Prodigal Daughter (Ben Hardy x Reader)

Prompt: Ben and the cast finds out reader is an expert drummer.

When your dog-loving boyfriend auditioned for Bohemian Rhapsody, he's been working hard to be able to play the percussive set as he wanted to honor the character the he was going to play in the movie. You supported him as a loving girlfriend would do although not that he didn't knew much about you but the fact that you were actually an expert on the drum set had him, his castmates and the two members of Queen in total awe as they eyed from across the stage set.

It happpened like this….

"Awe love, thanks coming here to support me." Ben had an arm around you while walking together, following his cast mates and the others to the stage. The iconic Live Aid was their first scene as Ben told you and for support, you went to watch him as you wanted to see the hard work of your dear lover.

"Love, you should rest for a bit. You've been playing for a quite a while." Your voice laced with concerned. You watch him shake his head no, "It's okay, love." He continous to do the drum routine.

You know that he will nail it. And what better way to boost him than be there and cheer for him.

You stood afar from the set as they shot the scene. You would catch him glancing at you with his biggest smiles as you would bob your head to his beat. The beat that you fell inlove with in your teen years. You didn't even notice the way your foot tap to the ground, each stomp so acute to the beat of the biggest drum.

"and….CUT!!"

You were the first to cheer as you ran to the stage to meet Ben, him doing the same by jumping off it with a large smile welcoming you in his muscly and comfy embrace. You could tell he was proud of himself.

"Babe! That was so cool!!!"

"I KNOW, I was like--" he babble with some sound effects, making some clear emphasis of what he had seen himself doing behind the drum set. Giggling at his action, you both walked together to the bottom of the stage where the peeps had gathered.

Exchanging different compliments, Ben and his castmates were rained with praises from Roger and Brian.

"My almost prodigal son is here." The lead drummer of Queen quoted earning a shy smile from the lad. The man has been a great role model for Ben as he almost stood as a father to him and to you aswell.

"Almost."

"I think we could all agree to that can we?" Gwilym said.

"Well, he did nail it. Good Job Benjamin. But I think Cardboard Ben is Better." Laughter bursted inside the loose circle, you laughing along Joe's affection to your boyfriend carbon copy in cardboard.

"Stop it, Joe. Your hurting my feelings here."

The chatter continued, talking and complementing Rami and Gwylim of them rocking their own routine.

"O My Goodness! Y/n M/n L/n. Is that really you?"

Now this somehow caught everyone's attention. Turning to the owner of the voice, you met the very, very familiar face of a female. It didn't made you hold back the smile the moment you met her gaze.

"JEM!! ITS YOU!!" Basically scurrying out of Ben's embrace, enveloping the girl in a bear hug, and vice versa.

Joe was the first to speak out of all the confused faces.

"Jem, love? You know Y/n?"

Ben was also confused as he knew all of your friends yet he wasn't very much familiar with this one but not in a bad way. The interaction you gave looked genuined and so did hers, it was as if you knew the said stranger almost by heart.

Jem, who is basically bear hugging you looked back to her boyfriend and said,

"OH, Joe, guys, remember when I said I was in a band?"

Everyone nodded.

"Well, you see we were a four person band and I know you have met my two other former band mates and I said I had lost contact with one of my members since our accounts have been hacked before. " you still had the girl in your grasp while looking at the small crowd cowering around the both of you.

"W-wait? Are you saying Y/n's your long lost band member?"

Jem nodded furiously at Lucy's question.

"Wow! Y/n, why didn't you say anything?"

Ben had a seemingly excited look on his face as if he was a boy who just found a treasure chest in his backyard. His eyes trained on you. Curiosity lingering on them.

"Well, nobody real asked about it and that was way too long ago." You trailed.

Joe suddenly pops up statement.

"Hold on a minute, Viola said that she was the pianist and Jax was the bassist. And you told me that you were lead vocalist…"

Ben was the next to speak, following his friend's statement.

"Which would mean that my girlfriend, is your band'--"

"Lead drummer? Yeah!"

The confidence your dear friend radiated as she began to brag you to your friends turning you into a shy fly. And the fact that your idol, nome other than another father figure aswell known as Roger Meddows Taylor, who is basically standing beside you is hearing all this things got you shy chills.

"Hey, Jem thats enough. Besides, as I said that was quite a long time ago and I don't think I could be that great on it anymore."

Jem gave you and eye roll, "Y/n, there's no way that you could loose your touch. Even if your mind doesn't remember, your hands and feet does. Also, I heard from Ben that he would sometimes catch you playing with your chopstick while doing the dishes. I should've known your dating the hunk of a man sooner." You rolled your eyes as Jem whispered the last sentence to you.

"How 'bout you plah for us love?" Roger placed a hand on your shoulder, handing you a pair of sticks. Your eyes turned into saucers.

"I-i don't know Mr. Taylor--" "Roger kiddo."

You smiled, "Roger, as much as I want to play. I not as good as I was before."

This time Ben talks you out.

"You can't be that bad love, we just wanna see you play. You can go do any song."

You looked at him, rather unsure of yourself. Sure, one can't unlearn what is learned. Everyone around you started to encourage you aswell. Ben's puppy eyes, was the last warning bell you could ever receive as you sighed and took the drum sticks. Suddenly feeling a spark in your palms after having contact with it after a long while.

