Episode One hundred-twenty-one: Flirt

Once again, for part of the day, Edward was hanging from a harness. He was enjoying it too, laughing as he swung upside down awkwardly. But he was doing it on purpose. He could hook his foot with the rope to make himself stable.

“Ah, there’s the ham that I know and love,” Jasper mumbled under his breath as he watched. “He will force us to do a video on like wire-fu now just because he wants to play with it more.” I giggled, looking away from him. “You know it’s true.”

Shrugging, I smirked. “I’m down. It sounds like fun. We should do some circus training,” I quipped. “We could do the trapeze. You’d be the perfect strongman.”

He chuckled, crossing his arms over his firm chest. “You’re so good for my ego,” he muttered as his cheeks flushed a light pink, his nose rosy.

“I’m just telling you the truth,” I promised, blinking at him innocently after I bumped my hip to his.

Jasper leaned over and pressed his lips to my ear so only I could hear him. “The hardest part of this will be not being able to kiss you whenever you’re so sweet to me, which is all the time.”

I turned to whisper in his in return. “You can. We just can’t make out. In public.” I pulled back a little. “That’s what his trailer is for.”

“Quickie?” He mouthed, making me snicker. I winked at him before wiggling my eyebrows. Jasper quickly pressed a kiss to my cheek.

“Hey, gorgeous!” Edward shouted at me between takes as he purposefully whipped down again. He was hanging straight up and down like a bat. “Come here!”

Our boyfriend laughed, shaking his head. “Idiot.”

“You’re really cat-calling me at your work?” I teased as I sauntered over slowly. Nodding, he smirked at me. “Yes, sir? How may I help you?” I bent my face a bit at an angle to look at him. We were almost nose to nose.

He smiled at me innocently. “Give me a kiss.”

Lightly so as not to mess up his makeup, I pressed my lips to his. I saw his eyes darken as he shook his head, unsatisfied with what I had given him. He put his hand on the back of my neck and pulled me into a deep and passionate kiss. His fake fangs grazed my bottom lip as he pulled it with his teeth. He left me gasping in front of many people.

“Are you having fun?” I cooed.

“Yup.” Beaming, he maneuvered so that he could just barely peck my neck. “This is a great view of your tits.”

I snorted as I pulled away. “Tasha, he needs a touch-up! I’m sorry,” I called. She was already waiting in the wings with her kit, ready to fix it. “He’s being naughty.”

He dangled unmoving while they powdered his mouth and nose again. “I’d say I’m sorry, but I’m not.”

“I know,” she smirked, giving him a good dusting with a brush. When she finished, she passed me a makeup wipe for my lips.

“Your sex life must be fun,” Sarah uttered as she came to stand beside me. I giggled a little, glancing away from her. Jasper snickered but covered his nose with his hand quickly to smother the sound. She raised an eyebrow at him. “So, I’m right?”

He shrugged, his eyes wide as he looked down. “I’ll say that I know he’s not the prude that he used to be before he met Bella. She’s quite the corrupting influence, or so I’ve heard.”

“Or so you’ve heard,” I repeated before I stuck my tongue out at him. “I’m an angel.”

“You are, but so was Lucifer, my dove.”

I clutched my fake pearls as I opened my mouth wide, blinking at him. “I am good cath-” I stopped, shaking my head. “No, I can’t even finish that. Mm, forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. Today. Twice. And it was worth it.”

Sarah cackled. “Is that why you were late?”

“I could say no, but we both know that would be a lie,” I whispered to her. We both giggled.

She put her hand over her mouth as she leaned in. “No wonder it was hard to get out of bed.”

“It was harder to get out of the shower.”

She looked at me with a little longing, her cheeks flushed. For a brief second, her eyes flashed to my chest before flicking away. “I’m not even into straight couples, and that’s hot.”

“Mm-hmm,” Jasper agreed. They peered at each other, and he grinned impishly. “You should see their shower, too. It’s perfect for fucking.”

“Jasper!” I chided him with a laugh before nodding. “It absolutely is. It’s got a wide bench and five showerheads, one of which is detachable. This is the only place that I’ve really loved fucking in the shower. Though there was a seat at the hotel in New York when he visited that was ideal for blowjobs. But I only got to use it because I broke my foot.”

