Tamara’s POV.
‘Hey Alex, I didn’t wake you did I?’ I say as she opens her door at 10am on Saturday morning.
‘Oh no I’ve been up since 8am, had a swim and breakfast before I came back here for a long bath, come in sweetie’ she says to me. Just like her sister she’s a really kind girl, of course being AJ’s friend back in college I got to know Alex back then, she’s great.
‘I tried to call AJ to see if she wanted to come shoot a few hoops but I didn’t get a reply, so I thought I’d come and pester you instead!’ I reply with a little giggle, sitting myself down in the armchair in the corner of her room while she sits cross legged at the end of her bed.
‘Ahhhh, that’s because she and Went will probably be...................occupied shall we say’ Alex says to me firstly.
‘And sure I could do with some company, you pester me all you like’ she then adds whilst jamming cotton wool between her toes and getting ready to paint them with the deep purple polish she has in her hand.
‘Oh right I see! I did wonder when she didn’t answer, lucky girl huh?’ I reply as Alex nods.
‘Yep, she has a man who’s libido rages either first thing in the morning or last thing at night, and who doesn’t stop until he’s made her come at least three times apparently. I would say shall we hate her now or later but I think I started about four months ago when they first discovered the joys of boning each other for hours on end’ Alex replies, making me laugh loudly.
‘Well at least you don’t have to listen to it anymore, she told me you shared an apartment back in Chicago’ I say as she offers me a cigarette.
‘Yeah she’s sharing a place with him once the production company sort it all out, I’m sharing with Pam, and you and Katy I believe too, they said something about cutting costs and getting people to share houses since they have cheaper lease rates than apartments’ she says as I nod, hearing that I’d be sharing a place with three women from the crew near enough upon my arrival. They’ve said it should be sorted by next Wednesday. And so we sit and chat about sharing a house together and the fun we’ll no doubt have before deciding to go and relax out in the hotel grounds, finding two people sat by the pool we didn’t expect to see for the rest of the morning really.
‘Hey ladies’ AJ says after sipping her orange juice, sitting next to her boyfriend who smiles and waves hello before looking back at what she’s showing him in the paper. That’s the first thing I notice about their relationship today, how they both aren’t rude to other people, but how each other’s words or thoughts are priority to one another. It’s such a nice thing to witness, and the level of affection between them transmitted on such a discreet level. They’re never blatantly all over each other in public, and often will show affectionate gestures by something as AJ standing behind him and resting her head against his back, or him reaching out and gently running his fingers in a circle around her inner wrist when he stands next to her sometimes. It’s a lovely thing to watch, how into each other they are, and if I can see how much they adore each other after just twenty four hours, well it really must be the real thing for my friend.
‘You look so happy’ I whisper in her ear as Went goes off to fetch more drinks, kissing her cheek and watching her smile brightly at me.
‘I feel so happy too’ she replies, her smile bright and full of cheer. Already I feel a little inferior in the happiness stakes to her, but over the course of the morning as we chill out and catch up with each other I find that even though we started at the same time in the same place, our lives are poles apart. Which hers ending up at a considerably better place than mine I feel. Perfect boyfriend, and perfect career too it would seem.
‘So what was she like then? You hear so much about her being a diva that you just don’t know what to assume’ I say to AJ as we sit and discuss Jennifer Lopez, who’s makeup she did for a music video a few years ago.
‘She’s very hard working, and likes everything to be how she requires it, but I have to state all those things you hear about her demands, well if she demands chocolate, water and lilies it’s from her own pocket. She doesn’t actually expect it at extra cost like a lot of people think. And as for her, she’s genuinely a very nice woman. And that shocks a lot of people to hear, and the fact that when the shoot was forced to break because of heavy rain she called me and few of the stylists into her trailer and we sat eating popcorn and watching The Seven Year Itch with her. She’s a huge Marilyn fan and when I showed her my portrait tattoos of her and Grace Kelly she was amazed, and even took pictures to show her girlfriends! She’s so unlike how people paint her to be and I won’t hear a word against her’ she explains as I nod. ‘So who would you say the most interesting, or at least different to how you pictured them person you’ve worked with so far is?’ she then asks me, picking her glass of iced sparkling water up and having a few sips.
