Part 7
-A couple of days later, Final Cut Production office-
Justin's POV
"Come on in, Sunshine," Emmett welcomes me into the office with open arms.
"So… what's the verdict?" I ask, knowing Ted and Emmett had already shown the uncut kissing scene to the network bosses yesterday before the whole episode would air later on in the season.
"They LOVED it! In fact they asked us what took us so long to go with this storyline," Ted answered in enthusiastic tone of voice.
"We told them we just couldn’t find the right actors until now," Emmett completed his partner's sentence.
"Thanks guys, I really appreciate it," I tell them. "Thanks for trusting me with this. It’s great to be a part of it."
"Oh…dear boy, this is not the end of your storyline. We have much more in store for you. Here… read this." Emmett reassures me and hands me another script. "This is actually a bit more complicated, but being the consummate professional that you are we know you’ll be able to pull it off."
"Let me explain it to you before you start going over the script," Ted intervenes, trying not to intimidate me, but it makes me even more nervous. "We came up with a new character. He's your character's evil twin brother. His name is Luther, and YOU will play him as well, of course."
"Cool," I tell them, trying not to sound too ungrateful. I really appreciate the challenge, but it sounds like I'll be spending more time against the green screen with myself as my own screen partner, when all I really want is to have a few more scenes with Brian Kinney.
"I KNEW we could count on you," Ted replies happily.
"Sorry we can't tell you more than that, but we can promise you that Chance won't be able to stay away from Max for much longer," Emmett smirks. “The fans are going to love it!”
I nod back with a polite smile, at least relieved that I WOULD be shooting more scenes with my co-star.
"So go! Enjoy the rest of your day off from shooting; we’ll see you here tomorrow," Ted tells me, playfully pushing me outside their door, where I once again bump into Brian Kinney.
"What brings you here?" I ask him and even dare to smile.
"I thought you said you don't like using lines from the show," he points out with a grin, looking much more at ease than when we had first met here.
"You got me," I admit with a smile. "Shooting scenes today?” I can’t help asking. “I have the day off, but it’s about to get very busy,” I add, waving the script in explanation.
Brian nods. "I’ve already shot the only scene I have today, so I have the rest of the day off, too.” He pauses for a second before he asks me unexpectedly, “Wanna hang out, maybe go grab some lunch?"
"Sure," I answer, trying hard to contain my elation, but thinking it might be best if I seem more reserved at this point.
"My car is in the parking lot outside," he lets me know as we walk to a spot with a large 'reserved for Brian Kinney' sign on it.
"Cool car," I say in awe as I look at the shiny, red sports convertible.
"Yeah, SchmidtCutt treats me well," he answers, signaling for me to get into the passenger seat.
"You deserve it," I tell him sincerely; I almost gasp as he turns his head to look straight into my eyes with a half a smile that sets my heart aflutter. "So where are we going?" I ask, trying to mask the fact that I feel like a complete horny school boy right now.
"There's this little place I know at the farmers' market where we can grab some food and beer; and then we can drive over to Santa Monica Pier and just hang out there," he says. Did he actually just offer me what sounds like a romantic date?
“Sounds good," I hear myself answering him. "But I have pages of new script to learn by tomorrow. Ted and Emmett were delighted to inform me that they're adding a new character to the mix,” I reveal dryly. “It's Max's evil twin brother, and I'll be playing him as well."
Brian laughs. "See? That's what I love about SchmidtCutt. They never take themselves too seriously. I mean…the whole evil twin brother thing is genius, and YOU will be perfect for it," Brian tells me, his face lit up.
My face warms over his confidence in me. "Yeah, I’m sure it’ll work out…but I need to remember those lines,” I remind him, knowing it’s going to be a lot of extra work on my part.
"Don't worry, I can help you," he says as I nod gratefully back at him, touched by his thoughtfulness.

-Later that afternoon, Santa Monica Pier-
Justin's POV
"I never knew this place has so many 'hideaways," I state as I follow Brian to a secluded stretch of sand, far away from the crowd congregated near the pier’s various attractions. It was a fair walk, but it’s a beautiful, quiet part of the beach, the silence interrupted only by the crashing of the waves offshore, and the occasional, piercing cry of a seagull.