"Go Y/N!!"

"YOU CAN DO IT LOVE!!"

You ran up to the stage, thanking yourself for wearing a pair jeans on this unexpected day. Jem skipped her way as she followed you and as if she already knew what song you were gonna play, she hurriedly plugged her phone on the jack and waited for you settle.

"Brings back memories doesn't it?" You shrugged off and smiled as you held the sticks in position.

"Damn, feeling deja vu here."

"You just miss it." Jem replied to you.

You stared past the drum set meeting Ben's eyes as he howls your name. Roger doing the same and so does the others around the stage. Father and boyfriend, cheering for you. What a heck of a combo.

You nodded to Jem who proceeded to play the track with a little low volume so it won't over power your routine.

"GO! Y/N GO!" she called out.

Taking a deep breath, you let yourself get lost on the music.

(0:00 to 0:15)

Like your hands had its own mind, it smashed the sticks tips to the first beats. Nearly missing the timing.

"That's a good start." You joked to yourself as you continue to the beat.

Eyeing back to back to your small audience. Their heads bobbing with your beat with smiles on their faces. Watching as your pace gradually quickened along the way.

(0:16 to 0:25)

"I think it's getting faster."

Rami's comment made Ben aware with his girlfriend beat. After having countless practice and hearing some bands drummer plays, Bon Jovi's song had some of the trickiest drum routines and he could tell how complicated the beat and yet, seeing you calmly beaming with each hit, your hands and arms swiftly moving to the next beat as if she practiced the whole routine for almost a week. Whats more was also, it looked quite your style.

Your face looked calm and composed with each beating.

He marvelled you and as if you were so used to the clashing and bashing, you didn't miss any timing.

(0:26 to 1:09)

No eyes left your figure while staying on your beat. Each pair beaming the quicker your arms switch directions as the chorus neared then, what happened next was a small yet seemingly gigantic movement when they caught it. That was the moment Ben knew that his girlfriend wasn't an amatuer drummer.

You twirled one drumstick in between your fingers as the other hit the cymbals, your lips mouthing the lyrics with a smile etched on it. Then slamming both down to the clash instrument.

"Ohhh!!!" "She twirled them! Did you see that?!"

Your hands swifting left to right like accelerate, still singing to the chorus. You drowned yourself to the symphony of each percussion that surrounded you like no one was watching, eyes closed you, staying with the beat.

(1:09 to 2:00)

Maintaining a heck of speed had Roger Taylor screaming his heart out for you. Calling your name, screaming 'thats my kid!!' Out of now where and jumping along the music. Like a proud dad, he cheered.

People were bouncing like they were in a rock concert. Joe was banging his head to your melody. Gwilym and Rami were arm in arm and singing to the song. Brian was dancing around with Lucy.

(2:00 to 2:03)

Your speed growing to a thunderous amount that had everyone going out of their mind while you sat there like you practiced the whole performance for weeks.

"Oh my god! She's freaking nailing it."

"UGH! Ben she's a freaking Queen!"

Ben was freaking out like everybody else while watching your routine with the sticks that even thought he can't do.

(2:03 to 2:32)

The crowd under the stage as the staff was singing along while you drum your heart out. Your movements were so in sync with what your mind had thought of in every sequence, executing everything perfectly. Continuing to the music, each beat was a perfect hit. You caught sight of Ben who had a hand on his forehead and another on his, face had saucer eyes and a slack jawed smile, staring at you.

You let yourself meet his gaze as he notice this.

You winked at him.

(2:34 til end.)

Ben's breath hitched as Roger muttered an 'oh my god' beside him as you threw a stick in the air, then catching it perfectly before hitting the beat perfectly once again.

Everyone was screaming after that, Joe was grabbing his permed hair as if he had witness something insane before him. Lucy could tell that after this mini concert, she won't be able to talk the next day.

Doing a couple more stick twirling and fast paced movements, you finally reach an end with a satisfying clash from the cymbals. Panting, you turned to you now large crowd, screaming for you.

"And there goes your Prodigal Daughter." Roger could only nod on Brian's statement.

Ben rushed up to stage and immediatly lifted you off the ground. Rambling how insanely amazing you were.

"You gotta teach me your ways love." He mumbled against your lips.

"As long as I get something in return." You said after quick peck on his lips.

[bluesfortheredj]

The four men sit uncomfortably close to one another on the tiny sofa that had been set out in the studio for interviews and they start to thank their lucky stars that they’ve all become very good friends as their legs rub against each other every time one of them moves. It was their last interview of the day and to be honest they were hoping for someone who would ask them something a little different to the repetitive questions they’d been answering all day. Keeping up an act of answering the same thing throughout the day had worn them down very quickly, and they were in desperate need of something to regain their enthusiasm. Just as they get new bottles of water handed to them, a man walks in with a clipboard and they all smile at him as he approaches.

“Hello, I’m Martin,” he introduces himself, “very nice to meet you all.”

He moves along the line of Joe, Rami, Ben and Gwilym to shake their hands then takes his seat opposite them as the camera operator gets into position.

“I promise I’ll keep this as concise as I can, I know you’ve had a full day of press today,” Martin smiles.