‘Well, I haven’t been as fortunate as you it would seem. As you know I worked on the crew of Friends as a junior as soon as I left college and got a few jobs under my belt, and to be honest I consider that my only big break. The rest of the stuff I’ve done is mostly for commercials or of course my in store job for Estee Lauder I did before I applied for this’ I reply to her a little sadly.
‘Landing Friends was huge for you, don’t put yourself down! And don’t compare your work to mine, just because I flit like a butterfly from job to job doesn’t mean you have to as well!’ she replies, rubbing my arm affectionately.
‘But I do though, and I can’t help but compare my life to yours, how we both started in exactly the same box, yet you broke out of yours and spread your wings. I wish I’d have done that, you’ve achieved so much more for yourself because of it’ I tell her honestly. And then, her being her, she had the perfect answer to my statement. Hell, she has the perfect answer for everything. I wish I was as intelligent and successful as she is.
AJ’s POV.
‘Tam it’s not too late you know, but anyway look at where you are now? Are you stuck on the same set you have been for years? Nope, and so what if you stayed in one job because you liked it? The fact that you found roots and stayed in one place doesn’t mean you’re any less successful than me sweetie’ I tell her.
‘Yeah, I guess so when you put it like that’ she says, cheering up a little. I really don’t like the idea that she’s comparing herself with me since we’ve had very different lives. She found contentment working on one job for a very long time whereas I found happiness in travelling and doing job after job, not settling in one place for too long apart from the odds and sods of TV work I’ve done (like the time I worked on Sex and the City). But that’s just me, and it doesn’t mean I’m better at my job than she is, I’d hate for her to draw that conclusion because she’s a very talented girl. But throughout the course of the day I can’t help but notice it seems she compares what I have to what she has in more ways than just work too.
‘I’ll try not to wake you when I get back, and no I have no idea what time that’ll be either but I’ll send you a text to let you know if you like? Went says to me as we stand outside Pam’s room hugging and kissing. He’s off out with the boys tonight, mainly so they can all catch up together properly but also to participate in some male bonding with the new member of the cast William Fichtner, who plays FBI agent Alexander Mahone.
‘Yeah that’d be nice, I don’t think my girls are going to let me head off to bed until the wee hours anyway. Have fun and I’ll see you later’ I tell him, rubbing my nose against his and kissing him goodbye, trying to ignore Sarah and Pam teasing me by shouting ‘PUT HIM DOWN!’ from inside the room.
‘Miss you already’ he says to me, kissing me atop my head once our lip lock as broken and walking away in the direction of the elevator.
‘Did he just say he missed you already? Awwww damn honey that’s too cute!’ Tam says to me when I’ve shut the door.
‘He has his moments’ I reply shyly with a little shrug and a smile.
‘Especially at 6am huh sweetie?’ Pam says to me with a wink, making Katy nearly choke on her mouthful of wine as she snorts with laughter.
‘Those aren’t cute moments though, those are moments of a different nature entirely’ I reply as I sit down next to her, grabbing my drink off the table and settling back against the pillows on her bed while the other girls sit either at the end or on chairs to the side.
‘Ahhhh the six in the morning horny feeling, my Kurt used to get that. Now the only thing of his that’s usually up in the morning is his damn temper when he forgets where he put something the night before. Needless to say I’d prefer what you get, from the same man too if at all possible!’ she then says as she snorts with laughter and cackles her head off at my face, while I elbow her in the side.
‘Get used to it AJ, a good percentage of the female population of the US will all think the same as dear Pam here does’ Sarah says lightly, reminding me of something I’m already starting to become aware of since the first episode aired just four days ago. Four days and already he turns 60% more heads than he did before, four days and already his popularity and notoriety is on the rise. That’s the power of television for you I guess.
