Chapitre 111: Jacob's present

Say you won't let go - by James Arthur.

---

The scene came to a close, and the cast members gathered to review the footage. After shooting several takes, they finally captured one that pleased both the actors and the director, marking the end of filming at the restaurant.

Despite the progress, the day was still young. With the upcoming scene of Jacob and Anna saying goodbye to her parents set for a nighttime backdrop, and plenty of daylight remaining, the production team decided to move ahead. They filmed a more intimate scene between Jacob and Anna in bed, efficiently using their time.

***

In a cozy apartment, the next scene unfolded with the film crew, including Drake, Jennifer, Charlie, and other key members, attentively watching. The scene portrayed a tender moment between Jacob and Anna in her small apartment. Jacob was about to give Anna a heartfelt surprise, a memory to cherish before her departure to the UK.

"Close your eyes," Jacob instructed Anna, who playfully questioned, "Why?"

"Just trust me," Jacob gently insisted. With a soft chuckle, Anna obliged, closing her eyes.

Jacob covered her eyes with his hand and whispered, "Count to 60."

Giggling, Anna began, "Fifty-eight Mississippi, fifty-seven Mississippi, fifty-six Mississippi..."

As she counted, Jacob retrieved his guitar, positioning himself on a chair in front of her. When Anna reached the end of her count and opened her eyes, she was greeted by the sight of Jacob, guitar in hand, ready to surprise her.

"Where's my surprise?" Anna asked, a hint of laughter in her voice.

Jacob simply smiled and began to strum the guitar, the melody unfolding into "Say You Won't Let Go," a song that held special meaning for Lucas, and he chose the song because it fits the situation the couple was about to go through.

As Anna prepared for her journey to the UK, this moment underscored the beginning of their long-distance relationship, the song leaving a lasting memory in her heart.

Anna's reaction was one of sheer astonishment, her eyes widening as she recognized the melody. It was the song Jacob had been crafting just for her.

Lucas, in the role of Jacob, began to sing, his voice beautifully blending with the guitar's melody.

"I met you in the dark, you lit me up,

You made me feel as though I was enough,"

His voice carried the lyrics with an emotion that resonated deeply, reflecting moments they had shared:

"We danced the night away, we drank too much,

I held your hair back when,

You were throwing up, 🎵🎶"

Anna's gaze softened, fixated on Jacob. Memories flooded back of the time they spent sipping whiskey together, the previous day's filming that captured them dancing, and those intimate snapshots of moments shared over drinks.

"Then you smiled over your shoulder.

For a minute, I was stone-cold sober. I pulled you closer to my chest. And you asked me to stay over. I said, "I already told ya. I think that you should get some rest", 🎵🎶"

Drake and the other cast members, including Charlie, were visibly impressed. They speculated that once the film was complete, the standout moments would likely include the scenes of Jacob performing Lucas's original song.

"I knew I loved you then. But you'd never know.

'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go. I know I needed you.

But I never showed. But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old. Just say you won't let go.

Just say you won't let go, 🎵🎶"

Jennifer watched Lucas intently, her gaze filled with a hint of longing. She recalled their time spent together in a café, where she had helped him delve deeper into his role. Since then, their interactions had dwindled, leaving Jennifer with an unspoken yearning. Unbeknownst to her, her eyes betrayed her feelings, a longing clear for anyone to see. However, in that moment, everyone's attention was captivated by Lucas's performance, the lyrics of his song filling the room and holding them spellbound.

"I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed. I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head.

And I'll take the kids to school. Wave them goodbye. And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night, 🎵🎶"

The lyrics poignantly express Jacob's dreams of a future together with Anna, surrounded by their children.

Felicity, in her portrayal of Anna, couldn't hide a bittersweet smile. Deep down, she understood that despite their deep connection, Jacob and Anna were not destined to end up together.

"When you looked over your shoulder. For a minute, I forget that I'm older. I wanna dance with you right now. Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever. And I swear that everyday you'll get better. You make me feel this way somehow, 🎵🎶"

Jacob's gaze met Anna's with an intensity that was both profound and passionate, their eyes locked in a moment of deep connection.

"I'm so in love with you. And I hope you know. Darling, your love is more than worth its weight in gold. We've come so far, my dear. Look how we've grown.

And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old.

Just say you won't let go

Just say you won't let go, 🎵🎶"

As Jacob continued to sing, pouring emotion into every note, Felicity Jones, embodying Anna, was caught up in the moment. A single tear, born from the song's raw emotional power, escaped her control, tracing a path down her right cheek.

Under Drake's direction, the camera operators skillfully captured this poignant moment, zooming in to frame the raw emotion on Anna's face.

"I wanna live with you

Even when we're ghosts

'Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most, 🎵🎶" Jacob's eyes were on Anna's tears, he momentarily stopped playing the guitar and wiped the tears that gradually rolled down Anna's cheeks.

"I'm gonna love you 'til, My lungs give out,

I promise 'til death we part like in our vows

So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows, That it's just you and me 'til we're grey and old, Just say you won't let go

Just say you won't let go, 🎵🎶" And as Jacob caught sight of Anna's smile, he couldn't resist singing on, 'Just say you won't let go, oh, just say you won't let go.'"

Meanwhile, Jacob played on, his guitar strumming accompanying his tender gaze towards Anna, marked by a small, heartfelt smile.

Chapitre 112: Intense and Hot scenes

As the final notes of Lucas's song, performed with the soulful depth of Jacob, faded into silence, Jacob turned to gaze deeply into Felicity's eyes, who was embodying Anna with every fiber of her being.