“Don’t worry about it,” Joe replies, “we’ve grown to love this room now.”

Ben laughs out loud at his comment, unable to hide his annoyance at being stuck here all day, but he sits himself up with a smile when the camera starts to roll and Martin begins his list of questions.

“We’ll start off easy, and I’d like you all to answer at the same time if possible. Favourite Queen song?” Martin asks, knowing full well this would have been one of those questions that was asked all day.

“Somebody to love,” they all reply simultaneously with large grins.

“Very well practised!” Martin laughs, “so, Ben, you had Roger guiding you through the process of becoming a member of Queen and Gwilym, you had Brian. I’d like to know what it was like for you, Joe, and Rami to meet the two members of Queen.”

“Eye opening,” Joe replies with a smile, “I had someone to teach me bass, but to add to the whole effect of me becoming John they really helped with all the stories they had from their days touring together and setting the band up. Of course I watched a load of videos to get his movements and mannerisms, but hearing what he was like was such a huge part of it as well.”

“I agree,” Rami nods, “obviously I had a lot more content to work with than Joe did, as Freddie was such a huge personality that loved being the centre of attention, whereas John was very reserved, but yeah, hearing stories from two of the closest people to Freddie made a huge difference in how I portrayed him, and I think we both learned a heck of a lot from Brian and Roger. It really wouldn’t have been the same without their input into our characterisations.”

Martin nods as he takes notes as well, then looks between Ben and Gwilym as he prepares for his next question.

“Now to you two. Ben, apart from Roger who would you say was another person you were excited to meet? And Gwilym, putting Brian to one side, who were you looking forward to meeting the most?” Martin asks as he swings his pen around in his hand. Gwilym looks to Ben and gestures for him to go first.

“Well, apart from Roger, for me it would be Brian,” he laughs, “I mean, it’s two members of Queen! They’re these rock gods who have idol status worldwide and here they are chatting to me. It was crazy, it blew my mind, it still does. I don’t think Gwil’s answer will be Roger though somehow...”

“And why is that?” Martin questions as he turns his attention to a smirking Gwilym.

“Thanks Ben,” he chuckles, “it would be Roger if it weren’t for Brian’s daughter, (Y/N).”

“Ah yes, the author?” Martin confirms.

“Yes, that’s her. She wrote one of my favourite modern fictions, and I sort of freaked out a little when I met her. It was all very embarrassing and Brian was giving me this look throughout the whole conversation we were having,” Gwilym reminisces, “some people say to never meet your idols, but they couldn’t be more wrong in this case. She didn’t mind me asking all sorts of questions about her book and even listened to me when I was literally quoting her own work to her. The second time we met I managed to keep it cool.”

“And what about the third, fourth, fifth and sixth times?” Joe chimes in, wiggling his eyebrows at Gwil from the other end of the sofa.

“I’m listening...” Martin prompts.

“(Y/N) ended up being an extra in a couple of scenes so she came to set a few times, much to my delight, and I got to know one of the most knowledgeable, effervescent and fascinating people I’ve ever met.”

“Much to Brian’s dismay...” Ben chuckles, “has he had the protective dad talk with you yet?”

“Does this mean you’re together?” Martin asks as he takes his cue from Ben’s question.

“Yes to both of those questions,” Gwilym blushes, “Brian’s very supportive I’ll have you know. It was a little awkward at first of course and I had to completely de-Brian before I could even attempt to flirt with her. I remember making a comment to her about how lovely she looked one day when she arrived on set and (Y/N) just looked at me in utter horror for a few seconds.”

“Oh no,” Rami cringes from the middle of the couch.

“Exactly,” Gwilym laughs, “but to be honest I was completely taken aback at the fact that (Y/N) actually saw me in the way I saw her. I didn’t think it’d be possible. But months on and we’re still going strong, so long may it continue.”

“You guys are great together,” Ben smiles, “I think we all saw it coming before they did.”

“They were nervous wrecks around each other!” Joe giggles, “it was fun to watch, and so satisfying when they finally got together.”

“Myself and Gwilym are very lucky to have taken so much more away from this film than just the experience of creating such an amazing piece of art,” Rami adds.

“I wholeheartedly agree,” Gwilym nods.

may I ask for a Gwilym Lee imagine please? the cast are on an interview and are remembering how they met one of their idols(mostly Gwilym) on the set:Yn May,Brians daughter,who's a famous author. and now her and Gwilym are dating

Just A Distraction - part 8

Ben Hardy! x Roger Taylor! x Reader!

Summary: You’re Roger Taylor’s daughter, also working as his assistant. Rehearsals and production have started for BoRhap, and as his assistant and daughter, you are there to help, and also support him. Day one of rehearsals, you meet Rami, Gwilym, Joe, and Ben. You and Ben become completely enamored by each other, causing him to lose focus during the process. This movie means a lot to your dad, could you two make it work, or will you being a distraction cause tension between Ben and Roger?

Word count: 1286

Warnings: slight cussing, a bit of angstttttt

A/N: an on time update??? Whaaaaat?? this is a little shorter than I originally wanted, but it turned out good I think. Enjoy!

“Look, I’m not saying that you cheated,” Gwilym said, sitting across from Joe, “I’m just saying, I don’t remember you buying Park Place.”

