Bring on the rain
(by Deyse)
Monica, Andrew and Gloria stood at a certain distance from a couple of teenagers who were talking near a tree. When they shared a kiss, Monica stood up from the bench where she was sitting and gave a few steps closer to them, still invisible to the human eye. The slight smile on her face and the way she looked at them caused Andrew to follow her, “Monica?” he asked, bending his head so he could see her face. “Is there something on your mind?”
She turned her head to face him but when she did, they both noticed they were practically 2 inches away from each others’ mouths and the couple of actors couldn’t help but laughing.
“Oh, cut!” the director said, he and the other members of the crew with amused faces.
And John saw an opportunity he’d been waiting for during the last couple of hours: with one quick motion, he bent his head and brushed his lips against hers, softly and tenderly.
“Johnny!” she whispered, trying to admonish him, but equally amused.
“Sorry, but couldn’t resist!”
“Well, here in my script it says that Andrew does resist to Monica’s lips!” they heard the director’s voice.
“That’s because we never film Monica and Andrew’s free time! We never know what happens then!” the blond actor replied, and, laughing, returned to their previous positions.
“One, two, three... action!”
Once again, the three angels watched the couple of teenagers kissing each other and Monica stood up, giving a few steps towards them, with a slight smile on her face. Then Andrew followed her and stopped right behind her, “Monica?” he leaned his head over her face, “Is there something on your mind?”
But when the “Irish angel” turned to face him, they couldn’t help laughing all over again – their mouths were so close that she literally hit him with her lips.
“Cut!” the director spoke, but this time he couldn’t help laughing either. Highly amused, John gently placed his both hands over Roma’s cheeks and lay soft kisses on her lips again, “I’m sorry, but now I had to make sure she didn’t get hurt with the impact!” he said, some seconds later.
“Geesh, the man is really in love!” Larry spoke, with mock annoyance, shaking his head, and hearing the laugher of the crew.
Despite this little incident, they managed to film the complete scene and the following ones. It was a pleasant day for the cast and for the crew, who were happy to see John and Roma together now as more than good friends – as a beautiful couple deeply in love with each other. Tender glances, a stolen kiss, loving caresses and whispered loving words whenever they had a break had become frequent over the last month, when they finally made public their relationship.
Later on, during the break in the filming...
“Here we are... A double mocha latte for Ms Downey!” John spoke, approaching Roma from behind and handling her a cup of mocha he’d just brought from the cafeteria. As they were filming at a university campus and it was a very beautiful place, the couple took their free time to walk around it and appreciate their surroundings. He too held a cup for himself and, now with his arm wrapped around her slim shoulders, both started to follow a small path that crossed the field in between the old tall trees.
