Shaolin Studios Tina’s Office
Tina (holding the phone to her ear and looking at papers): Well I’m not taking the DP no, I have someone who could do the shots. And at a much lower price then originally budgeted. Right I cleared this with the graphics department and they said it was fine. Sure um (flipping through the pile of papers) right here, we leave next Wednesday out of LAX, fly to New York we’re there for three days then off to London. Right. (Listening) sure I can send her up before we get there. You want her Monday morning. You do know who her girlfriend is (laughing) sure. I’ll tell her. Email me the details and the itinerary. I’ll call you later. (Turning as there was a knock on the door and Helena came in.) Hey, got good news and bad news.

Helena (setting a binder down): What’s the bad news?

Tina (looking at her): Dylan has to go to New York on Monday to meet with Flat Earth and give them the information for the shooting at Alnwick.

Helena (rubbing her face): And the good news?

Tina (sitting on the edge of the desk): They have no problem with Bette playing DP, in fact as we both know she’s a legend in certain circles (not getting anything out of Helena) Hels I’m sorry. We’ve re-worked the budget so many times and Hels (reaching for her.)

Helena (taking her hand; kissing the back of it): It’s fine I was just thinking mummy is going to have her hands full.

Tina (pulling her close): You’re right and she’s going to have a ball. Dylan will be run ragged.

Helena (nodding; she could smell Tina’s perfume, feel her heat and as sensitive as she was down there, she was turned on): And then when we get back Winnie’s bringing the kids here for a couple of weeks (pulling Tina into her body and wrapping her arms around her.)

Tina (relaxing into Helena’s warmth): Hels (inhaling the sweet spicy scent that was all Helena, her body heat singeing her senses, her strength pulling her body tighter.) We can’t, not here….

Helena (shaking her head): I want to be close to you….