In a moment charged with unscripted emotion, Anna's words tumbled out with a fervent intensity. "I am so in love with you..." she confessed, her voice echoing in the stillness, as she reached for Jacob, who was still cradling his guitar. Jacob responded with a soft, affectionate laugh, the sound a gentle caress in the charged atmosphere.

"Hey, it seems you couldn't resist my charm any longer, huh?" Jacob teased, his laughter mingling with the warmth in his eyes.

"You're right, I couldn't resist your charm any longer, especially after that incredible song..." Anna replied, her chuckle rich with genuine affection. The scene unfolding between them was entirely unscripted, a spontaneous burst of genuine emotion that transcended the boundaries of their performance.

Then, under the attentive gaze of Director Drake, the crew, and their fellow cast members, Felicity, as Anna, pressed her lips to Lucas's in a kiss that was both tender and bold.

Lucas, embodying Jacob, found himself momentarily overwhelmed, the guitar slipping from his grasp to land with a soft thud on the ground. The sound momentarily drew their attention away from the intensity of their kiss, but only for a brief moment before they were drawn back into their shared connection, with Anna leading the way with renewed passion.

Lucas and Felicity were so lost in their roles, so immersed in the reality of their characters' emotions, that they seemed oblivious to the crew and cast members who watched on, a mix of emotions playing across their faces, most prominently a collective blush at the intimacy they were witnessing.

Jennifer, witnessing the scene, found herself unable to contain her emotions, her hands balling into fists as she watched the scene unfold before her. The complexity of the emotions on set, the intertwining of fiction and reality, created a moment that was palpably real and intensely memorable for everyone involved.

She found herself tangled in a whirlwind of thoughts, pondering, "Could that have been Lucas's first kiss? And with Felicity of all people..." As these musings danced through her mind, she was barely able to restrain herself from rushing over to pull the two apart.

Meanwhile, Lucas was taken aback by Felicity's bold move, her tongue seeking entrance. Despite his surprise, he couldn't help but wonder, "Is this really necessary? I'm pretty sure this wasn't in the script for the kissing scene."

Yet, even as he questioned it, there was something endearingly earnest about Felicity's approach that Lucas found quite charming.

Feeling the insistent press of Felicity's tongue, Lucas found himself capitulating, allowing her the exploration she sought. It seemed impossible to deny her this intimate curiosity.

As the kiss stretched on for what seemed like an eternity to the onlookers, Drake and the rest of the crew began to sense that something had veered off script. Finally, with a sense of urgency, Drake called out, "Cut!"

Lucas and Felicity parted, much to Felicity's chagrin. She had been just on the cusp of delving deeper into the moment, exploring Lucas more fully, but the abrupt end left her hanging, a tinge of dissatisfaction lingering.

On the sidelines, Charlie, having witnessed the charged scene, couldn't hide his envy. Imagining himself in Lucas's place, he fantasized about a more passionate engagement with Felicity.

Jennifer, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief at the interruption, glad to see the intense scene come to an end.

"Alright, that scene was far more intense than we initially envisioned, but I believe it adds an unexpected depth and texture to the portrayal of our lovers' bond in this film," Drake commented, a chuckle escaping him. He was pleasantly surprised to see the film's direction evolving in ways far surpassing his original expectations.

As the moment passed, the crew and cast gathered to deliberate on the upcoming scenes, the air buzzing with the aftermath of an unexpectedly fervent display of on-screen chemistry.

The subsequent scene was set to depict Lucas and Felicity in a state of partial undress, symbolizing the aftermath of Jacob and Anna's intimate conversation that culminated in physical closeness. The setup involved the pair being modestly covered by a blanket, with strategically placed openings allowing the camera to capture their interactions without compromising their privacy.

Given the delicate nature of this scene, only essential crew members and actors required for these specific moments remained on set, ensuring a respectful and professional environment for filming. This left Jennifer, Charlie, and a select few others in attendance, while the rest of the team discreetly exited the stage.

Lucas and Felicity prepared for the scene by removing their upper garments, leaving them in minimal clothing to suggest the intimacy of the moment. Charlie watched intently, his gaze lingering on Felicity as she covered herself, and then both actors positioned themselves under the blanket on the bed, ready for the scene to unfold.

With Drake's direction, the scene began, focusing initially on the tender, intimate contact of their feet beneath the blanket.

"What are we going to do after we graduate?" Lucas, embodying Jacob, inquired, his face captured by the camera in a close-up shot.

"We'll sort something out..." Felicity, as Anna, replied softly, her voice barely above a whisper. The camera shifted to her face as she continued, "Don't think about it now," her hand gently caressing Jacob's face and cheeks.

Anna's hand continued its tender exploration, brushing against Jacob's face, chest, and eventually his lips, adding a layer of intimacy to their conversation.

"It seems you're not satisfied with our previous rounds, huh?" Jacob teased, a chuckle escaping him as he felt Anna's touch grow more insistent.

Anna responded with a soft laugh, her hand wandering to his chest.

Caught up in the authenticity of their roles, Lucas, as Jacob, instinctively wrapped an arm around Anna's waist and ventured to touch her chest, prompting a surprised reaction from the crew.

Drake, monitoring the scene through the camera, braced for Felicity's response, half-expecting a rebuke. However, Felicity, fully immersed in her role as Anna, reciprocated with a playful squeeze and exploration of Lucas's chest, a mirror to his actions. This unexpected exchange, rooted in their deep engagement with their characters, added an unscripted depth to the scene, blurring the lines between performance and genuine connection.
