                         "Waiting Outside The Lines 2"
===============================================================================
Don't think that it never crosses my mind. The pointlessness of getting up in
the morning, taking a long, hot, shower, and getting myself all squeaky
clean...just to come to "The Walking Dead" set and have make-up artists do
their best to get me all visibly dirty again. Hehehe! But that's the job, I
suppose. At least I get to feel neat and tidy on the drive up there.
I sit in a chair in my grimey wardrobe clothes, have my hair fashionably tossed
about, and let them use pads and brushes to smear dirt all over me again. You
know, if I was a crafty little 5 year old again, I might actually get a kick
out of something like that.
Not as much today, though. Because...well...maybe I'm getting ahead of myself
here..but I thought Greyson might want to come visit me again soon. So I kind
of want to look my best, you know? Not...well, not like this. I've never heard
anybody say, "Wow! He looks dirty and smelly and like he's been rolling around
in the mud for the last 48 hours! That's soooo sexy!" But, whatever. I'm
acting. I'm sure he'll get it.
Don't get me wrong, there's a tiny little skeptic in the back of my mind that's
constantly trying to reason with me about what happened a few days ago.
Thinking that maybe the whole thing was a fluke. Greyson's so sweet and so
polite, that he probably wouldn't have an angry word to say to anybody, even to
some strange boy who decided to lunge forward and kiss him on the lips one
afternoon without asking. It might have just been a one time thing. It might
have just been my infatuated heart making up signals that weren't there. The
most severe form of wishful thinking. I'm SURE that I'm not the first gay
teenager to fall for that pretty smile.
What makes me so special? It had been days and no word from him. I couldn't
help but to start the worrying process over whether or not anything was going
to come from that one little incident by the lake. I mean, I gave him a kiss
and a sandwich. That's hardly a dowry worthy of boy to boy marriage.
And yet...even when in doubt, I think about his smile, and the glimmer in his
eyes, and the gentle shade of pink in his blush...and this totally illogical
rush of emotion floods into my heart, quickly spreading to every part of me. I
find it hard to concentrate on anything other than trying not to giggle out
loud when that happens. But I try my hardest so the rest of the folks on set
won't think that I've completely lost my marbles. It was a lot harder than you
would think. Something about that memory, something about wondering if he's
thinking about me too...it just tickled me under the ribs and refused to go
away. The sensation would catch me by surprise sometimes, and it made me feel
lighter than air.
I just wish he'd call. I really really wish he would call.
Asa was in the make-up trailer with me this morning. Sitting not more than a
few feet away from me in a make-up chair of his own. He was playing a handheld
video game at the time, and the game screen seemed to cause his stunning blue
eyes to glow even brighter than normal.
I was staring at him. I don't think I meant to. He's just...sort of 'pretty' to
look at, so your gaze gets stuck on him sometimes and won't pull away. But as I
watched them fix his hair and all...my mind began to wander. It was like
picking at a scab, to be honest. It sucks and it stings a little, but it
quickly becomes so addictive. I just couldn't stop thinking about Asa and
Chandler being alone together. Keeping their dirty little secret from the rest
of the world, and having the time of their lives doing it. Every single time
they magically vanished from the site, I felt this little hole in my heart
being stretched out just a little bit wider. I wanted to see. I really did.
Hell, whenever they came back, I wanted to French kiss Asa just so I could know
what Chandler tasted like. It was always the same when they returned to set.
Slightly out of breath, big smiles on their faces, and a shine that came from
the thinnest sheen of sweat. Relaxed. Mellowed out. Happy. I think they were
doing a bit more with each other now than what I first saw through that open
window. They just seemed more 'connected' now. Sometimes, just a silly glance
exchanged between them across the table during one of our lunch breaks could
speak volumes. I eventually had to start eating at another table just to keep
myself from getting obsessed with the ache of it all.
I wonder what it's like when they're alone. I mean, not just sneaking off set
to a trailer for a few minutes...but really 'alone'. Do they take their time?
Do they kiss for hours on end? Does Chandler slowly glide his hands over Asa's
flesh and caress him with tenderness and love? Does Asa turn Chandler over onto
his stomach and gently kiss the back of his neck and shoulders just moments
before sliding his hardness into him, feeling the snug little hole gripping him
from all sides? Does Chandler grimace from the penetration? Or does he love it
more than anything? Do they allow their moans and whimpers to ring out in
ecstasy? Or do they still whisper to each other quietly, even while in the
throes of passion?
So much that I wish I knew. So much that I wish I could experience for myself.
I feel like I'm locked out of their little game. It's so unfair.
I sighed as I got out of the make-up chair. Thinking to myself, "I REALLY wish
Greyson would call."
