surprisingly we did pretty well sticking to the script and not messing up as we filmed in the woods.
eventually we were led straight to the lychee tree where our kiss scene was meant to happen.
We begin to indulge in the lychees until we were meant to kiss.
Erana messes up just before she was supposed to wipe my face.
The cameras pick up where we left off and this time she made no mistake.
I take a step closer grabbing onto her face pressing our lips together.
"Are you sure?" Erana.. well Toni asks and I take a few seconds before stepping forward again and kissing her.
Our lips part and I lay my forehead against hers. "I'm sure," I mumble, the lump in my throat clear as day in my voice. We press our lips together once more and I grab onto her tank top pulling it off and then my own shirt only parting for a second or so before we met each others lips again.

It felt like literal fireworks exploding in my stomach. I missed her more than I'll ever admit.
We kissed for awhile before the scene was called.. I honestly didn't want to part from her and when I did a huge pit of my stomach arose.
"Mia Healy and Erana James, you are officially wrapped!"
We're given a bouquet of flowers and hugs from all the producers as well as some cheering from everyone.
I look over to Erana and could sense she was feeling exactly what I was.
You know I've kissed many people.. Pretty much every single one of my friends and never have I ever felt so much passion with such a simple act.
It was amazing and terrible at the same time.
"Hey are you okay?" Erana asks and I clear my head and smile over to her trying my best to seem completely unfazed.
"Of course," I reply and wrap my arm around her.
We were walking back to the truck that was taking us back to the parking lot to leave set.
"Are you?" I ask and feel her hand wrap around my waist. "I will be," She tells me and I watch as we walk in sync.
"Hello ladies!" Sarah shouts as she separates us and swings her arm around both of our necks.
Everyone knows I'm a very affectionate person with my friends so being close to Erana like that doesn't send anyone any red flags.
"Oh Sarah.." I sigh and look over to her as she smiles widely at me.
We arrive at the truck and all pile in. I sit in the back with Sarah and Helena while Erana, Jenna and Reign sit in the seat in front.
"You know I already miss it," Sarah says and I nod agreeing with what she had said.