Laughing, he put his arm around my shoulder. “Didn’t get to use it as much as you wanted?”

“No. He wouldn’t let me. Apparently, having your leg wrapped in a rubbish bag isn’t sexy,” I mocked in his accent. Sarah giggled again. “That trip was a shit show. We didn’t get to do any of the things I wanted to. He got sick then I broke my foot kicking that racist fucker in the face-”

“You what?!” She bellowed so loud that the director turned around to look at her. She put her hands up in apology. “What happened?” She said more quietly.

My boyfriend explained it to her for me. “She was speaking Spanish when this junkie loser attacked her and Eddie at a restaurant. He told her to go back to her country. She destroyed him. It was legendary.”

“Ugh. Don’t say it like it’s cool.”

He peered at me, shaking his head. “You knocked him out, and he was three times your size. It was cracking.”

“That’s crazy! For just speaking Spanish? What nationality are you?” She questioned curiously. “I’m Mexican and French. My dad is from Paris. I speak English, French, and Spanish,” she explained quickly.

“Native American and German. I grew up in Texas, thinking I was Hispanic until a couple of months ago, actually. We made a video where we tested all of our DNA, and I got in contact with my biological family that I didn’t know. It’s a long story. I don’t know if that will ever see the light of day, though. It would be a good one, I hope it does,” I mused.

“You should tell him that,” Jasper suggested seriously. I nodded. He squeezed my shoulder again.

“Wow, you’ll have to tell me about it someday soon. We really need to go to lunch, only us girls. Spa day.”

“That sounds like a date,” Jasper teased. I shot him a look, which he shrugged off. “It does.”

“Only if she pays, and I let her get to first base,” I replied. “And I’m paying for my own.”

Snickering again, he laid his head against mine. “So, if she just gets to first base-” I slapped his stomach. “I’m sorry,” he laughed. “I’ll stop.”

They finally released Edward from his harness. Someone called to him and Sarah, saying that they needed to go sit for an interview together. He took my hand, walking with the assistant to the spot where it was happening in another building down a long hallway. It was in a room with a green screen and two chairs. I had never seen him do anything like it. There was a crew in there, ready to ask questions. It would be for the movie commentary.

Jasper and I stood in the corner with the assistant that had led us there. The pair sat in high director’s chairs with their names on them as microphones got pinned to their clothes.

It was interesting to see Eddie out in full force in such a small space. Sarah was very charming with him, laughing at his jokes. They flirted for the camera expertly as they talked about the movie and how much they loved working closely. Then they shared their desire to act together again soon.

“It’s hand’s down, one of the best experiences that I have had so far on any set.” He beamed. “Emma has become a real friend, and it’s so cool to have this chance to act with someone so talented and funny.”

“Oh, I feel the same way!” She hugged his arm, leaning her head on his shoulder. “I will cry when this is over, even though I’ll see you next week.”

“What was your favorite scene to film?” The interviewer, a young woman, asked as she looked down at her paper.

Sarah gazed at him, smirking a little to herself. “When I slapped you.”

“You know, I’m confident it’s a great scene, but since I don’t remember filming it…” He trailed off, frowning. “I have a vague memory of pain,” he said as he narrowed his eyes. Sarah just giggled. “My cheek is having phantom stinging right now. Seriously.”

“What about you, Eddie?”

“Mine was for sure the one we filmed with Bella.” He smiled at me. For just a moment, he was Edward again.

“Bella?” The interviewer questioned as she shuffled her notes.

“My girlfriend.” He pointed behind her at me. “We had an extra drop out last minute, and she filled in. And it was so much fun, even if I accidentally bit her. She still has a scratch on her neck, my poor darling.”

Everyone in the room stared at me, and I swiftly glanced down at my feet. “It didn’t hurt. You just surprised me. The slapping scene was hilarious, though. You make a fantastic team. You don’t remember, but it was great.”

After the interview, they got a break for lunch. When they came back, there were only two more scenes to film before they wrapped. There would be a party too, but we would get to run home to get ready for that. It would be at some fancy club in the VIP room with all the main crew and lead actors. I hadn’t met many of them because they filmed most of their parts separately, and what few they did together seemed to be days when I wasn’t around.