“Well, I did, and I have the card to prove it,” Joe replied waving the property card in front of his face. It was a Tuesday night, and Rami, Joe, and Gwilym were all having a fun night in at Ben’s place playing Monopoly.

“Joe, you didn’t buy it,” Rami said, leaning back in his chair,

“Yes I did!” He exclaimed, “you’re just mad because you wanted to be the banker, but I beat you to it.”

“EXACTLY! You’re the banker, so it would make it so easy for you to cheat!” Gwilym said, “you have control of all the money and the properties, you could easily just take one of the property cards for yourself.”

Ben listened as the other boys argued back and forth about whether Joe cheated or not. He did, but Ben wasn’t going to rat out his best mate. When Gwilym and Rami got up to get a beer, he took the card for himself and put it in with his other property cards,

“Just take your little doggy,” Joe said, picking up Gwilym’s dog playing piece, “put it on Park Place, and pay me my $35.”

“Piss off,” Gwilym grumbled, tossing the monopoly money at Joe and placing his dog on the spot on the board. Joe smiled triumphantly as he added the money to his pile. Ben sat in silence, fiddling with his car playing piece,

“Mate, it’s your turn,” Gwilym said, sliding the dice to Ben. He sighed and took the dice in his hand, but then sat in back down on the board,

“Rami can go next. Just skip me for right now, I’m not in the mood,” he said. It had been a few days since the two of you went on your date, and everyone was given a few days off from filming to take a little break. Ben tried to make plans with you to hangout while he had some free time, but you still had a lot of work to do with Roger, and by the time you finished, you were too tired to do anything. He thought maybe you would have wanted to hangout tonight, since all the boys were over as well, but Roger had a pile of paperwork waiting for you at home,

“You alright, Ben?” Rami asked, snapping him back to reality,

“What? Oh, yeah. I’m fine,” he said,

“Yeah, I don’t believe that for a second,” Joe said, setting the cards down and turning his attention to Ben, “tell us what’s really going on.”

“Well,” Ben sighed, setting the car down on the table, “(Y/N) and I got into a little spat the other night. I was kind of a dick. I don’t know. Now, we’ve barely been talking. I know it’s because she’s busy with her dad, but I can’t help but feel like it’s because of what happened the other night.”

“Well, what happened?” Rami questioned. They all focused on Ben, Joe taking a swig of beer,

“I just told her how I don’t want to hide our relationship anymore, but she says we have to. I got a bit pissy, didn’t kiss her goodnight, but am I a terrible person just because I want to kiss the girl I love for the whole world to see that she’s mine?”

As the words spilled out of his mouth, the beer Joe had in his mouth was now all over the board game, and everyone,

“You...what?” Joe asked, stunned by Ben’s answer,

“Love is...a strong word, mate,” Gwilym stated,

“I know how I feel,” Ben snapped, looking at him, then back down at the car playing piece,

“Tell her,” Rami said. Ben looked up at him, sitting on the opposite side of the table from him,

“It’s not that easy,” he sighed, tossing the car playing piece across the beer covered board, “we haven’t been together that long, and we can’t even go public with our relationship. It’s so hard, seeing her every single day on set, wanting to just kiss her and hold her in my arms, but not being able to. Most of the time, we can’t even say anything to each other unless we’re sneaking about. I’m tired of it.”

“I know you are, but I guess that’s just how things have to be right now,” Joe said. Ben’s lips pursed as he glared at Joe, and in that instant, he flipped the monopoly board and it went flying; money, cards, dice, and game pieces going everywhere,

“I’M SO SICK OF HEARING THAT,” he yelled, getting up from the table and pacing back and forth, “that’s the only answer I get from her. ‘It’s how things have to be right now, Ben.’ ‘It’s not a good time to talk about this, Ben.’ Alright, well when is a good time?!”

“Wooooow,” Joe said, everyone else sitting in silence. After a few minutes, Ben finally calmed down and took back his seat at the table,

“I’m sorry,” he mumbled, laying his forehead against the table,

“A pair of star-crossed lovers,” Gwilym said, picking up the game pieces off of the floor,

“I don’t think now is the time to quote Shakespeare,” Rami said, “first, we have to clean up the mess Romeo made.”

“Shut up,” Ben chuckled slightly, getting up and grabbing a towel to clean up the beer Joe had spit out earlier,

“It’ll all work out, Ben,” Joe said, putting the game back in the box, “just give it time.”

“One can only hope,” he sighed, cleaning up the last bit of beer and tossing the towel onto the kitchen counter, “I think I will talk to her. Maybe tomorrow.”

“There you go,” Joe smiled, patting his best friend on the shoulder,

“I still think you cheated,” Gwilym said, eyeing Joe,

“Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t,” he shrugged, “you will never know.”

