„Hello?" A long dreadful snorting greeted you.
„It's me. Still sick?"
„Sick? Oh. Yes. I feel horrible indeed. I am really sorry that I couldn't make it. If you wanna meet, you can come over. It's nothing infectious."

It wasn't too late in the evening as you wandered down the streets to Jane's apartment. She moved into a small flat close to the central park of the town. You couldn't figure the house number out because it was foggy. The sky hasn't shared much sunlight after you left work and therefore you had to come very close to each building in particular.
You could almost taste the vibration of the air. The clouds were thick and dark grey, you will be lost if you can't find it fast enough.
Finally you found her number on a slim door. After ringing the bells, going upstairs and conventional small talk, you were placed at a fine sitting area. Above your heads you could hear the storm roaring against the rooftop.
Jane's voice was slightly pitched, her nose and eyes were slightly red.
"I shouldn't have come, I am sorry." You smelled the sweet perfume of the flowers on the table.
"It's not to bad. I promise. Now back to work, how did you planned the scene? I've seen my costume and the last season of the show. But this time I don't get in the mood of the scene, why is it so necessary?"
You talked about character development, your character's relationship and played the scene a few times.

"And now Rhin comes around the corner just to-", you had to pause.
Jane had started to cry painfully like someone has stabbed her heart. Oh no.

You tried to comfort her, petting her hair and hugging her. "What has happened," you lowered your voice "Did he hurt you?"
"I am a terrible person. I really tried to stay focused but... We broke up. He said that he hasn't enough time to focus on his work and his role... He could have told me! We could have fix it. I knew he had a passion for acting... We could have fix it. I think that's why he has chosen an actress, to be closer to his role without any disadvantages. Maybe I am the problem." The rhythm of her breathing was unsteady and intense. You could feel how your cortisol level probably has been rising since she told you all.
She looked so small, vulnerable and how could he be so rude and heartless.
"Just few days ago we spoke about engaging and future and now. I really tried to give him all the time he needed but was it selfish that I wanted to be also part of his life?" A flood of tears run down her rosy cheeks.
"He's perfect. Where will I ever find a man slightly comparable?"
You looked her directly into her eyes and answered stern: "No Jane. If a man hurts you that way, he can't be good for you. You are enough. You are worth it. You shouldn't let people treat you like trash and in conclusion treat them better. This is your life and you shouldn't cry over a stupid man."
You offered to rewrite the scene so she could calm down and care about herself more. There was no place for any kind of extra work here.
Your neck was tense as you left Jane late. The moon was high and glowing bright in the dark. You couldn't believe that Richard was such an awful jerk but sometimes it's better to trust your instincts.

Odin had promised to pick you up for work but unfortunately you had overslept so you weren't ready at the arranged time.
Someone was knocking the door: " 'cuse me? (Y/n), are you ready?"
You opened quickly but refused to say properly good morning.
"I am so sorry. I haven't managed my time correctly", as you hurried from place to place "But make yourself comfortable. I'll be there in about two minutes."
You vanished into your closet and searched through the clothes. Meanwhile you heard Odin making some tea.
"Okay - we can leave now. I think if we speed up we still can have breakfast at a bakery downtown." Your messy bun fell out of place and you heard a terrible noise coming from your bedroom.
Odin combed his hair with his fingers and responded softly: "If you have toast and fruits, we better start having breakfast right now at your kitchen table." He prepared the table and you tidied up the mess you've made.
"God, jesus christ, I haven't had buttered toast in ages.", he joked around and you blushed softly. Then he stood up, opened the window and watched the morning energizing nature, animal and human beings. "It's beautiful, isn't it? I wish I could start every morning like this." You joined him glancing over the stunning green of southern England.

"How has your preparation been?", Odin asked you as the second traffic light in the whole city lit up red.
"It was... let's call it revealing."
"I can't imagine how she can deal with Richard all the time. He seems to be always correct and never just let slip any kind of you know quirks or bad side."
"For this matter, please... they broke up. I don't want to gossip about it but it's a really tough time for her right now and I don't want to slipp any details furthermore."
"Oh, okay. Ironically, I always thought you two had a thing for each other. But that's why you are actors, right."
"Hell yeah. Besides, I couldn't even imagine to date him after his behavior, bruh what Jane told me, even if he was the last man on earth."

"What a bloody bastard." Thomas sipped his smoothie through a straw, "I mean Jane can be a bit... challenging but after all he led her to this show. He should've known better."
Odin's team helped you to get dressed in heavy armor. Your motion was restricted and the uncomfortable steel continually forced you to stood straight up.
"I am glad I am not in your position - quite literally - Anyway, I hope you've fun at your sex scene, at least he isn't that kind of dirty."

This scene would air after the scene you will shoot tomorrow - therefore it was slightly strange to leave this part of character development behind and just speed up right into loving and being passionate.
Anyway, just few seconds were left before you would be Lys. Focus and remember, that's not Richard, it's Rhin, the love of your life and the most beautiful person you ever met.
And there he was, standing in the shadows  deciding how to start the conversation.

"You know that I were always there for you. But as you almost slit my throat open, you found me. After all what happened."
"Of course - I never stopped looking. When you like someone like I like you, you just don't stop. Never. Even when people tried to convince me that I should leave you I-I... just couldn't." Rhin came closer and took your hand into his.
"I think I've been holding myself back from falling inlove again with you. God damn it Lys! It has always been you. I never apologized for my feelings for you but maybe I should. I never wanted to hurt anyone but I am just not good enough."
"Stop it. You are enough." And for a moment that felt like forever you saw deep into Richard's blue eyes. He acted so well you weren't able to tell the thin line between acting and character but you knew better.
Rhin touched your rosy cheek and your long dark lashes framed your innocent eyes telling him speechless what you felt for him. It must have looked ridiculous, you were still in the soldier's uniform, loose fitting and ridiculous non-feminine.
"Help me, Rhin."
He walked behind you but never let a second pass without looking at you. He took the chest plate carefully off your torso, expose you in your thin ivory nightdress.
"Are you sure, Lys. I can wait."
You whispered under your breath: „I don't do this for you. I do this for myself."
The last piece of steel was put aside and you were a bit shivering. Rhin saw your goosebumps and hugged you from behind. His minty breath, warming your neck, made you heart beat faster. His long locks tickled your back pleasingly. Now you took his big warm hands to cup your breasts. He never touched you like this before. Luckily Richard wasn't a pervert and touched you more than his character would usually do. Something inside you said that this would be the experience of bedding Thorin Oakenshield even though Rhin had not the exact same character or appearance but, however it was quite similar.
You turned around to Rhin as he clasped you in his strong, toned arms. He carried you to your bed and placed you softly in the middle. He undressed his own body except for his underwear.
„Would you like to take off my dress as well?", you questioned shyly.
His smile was warm and kind and there were nothing like passion just pure love and the need to be as close as possible.
You could feel the heat coming from his naked chest as he leaned forward to -
"And Cut!", Benjamin applauds and the staff brought you bathrobes. You felt the heat long after the scene was finished and you were confused as hell.