‘Yeah I know, I know. But they don’t get him naked and I do’ I say with a huge grin.
‘Show off!’ Alex and Tam chorus at me as they laugh.
‘Yeah well, I’m happy I can’t help it. He’s just...................I wouldn’t be without him’ I say, smiling and then hiding in Pam’s shoulder as all the girls present chorus ‘awwww’!
‘Okay enough talk of my boyfriend, change of subject’ I say.
‘Nah we just wanna hear about him, it’s the only reason we invite you’ says Pam as I roll my eyes. ‘I’m kidding and you know I am!’ she adds through her laughter.
‘Well I’d rather everyone stopped talking, movie’s about to start’ says Alex as she rushes back over to us and flings herself down on the bed by my feet, pretending to try and bite my toes before I move my feet quickly and settle down to watch the classic Elizabeth Taylor film ‘Cat on a hot tin roof’. And after that is done we settle into chatter about work and the people we work with, guiltily indulging in the latest on set gossip with each other as we drink wine (beer in Alex and Pam’s case), eat chocolate and just be clichéd girls. About halfway through the night I get a text from Went, and go over to the window to smoke a cigarette and read what he’s written me. He usually types essays when he’s a few beers in.
‘Hello gorgeous Alice, how ya doing? I’m.........a bit pissed as the British say, hah. And there’s a frightening looking sixty year old woman here who won’t leave me and Amaury alone, we’re scared come save us!!!! Hope your having a good time with the rest of The Coven, see you in a couple of hours because I’ll be hitting my limit soon xxxx’ I read before replying.
‘Tell granny to keep her hands to herself and keep on having a good time :) + yeah having fun with the girls, but missing my wonderful man xxx’ I text back, moving my feet up the windowsill while Tam sits opposite me, sweeping her long brown hair over her shoulder while she lights a cigarette.
‘Is that the boyfriend sending you texts?’ she asks me as she lights her cigarette.
‘Yeah, just telling me he’s drunk and he and Amaury have an unwanted desirer’ I say, laughing at the last part. I wish I was there to see that, it wouldn’t make me jealous at all, just hysterical at seeing my man looking so uncomfortable; which I bet he does.
‘I bet they have more than just one, but that man you have, well it’s obvious he’s only got eyes for you. There’s a woman staying in the hotel who looks like Beyonce Knowles and when she walked past our table earlier on every set of male eyes followed her except your boyfriends; he was too busy listening to you at the time’ Tam tells me with a smile as she looks out of the window over the hotel complex, the lights illuminating the pool a few floors below slightly catching her pretty freckled face.
‘I think he got his fill when I caught him staring at her ass for a few moments earlier that day’ I inform her, watching her throw her head back and laugh.
‘Thank god! I was starting to think you’d found the Holy Grail; a perfect man!’ she exclaims.
‘Oh he’s far from perfect. I could give you a whole list of bad habits and things he does that annoy me, just like he could for me too’ I reply.
‘Yeah, like you have any faults missy!’ she says affectionately.
‘Oh of course I do! I have plenty of bad habits’ I say, waving at Sarah as she approaches us and then pushes me along the windowsill to sit behind me, wrapping me in a hug and stealing one of my cigarettes as she does when she’s got comfy.
‘Ooooh are we talking about AJ and her bad habits? I can list a few here!’ she giggles, lighting up.
‘You don’t smoke!’ I yell at her.
‘I used to, and sometimes I have one when I’m a little tipsy, so now is that time. Now, AJ faults! She flicks her tongue bar off her teeth, she clicks her toes, she picks her teeth, she shouts too much, if you smudge your makeup she gets her panties in a knot at you, if you’re late she’ll tick you off for ages about it. Oh and she hardly ever answers her cell, I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed any of those things too’ Sarah laughs as I sit there, mock aghast but laughing still.