***

Meanwhile, you were stuck at home, with a pile of contracts and bills in front of you, all of which were Roger’s. All needing to be paid, stuffed in envelopes, and stamped so they could be sent off the following day. You wanted to go hangout with Ben and the other boys, but there was no way Roger was gonna let you get out of doing this. By the time you finished, three hours had gone by, Roger was in bed and Tiger Lily had finally gone back to her place. When you finally stamped the last envelope, you put them all in a bag so you could mail them off the following day. As you laid down in bed, you checked your phone for the first time in those three hours. No text from Ben. Nothing. You figured it was just because he was busy with the boys, but it would have been nice to have just one little text. He had texted you good night every night, up until the night of your last date. It was silly. You felt yourself falling for him, but did he feel the same way? Doubt it, you thought to yourself whenever the thought entered your mind. Why would he? You were the one holding back from going public, because of your father. He could have anyone he wanted. Anyone, willing to show off to the world. Why would he fall for you? You sighed, setting your phone down on the side table, then rolling over; falling fast asleep, to dream sweet dreams of the day you and Ben could finally go public, with no backlash from Roger. That’s all you seemed to dream about these days.

Someone like... Me? - Part 4 (Fem reader x Rami Malek + Gwilym Lee)

Anger is just sad's bodyguard. You had to find out the hard way. Luckily you have people who care for you, maybe they don't say it out loud but actions speak louder than words. There are relationships growing and shattering, but maybe it isn't as obvious as you think it is. Nothing is only black and white. At some time you have to put away your pride, because it's much easier losing your pride over someone than losing someone over your pride. You love Rami, deeply. Rami loves you, dearly. You know that and others see that. Everyone tells a white lie sometimes and maybe sometimes it even is for the better. But will, those who think it's permissible to tell white lies, not soon grow colourblind? Wordcount: + 3,9 k Warning: none, fluff

-----------------------------------

I check my phone. Ugh. It's 4.53 pm already. I've been in here for over 45 minutes. I wonder how Rami reacted when he heard about my incident. Hmm... he does know, doesn't he? Yea he must've heard. Gwil was talking to someone. And he was very specific in saying that Rami was not welcome. Who was he talking to anyway? And why didn't he want Rami to come? Ok that one is not so hard to understand. I need to remind myself to finish that conversation later, I had with Gwil earlier.

The nurse startles me for a bit when she lets me know we're done. I thank both her and the doctor and walk out of the room. Suddenly I feel so dumb about what I did. That I just lost my temper like that. In front of someone. Gwil nonetheless. O my God facing him in a bit will be so embarrassing. Hmm.. I could sneak away through some side door.. Nah, I can't just bail on Gwil like that after what he did for me. Especially since he helped me and brought me here. When I walk through the big slide-doors, Gwil holding this helium balloon you always can buy in a hospital. And... Joe? So that's who he called earlier. Sigh, I'm so relieved.

With my most embarrassed smile I hold up my arm. ''well, good thing is It probably doesn't get any worse than this''. Joe starts laughing right away in a really (bad kind of) evil way, shaking his head. ''ohhh. Ohhhh No, no ,no. Look Amelia, that's where you're wrong. See.. it DOES get worse''. He walks to the counter and asks something to the nurse behind it, who then hands him something. With a bright smile he holds up a marker. ''Oh yeah. ME FIRST''. To: Amelia-Rocky-Balboa-L/N. From: Joseph ;-). It says.

Gwil starts laughing. ''Mate you know that's not how writing on a cast works right? It's not a postcard''. Joe rolls his eyes. ''Okay well how about this then?'' He draws something quick. ''JOE! NO WHAT THE HECK'' I growled to him. He's fakely wonder-struck. ''You drew a fucking dick on it'' I now say loude, so a few people turn around and some of them even start giggling.. ''You know I need to work in a few weeks right? I can't go to work with a dick on my cast''. Joe finds it very funny, laughing out loud and even Gwil can't hold in his laugh

''We also got you these. Thought it might cheer you up''' Gwil says as he gives me the balloons. ''Thank you so much guys, you really shouldn't have'', I say while giving them both a kiss on the cheek. ''Let's go. I'm hungry'', I say and they both agree. ''Starvation.. Oh starvation'' He says like he's quoting Shakespeare. And then continues ''IS UPON US ALL'' in a really dark tone. I can't help but burst into laughter. Goofball. As I'm walking in between the two of them, making my way outside, I stick my arm though theirs, walking arm in arm. ''you guys are the best, you know that right''. ''Oh. WE KNOW'' Joe says as he winks at me.

As we step outside I decide I first want to smoke a cigarette. I need it. ''Sorry'' I say apologizing to Gwil. He's not a fan of smoking, but I've been down to like 3 or 4 cigarettes a day so I'm really proud of myself. ''Okay well in that case I'm going to leak the lizard first'' and he's walks away. I'm making some small talk with Joe while Gwil's gone, when suddenly he says ''I thought Rami wasn't supposed to be here''. ''Well to be honest I know nothing, I think Gwil made that call, why?''.. He then points to the counter, where Rami is talking to a nurse. I see the nurse pointing towards us. When he turns around I see he's holding the biggest bouquet of flowers. I know I should still be mad but.. Him coming here, even though a man of nearly 6,5 feet tall told him not to, is just sweet. He comes walking in fast steps towards me and before I can even say a word he gives me a big hug. Not letting me go for another few seconds. ''Amy I'm so sorry – how are you? What did they say?'' I show him my arm. ''well there's a fracture in one of my knuckles, a hair fracture in one of the bones of the palm of the hand ... and I broke my wrist''. His gaze now turning very seriously and sad now. ''Please remind me to never pick a fight with this one'' Joe says while holding his hands before his chest, giving a signal that he's not looking for any problems.

