Paul and Josh: chapter 1 Paul Walker entered his apartment. It had been a totally boring day and he was glad it was over. He had about ten interviews for various magazines and newspapers today promoting his latest movie. Even though interviews were a big part of movie-stardom he hated them. Always...always...always the same damn questions: "how was it to work with...", "how did you prepare for your role..." , "did you do this..." , "Did you think that...". Really if `annoying was a boot, reporters would fit it. He was completely exhausted after this ordeal so he was happy with the idea of spending a nice quit evening at his place, probably watching a movie or listen to some music. Just as he was about to drop in the sofa and remain there for the rest of the evening...his phone rang. "Dammit!" Paul sighed as he walked to the phone. The call turned out to be from his manager. "Hey, what's up?" Paul asked. "Good evening...Sorry to bother you this late Paul but I need to run a few things by you that really can't wait." His manager answered. "Ok...what's new?" Paul asked, not that he was really interested. "Well I just had a phone call from a casting-director at Wm- movie studio's. They want you for a new movie they're shooting next month." His manager explained. "Well, just send me the script and stuff and I'll see if I'm interested." Paul was a little surprised his manager would call for something like this. Normally he would just send the scripts over and Paul would let him no which ones he was interested in. "Yeah...I will...but there's something you should know before I send the script over..." His manager said. He sounded a bit uneasy. "I'm listening" Paul said. "Well...It's...it's a gay coming of age movie" his manager said. "No kidding huh..." Paul laughed, "No...I don't thing I'll be interested in that." "I thought you wouldn't..." His manager spoke "But they're offering a lot of money though...apparently they have their mind set on you...they already booked Josh Hartnett for one of the leading roles...and they really want you for the other lead." Paul didn't really know how to respond to this. For years he had wished he could one day get the opportunity to play in a movie with Josh. Now his manager was offering him exactly that so he wanted to jump the opportunity without a second thought. Problem was letting his manager know he actually was interested in the movie without making it obvious the mention of Hartnetts name had made him change his mind. "So...the money? Is it really that good?" Paul asked. "Yeah it really is..." His manager confirmed, "Why? You interested?" "Maybe..." Paul answered "you know I've been thinking of doing a movie of my own so I'll be needing all the funds I can get." Paul was amazed at his quick thinking. "I guess I really am a good actor" he thought to himself, "convincing him it's a money thing." He laughed at the idea. "So I'll send you the script then?" His manager asked. "Yeah...I'll decide once I've read it." Paul answered. With that the conversation ended. Paul couldn't believe he finally had the opportunity to work with Hartnett. Ever since he first saw `Halloween H2o' he'd been taken away by the boy's stunning good looks. Since then he had wished for the chance he had just received. Paul had known he was gay for quit some time now but had kept it hidden from just about everyone because he knew it might damage his career if this became public knowledge. Aside from his parents no one had any idea he wasn't into girls. Because of his fright to out himself to anyone his romantic life over the past couple of years could easily be described as "all quit on the western front", meaning as uneventful as a Mexican soccer match. Inspired by the phone call earlier Paul really had no trouble deciding what movie he was going to watch tonight. He pulled `Hollywood Homicide' out of his DVD- rack, put it on, and fell back into the sofa. ... Paul awoke the next morning by the sound of the doorbell. He was still half asleep so it took him some time to realize someone was at the door. He quickly put on some blue jeans and a shirt and went to the door. "Yes?" he spoke through the intercom. "I have a delivery for Mr. Walker." A voice answered. "Come on up" He said as he unlocked the door. Two minutes later he was holding a dark-brown envelop. It was the script the manager promised to send him. He immediately took a seat and started to read it. While reading it he became more and more enthusiastic about the project. The story was so well written and so cleverly plotted all his reserves about playing a gay role vanished. He recognised a lot of storylines in his own life. The fear of someone finding out, hurtful comments or jokes by unaware friends,... Suddenly a shock went through his body. While reading the script he had forgotten his `love interest' in the movie was going to be played by Josh. Now it came back to him and from what he read in the script not only were there several scenes where he was going to be kissing the guy but there were also as far as he could tell two nude- scenes. He got a heavy feeling in his stomach...cause saying the thought made him feel worried and uneasy was just a smidge of an understatement. He put the script back on the table as he tried to get his thoughts together. The chance of working with Josh was something he had hoped for quit some time, but what he just read was a bit more then he bargained for. He stood up and walked to the terrace of his apartment. Paul was not a smoker, but from time to time...when the stress really got to him he smoked one to calm himself down. This was one of those moments. As he stood there, looking over the city while inhaling the smoke, he tried to think what he was going to do now. He really didn't know. Suddenly the phone rang. It was his manager...again. He informed Paul he really needed a decision concerning the movie since it's producers wanted to start filming next week instead of next month. Something about the director's schedule, his manager said. Paul needed to make a decision right now...he tried to think but couldn't. "Well Paul what's it going to be?" His manager asked. With a sudden confidence Paul chose to ignore his fear and doubts and answered, "Yes...I'll do the movie." A heavy burden fell of his shoulders. "Ok, I'll send you everything you need to know...Schedule, contacts, phone- numbers,...the whole deal" His manager said. "Can you take care of hotels and air-line tickets as well?" Paul asked. "That's not necessary..." his manager answered, "the filming will take place right here in NYC, so you can stay at your place.". "Convenient" Paul said. The talked some details for a few minutes and then wrapped up their conversation. The rest of the morning Paul used to read the script again. From time to time people associated with the movie would call him. The director called and set up a meeting with the producers and the directing team to discuss the movie. It was a busy morning to say the least. After having answered about a dozen calls the phone rang again. "Ok this is the last call