If for no other reason than to provide me the proper distraction to get this
madness off of my mind.
While we were filming...I kept taking glances at Chandler's butt. I hope nobody
was paying me any attention. Only a few lines of dialogue per episode kept me
from being just an extra body in the background while Asa basically stole the
show. But still...I had to make sure that nobody was taking notice of me
perving over Chandler every few minutes.
It was a really nice ass too. The curve that stretched out from his lower back
and reconnected on the back of his thighs...it was amazing. He was wearing
camouflage pants, but they definitely clung to the peaks of those delicious
mounds with a shameless embrace, occasionally giving me a hint of the narrow
cleft in between. His ass just looked 'bag of marshmallow' soft, and once I got
a good eye full...I had to force myself to turn away every few seconds. It was
the only way to stop thinking about it. I'm sure that a full blown erection is
NOT going to look good on camera! Just saying...
It was a long day. The Summer heat was worse than it had been the day before.
They had giant fans for us to stand in front of when we weren't rolling. They
didn't want us to be pouring sweat and uncomfortable while trying to act on
camera. But they 'misted' us with a spray bottle anyway when we went back for
our next scene. Not to mention that the lighting they used was too harsh to be
ignored. Every light bulb might as well have been a miniature version of the
Summer Sun itself. So those few cherished moments in front of the fan were
pretty much wasted. Ugh! Hollywood and its bright ideas.
"Alright, Evan...you've got the blocking, right?" The director of the episode
asked me.
"Yeah. I think so." I nodded.
"Great. So...you walk to your mark, say the line, and I need you to walk
forward towards your second mark, here, while continuing the dialogue.
Alright?" I nodded again. "Watch your pacing. I don't want you to block the
other actor from the camera." Everything was put into place, and I got myself
pumped up to do this. I knew my lines and all. I wasn't worried about my acting
too much, but there's always this touch of anxiety that bubbled up anyway just
before they yell 'action'. I don't know...it's something that I'm getting used
to.
Besides, if I can kiss a cute boy pop star on the lips without thinking about
the consequences...then this should be a breeze.
"Ok, quiet on set. Background. And...action!"
The scene was simple. Me and an older guy walking and talking about how we got
to where we were. I got to tell them how my parents and little sister didn't
make it, and how I've been hanging out with that group of teens at the local
high school in order to survive. It was cool to bring some emotion to my
character today. I had been looking forward to it for quite some time now. Who
knows? If I do a good enough job...maybe they'll invite my character back for
some scenes next season. I mean, anything is possible, right? They don't give
us our scripts too far in advance for secrecy sake, but I'll keep my fingers
crossed. For all I know, I could be totally ravagedby zombies before the mid-
season finale.
Then, just as I was getting ready for another take....
I just happened to notice Asa and Chandler creeping off again. Just like they
did every day. And this time, they were giggling harder than ever.
I wish I hadn't seen them leaving. It totally wrecked my focus. Which
demolished my confidence. Which, in turn, erased my memory. Even after all that
practicing in the mirror, I suddenly found myself completely lost on what I was
supposed to say! I mean...I was trying to just roll with the scene...maybe
improvise a little bit until it came back to me, but that only made me flub my
lines even worse than before.
They were out there somewhere....
Right at this very moment...
Kiss and rolling around naked. Right now, Asa is gripping those firm cheeks in
his hands and feeling his hard length pushing into him. Warm breath on the nape
of his neck. Leaking nectar. Licking. Sucking. Holding. Moaning. Swallowing.
Fucking!
Why did this still bother me so much? It's not like Chandler Riggs was my
boyfriend or anything. Why do I care? I just wanted to block it all out of my
head. I just....I wanted to get back to work.
It's times like this that I really do believe that ignorance really is bliss.
Because I'd be much better off if I had never peeked in through that trailer
window. I swear.
"Cut!" The director said, now for the fourth time. "Evan? I need you to
concentrate. Ok? Do you need to take a look at the script again?"
"Um, no. I'm sorry. I've got it." I said.
"You sure?"
"Uh-huh. Sure. I'm ready."
"Alright. Going again. Quiet. Background. And...action!"
I started again, trying to give a decent performance. But whenever the other
actor in the scene was speaking...my mind went right back to what was going on
elsewhere. I thought about Asa sucking on Chandler's tongue. Slipping his shirt
over his head to suck at his erect nipples. Having Chandler spread his legs
wide to later wrap them lovingly around his back.
It was my turn to deliver another line of dialogue. "We didn't know whether to
stay put or try to find another safe place to go. Walkers kept finding ways in.
Sometimes just one or two at a time, but then they got worse. So we decided
that we'd have to make a break for it before things got too big for us to
handle." I said. Line delivered. Ok. Cool. So far so good.
