You sink into the cloth folding chair designated for Shawn as you watch him pretend to take a phone call on the bedroom set before you. You have been at this video shoot for Particular Taste for at least three hours now and you're tired. It's chilly in the studio and you didn't bring a jacket with you. You shouldn't even be there still, you should be shooting on location at the nightclub down the street but someone hasn't shown up for the shoot yet. That someone is Tessa, the actress hired to play the girl Shawn is pining after.
"Cut!" The director yells and Shawn rolls off the bed. "That's great, you look awesome Shawn. You really sold that trip on to the bed."
Shawn laughs. "Probably because I actually tripped." He walks around behind the camera with Chris, the director, and stands there watching the play back. The crew has just been filming solo bits of Shawn while waiting for Tessa. "Looks pretty good. Could we maybe do like, a take where someone actually calls me?"
"Yeah? You don't think it looks like you're really on the phone?"
Shawn shakes his head. "No, I just don't feel like I'm selling it."
"Okay, cool. We'll reshoot and have you call someone." Chris sets the camera back up for filming and a couple set dressers go in and straighten the room.
Shawn walks over to you and you grin up at him. "Hey you."
"Hey yourself." You stand and he shakes his head, not wanting his seat. "What's up?"
"Can I call you for the shot?"
"You wanna call me?" You shiver and he shrugs his jacket off. It's a red silky one he's been wearing for the video all day and he puts it around your shoulders.
"I think it'd be best to call a girl. More realistic?"
You pull the jacket closed around you and smirk. "You gonna flirt with me on the phone Shawn?"
"You know it."
"Positions!"
"I'll call you." Shawn says with a wink as he runs back onto set and gets in position to start filming.
"Where's your jacket?" Chris asks, leaning out from behind the camera.
"I took it off. I think being home in my tank top is more relaxed, like I'm just calling this girl up, not making big plans yeah?"
"Alright." Chris leans back. "From the top!" The song starts playing and Shawn goes into acting mode.
You're so engrossed in the scene you almost forget to answer your phone. "Hello?"
"Hey, it's Shawn. Remember?"
"New phone who dis?"
"Oh you shit."
You snicker. "Is this the guy from the club?" You ask, referencing the plot that has yet to be filmed.
"Yes."
"Is this a booty call?"
"Ohmygod."
You chance a peek back at him. "You gotta buy me dinner first at least."