I'll answer today" Paul vowed to himself as he was beginning to get real frustrated with the fact that every two minutes his phone rang. He answered. It turned out to be his mother who was just wanted to check how he was doing. They talked a while about the new movie, life in NYC and just some pointless small talk. Twenty minutes later Paul put the phone back down. Paul had just hooked the phone back in when it started to ring again. "Not again!" Paul thought. He stood there a few seconds debating whether or not to pick up the phone. Since he was already standing in front of the annoying machine he decided this would be the REAL last call he'd answer today. He picked up the phone. "Hello" he said. "Hi..." a voice said on the other end, "Is this Paul Walker?" "Yes...who is this?" Paul asked. "Hi... I'm Josh Hartnett." Answered the voice on the other end. Paul was taken by surprise...for a moment he didn't know what to say. He thanked his lucky stars he had answered this call...but was a bit nervous at the same time. "You still there?..." Josh asked. "Yeah...I'm sorry...I'm not totally here today I guess...People have been calling me all morning so I'm a bit tired right now...but I'm still here." He answered. " Oh...sorry to bother you then..." Josh apologised. "No, I didn't mean it like you were bothering me..." Paul interrupted, fearing Josh might hang up. "I was just told you're going to take the part in, I guess you'd call it, `our' movie next week." Josh said. "Jesus! News spreads around quickly." Paul laughed. "Yeah I decided to take the part just a few hours ago." "So I heard...Listen I just wanted to ask if it were possible for you to get together somewhere this week...Since we'll be doing the movie together I would like to get to know you a bit better if we're going to work together." Josh said. Again Paul was taken by surprise when he heard this. His heart was racing by now. His dream-guy had just asked if he'd be interesting in getting together sometime. He needed some time to regroup but he knew he was going to jump at this opportunity. Still he didn't want to seem over-enthusiastic about it so he replied: "Yeah...that would be cool...when?" he asked. "Whenever suits you." Josh replied. "I'm kind of busy this week..." Paul sighed as he flipped through his agenda. He sighed again. "Tomorrow I have a day of...but I was going to use that to study the script again. It looks like tonight is about the only opening I have left in my schedule." "Tonight would work for me..." Josh replied. "Then I guess tonight it is..." concluded Paul. Then something dawned on Paul. "Wait a minute...does the mean you're in NY already?" He asked. "Yeah...I arrived yesterday. I always need some time to adapt to a new location. That's why I came a week in advance. When I saw you lived in NY on one of the lists the movie-people sent me I thought I'd give you a ring" Josh explained. "OK...so what do you want to do tonight then?" Paul asked. "I don't know...go to a bar or something, someplace not to crowded or noisy so when can talk about the movie and stuff." Josh answered. "Sounds cool...I know just THE place...why don't you come to my place and we'll go from here." Paul said. "OK...I got the address...so shall we say around eight?" Josh replied. "OK...see you then...you know how to get here?" Paul asked. "I'll manage..." Josh answered, "See ya tonight." With that they ended their conversation. Paul could not believe what had just happened. He looked at the clock and saw it was 2.00 pm. In six hours Josh would be here and they were going to spend the evening together. "How great is this!" He thought to himself. He decided to take a shower first and then grab something to eat. Since people had been bothering him from the moment he got up he hadn't had the chance to do either one. He walked to the bathroom. For a moment he debated whether he'd take a bath instead, but he decided a shower was quicker. He quickly stripped down to his black boxers. He turned the water open before completely undressing so it would be warm when he stepped in the shower. Suddenly he walked back to the kitchen. He decided to put on some coffee so that would be ready by the time he came out of the shower. Once he was back in the bathroom he dropped his boxers and stepped in the shower. The water was quit warm, just as he preferred it. He just stood there for a few minutes enjoying the hot water running over his naked body. Then he began to soap up, running his soap-covered hand over his chest shoulders and arms. His mind drifted away slowly as the warmth of the water worked its relaxing effect. He thought about the movie...about josh and his handsome features...about meeting him tonight. He imagined it were Joshes hands instead of his own, slowly rubbing his soft skin. He drifted away in his own thoughts still slowly running his hands over his skin. It took a while till he came back to reality. He noticed his dick had become fully erect while he was fantasising about Josh. He softly closed his hand around the base of his hard cock. Gently he started stroking his hard organ. While the warm water was still running over his body he brought his other hand down and started massaging his balls. Very slowly he moved his hands over his crotch, gently stroking his pulsing cock while at the same time rubbing a hand over his balls. The water immediately washed away the sweat appearing on his skin. His breathing became heavier as he massaged the head of his dick with his fingertips. He started to stroke his member faster and harder while he played various shirtless and underwear scenes from josh's movies in his head. He let out a moan while he came, his hands still working his crotch. Five shots of his white juice shot in the air, landing on his chest and stomach. He washed himself clean and got out of the shower. He dried himself and walked to the bedroom, his half-erect cock dangling between his legs. Once he was fully dressed he went back to the kitchen, poured himself some coffee and walked to the sofa. With a sigh he fell into the couch. He turned on the TV and watched it for a while. The rest of the afternoon he spent watching the episode of RAW he had taped last night and by reading the script again. Again he became uneasy when he thought about the nude scenes. After he got totally turned on in the shower, just by thinking about Josh he was worried what might happen when they both were naked. He decided to ban the thought from his head since there was nothing he could do about it right now. He watched Shawn Michaels beat the hell out of some mid- carder for a while. When the show was over he looked at the clock was almost 7.30 pm. "I better get ready cause he'll be here soon." Paul thought. He changed into an outfit he thought he looked better in, made sure there was no mess in the apartment. After that he went out on the terrace for a quick smoke before Josh arrived. As he walked back into his apartment the doorbell rang... To be continued... Well what do y'all think? Please don't hesitate to let me know what ya think of this story.