Edward got his last poke bowl. We sat in the park on the grass with the sunshine pouring over us. I shared a snow cone with Jasper. Sarah kept watching us.

“So, is your boyfriend in America or Sydney?” She asked as she tipped her head to the side. “Will he be joining us tonight?”

“Uh… He’s in America, but this isn’t something he’d enjoy.” Well, he wasn’t wrong. Eddie would have fun for about an hour, maybe, and would tire of trying to keep his mask on. Perhaps two, if he stayed at his peak tipsy. We would have to go out with Sarah when he wasn’t worried about that.

“Will I get to meet him when I come to film?”

“Girl, you are nosy,” Edward laughed. “He’s shy. Maybe you’ll see him one day. Leave him alone.”

Rolling my eyes, I shook my head. I had a strong feeling she was already onto us, and he wasn’t helping. “You know, since you seem to like older women and will be in New York, maybe I could set you up on a blind date with my best friend. She’s bisexual. Super smart. A doctor who runs a charity.” I took out my phone and showed her a picture. “Her name is Alice.” She leaned over to study it, her mouth forming a little ‘o.’ “But you’d have to be into BDSM.”

She snatched my cell up to get a better look. “Well, hello. Can I scroll?”

“You may or may not see pictures of my tits if you do-” She started scrolling quickly, making me laugh. Edward reached over and took it from her before she could see anything.

“Aw!”

“She’s not shy. I’m sure you’ll see them at some point,” Jasper teased. I shoved him hard enough to make him fall back into the grass. He did so with a chuckle. “Well, you were topless sunbathing in front of me within a week.” He put his arms behind his head as he relaxed.

“Your tits are bigger than mine,” I pouted. He stuck his tongue out at me. “It’s only muscle tissue. You have nipples too. It’s stupid that anyone cares.”

Sarah nodded. “Agreed.”

“You just want to see my girlfriend’s nipples,” Edward said mockingly as he put my phone back into my purse. He pulled out some mints I had in there and took two before offering me one.

I popped it into my mouth. “Stop talking about nipples, please,” I whined playfully, embarrassed that they had focused their teasing on me. I automatically covered my chest with my hands. “You’re making them nervous.”

Jasper snorted loudly. “Nervous nips.”

“You’re a child,” Edward laughed, swatting at him. But his cheeks were pink, and he was giggly. “I think it’s stupid that nudity is so taboo in western culture, full stop. Who cares? We all have genitals.”

“Have you ever done a nude scene before?” Sarah wondered with a smirk. “I haven’t yet. I want to, though. I need to shake the child star image.”

“I will in my next film. I’m doing a remake of Dangerous Liaisons. People will get to see my lovely freckled arse. I’d say that I feel sorry for my family, but it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve seen it.”

I giggled. “How many times will you be showing it?”

“That’s a good question. I’ll pretend to fuck like three different women, which I’m more worried about. I’ve only had one kissing scene before. Being with Bella made it easier.” Leaning over, Edward held my chin as he pressed his mouth softly to mine. I closed my eyes, savoring the contact. His lips were still minty-fresh and cold.

“Steal the fangs for me for later,” I murmured against them.

“I’ve already stolen like four pairs on accident. I keep forgetting them at home,” he remarked in embarrassment. “Apparently, they’re cheap. They just clip in.”

Wickedly, I decided to tease him. “I wonder how long you could keep up the American accent in bed.”

“Two seconds,” Jasper laughed.

He lifted his chin in the air. “You know what? The old me would have smacked you, but I’ve grown, and I’ll not wrestle around with you in a park, like a toddler.”

Our boyfriend slowly reached over to pinch his ribs, and they started to swat at each other. Some of their slaps got harder as palms connected to bellies and chests.

I grabbed both of their arms since they were doing it behind my back. “Sometimes I don’t feel like I’m the oldest in the room, but right now…” Jasper pinched my side with his other hand. I squealed and laughed, automatically swatting at him in return. Edward joined in, doing the other side. “No, no, no!” I cried. “Stop!” My hair fell around me in a curtain in front of my eyes as I practically folded in half.

Edward pulled me into his lap, wrapping both arms around me to keep me still so that he could kiss my lips again. I giggled against them. He rested his cheek on my temple, sighing heavily and happily. “This is perfect,” he whispered into my ear.
