Pretty Face

~La Serene Beach Resort Hotel~

<<<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>>

The shooting of three minutes commercial for the big clothing giant, The Robes & Furs, was to be held in one of the secluded parts of the beach. This part of the beach is yet to be developed, hence it's still secluded and not open to the public. Staff says that this area was for the owners family's private use only. Even if not included yet as one of the resorts main attraction this sheltered beach not only contains a pristine beach but also had a half kilometer wide of blue-green freshwater lagoon teeming with vegetative and rare green ferns bushes and assorted of tropical trees big and small adorning the fertile land surrounding it, truly an oasis of paradise for natures lovers.

The owner of the beach resort hotel and the big clothing giant were blood sisters that is why the production team were allowed and given full access to all the resorts function and amenities.

Caden and Gavin were awestruck by the beauty of the lagoon, not only them but also the production team, they were totally mesmerized by the enchanting lagoon.

On the left side, the stunning beach was also equally captivating and inviting, waiting for their admiration and attention.

Caden had difficulty keeping his focus on one area, his head was alternately looking upon the tempting green body of water of the lagoon and then to the bluish sparkling beach on his left, then back again to the lagoon, then back again to the beach. He found both the beach and the lagoon among the most beautiful he'd ever seen, the man-made beach in the condo can not even come close to the breathtaking beach on his left side. Simply an impressive wonder of nature!

Gavin laughed at Caden's never-ending rotating head.

"Chill bro! Your torturing your neck too much. All you have to do is look up at the lagoon for five minutes and then switch to the beach in the next five minutes, this way you can be satisfied to your heart's content without pressuring your neck much," said Gavin.

Caden followed his friend's advice.

The leader of the production team Mr. Jerome Ross call everyone's attention.

Then they proceed to enter a picnic hut that can seat up to fifty people. Drinks were already served together with some mouth-watering snacks displayed deliciously in the wooden table for everyone to enjoy.

Mr. Ross stood up to the center of the gathering and make an announcement.

"Guys, it's our first day here in the beach resort. We won't be shooting anything yet. I want everyone to relax and chill first. Today you are allowed to get familiarize with the entire resorts amenities, you can go for a swim on the beach and at the lagoon as much as you want. But pay attention, no trashing of this site, no dirty garbage, and no tiny grass, ferns or bushes must be uprooted from the soil. If you do, we will be kicked out from this beach. Do you got it, guys?"

"Yes!" The team cheers and applauded. Everyone is excited to go swimming!

"Tonight we will discuss how the shooting will proceed. I want to specifically discuss the script with Gavin and Stacy later. For now, you can eat the snack in front of you at no cost and have unlimited drinks at your disposal courtesy of our employer. After the snack, you can start swimming to your heart's content because tomorrow we will start shooting the commercial. I want everyone to relax first so that everyone can bring their best for tomorrows shooting. Got it guys?

"Yes...Yes...Yesssss!" replied by everyone.

The group dispersed, some excitedly went to the changing room and change into their swimming attire right away and then the others were still around the table munching on the snacks heartily.

Stacy, a fair-skinned pretty model with a sexy body, walked towards Gavin and Caden.

"Hi Gavin," she greeted him with a sweet smile. She sat on the chair beside Gavin.

Gavin returned her greetings and smiled. "Hello, Stacy!"

A moment later Mr. Ross approached them.

Caden realized that he is not part of the meeting, exited himself quietly. "I will go for a swim in the lagoon, see you later bro!" he said.

Gavin nodded. "Enjoy bro!"

Mr. Ross joined them. He sat in front of the two models, showing them each a storyboard that consists of script and drawings.

"Listen, guys. First, the shooting will start tomorrow afternoon on the beach, then the next day we will shoot another in the lagoon. We will be shooting the same script on two different locations, the beach and the lagoon. The finished product will be presented to the Boss, she will be the one who will choose which one is the best commercial to be featured in television and online and then the rest of the photos will be for the print ads media. All we have to do is shoot the commercial the best way we can."

"Stacy and Gavin, I want you both to spend some quality times together in the next few hours getting to know each other. It will help your relationship appear real in the film. The first shoots will be more centered on Gavin then Stacy you will appear later as Gavin's loving girlfriend."

