Chapter 17

Everyone on set broke out in laughter. Except Victoria, who stood still as if the pillow had turned her into a statue. Did that just happen? The crew probably expected her to fly into a diva rampage. Russ was immune to her outbursts so it took all the fun out of it but she couldn’t let him get away with it. The only other option was to fight fire with fire, or rather pillow with pillow. She grabbed the matching three-foot bolster cushion she made earlier. This would make for really great TV. “Come back here you coward.”

Victoria ran after him through the hallway and out the front door, the cameraman right behind her. Russ stopped on the lawn and turned to face her with his hands up in mock surrender. At some point he must have flung his pillow away. Foolish man.

“Where did you get that?” He pointed to her fluffy weapon.

“I made it.” They were now dancing like two boxers in a ring.

“Nice work.”

“Flattery will not save you.”

“I’m not armed.”

“Neither was I.” She faked a move to the right and pulled back, grinning widely when he fell for it, and then lunged to the left. Victoria got in two solid body hits before Russ was able to wrestle it away from her. Now it was her turn to run.

“Cut! That was epic,” yelled the director, saving Victoria from any retaliation.

“I owe you one.” Russ pointed to Victoria with the bolster pillow.

Hmmm, quite the phallic image. She held back a grin. The crew was supposed to think they hated each. “Stop being a child.” She made a show of primping her hair.

“No, no, no. I sewed. You build something out of wood.”

“I don’t play with wood.”

The crew burst out into hysterics and Victoria realized what she had said. She turned around and stared them down. The set quickly went silent. Russ may not be scared of her but at least the crew still feared her. With only two days to shoot a show it didn’t leave much time for fun and it fell to her to keep them on track. She looked at their now serious faces. She felt bad. What she had said was funny; hell, they probably thought that’s why she’s so bitchy. A bubble of laughter rose within her and she let it out. At first the crew was stunned, which made her laugh harder, and then they joined in.

Victoria looked back to Russ who was smiling and winked knowingly at her.
