Chapter 3: The Final
I am on cloud nine. It’s just that simple. Even the network executives at FUX can’t ignore the ratings and fan mail anymore. I know what they were thinking. I’m not stupid. They figured that the viewing audience would have a cow because I made Robert and Graham a couple. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve had the usual shit that you expect to get with anything like this, but the ratings are still soaring. That means that while people talk about how disgusting they think the show is or how they don’t abide by that sort of thing, well they are still watching the show. I guess its okay to bash the show in public and then watch it in the privacy of your home. Personally, I could care less. It’s all about the numbers to me.
I know the network executives don’t want to keep the show for another season. I know this because they are making my job harder and more difficult to do. I’m cool with it because I don’t plan to fail. The stars and I will decide how long this show runs. I’ve already talked to Randy and Gale. They are both excited about another season. I’ve already decided to have Graham and Robert move in together at the end of this season. I also have the huge cliff hanger too. The people who kidnapped the Senator’s wife want revenge. Graham will get a phone call saying simply, “I hope you told your little girl and your little blonde boy lover good-bye this morning.” Graham will try to call the house and get no answer. He will rush home and search for Robert and his daughter. You will see him run into the house, hear his anguished voice yelling for Robert. Camera pans and you see Robert walking down the street towards the house. He sees Graham’s car and tells the little girl, “Daddy’s home.” Then camera pans back to the house and you hear Graham’s voice yell Robert once more and then BOOM! Robert hits the ground and covers the little girl. He stands up and starts walking slowly toward what used to be their home saying over and over and over…no, no, no, no, no, no GRAHAM! At that point, the screen will go black and the credits will roll.
After a particularly grueling day filming, Gale approaches and asks if he can talk to me. We head to my office and I sit down and wait. I’ve learned it’s better to give the stars a chance to explain to me what they want rather than ask a bunch of questions. Gale takes a seat across from me and fidgets in his chair. “About that tape…”
“Don’t worry about it Gale. I wouldn’t let that tape get in the hands of any reporters.”
Gale shifted a bit nervously in his chair. “Well actually, I’m here to ask you for a favor. You see my agent thinks it will kill my career if it got out that I was gay, but I’m just sick of living a lie.”
I sat up a bit straighter in my chair and asked, “How can I help?”
“I want you to take a few pictures of Randy and me kissing and leak them to the press. I want the photos to look like we didn’t know we were being photographed. Once the pictures hit the press I can make a statement or something.”
I looked at Gale and nodded my head. “Are you sure about his Gale? It’s a big decision, and what if your agent drops you?”
“I’ve already gotten two movie deals in the works, and I think this show has at least one more season. I don’t think it will hurt my career, and I’m just tired of hiding who I am.”
“Well if that’s what you want, then I’d be happy to help you out. I’ll deal with the fallout we’ll get from FUX network, so don’t worry about that. Why don’t you and Randy meet me here after everyone goes home and I’ll see if I can take some convincing pictures for you?”
Gale smiled and winked at me. “I appreciate this more than you will ever know.”
“Hey, I’m always ready to help out my star.”
I watched as he walked out of my office. Damn, that man had one hell of a nice ass. So, now I have to figure out what I’m going to tell the executives at FUX network when this little bit of information hits the fan. I’m really happy for Gale though, so I’ll figure out a way to spin this so it’s a positive for the show.
We had just finished filming the season premiere and I figure that show is going to blow some people’s minds. Graham lived through the house explosion, but he’s in the hospital fighting for his life. Robert is going to go after the man who put the bomb in their house. I debated a long time about whether Robert should kill the guy or just bring him in. Randy was all excited about killing the guy. I think he wants to be seen as the dark and dangerous type. I was concerned that the viewing audience wouldn’t want to see their golden boy commit murder no matter how much the guy deserved to be killed, so I went with having Randy bring the guy in beat up pretty badly. Randy enjoyed filming the scenes where he got to beat up on James Spader who agreed to a guest appearance as our masked bad guy. I love it when James plays a bad boy. He has a way with evil that’s so delicious.
