Swoon

I exhale an ocean of relief. “I’m sorry I lost my temper.” “You should be.” He claps a palm on my shoulder and leans forward to whisper. “But don’t be too sorry.” He snickers. “I’ll deny it if you repeat this, but you did what half of Hollywood has been wanting to do to Seth for years.” He smirks. “Including me.” Fish hoots with glee, but I’m too relieved to join him. “It’s gonna be fine, Colin. But don’t you dare fuck up like this on our next movie together. This is a lucky, one-time free pass.” “I’m gonna do another movie with you?” I ask. Gary smiles. “Of course. I always like working with my favorite actors, again and again. Surely, you know this about me.” I feel myself blushing. “Yeah, I’ve noticed that. I’d love to work with you again, Gary. Any time.” “Good. I’ve already got something in mind for you. It’s shooting next year.” My heart feels like it’s bursting. “Whenever you call me, I’ll come running. Working with you has been a dream come true.”

Gary pleased with the outcome and offers future movie work...result!
