the black of Ricky’s tux.
We both watched eagerly as the director gave instructions to Ricky. We were too far away to hear the actual words, but we could tell from his gestures that it was time to start. He first positioned Ricky’s body at just the right angle, his face, and then his arms, with one hand stuck in his pocket, creating the image of a handsome, confident man with his stylish car. It was definitely interesting to see how much work went into making someone look relaxed.
Then the director walked off the set and returned momentarily, escorting a beautiful Japanese woman. She covered the distance gracefully, her tall, slender body swaying gently as her long legs carried her toward Ricky and the car.
Elyse’s eyes popped open wide and she gave a nervous little laugh. “I didn’t know there was a female lead in this commercial. Did you?”
“Well, yes. She’s one of the top models in Japan.” I nearly kicked myself as soon as the words left my mouth. That wasn’t helping the situation. I tried again to brush it off. “You know these car commercials. They always have to have hot women in them.” Wow, I really sucked at trying to make things better.
“Yeah, but she’s hot. Like super hot .” Elyse wrinkled her nose.
I reached over and patted her hand. “Don’t worry, Elyse. It’s just a commercial. It’s just pretend.” But I could tell she wasn’t convinced. Hell, if it had been Patrick up there, I wasn’t so sure I could’ve been talked out of walking on stage and dragging him off.
We turned our attention back to the illuminated scene before us. The director had stepped back to his chair and the action was underway. Ricky started by striking his pose next to the car, and then he turned to the woman and embraced her. He gazed into her eyes, lifted her chin gently with his fingers, and then gave her a passionate kiss. I had to admit, he was a good actor because he looked like he was really enjoying that kiss. A very thorough kiss from the looks of it.
I saw Elyse shift uneasily in her chair. She shot a quick glance my way and gave me a little crooked smile. “It’s all pretend, right?”
I nodded. She definitely had more self-control than I did.. If our positions had been reversed, I wouldn’t have just been dragging my man off stage. I would’ve been giving the model a few choice words and maybe even a good punch in the nose.
“No wonder he agreed to this commercial.” This time her words were edged with jealousy.
Just when I thought the kissing scene was over and the action would move on to something else less bothersome, the director yelled out, “Cut!” He ran up to Ricky and the gorgeous woman who was still smiling after the kiss. The director chattered to her in Japanese, then announced in English, “Do it again.” He hurried back to his seat.
The make-up artist ran up and dabbed some powder on the woman’s face, then swept her long, black hair to the side, getting it into place so the camera could shoot the kiss without any obstructions. It wasn’t until she did this that I realized, my stomach sinking, that the kissing scene was going to be shot several times. The final version of the kiss would likely be a huge close up, zoomed in on Ricky devouring those luscious lips. Poor Elyse, I thought, this had to be horrible for her. At least the commercial was only airing in Japan. I could only imagine what seeing it on TV would do. I didn’t understand how actors could do it.
The make-up girl ducked off the set just as the director called for the action to begin again. Ricky struck his pose, then moved in for the kiss, this time moving slowly and taking even longer on the kiss, as the two of them twisted into what seemed like an eternity of a lip lock. As they kissed, the strap of her slinky black dress slipped off her shoulder, exposing her bare back to the camera as Ricky’s hand ran over her smooth skin. He pulled
