L O C A T I O N : dakota's job
_________________

"well. hello dakota. did you miss me?"

i turned around at the voice and sighed, crossing my arms. "hello, yelena." i greeted as i tried to be professional. "i heard you were looking for a assistant director, hitch called me pretty desperate." she told me, smirking at me with that smirk of her. she still had her under cut and wore a nice clean, crisp suit with no tie but some buttons were undone.

"we were in a desperate situation, early in the morning."

"is that right? i'm glad hitch found me when she did."

"what made you pick me, though?"

"she said dakota and i remembered your name. of course, i had to help you in a time of need. i did once, why not again." yelena walked up to me, her strong musky perfume hitting my nose. it filled all my senses and i took a deep breath in to ground myself.

my cheeks grew hot at the memory but i stood strong in my position. "thank you, i appreciate it." i smiled but stepped back, trying to remain professional. "i have work to do in studio b, hitch should get you caught up on anything if you need help." i explained to her while going to grab my coffee and my stuff for the recordings.

yelena grabbed my wrist to stop me and pull me towards her quickly.

"h-hey-."

her lips planting a sweet peck to mine which caught me off guard. "yelena, i-."

"you're not ready for a relationship yet. i know, kota and i'm not either." i furrowed my eyebrows at her, not understanding what she was saying to me. "i'm willing to come to an agreement with you." she let me go and stepped back.

i tilted my head in confusion, "agreement? i don't understand."

"i assume that you've been stress and i can help you with that, we'll be working with each other after all."

"like a friends with benefits type of thing?"

"ah! you're a smart girl, dakota."

i narrowed my eyes at yelena, not knowing if that's how i wanted to release stress but then again, it wouldn't hurt me to say no. i set my stuff down to grab a pen and a stickynote. i quickly wrote my number down, not my work one but my personal one. i capped the pen and handed her the note.

"here's my number, i guess we try this thing out." yelena smirked and nodded, "i look foward to working with you."

"i could only tell you so much because i only knew so much! daniela, are you away from the house?"

i sat there in the recording both with quinn as she did kenna's part of the phone call then we'd move on to leilani's part with daniela's part in the car.

it was weird coming back to this part of my life due to the fact that i hadn't seen reiner since that date. i didn't know what he doing or if he was still drugging girls which i would hope not. he did try to contact me after the fact but i blocked him and deleted the number.

the girls were always trying to figure out who this randy guy was in the script but i didn't want to tell them. most of the movie, i let them figure it out and see the ending result for went it all over so i didn't spoil it.

i softly tapped my foot against the floor so that the microphone wouldn't catch the sound and waited for quinn to finish her recording. quinn took off her headphones and looked for my okay to get out. i nodded, giving her a thumbs up to leave the recording booth.