Oh, I forgot all about the awards the show won. I am stoked! I could probably get anyone I wanted to play on this show at the moment. Well, it’s back to work for me.
New Entry:
I had to borrow a digital camera from one of the camera men, but I was prepared for my little meeting with Gale and Randy. When I made it to the set I was surprised to see Gale there all alone. He was leaning against Kelton’s desk and he had this really lost look on his face. I’ve never seen him look so devastated. I walked up and said, “Hey Gale.”
He gave me this little fake smile and said, “Hey, I’m sorry but we aren’t going to be able to take those pictures tonight. Something came up.”
Well I’m not one to complain although that had just ruined my night, so I said, “No problem, we can do it another time.”
Gale took a really deep breath and mumbled, “Maybe.”
I couldn’t stand to see him so sad so I asked, “Is there anything wrong? I’m a really good listener, it comes with the job.”
He shifted around a bit and stared at his hands. “Simon came in.”
Oh, now I get it. Poor Gale. I didn’t understand though because I’d heard Randy myself tell Gale that if he were willing to come out, then they could give their relationship a shot. “So, what happened? Is Randy going to tell Simon about you two since you’ve decided to come out to the press?”
“He doesn’t know.”
I got a little pissed off at that comment. Here Gale was willing to risk everything because Randy wanted him to come clean about his sexuality, and when Gale finally decides to do it, now Randy doesn’t know if he’s going to leave Simon. That was just fucked up! “That really sucks, Gale! He should make up his mind who he wants and not fuck around with peoples emotions.”
Gale blinked and looked at me with this stunned expression. “I didn’t get a chance to tell Randy what I had planned. Simon showed up and I just didn’t have the opportunity.”
“Oh, shit. Sorry, I just thought he was messing with your mind.”
Gale shook his head sadly. “No, Randy isn’t like that. He hates how this will all hurt Simon, because he really does care about him, and I hate causing Randy so much aggravation. I mean it’s my fault they got together in the first place.”
“Well you just have to tell Randy the truth and let him decide how he wants to handle things.”
Gale shook his head slowly. “I just don’t know anymore. It’s really easy to pretend Simon doesn’t exist when he’s not around, but it’s another story when you have to look in the man’s eyes and know you are about to destroy his world.”
“So, you think it is better that Randy stay with Simon out of pity or something rather than be with you? That’s not right Gale.”
“No, I don’t think Randy should stay with Simon, but I’m not so sure I want him using me as the excuse to break it off either.”
I nodded my head. I could completely understand his reasoning. I gave his shoulder a little pat and asked, “So you want to go have a couple of drinks with the boss?”
He smiled and gave me a little wink. “I’d love to have drinks with my boss, but I’m really not in the mood tonight. Can I get a rain check?”
“Sure, no problem. I’ll see you first thing in the morning.”
“Yeah, I’m always the lucky one with the first calls.”
I watched him walk off the set and sighed. Damn that man had a beautiful ass. Well tomorrow was another day.
New Entry:
I can’t complain about Gale or Randy’s performances, after all, they are both professionals. I can complain about Simon. I swear if I have to hear him bitching one more time about Gale and Randy I’m going to strangle him. He’s always asking, “Does Gale have to put his hand there? Don’t you think that kiss went on a bit long? Do you really think this story line is believable? Don’t they have some rule about two agents working together who are in a relationship or something?”
I just smile at him and try my best to be polite. Actually, I just try to ignore him all together. We finished filming another episode today, and the crew wanted to have a little party. I agreed to it because these people kill themselves to make sure this show stays on the top of the ratings chart. After the first season’s success, even the writers are on board now, so my job is relatively easy.
I call Gale and Randy over because I need to remind them about the promotional shots we are making tomorrow. I need them in make-up earlier than usual. Simon of course wants to know why I can’t just use shots of them from the show. I’m already just a bit out of sorts so I reply, “Because I want the shots and that’s all you need to know.”