''I don't know anything about that but – Joe told me you shouldn't supposed to be here?'' I ask him. I know Gwil told him this, since I overheard him saying it, but he clearly doesn't care. ''If he wants to kick my ass he can, he's not restraining me from you. I needed to see how you were doing and he's not going to stop me''. At that moment I see Gwil coming around the corner. When he sees Rami his eyes spit fire and his steps get larger. He walks up to Rami in a fast tempo ''I thought I made myself pretty clear didn't I?'', coming dangerously close to him. He kind of bows over him since he's well over half a foot taller than Rami. ''The only one who can tell me to stay clear is Amy'' he responds – both not planning on backing down. Joe and I roll our eyes at each other. ''Come on macho men, put your dicks in already'' Joe laughs. ''I have to agree you guys. There's no need in fighting''. They don't listen to me and still stand still facing each other as if their lives depend on it. Sigh. "As you all may know. I haven't eaten for TWO WHOLE HOURS''.. No response. ''So Joe and I will NOW go to McDonalds, before I die of starvation. Suit yourselves if you're coming or not'' and I put my arm in Joe's, together walking towards McDonald's. Rami and Gwil following us after a few seconds.

As we walk into McDonalds. I order myself A large menu and 2 burgers with it, being the food-addict I am. When I finished my meal, Joe's looking at me with his jaw dropped. ''Jezus Christ woman – Where do you leave it all? I can't even finish ONE large menu.'' ''Can I have it then?''. Everyone starts laughing but I'm dead serious ''What? I'm still hungry.. You guys are just pussies''. When I'm finally done I unbutton my jeans, bloating my belly. ''O my God. I can't anymore. Both Gwil and Joe lean over the table to take a look and they immediately were shook. ''This is so not normal, but I need to find me a woman like you. I dated this girl once who barely ate when she was with me. You just shove a meal for 3 man in, at once'' Joe says flabbergasted. In the corner of my eye I can see Rami's hand coming closer and the moment he touches me, an electric shock immediately races through my entire body. ''When are you due?''. ''Never'' I laugh. I look at him and for a moment our eyes lock, just staring at each other. His look so sincere and sweet. ''Get a room already you guys'' Joe says rolling his eyes. ''I don't want to interfere but. I really do think you guys need to talk things over guys. You clearly love each other. Pride comes before the fall''. I look at Joe with astonishment, ''how'd you get so grown up'' I ask him. He sips his Coca-Cola ''well, in case you forgot: I AM the dad of the group, aren't I?''. That's so true. How does he even know that?

''Let's go guys. I just want to lay on the couch to digest my food baby''. Gwil and Joe leave the booth first before Rami and I get out. Gwil and Joe walk up to Gwil's car. ''You guys mind if I ride with Rami? I think Joe had a legit point''. I confess ''I'll call you tonight I promise''. I give him a kiss on his cheek. ''Don't worry, if you hadn't noticed by now I'm perfectly capable of defending myself'' I laugh while showing him my casted arm. ''You better be the king of gentlemen to her or I'll find you'' he says to Rami, giving him a hug. I hug Joe, separating our ways.

As Rami and I make our way to his car, a few blocks down, we both don't say a word. Until he stops in his tracks suddenly, grabbing my hands ''thank you. For coming with me. I've missed you so much Amy and I want to make things right''. He brushes a stroke of my hair behind my ear, holding my jaw when coming close. He gaze locked in mine. ''Can I please –'' before he even finished his sentence I press my lips on his. His mouth opens a bit so I pull back. ''Not in the middle of the street, where paparazzi can see us''. He looks at me seriously, ''do you really think I care about that? Anyone who wants to watch, may know I love you'' he says and plants a small kiss on my forehead. ''Let's go home''. He wraps his arm around my waist and we walk towards the sunset, for a moment forgetting everything that has happened in the last two days. This man sets my soul on fire and I know they say you only fall in love once with someone.. But with him? I fall in love everytime I lay my eyes on him.

''Here we are'' he says while holding open his apartment door for me. If he asks me if I want something to drink, I think about me gaining confidence when I drink alcohol, so I decide to ask for a glass of wine. As he's pouring the glasses, my eyes fall on his bedroom. His bed is a made and next to it, on his night cabine, I see a photo frame. I walk over to take a closer look and to my amazement it has a picture of us two in it.

''You remember this?'' I ask him. It puts a huge smile on my face. He doesn't even look at me to know what I'm talking about. ''Yea, 3 months ago at my parents place, at their holiday home in Florida''. We're on the beach, in the distance. Me in his arms while he lifts me up, me reaching upwards in an attempt to kiss him. ''this honestly was one of the best moments of my life'' and I'm not lying. ''It was certainly one of the best moments, yes.'' He says. ''Not your best?''.. ''No'' he says. ''Then what is your best?'' I ask. He comes walking towards me with both the glasses of wine in his hands. He sits down besides me, handing me one glass he says ''the very moment I first laid eyes on you''. Normally people would, without a doubt, think it's a cheesy way to make up for his actions, kissing my but. But I know it's not. He's sincere.