‘I’ll hold my hands up to that and so much more, damn if Went was here now he’d be adding a lot on top of the ones noticed by the lovely Sarah here’ I laugh as Tam just shakes her head. ‘Okay let’s reverse things here, things you do that piss me off. You read over peoples shoulders; you hum the same song over and over and get it stuck in everyone else’s head too, when you drink something with a straw you have to hoover up every last bit and make lots of noise while you’re doing it, erm, you in....’ is all I manage to say before-
‘I do not read over other peoples shoulders!’ she cuts me up with.
‘You couldn’t have timed that better; I was just about to note how you interrupt people all the time! Ouch don’t pinch me!’ I say, slapping her leg and squeaking and laughing when she pinches me again.
‘Now that is something your guy told me about you, that pinching your legs drives you insane’ she says, doing it a few more times and making me jump about and squeak further while Tam just laughs.
‘I’ll kill him for telling you that’ I say through my laughter. And I do just forty five minutes later, with him and Amaury arriving in our hotel room; rather drunk.
‘PAM! MY FANTASTIC PAM!’ Amaury announces with a huge grin, staggering around to where she’s sat on the bed and flopping down next to her, resting his head on her chest and grinning widely while the girls all go ‘Awwwwww!’ and laugh at him. He’s cute when he’s drunk, and he loves Pam to death; he calls her his second mom and she loves it.
‘You’re in trouble’ I say to Went, pretending to strangle him while he pulls a face at me.
‘I only just walked in the damn room Alice! How the fuck did I manage to get in trouble already?’ he says loudly.
‘You know I think that’s the only time he swears, when he’s drunk’ Alex comments before I have time to answer him.
‘For telling Sarah about my leg pinching phobia, and sis, he has other moments he chooses to curse too. Just not ones while you’re around’ I reply, smiling up at him and pulling him down to my level to kiss his cheek, and then scream when he starts repeatedly pinching my thighs. ‘STOP IT! ASSHOLE!’ I shout through my giggles. After he’s finished being evil to me we say goodnight and leave everyone to it, heading off two floors up to our own room, with me laughing all the way at the fact my boyfriend isn’t making the greatest amount of sense right now. It’s a rare comedy sight, seeing Wentworth drunk.
‘AJ?’ he says to me as I flick off the light and get comfortable lying behind him, my arm around his waist with his hand rested over mine.
‘Yes?’ I reply, getting comfortable against the pillow. I wait for his reply for a few seconds before sitting up slightly and peering over his shoulder to see his eyes closed. ‘Awwwww, night night handsome’ I then whisper, kissing his shoulder and gently stroking his head before lying back down behind him and cuddling against his warmth. And off to sleep I go, none the wiser that the other girls are all beginning to disperse back to their own rooms, leaving Pam to haul a drunken Amaury off her bed and onto the couch with Tam’s help.
Tamara’s POV.
After helping Pam with Amaury I head back to my own room, sighing when I shut the door and am greeted with nothing but silence. I can’t deny not having someone to go and curl up to like Sarah, AJ and Alex have (and Pam and Katy when they’re at home with their husbands) doesn’t bother me, because it really does. Why can’t I find a little happiness too? There they all are with their successful careers, nice homes and men that love them, and here’s me, still feeling like she hasn’t broken out of the box yet, single for three years and renting a crappy apartment in Minnesota. If I was a lesser woman I’d be burning with jealousy that, with AJ in particular, a woman almost a year younger than me has come so much further in her life, but instead all I feel is inferior. Especially since I haven’t yet let on that it was one of the positions filled by AJ and Alex I applied for in the first place back when crew were being hired for season one, but got
turned down for because of my lack of experience.
‘You’ve got to make it happen, you’re the master of your own destiny’ I tell myself as I lie down in bed. But right at this moment I can’t see there’s much I can do to make myself feel more positive about, well, being me really. And so I decide to sleep instead, trying to push all the negative thoughts I have about myself, and trying not to lie there and draw comparisons between me and my friend as I drift off.
