The Attraction Of Prom

Ellens POV.
Set in 2006, filming episode 2x27.
Timeline true to real life meaning Jillian and Chris very much exist in this.

——————————————————————————
Patrick had always flirted with me, ever since day one. From the moment I felt his hand in mine at his audition, he had a sparkle in his eyes that I quickly noticed was only around when he looked at me.
He was however married with a sweet daughter and I had my boyfriend Chris. So it was always kept at a friendship level.
The flirting was harmless and this past year Patty, which was my nickname for him, had quickly become one of my closest friends. Maybe even my best friend.
Of course the hard part of our flirting was just how unbelievably attractive I found him. His dreamy smile and sparkly eyes had me in a hold from that first day and after shooting a series of intimate scenes with him I also noticed his well toned body. However I could not think of him like that. I knew that it was wrong on all sorts of levels.
Although... What made it even more difficult was that lately his flirtatious jokes had started to sound less like jokes and more like honest compliments. But i'm sure I am just imagining it.

Today we were going to have our first intimate scene together in months as our characters were finally getting together again. At least for a night. I was kind of thrilled at the thought of kissing him again. Doing it on screen was a way for me to express the attraction I felt without actually doing anything wrong. However what made this a bit nerve-racking for me was that it was basicly a sex scene. Well as far as it could go on primetime television. When we got the script two days ago the only thing it said was...
Meredith and Derek kiss. They get lost in the moment and give into their chemistry.
Other than that we were on our own in making it look real and good. Patrick asked if there was any other marks and was told that he should take off my panties so the camera saw. Otherwise we could do what felt right.
That word haunted me a bit. How was I suppose to know what felt right to do on national television?

As I stood in my trailer, I took on my second pair of underwear and looked in the mirror. I looked good I had to admit. The hair and makeup departementet did an amazing job with this look. I suddenly heard the door open and turned around in a quick move.
"Shit Patty you scared me." I said as I saw him enter the trailer with a smile.
He didn't respond right away and I could feel his gaze moving up and down my body. I could almost swear he was admiring how I looked today.
"Wow Ellie... You look stunning." Patrick told me while moving a little closer to where I was. The look in his eyes along with those words made me feel a bit weak in the knees and I felt my cheeks turn a little pink.
"Thank you Patty. You don't look too shabby yourself." I winked at him trying to lighten the mood. It worked and he laughed a bit saying thank you.

We had already filmed the dancing scenes, the running in the hallway scene and the scene that was going to air after the 'sex'. After a short break and touch up to my makeup we headed back into the set of the exam room. This time it was a minimal amount of staff around us, giving us as much privacy as possible.
"Are you nervous?" Patty asked me as we reached the set. I looked into his eyes and I knew the answer was complicated. On one hand I was nervous about doing such an intimate scene in front of other people. But on the other I was excided to get to touch him again.
"A little." I smiled at him giving him the easy answer. "Don't be. I'll take care of you." He told me looking at my eyes but his gaze wandering down to my lips for a split second. When his eyes reached mine again I felt my stomach form a knot. His eyes had a dark sparkle in them I hadn't seen before. "I'm sure you will." I said with a giggle. I needed to keep the mood light to not get lost in what we were about to do.

"...Man I would give anything not to be looking at you!" I heard him say his last written line and knew I had to turn around to face him now. But for a minute I just stood there taking all the words in. I'd practiced this part before but hearing Patty scream out his lines as Derek made it all feel a bit to real. Everything said as our characters could easily translate into our own personal lifes and it felt as though Patrick had meant every word he said.
Snapping put of my own thoughts I finally turned around to look at him. I could see the hopelessness in his eyes and then there was the other thing I'd seen earlier today. The lust. It was more visible today than ever before.
