Naomi had confirmed that she was Jewish when I chattedwith her at Nathalie’s birthday, and when I relayed that information to Aaron, he remained silent for a few seconds before replying in a somewhat dry tone, “I know.” I was sure he knew a lot of things about her by now.
I pulled out my phone from my bag and texted William while Aaron drove me to school.
Me:Forgot to ask *nervous emoji*
Me:Are there any kissing scenes in this film you’re working on in Vancouver? You said it was a dark psychological thriller, so initially, I supposed there wouldn’t be, but I don’t want
to assume.
William replied within seconds.
W.S.:Yes.
I could see the three dots as he typed, and my anxiety peaked as I waited for him to expand on the subject.
W.S.:There’s no romance. But there’s a mild sex scene. It’s very short. And there is no more kissing beyond it.
Me:I’m jealous :(
W.S.:I’d be too. It’s a threesome scene. My specialty.
Me:William!
W.S.:Yeah, and they’re both redheads.
Me:Don’t make me turn the car around so I can slap you.
W.S.:Stop trying to turn me on.
Me:You kinky Viking.
W.S.:Don’t play coy. I know your taste in bed.
Me:That you do. But focus! Are you really doing this sex scene with two actresses? *angry emoji*
W.S.:No. Of course not. They’re not actresses. They’re Victoria’s Secret models. Both are sweet, single girls. I’ve been FaceTiming with them whenever you’re at school.
You know, getting to know each other more so we can feel comfortable when shooting that scene.
Me:I hate you.
W.S.:Why? This is how I make a living. I thought you’d
be supportive.
Me:I’ll use my vibrator tonight without your permission.
W.S.:You will not do such a thing. *Jedi hand-wave*
Me:Will do.
W.S.:You know I can walk into your room right now and confiscate it, right?
Me:Damn it. As fun as it is for you to torture me, I’m only a few blocks away from school and won’t be able to use my phone, so I need you to get real about this sex scene.
W.S.:There is a sex scene, and I get that it’s weird, but I swear these things are anything but sexy or intimate. There’s a bunch of people running around on the set. All our privates are covered, and the actress I’m doing this scene with is actually a friend. She’s married. Her husband will most likely be present during filming. I’ll introduce them to you one day, but they currently live in LA.
Me:I’m so fucking relieved right now. I’m not even kidding.
