Chapter Seven
Ezra
“Hey, fucker, you ready to hit these weights?”
Jeff walked into my house as I sat on the couch, flipping through channels on the television. “Shit, bro. I’m tired. I don’t feel like going today.”
“Bullshit. You better get your candy-ass up. I’m not fuckin’ around. It is leg day and you know we can’t skip leg day.”
“Fuuuck.”
He sat down next to me and helped himself to the bag of beef jerky I had resting on the table. “Yeah, bro. Fuck is right. No pain, no gain.” He shoved a pile of it into his mouth as I sulked in my seat. His mumbled words fell from his mouth like crumbs. “Oh yeah, how’d that other audition go yesterday?”
“Oh, the audition,” I said, flipping the television off. “Man, it went good, but that’s not it. The chick that they got to co-star with me? She is fine! I’m talkin’ fine as hell. Big tits, nice legs. Her ass is kinda small, but it’s still enough to keep my attention.”
He munched on the beef jerky. “You’re talking like you’re about to start dating her or something.”
“No, not dating. But, I’m sayin’, if I’m going to spend a lot of time with someone, I’d rather her be easy on the eyes. Nobody is trying to look at a bag of fucking bricks all day long.”
“Yeah, yeah, I guess you’re right. The fuck is the movie about again?”
“It’s based off a novel called Satin Sheets.”
“Fuck. I’ve heard of that,” he said as he grabbed another handful of jerky. “This chick I used to fuck around with was all into that shit. She tried to get me to do some of what she read. She wanted me to tie her up and gag her and pour hot wax on her and shit. I was like, ‘Fuck no! You’re not about to have me do that and then call the cops on me talkin’ about I abused you. Fuck that.’”
I laughed out loud as he went on. “I’m serious. Fuck it. I’ll let somebody else play the fool. Shit. But if that is what it’s based on, then you and that chick will be having some sex scenes for sure. Knowing that, it probably is best that she is somewhat attractive.”
“Yeah, that’s what I was saying.” I looked at the empty bag of jerky on the table. “Yeah, because I didn’t want any of that. I mean, I brought it out here just so you could eat it all. That’s exactly why I did that.”
“Thanks, buddy,” he said as he stuck his finger in his mouth to jar bits of jerky that were caught between his teeth. “But, what the fuck are you doing reading a fucking book?”
“Sorry, I’m not a fuckin’ meathead like you, you son of a bitch.” I stood up and headed to my room to change for the gym, “Besides, I needed to see what kind of shit I was getting into when they gave me the part, so I started reading it. I ended up liking it, too.”
“Yeah, yeah,” he said as he stood up. “Just get your ass dressed so we can go. Fuck. I’m pumped now! That jerky hit the spot.” I came back into the front room dressed and ready to go. As we walked out of the house, Jeff spoke up, “So, does Tanya know about your part?”
I locked the door behind us, “Nah; she doesn’t. I didn’t want to brag to her about it, you know? I felt like it would be more of a gut punch if she found out on her own. Hell, I know that once she finds out, her whole attitude towards me is gonna change. From bitch to baby in a half of second. Like clockwork.”
“To baby, huh?” We walked down my pathway to his two-door Mustang. “That sounds like you might be trying to get her back.”
I grabbed the door handle and glared at him. “Get her back? Hell no. I’d rather fucking wear barbed wire underwear than get back with her. That shit is dead. I’m looking to the future now. I just want my boys around more, that’s it. That’s all I want from her.”
“I hear ya’.”
We climbed inside his vehicle, and he sped off down the street. On our way, Marc called. He told me that they would have the script ready for me by Friday and I could come to his office and pick it up. “Sounds good, Marc.”
“Oh, one thing. You know that there are sex scenes involved in this movie, right? I mean, I figured you did, but I just wanted to make sure you knew about it so it wouldn’t catch you off guard.”
“Yeah,” I said with a smile, thinking about Hannah. “Yeah, I’m good with that. I figured it would be.”
“All right, good. Well, make sure you come by Friday, and we will read it together. Welcome to Hollywood, Ezra. This will open the door for many more opportunities.”
“See you Friday, Marc.”
“Indeed.”
I hung up the phone as my mind replayed my last meeting with Hannah. I remembered her voluminous breasts looming right before my eyes as she stood in my arms with her soft body pressed against mine. I was moments away from kissing her and if Leonard didn’t stop us, I know I would have. My imagination floated images of us rolling around in bed on top of each other as we recorded scenes for the movie. My mind replayed it like it was a porno. I hadn’t done sexual scenes before, so I didn’t know what to expect, but I was looking forward to the opportunity. Before I knew it, I had an erection.