I give Randy a little apologetic shrug because I don’t mean to diss his boyfriend and shit, but really how much of that type of junk am I supposed to take. I paste a smile on my face and turn to Simon, “So, when are you going home?”
“Actually, I’m thinking of staying till you guys break for the holidays and going back home with Randy.”
I try not to groan out loud. How the hell will I survive that long? “How nice that you can take that time off work.”
“Oh, I’m writing a story about the show, so it’s all good.”
Fucking great! Another Simon tirade about all that is wrong with Evanesced and how it’s all Gale’s fault. I see Randy standing behind Simon and making motions with his head. Once he catches my eye he says, “Hey aren’t we supposed to film that scene from episode 212 tonight?”
I figured what the hell, I can play along. “Yes we were planning on doing that, are you sure you still want to since Simon is visiting and all?”
“Simon understands this is my job, so if you want us to film I’ll be here.”
Simon speaks up, “I don’t mind. I’ll come with you and watch.”
Randy shakes his head and says, “Sorry, but it’s a closed set filming. No one is allowed but the actors and camera crew. We are filming with a skeleton crew for this one.”
“Why is the set closed? That’s ridiculous.” Simon turns his eyes towards me.
I have to think quickly, so I say, “Well we are filming an alternate ending to that episode. I’m not sure which way I want to go with the story line, so I’m giving myself some options till I make up my mind.”
“So, that doesn’t mean I can’t come,” stated Simon.
“Actually it does. I don’t want anyone knowing about this until I decide what I want to do.”
“Well Randy will tell me all about it, so what difference does it make.”
I’m getting really annoyed now, so I state in my most menacing voice, “Randy won’t tell you if he values his job. As a matter of fact, you just gave me the perfect reason to ban you from all filming, so I’d be very careful from here on out.”
Simon gasps and looks at Randy sputtering, “She can’t do that can she?”
Randy just nods his head. “She can pretty much do whatever she wants around here. She’s the boss.”
New Entry:
I arrive on the set to some pretty heated words being exchanged by my two stars. Gale is telling Randy to go back to his fucking boyfriend and Randy is telling Gale to grow up. I stop and listen. It seems that Randy wanted to meet here to talk to Gale, and Gale just wants to get this job over with. This concerns me because if my stars decide to abandon the production, it’s over.
Randy starts yelling that Gale shouldn’t be jealous of Simon and the only reason he’s with Simon is because Gale refused to acknowledge their relationship.
Gale is yelling that Randy shouldn’t be stringing Simon along that if he didn’t love him he should just leave him.
Randy screams, “Leave him for what Gale? You aren’t offering me anything.”
That’s when Gale loses it and says, “I was going to! I already had plans to speak to the press! I just won’t be used as a convenient excuse for you to leave Simon!”
Randy looked shocked and asked, “What the hell are you talking about?”
Gale just shook his head and sighed. “Look Randy, you know how I feel about you, how I’ve always felt about you. It was never enough. You never tried to understand me or my feelings. I’ve always been expected to be the one to fly to you. I can’t do it anymore. Either you want to be with me or you want to be with Simon, but you can’t keep jerking us both around.”
Randy just stared at Gale for a moment. “You’re right. I’ll tell him tonight.”
Gale looked at Randy. “Are you serious?”
“Yes, I’ll tell him tonight. I’m not going to do this anymore either. If you want to be with me, fine. If not, at least I’ll know I tried.”
Gale smiled brightly and gave Randy a big hug. “I love you so much!”
I stood back and watched as Randy gave Gale a killer kiss. I couldn’t help it. I was addicted to watching these guys. I figured now would be a great time to get some of those shots that Gale wanted, so I took aim and clicked away.