But as the other actor started talking...my teenaged mind was zapped right back
to the issue at hand. Was Chandler sucking Asa off right now? Was he licking
the tender folds and wrinkles of his sack. Was he using the inexperienced
muscles of his tongue to encourage the thick, warm, wet, nectar, that Asa had
to offer? Anxious to erupt into his eager mouth? Would his soft lips be
enough...or would he use a finger to enter him and pressure him for a more
powerful release? Maybe he'd hold off. Maybe Chandler wanted Asa's seed to be
placed elsewhere. With his knees pressed against his own shoulders, and Asa's
bright blue eyes staring down into his...
Bodies tightening...
Breathing in soft gasps and whimpers...
The motion of Asa's hips becoming stronger, more aggressive...then erratic...
The promise of orgasm...
That maddening build...
The throbbing shaft, the pulse of heated liquid being forced into the warm,
constricted, tunnel as the inner muscles swirled and chewed defiantly at its
highly erotic invader...
They would be soooo lost in the moment. It would be the greatest of pleasures.
A climax that was worthy of legend. Poetry in the flesh...
It seemed vulgar to me at the time...but I would lick the sheets they made love
on if I had the chance.
"Evan?" The director called out, snapping his fingers.
"Huh?"
"It's your line."
Did he stop talking? Already? Shit.
“Sorry.”
It was soooo humiliating!
Especially when the director said, "Ok, you know what? Let's take five, people!
Everybody take five. Let's get ourselves together here. Freddie? How are we
doing on daylight?" The director didn't really come out and say it, but just
from the look on his face, his tone of voice, and the fact that he was having a
few private whispers with some of his camera operators and producers...I could
tell that he was frustrated. A lot of people were frustrated.
I'm BLOWING it! Dammit! My first big job, and I'm blowing it!
I was practically cursing myself for being such an idiot. I just wanted to stop
thinking about them. I really WANTED to! I just...couldn't.
Something about them being so intimate...I don't know...it made me feel lonely.
It really did.
Someone on set brought me a bottled water, and I noticed that they
'conveniently' brought me a script for that particular part of the show.
Obviously, the director thought that I needed to review it and get myself back
on task before I ended up ruining an important scene. And that would be a BAD
thing. Trust me. Mad at myself for being a screw up, I walked back towards the
big fan so I could cool off and get some of this perspiration off of my face
before it got into my eyes and started stinging the hell out of me.
I was trying to hold the pages still in the synthetic high wind, rereading my
lines so that I could keep them in my head a lot better than I had been before.
What was it? "...We decided that we'd have to make a break for it before things
got too big....hmmm...a bit too BIG..." No, that's too over the top. "A bit too
big for us to handle...." I think that's right. That should work.
"Having an off day?" Came a voice from not too far behind me. I turned my head,
and nearly dropped the script at my feet as I saw that magic smile greeting me
for the first time since I kissed those lips almost a week ago. Oh my GOD...it
was the cutest thing in the world to me, and it worked wonders to lift my mood
into orbit. I couldn't even tell you why. It just did.
Thank the stars...he didn't forget about me.
Greyson grinned to himself, and he said, "I'm sorry. I was watching from behind
the thingy over there. It looked like your mind was elsewhere."
"My...I mean...well, yeah...I guess you could say that. Hehehe..." I didn't
know what to do. I began to fidget uncontrollably. It was like my body
temperature and adrenaline levels were quickly racing to the point where they
were ready to boil over. But my so called 'common sense' tried to stop them
before I went overboard. What was this? Why was he here? WAS he really here? I
can't be sure. I was certain that I was missing him to the point of having full
blown hallucinations at this point. So I wouldn't be surprised if this glorious
image turned out to be a figment of my imagination and nothing else.
Nope! The image of Greyson remained solid. And a giddy sensation raced through
me like a shiver on a frosty Winter morning. Omigod...he actually came back for
me!
We were both a bit awkward and speechless for a moment. Then he nervously held
out a brown paper bag. "I brought you something."
"You did?" I said.
"Yeah. I hear that it's the best Italian beef sandwich in the state. Well,
that's what the locals say anyway." Greyson's whole face, his whole aura,
shines brightly when he smiles at you. You specifically. It's blinding. He
said, "I figured...I owed you one. You know...because of a few days ago. I hope
you like Italian beef."
Feeling a bit weak in the knees from an obvious swoon over this boy...I could
only nod my head and mumble, "Yeah. I...um...I love Italian beef..." God, I was
so breathless.
Greyson giggled sheepishly. "Good. Well, I wasn't sure, so..." He trailed off
for a moment, and we just kind of stared into each other's eyes for a moment.
Was he feeling what I was feeling? Was it as strong for him as it was for me?
