Filming Flashbacks

Chapter 2: One Door Closes

A/N: Woot! Thanks for embracing this idea and for your supportive comments! And thanks to Amanda, Julia, Kristal, and HeyJenn who suggested ideas for future chapters. All coming, sisters!

As a reminder to newcomers, I normally write one-shots, and I view this as a collection of one-shots from filming. I'll try my best to make them sequential, but no promises. I don't kid myself that this is a novel :-)

I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing!

Dakota POV

I am crazy excited that Jordan is coming to visit me on set. We've been dating a while now, my family adores him, and he is such a good fit. He's not entirely comfortable with me in this role, so the fact he is coming to visit is a good sign, I think. I believe he is trying to support me in my work, even if I am playing a role he is not particularly fond of.

Filming is going GREAT! Jamie and I could not get along any better if we tried. We crack each other up constantly, which helps us get more and more relaxed with each other in every scenario we've faced thus far.

This morning we had 'dance class' with a beautiful gay man named Luca who really took it upon himself to help Jamie. "Sunshine, you need to use your feet heel to toe. Even when you are walking – heel to toe." He huffed and told Jamie to take his shoes off. "Let's not bruise her while we're learning, K? Shut your eyes and listen to the music." Sinatra's Witchcraft was playing in the background as Luca swayed to the beat. He opened his eyes to watch Jamie. He beamed as he said, "See? You've got it. Let's help you get it with a partner without breaking her perfectly pedicured toes."

Two hours later, we were dancing and swaying together as if we'd danced together for years. Luca was thrilled. He clapped his hands and then covered his face, all but his tearing eyes, "You are my Fred and Ginger. Oh. I'm so happy."

I was happy too. It was surprisingly easy to dance with him and let him hold me, sway me, dip me. It felt natural and right when he nuzzled my neck. And honestly, I may have to increase my laundry schedule because every time I am this close to him, I can't help soaking my panties. He smells mouth wateringly good, and he touches me so gently and reverently, but with absolute control.

Jamie and I looked at each other and laughed about Luca's statement and prepared for our next scene. We are going to be outside, after the coffee date when a bike almost runs me over. I know Jordan will be there and I'm anxious for him to meet Jamie and see me at work.

As we move outside, I'm surprised by how many people have shown up for filming. Luckily, Olivia has cornered Jordan and set him up so he feels special and I immediately rush to him with open arms. He greets me with a hug and a kiss, a very chaste kiss, and pushes me back a bit as he says, "I know you're working. Go do your thing."

Ooooookkkkkaaaayyyyyy. Not okay. That kinda sucked. I turn to see Jamie watching me closely and he reaches a hand for me instinctually. "You okay?" He pulls me in, but not too close.

"Yes, I'm fine. Thanks. Good to go."

"Can I meet your guy?"

I peer up at him. "Okay, sure." I take a deep breath and lead him over to Jordan.

"Jordan, this is Jamie, Jamie – Jordan." I stand back and watch with baited breath.

Jamie, ever the gentleman, reaches out a hand, "I'm pleased to meet you, Jordan. Dakota has been very excited to see you."

Jordan hesitates, but finally reaches back, "Thanks. Nice to meet the guy that gets to have sex with my girl on film."

Jamie drops his hand immediately and looks to me before saying with a smile, "You know that we don't. And if we did, I'm sure my wife would have something to say about that. I'm gonna run get a touchup and let you enjoy your girl. It was nice to meet you, Jordan."