Both Gavin and Stacy nodded.

"Now start studying the script so that you will get accustomed to the storyboard and start internalizing the right emotions and facial expressions to project in the shoot. There will be some mild touching between you two. All the details are already drawn in the script's drawing, all you had to do is copy and project them on screen exactly as they are drawn. I expect that when we shoot tomorrow no more unpleasant awkwardness between the two of you. So, for example when I say let's do the # 3 sequence you will already know what to do and act upon it. Got it guys?"

"Yes Mr. Ross," both Gavin and Stacy replied.

Mr. Ross rose to his feet and left the two models to get acquainted with each other.

"Gavin, how old are you?" asked Stacy.

"I'm 22 years old," he replied.

"We have the same age! Awesome!" she smiled sweetly at him.

Gavin was looking at Caden frolicking in the lagoon.

"How long have you been modeling?" said Stacy.

Gavin looked at Stacy. "Just this year."

"Me, I been modeling since am 10 years old," she said.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" she suddenly asked.

Gavin's eyes narrowed at Stacy's face. "Yes. Why you asked?"

"Nothing," she gave him a sweet alluring smile. 'You're hot!" she murmured.

Gavin just continues staring at the pretty girl in front of him. She must be fishing for compliments, he told himself.

"You're pretty," Gavin finally replied, he's telling the truth though.

"...and?" she said waiting for more from him. She casually put her hand on his leg.

Gavin scratched his head, dunno what to say anymore. "...and sexy!" he retorted, aware of her hand settled above his right leg. He instantly distances himself away from her, not liking her playfull aggressive nature.

Stacy blushed coyly biting her lower lip, sending alluring hints to Gavin's eyes.

Gavin's brows furrowed. "Are you hitting on me?" he went direct to the point.

"Huh? What are you saying? We are just acting according to the script for tomorrows shooting. Look at sequence #10, it says the girl's hand were placed comfortably on the boy's leg. I'm just acting based on it," she said smiling, clearly amused by his reaction.

Gavin examined the script, it does have a drawing on it, a girls hand placed comfortably on the guy's leg, they were sitting in front of a bonfire.

"Oh, sorry. You didn't say you were acting based on the script," he chuckled to hide his embarrassment.

"It's okay. You are new to the modeling world, there's still a lot of things you need to learn," she said and gave him a wink.

Stacy stood up. "Come on. Let's join them," she motioned her head towards the lagoon where the rest of the production team were already swimming in the green water.

Two hours later...everyone already got tired of swimming and scrambled out of the water.

The day progresses into the night too quickly when everyone was having fun.

Caden and Gavin were now back on their hotel suites. They finished showering and changed into dry clothes.

Caden glanced at the script on the table. "You know bro, I got a huge crush on Stacy!" he said while perusing the storyboard.

Gavin grinned at his friend's confession.

"I wish I was the one shooting a commercial with her," Caden's face grimaced upon seeing some romantic scene in the script.

"Woaahh, why there's hugging, touching and kissing!?" Caden complained and whined.

Gavin brows furrowed.

"Huh? There are kissing and hugging? How is that?" he voiced his question aloud. He hasn't seen the whole script yet. He snatched the script from Caden and study the drawing on the storyboard. There's a scene of the boy and girl in front of the bonfire, they're facing the beach, the girls head leaning on the boy's shoulder and the boy wrapped his arms around the girl. Another is a scene where the couple was strolling on the seashore, holding each other's hand and the boy suddenly kissed the girl's forehead. Another scene at the swimming pool, they were both lounging in the chair and then the girl's hand is comfortably nestled in the boy's legs.

Gavin elbowed Caden. "Lol, it's just a shooting bro. Don't be jealous. It will be finished within seconds. It's not that Stacy and I are going to have sex. Don't worry I don't have that kind of intention towards her. Your crush is safe in my hands," he chuckled.

Caden pouted like a fish out of water.

Gavin laughed even harder and throws the script on the sofa.

"Come on, let's eat our dinner and let's stroll on the beach afterward."

They went into the hotel's famous dining restaurant that serves both western and eastern cuisine. The whole production crew was already there waiting for them. When dinner was over the whole team went into the beach and they gathered around the bonfire having a lively time and having an animated conversation with one another.
