Falling Down(8)

"Oh my God!"
He chuckles and gives me a hug. "No, darlin', just Cage."
I snort and Sera mumbles, "God works."
Pine. He smells like pine and soap and man. It's a comforting scent.
He smiles and I swear I can hear Sera's heartbeat speed up. "Sera, my love."
He pulls her into a hug and she jumps up, wrapping her legs around his waist. I burst out laughing.
"If I was your love, Cage, I wouldn't be single," she says with a pout, then lays a loud smacking kiss on his lips.
We've worked with Cage at least half a dozen times on different videos with different bands and he's always made it fun for everyone and the videos were phenomenal.
Sera protests lightly when he sets her down and takes a seat at the head of the table.
"You remember Amanda, Dave, and Gina."
Sera and I nod. "Great to see you all again."
"Likewise," Dave says. Cage has amazing assistants who are loyal, professional, and I would love to steal them from him.
"So, ladies. We've got a special video we're going to start shooting today."
We both nod.
"I gave you a half hour to fuel up on your caffeine, Luce," he says with a wink. He looks at his watch. "The crew's already setting up and the band should be here in a little over an hour. I figured you both could go get all prettified before they get here so they don't have to wait."
"Temperamental artists?"
"Nah. There's just no reason for them to sit around here."
"You're awesome like that," Sera says with a purr. Cage winks at her.
"Get a room already. Sheesh." I'm not sure why they haven't already hooked up for as hot as they are for each other
They both look at me blankly. Yeah, uh-huh. We all know. As if they're fooling anyone.
"It's eight-fifteen in the damn morning. How the hell you two can be up for flirting, I have no clue."
Gina gets up and gets me more coffee.
"Bless you."
She smiles. "You're welcome."
"Dave, pass me that jelly filled doughnut."
Sera laughs.
"What?"
"You're going to hate yourself later when you've got to run extra to burn off those calories."
"Hell no. We're going to be shaking our asses out there for the video, right Cage?"
He nods. "Oh yeah."
"Well, there you go. Exercise. Calories and doughnuts burned off." I take a big bite then lick the raspberry filling.
"Pig," Sera says with a laugh.
I take another bite.
"Alright, ladies. We start filming at ten. Head on over to makeup and get yourselves made up for our rock stars."
"Whose video is it?"
Cage smiles. "All I'm going to say is they're a big name and I know you definitely like them. I'll let you be surprised."
"Hmmm."
With a wink, he and his assistants leave the room.
"Well, let's get started."




Chapter Two
Lucy
We're waiting in robes for hair and makeup to arrive. Sera's in the room next door looking through the clothes on the rack, clothes they're likely going to have us squeezing into and hanging out of. I took a quick peek at them. Skimpy.
"We're going to look seriously hot," Sera says.
"Like seriously hot hookers."
"Oh come on, Luce. When have we ever looked like hookers in any of Cage's videos?"
"True. It's just there's barely any material to those outfits. I'm afraid my hoohah is going to be showing."
Sera laughs. "That's what panties are for."
I'm ready to tell her that I don't want the world to see my panties when the hair and makeup team walk in.