Because I was seriously about to be knocked off of my feet, here. The moment
might have only lasted a few seconds in real time. But in 'love' time...it was
damn near infinite. "It's dipped. So...the bread is nice and soggy." He said.
"I hear that you need to wreck an entire handful of napkins just to get through
one sandwich. Which...I don't know...sloppy sounds tasty to me. Hehehe!"
Hearing him laugh took my breath away.
"So...is it?" I asked.
He said, "Is what...what?"
"Is it tasty?" I smirked.
"I don't know yet. I've never tasted it before."
I thought that was weird, but I just giggled and said, "So how do you know it's
the best Italian beef in the state?"
"I don't." He shrugged. "I got another one for me. I figured...well, you
know..." Greyson blushed again, and this time it was a deeper shade of red than
any that I had seen before.
"No. I don't. What were you gonna say?" I asked.
"I just..." Greyson rolled his eyes with a smile. It was so cute that I found
myself ready to fall over again. He sighed playfully, and he said, "I thought
that maybe we could try the sandwiches out for the first time. You
know...together." He grinned. "Besides, I wanted to see you again, Evan. I've
kinda been looking forward to us...sharing another lunch. Or something....?"
I felt the fear begin to shake and tremble in my gut the second he looked me in
the eye. I can't explain why. There was no risk, no problem, no threat,
involved here. But I felt it anyway. It was more overwhelming than just
entertaining mental pictures of Asa and Chandler having sex. It was a different
feeling. Something more accessible. Something...warm and sweet. Something that
possessed me, inside and out. And I wanted to be a part of it. With all of my
heart and soul.
I reached out a hand to feel the bottom of the bag, and I said, "It's still
warm..." I don't know. It just felt like something that I should say at that
moment.
Greyson told me, "Well, I wouldn't bring you something cold, now would I?"
"I guess not."
I smiled at him.
And he smiled back, letting his gaze drop down to his feet. One of his shoes
digging bashfully in the dirt as he fought the urge to avoid my eyes.
Then, under his breath, he asked, "So...do you get a break some time soon,
or...?"
I was almost too breathless to answer at first. But I managed to say, "I've
got...um....I've gotta finish this scene, and then...I mean...maybe." He looked
up at me, and it was so adorable that I could feel it in the pit of my stomach.
So I said, "I'll be done in a few minutes. I hate to make you wait, but..."
"Oh! I don't mind." He said. "It's cool. Maybe we can even...." Greyson cleared
his throat, his blush turning an even deeper shade of crimson. "Maybe we can go
back to that lake that you took me to before. So we can be...'alone'. You
know?" He seemed sooooo shy about making it clear, but I could tell by the tilt
of his boyish smirk that he was just as interested in seeing what could develop
between us if we went out there again as I was. And that excited me in ways
that you couldn't imagine.
"Ummm...hehehe...." Still trembling, I said, "Ok. I'd...I'd like that a lot. I
just...I have to...hehehe..."
Greyson touched my arm, ever so lightly, and he said, "Take your time. I'm not
going anywhere without you. Promise. K?"
"Hehehe...k..." I said.
If I thought that I could have kissed him on the lips right then and there
without getting caught, I would have. In fact...getting caught almost didn't
matter when weighed up against the insatiable craving of holding Greyson in my
arms again. But social values held their ground in this case, and I decided to
wait until we had a chance to be...you know...ourselves.
Alone.
I heard the director calling everybody back to the set already to take our
places. I HATED to have to say goodbye to Greyson so soon, even if it was only
for a few minutes. But I told him, "Um...I'll be RIGHT back! Ok? Keep that
sandwich warm for me."
“You want me to sit on it?” He giggled. Why does that sound sexy to me? I'm SO
weird! He was like, "I can't promise that. But I'm not going anywhere. So go be
awesome on film, and I'll be right here when you get back."
"Promise???" I asked again.
"Cross my heart and hope to die." He said.
I backed away from him as he brushed a few brown locks of hair out of his eyes,
and we shared a smile as I tried to shake off the goofy tingles that he
inspired just by being there.
My baby came back to me. He really came back! And all I could think about
was...if I get this scene right, and we go back out to that lake, then I'll be
pressing my hungry lips up against his again in less than an hour. If THAT
isn't inspiration for me to get my lines right...then I don't know what is!
Alright! Back to work! Two takes! That's all I need! I've got an angel waiting
on me. I want to spend as much of my afternoon with him as possible. Even if
nothing happens between us...just being around him makes me happy. More than
happy. I'll never get enough. Not ever.
Give me fifteen minutes, Greyson! After that, I'll give you my whole heart
without hesitation. Count on it.
Wow...I still can't believe he remembered me....
How amazing is that???