As soon as he sees me blushing, he leans over my lap to put down the glasses on the night cabin and with that a whiff of his cologne reaches my nose. God, he's wearing my favorite. He bites his lower lip as our eyes lock. I scoot over an inch closer to him, our legs touch. His gaze never leaving mine. Before I know it his lips touch mine. Gentle at first but when he opens his mouth, as an invitation to make it more passionate, I gladly make use of it.

''We really shouldn't be doing this'' he whispers against my lips. ''I know'' I reply. It both doesn't stop us from doing it anyway. I decide to stand up and take place on the bed properly, tapping next to me as an invitation for him to come lay next to me. We make out a little more. We both want more but before it gets to that, he gets up and walks to the bathroom. I can hear him turning on the bath and rumble a little. When, after a while, he comes out to the bedroom again he's only wearing his boxers. I don't know why but, this man in only boxers, bare chest, bear feet.. It's such a turn-on.

''Come'' he says as he reaches out his hand for me to grab it. He takes me to the bathroom and when I enter it, it's all dark and there are all candles burning. I get undressed and get in the tub. When he takes of his underwear, it makes me blush once again. ''you have seen me naked lots of times'' he says with rolling his eyes with a smile on his face. ''well yeah but that doesn't mean it still can't make my blush''. He acrobatically gets in behind me, holding both glasses at the same time. I take one from him and when he finally sits down properly I lay down too, my head in between his neck and collarbone. We just sit here in silence, enjoying each others company. When I throw my head back and pout my lips to him, he plants a kiss on my lips. And another one. And another one. Until things get passionate again. Before I can even say anything he says ''No, I didn't bring my flashlight but it doesn't mean I can't poke you with it.'' God his smile is so beautiful.

His eyes turning darker with lust. When I'm about to turn around to face him I can see his phone light up, next to the tub. When I look at it, I see it's Lucy.

