Day 13 of Nanowrimo (challenge: use “”It was hardly my fault that the kippers were yellow”):<\/p>\n
When I got onto the set that afternoon, the star of the film, Trenton, was arguing with craft services.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153They were absolute rubbish! The color was off and they smelled funky,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said in a clipped British accent. Even when he was talking about old fish, the accent reminded me of Masterpiece Theater and Jane Austen. Which is probably no coincidence, given that he had starred in plenty of Masterpiece Theater. And a few Jane Austen adaptations at that.<\/p>\n
The craft services guy was arranging raw vegetables on a plate trying to ignore Trenton. I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t envy the guy. Weird British foods for Trenton. Vegan only for Trenton\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s costar, Felicity. Chips and cookies for everyone else.<\/p>\n
Trenton ran his hands through his short dark curly hair. He was dressed for his part, and was absolutely stunning in his Bermuda shorts. His chest was perfectly developed and his abs nicely rippled. When he smiled\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwhich he certainly wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t doing right now\u00e2\u20ac\u201ddeep dimples pocketed his cheeks. I suddenly became aware that I was staring, so I looked back down at my script to check my notes. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Well?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Trenton asked impatiently.<\/p>\n
The craft services guy looked up. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What do you expect from me here, your highness? It was hardly my fault that the kippers were yellow. This is breakfast in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. Not high tea at Buckingham Palace. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcKipper snacks\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 were all that was available.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Trenton huffed loudly and turned. He caught my eye as I looked up from the script, and gave me a little wink, as if it were all good fun, as if he weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t such a prima donna as to care whether or not he had proper kippers. I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fooled. But I was still mildly turned on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
