Be My Sunflower

Annie

Colleens POV

I glanced down and made a face, this costume was super short and I was living for it. All of Miranda's costumes were great, I loved all the weird shirts and ugly skirts. So this Annie dress being so short is her version of sexy and I was kind of into it.

I headed out of my trailer and headed to set, we were filming in the backyard of a house today and we would be here most of the day. The silver lining was Erik would be there for most of it. I still had no idea what he was going through and hoped that he'd feel comfortable talking to me about it. I rounded the corner and heard the director giving Erik directions and nearly choked on my spit.

"Okay, so this is the first time you are seeing Miranda's thighs right, so we need you to look as though you've just gotten your first boner and you just pooped in that room and flooded the backyard. So a mix of emotions!"

I kept walking and watched them give him the rest of his directions, he looked so cute in his costume but as Erik. He nodded and swung his body in my direction and came towards me, his arms crossed across his chest. When he got to me he smiled and opened his arms for a hug which I happily took.

"Hey!" I hugged him tightly, I missed his hugs.

"Hey you." He held me tightly too for a few seconds and released me, "Love the dress and that wig is awful, it looks amazing."

I nodded, "Think it'll give you a boner?" I lifted the dress up to expose more of my thigh playfully and winked at him, he smiled and covered his crotch with his hands.

"Really!?" I laughed he shook his head and moved his hands to reveal no boner, I was slightly disappointed I didn't do it for him but immediately thought why do I care?

"Sorry, seeing your thighs does nothing for me." He said, touching the wig slightly. "This is awful, it's brilliant and I love how they left your hair out of it."

I laughed, "I love it too. You look so cute!"

"My costumes don't change much." He motioned towards his shirt and frowned, "But thank you."

I smiled, "I'm excited to see how this goes, I think you have a lot of acting to do."

He nodded, "That I do"

We got into our places and I looked over to Erik who was looking back at me and smiling. Things felt normal again and I was grateful.

A few hours later Erik and I stood toe to toe and we hit hour 2 of this, the angles with the different emotions we both needed to convey on our faces, he was much better at that than I was. However it was starting to get awkward, staring into his eyes for so long it felt intimate and I'll deny it if anyone ever asked but I felt things. I felt like closing the 3 inch gap and kissing his soft, warm lips again only without cameras and see what happened.

Only I didn't know why I felt that way, then moments later I felt only friendliness towards him. Perhaps my mind was playing tricks on me, but I couldn't really tell. Did I have feelings for Erik? Because in this exact moment I wanted to smash my lips onto his and kiss him like my life depended on him, I wanted to feel his hands all over my body and feel loved. But was it for Erik? Or a general feeling I wanted and he was the closest straight guy I had in my life?

They called cut and we stood back a bit and I laughed, "This is so awkward, hey tomorrow we should totally do this for fun."

He smiled, "I'm down." My stomach flipped and I wished we could spend more time together just us. I'd never felt this way before, I'd never had to stop and analyze the feelings I had for anyone.

We reset and he changed his shirt into a tuxedo t-shirt which made me laugh. Of course Patrick would dress up with a t-shirt, I loved everything about Patrick.

"Oh my god I love this!" I tugged on the lightweight fabric and he smiled.

"I'm fancy!" He yelped, shimming his torso playfully.

"Did you just body roll?" I asked, impressed with his lack of dad moves today.

He shook his head, pulling his beanie from his head, "No that was an accident."

I laughed loudly, "You involuntarily body rolled?"

He nodded and nudged me with his shoulder and we began filming the last of our scenes for production. We had two emotional scenes to film tomorrow and he would be wrapped and I was ignoring it right now. I didn't want to think about losing everyone, or be forced to face losing Erik.

Today had proven to be weird, A day filled with questions and inner monologues telling me things I wasn't ready to process. But for now I needed to focus on finishing this show.