Let It B

Ah, the B-movie. It had been a source of entertainment for many a stood-up date or theater talk-back participant about as long as the genre has existed. But what IS a B-movie? We've all seen 'em ( and know almost instantly when we have), but what makes a film "B"? What does a movie need in order to be "B"? And what of the iconic B actor? Who chooses to have a career that, in its basest form, means 'sub-par'? B-ACK STORY B-movies (the term) first came about during Hollywood's Golden Age. The name was for movies meant for distribution as the less-publicized, bottom-half of a double feature. In the later '20's (27-28), during the final days of the silent era, the production cost of feature films from major studios averaged between $190'000 to $275'000. During the time when bigger budgeted films weren't being made, studios still had to pay for sound stages, actors they had on retainer, and hired crew. These studios would make low-budget (i.e. lower quality) flicks in order to make extra cash as well as continue to use their people (mostly to keep them from fleeing to other studios), and would sell these lower films alongside their major productions. In laymens' terms, a B-movie is much like the B-side of an album. (For my youngun's, albums are what music USED to come on. Questions at the bottom, please.) Basically these smaller, cheaper flicks got put into theaters to cover run times between bigger pictures. This then led to micro-budgeted studios creating their own B-movies to sell to the studios at cost (usually producing them at around $30'000 and recouping cost plus). All of this comes about, again, due to the end of the silent era. During that time films were preceded by live acts and a variety of short films and news reels. Once sound became law, those were mostly dropped, and in came cartoons and serials, which were followed by a double feature, the first being the B-film, mainly to draw more money from the viewer. But the major studios soon caught on, developing B-units to produce those less expensive films on-site, nearly killing the indie studios (until the indie-wave of the 70's, but that's another blog). With this came the game of BLOCK BOOKING; or, to get access to a studios' more profitable features, theaters would HAVE to also buy their B-movie in a double-feature set. Along with this insidious scheme came BLIND BOOKING, where theaters would have to take the B-movie sight-unseen. In this way studios were assured a good profit on the lower-grade flick, no matter how awful it might be. The innocent years of Hollywood folks! However, many B-movies were serials, with an actor continuing to play the same character in each, such as the 'Andy Hardy' films staring Mickey Rooney. MOVING ON While the original meaning of the term B-movie ended with the double-feature production ceasing in the 50's, the term is still used for films that don't quite meet A-level criteria. "B-movie" now brings connotations of lower-quality films - which isn't ALWAYS true... To quote Wiki: "In it's current usage, the term has somewhat contradictory connotations; it may signal an opinion that a certain movie is (a) a genre film with minimal artistic ambitions ("Sharknado"), or (b) a lively, energetic film uninhibited by the constraints imposed on more expensive projects and unburdened by the conventions of putatively 'serious' independent film ("Turbo Kid"). Or, in more basic terms: A B-movie is a low-budget commercial film that's NOT art house. The term is now also used for high-budgeted flicks with exploitation-style content (such as much of Tarantino's work). But much good has come from the B-movie genre! Some high profile directors like Jonathan Demme began with B-movies. And it's where many A-level actors got their starts. Recent Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio got his start in "Critters 3". "June Bug" star Amy Adams got through in "Cruel Intentions 2". And Charlize Theron didn't even have a line in "Children of the Corn 3 : Urban Harvest". And one of the more well known is Jennifer Aniston's turn in the cult classic (and where's my blog on those?) "Leprechaun". And neat-o, there's my segway! BACTORS Both John Wayne and Jack Nicholsen got their start in B-movies, too. As well as our former president Ronald Reagan, who was a B-movie star before he ran our country. But there are MANY actors who are known simply for their B-movie work alone. Here's a list of them (in no order other than as I remember them). PJ SOLES: I know her from the 1979 "Rock 'n' Roll Highschool", about a young girl who idolized one of the world's greatest bands, the Ramones; but she also played the tomboy menace Norma in "Carrie", and doomed-to-die friend Lynda in "Halloween". CRISPIN GLOVER: He became a Hollywood staple, and Lorraine's 'density' in "Back to the Future" as George McFly, and recently was the Red Knave in Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland", but Glover got his start way back in 81 in a TV movie called "Best of Times", and as the star of the cult hit "Willard". MEG FOSTER: She was a woman looking for love - round 2 - in "The Step Father 2", and played 'Holly' in "They Live" alongside Rowdy Piper, but is most recognized portraying Evil-Lyn in the live-action He-Man movie, "Masters of the Universe". CLINT HOWARD: The brother of director Ron Howard, Clint began as a child actor, but has continued with films like "The Ice-Scream Man", "The Fun House Massacre", and "Nobody Gets Out Alive". TOM SAVINI: Tom was originally a SFX creator for "Friday the 13th", but he's also had quite the acting career in films like "Creep Show 2", "From Dusk 'till Dawn", and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower". BRAD DOURIF: He's now a part of the "Lord of the Rings" legacy since playing Wormtongue in "The Two Towers", but he's always been well known by voice, if not face, as Chuckey in every single "Child's Play" film in the franchise. He also stared alongside Jack Nicholsen in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". MICHAEL IRONSIDE: Most recently he portrayed the zealot Zeus in the fantastic "Turbo Kid", but Ironside's been working since the 70's, including "Scanners", "The Hitchhiker", and a personal favorite, the TV show "Sea Quest". CHRISTOPHER LAMBERT: The one and only true 'Highlander', Lambert's also known for playing Lord Rayden in the live-action version of "Mortal Kombat". CLANCY BROWN: I first spotted him in "Highlander" as well, playing psychopath Victor Kruger, but Brown's gone on to have a formidable career on-screen as well as with voice work, playing Lex Luthor in the animated "Superman" series. But I also knew him as Drew's step-dad Gus from "Pet Semetary 2". BRUCE CAMPBELL: Probably the most recognized B-movie actor of all time, Campbell started in the "Evil Dead" series, and has continued being our hero in shows like "Burn Notice" and "Ash VS. the Evil Dead". This might be where I'd say "All hail the king, baby!", but you get what I'm saying. Moving on. BUT THEY'RE A TO US 'We all have different opinions' blah-blah, 'they're like assholes' yadda-yadda. But there have been B-movies that have, through that grand test of time, been elevated to A-level status by their fans. Usually they're referred to as 'Cult Classics', but we all know we'd watch them in leu of some of the newer, block-busting behemoths of today, given the choice. Maybe it's because of previously stated stars, maybe it's the special effects, or maybe they're just so off the beaten path that we just can't help but fall in love with their weirdness. So here are some of the best - no real order, and nowhere close to the total list. THE EVIL DEAD SERIES There's lots of arguments over whether the original film "Evil Dead" should be included, but Sam Rami's occult trilogy is deeply beloved. From the supreme low-budget gore to Bruce Campbell's chin, this series holds one of the highest Rotten Tomatoes scores on the site, even beating out it's recent remake. Eat it, Dead-its! IRON SKY What IS it with Nazi's?? Why do we like watching them die so damn much? Think it was the genocide? Pretty sure it was the genocide. What-ever, this film's premise is enough. Nazi's waiting on the dark side of the moon to launch a final attack on Earth. Wow. I'm pretty certain I know THAT'S how the funding came through. DEATH BED: THE BED THAT EATS I don't know a film fan that hasn't seen this movie. Its premise is its title. It's a bed. It eats people. SHARKNADO There's FOUR of these fucking movies. No wait, FIVE. I don't get it, but it hit a large enough portion of viewers. Welcome back, Tara Reid. THE BLOB Classic (in general and actual terms) B-movie fare. A gigantic blob that consumes everything in its way. First appearing in the 50's with a young Steve McQueen, it got remade in the 80's and is supposedly being remade again. ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES So, mutant tomatoes decide to start eating us. Vegetarians in the 70's were shaking in their faux suede shoes, I'm sure. BASKET CASE Oh man, do I love this one. A man is born with a homicidal deformed Siamese twin that gets detached via surgery, so the two brothers decide to go after those that separated them. And the deformed one gets carried around in a basket. GET IT?!?! POULTRYGEIST:NIGHT OF THE CHICKEN DEAD Full disclosure - I know one of the SFX guys who worked on this Troma feature. Just look for the talking shit sandwich. BEASTMASTER A guy who can talk to animals goes after a power hungry war lord who sacrifices children. And man-bats. TROLL 2 The best- worst movie ever made. But sadly, no trolls. Just goblins. Please go check some of these films out. PLEASE. You're just hating yourself if you don't. So B-movies live on, as they should. Because we all need to be reminded of what a mediocre world we really live in.