It didn’t take Randy long to yank off Gale’s shirt and Gale was just as aggressive in opening Randy’s pants. I waited till they were both completed naked and started taking some more pictures. These would be for my private collection of course. I watched as they kissed and tugged at each other’s hair. It was sexy as hell.
Randy reached down and ran his fingers along Gale’s erection as he hungrily sucked on his co-star’s tongue. I heard Gale moan softly as he reached down to copy Randy’s movements.
I heard Randy growl, “I’m gonna fuck you so hard. I can’t wait to feel your tight little ass squeezing my cock.”
“Let me ride you Randy. I love watching your face.”
I watched as Randy practically drug Gale over to the little half sofa in the corner. We had to scale some things down a bit to fit everything onto this set. Randy dropped down and pulled Gale into another devouring kiss.
Randy pushed Gale up and said, “Go get the condom and lube, then I want you to put on a show for me.”
Gale walked over to his jacket and took out the necessary supplies before walking back to stand in front of Randy. “What do you want me to do?”
“Well, I would have loved to watch you strip for me slowly, but since you are already naked, I guess I’ll just have to settle for watching you prepare your ass for my cock.”
Gale turned and bent over looking back at Randy over his shoulder. I watched as he squeezed some lube onto his fingers and reached back to play with his little hole. Damn it! I had the worst possible vantage point. I looked around quickly wondering if I could get into a better position to watch, but was disappointed to realize I’d just have to make do with this angle.
“God, that’s so fucking hot Gale. Push that finger in nice and deep. You have a greedy little ass, don’t ya?”
I watched as Gale’s face screwed up in a mixture of pain and pleasure. I watched each drop of sweat trickle down his chest as he worked on his ass. This is one of those times when you are happy it’s always so fucking hot on a set. Don’t you just love to watch the sweat slide down a sexy man’s chest?
“That’s right, keep adding fingers. Shove em in deeper. God you are so fucking sexy.”
“I’m ready now.”
I watched as Gale spun around and straddles Randy’s legs leaning in to kiss him. Randy slid the condom on and gripped his cock firmly holding it in position as Gale slowly sat down. I heard Gale’s whimpers and moans as he finally sat all the way down burying Randy’s cock deep inside his ass.
“Fuck! Your ass is so fucking tight. That’s it. Ride me harder.”
I heard Gale moaning louder and watched as he lifted himself up and plunged down again and again. I couldn’t help but stare as Randy’s cock disappeared time and time again.
Gale started rotating his hips and Randy’s head fell back on the sofa. I watched as Randy’s fingers gripped Gale’s hip with almost bruising force.
“Oh God, Randy, I’m gonna cum.”
I watched in fascination as Gale slammed his body down harder and harder throwing his head back moaning louder and louder. Randy’s head came up off the back of the sofa and he bit his bottom lip before groaning, “Fuck yeah, squeeze my cock like that again. Shit that’s so fucking amazing.”
Gale’s mouth fell open and his body seemed to go completely rigid. Well, his entire body except for his hips which were twitching back and forth in slight pumping motions.
“Uuugghh, yesssss.” I heard Randy’s voice change pitch as he shoved his hips upwards a couple of times before falling back on the couch. Gale collapsed forward onto Randy’s chest gasping softly.
“I love you too, Gale.” That was the last thing I heard as I made my way back up to my office. While I felt just a little sorry for Simon, I was certainly happy to see Gale and Randy together and happy.
New Entry:
Things are going great with the show. I am happy to see that Gale suffered no ill effects from coming out. It seems everyone knew he was gay anyway. Simon didn’t take the news at all well, but you really can’t blame him. He still writes something nasty about Gale every once in awhile, but all in all, life is good. We are waiting to find out if Evanesced is going to be granted another season by FUX network, but even if we don’t get it, I’ll still be happy. I did something pretty good with this show, and we all have a lot to be proud of. I have to make an appearance at a fund raiser tonight, so I have to find something fabulous to wear. I have a date with two of the hottest men on television at the moment. No way am I showing up looking like hag.