We find a place to sit on the blanket Brian had brought, and then Brian suggests that I should read both parts out loud from the script to help me memorize everything.
Sounds fine with me.
Brian puts a couple bottles of beer and a bag of chips in front of us. I clear my voice and start to read:
-Max's family home. Max is lying on his bed, listening to his IPod, contemplating. Luther enters.-
Max: "Luther, what are you doing here? I didn't know you were here!"
Luther: "I arrived earlier this morning, but I didn't see you."
Max: "I… we had company here earlier. Chance Howard dropped by."
Luther: "That jerk? What did he want?"
Max: "Nothing…"
Luther: "Come on, spill, I know you, Max; you’re hiding something."
Max: "There’s nothing to tell. It was just a social call between him and our sister. But while we're at it, why are you here two weeks before spring break?"
Luther: "I was kicked out of law school. But I'll kill you if you let anyone know about it. Especially dad."
Max: "I might agree to your request, Luther, but then you have to stop asking me about Chance."
Luther: "I don't have to ask, you're practically giving it away…"
Max: "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Luther: "Come on Max, you know damn well what I'm talking about! You’ve always had a secret crush on that guy, but now you're not even bothering to hide it."
Max: "I never had a crush on him. Well, maybe I did, but it doesn't matter… he's not interested anyway. He wants to buy the café. He wants to buy the entire building. That's why he showed up here earlier."
Luther: "There's no way in hell Dad will allow that! Did you explain THAT to Mr. Howard?"
Max: "Of course I did!"
Luther: "And how did he respond to that?"
Max: "Well…He, umm..."
Luther: "He what?"
Max: "He kissed me. WE kissed. In the middle of the living room. Happy now?"
Luther: "I'm never happy. I'm evil, don't you know that? But there's one thing I do know, and it's that if YOU want to be happy YOU shouldn't run away from your feelings, Max."
Max: "Look who's talking about running away! Don't you lecture ME about that, Luther Millian!"
Luther: “Don’t tell me what to do!"
Max: "It's MY life! Don't tell me how to live it!"
Luther: "I'm just trying to help you."
Max: "Well, I don't trust you, and I don't need your help. Stay away from me!"
-Max pushes Luther out the door, grabs a large brown, leather bag, puts a few clothes inside, and grabs his jacket. He runs downstairs and storms out of his family home. He gets into his car and drives away.-
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
-A few minutes later-
I put the script on my lap and take a deep breath. My mouth is dry. I could use a drink. I grab one of the beer bottles Brian put on the sand earlier, but I notice it's empty. Brian is holding the other half-full bottle in his hand. He takes one sip and licks his lips before he hands me the bottle. I take one sip as well and reach out to return him the bottle. He grabs my hand and pulls me close, pressing our foreheads together before snaking his tongue into my mouth.
I gasp at the somewhat unexpected intimate contact, but I don’t push him away. Instead I open my mouth even wider to allow Brian better access. My hands rise upward as I wrap them around Brian's neck, my fingers clutching at strands of his beautiful, auburn-colored hair.
"Let's get in the car, now!" I pant as we finally break apart several seconds later.
"We CAN'T do it in the car," he replies breathlessly. "I'll take you home."
"Home?" I almost chuckle, but my lips are still greedily sucking his. I find that I can’t get enough of his taste and his touch.
"My place," he explains. We get up and try to shake the sand off our clothes. Good thing he parked just around the corner. As we get back in the car I have to remind myself I'm NOT Max Millian or his evil twin brother Luther. I'm Justin Taylor. And the gorgeous man beside me is NOT chance Howard. He’s Brian Kinney. The man who couldn't take his eyes off me while I was reading the script just now (he thought I didn't notice that…), the man who shared his beer with me, the man who kissed me on the beach at sunset. The man who's now taking me to back his place. I think I’m about to visit heaven…and I can’t wait.
TBC…
