You Only Live Once

Chapter Thirty Three

AN: Trigger warning/very rough sex

The following day, Jamie found herself sitting in the hair and make-up trailer, reading over the short bit of script the director had given her while Sebastian filmed one of his scenes for the day. It was only a few lines that she would be reciting in a bar scene later in the afternoon, but she wanted to make sure she could say it all flawlessly before then.

Tracey was just finishing up her hair, adding a bit of curl to the ends. "How many times have you read that now?" she asked, smiling at Jamie through the mirror.

"I don't know," Jamie answered honestly with a breathy laugh. "At least a dozen or more by now I'm sure."

"You've got this girl. Sebastian speaks highly of you. Plus I got to see a little of your work yesterday," she replied, grabbing for the hairspray.

Jamie smiled, "I'm just really nervous. This is my first time on a movie set anyway, and now I'm being trusted with a few lines of actual dialogue."

Tracey gently squeezed her shoulder. "I have faith in you, my dear. You're going to knock them out of the park." She had Jamie shield her eyes so she could spray the hairspray, setting her curls into place. "You'll be a bartender or waitress, right? Are you working with anyone?"

"Waitress I think," she said with a nod. "From the looks of it, I think I work with Adam a little bit and some of the extras that will be customers. I'm not looking forward to working so closely with Adam, but I'm going to try to make the best of it."

"Is he giving you a hard time?" Tracey asked. "If he is, I can surely put that man in his place. He's given enough women trouble around here."

Jamie sighed softly. "He is, but I can handle it... I think. Seb gets more worked up about it than I do, really. Adam just can't seem to accept the fact that I have turned him down."

Tracey grinned softly. "You know, that man is absolutely head over heels for you. That's why he's so protective." She sat the hairspray down, forgetting she still held it before she stepped behind Jamie to do finishing touches with her comb.

"I know," she agreed, brandishing a grin of her own. "He's different from anyone else I've ever been with," Jamie admitted. "And I don't mean just because he's famous," she quickly added. "I just don't want him to get too jealous that it affects his work, or worse, his trust in me."

"I've known Sebastian for a while now," Tracey said. "If he gets mad to where he actually shows it, there's a good reason. He doesn't just blow up. He likes to keep things as civil as possible until civil isn't working anymore."

Jamie nodded slightly. "I suppose you're right," she said thoughtfully.

"Just don't let him get into too much trouble if things try to get out of hand," Tracey said softly. "The film crew is understanding and they know about Adam's ways. The man is going to get himself into a lot of trouble if he keeps it up."

"I'll make sure to pull Sebastian away before it gets too out of hand," Jamie assured her. "I think I have a few tricks up my sleeve to calm him down, as long as I can pull him away from the situation," she giggled.

Tracey laughed. "Oh, all women do honey, all women do."

Jamie stood on set, overlooking her lines one last time before putting them off to the side. Then she grabbed her food tray and put the items she would be handing out on top of it, preparing for the director to call action.

"Places!" the director called, making everyone get where they needed to be, including Adam. "Action!"

Jamie walked up to the bar, closing the server book they had given her and placing it in the pocket of her apron. "Clyde, I need two beers and a tequila sunrise," she said to Adam before walking to the computer screen they had set up for her to input the order, as if it were an actual bar.
