Disclaimer: This is first time attempt at even doing anything like this. I don’t think I have the talent to write, but for some odd reason, I just had to write this story. Did someone lose their muse? Oh, and this is also the result of an over active imagination. And things occur the way they do because that is the way I wanted them happen. I hope no one takes offense at the language but I do have a terrible potty mouth most of the time and two of the words used in the apology have a way of escaping my mouth no matter what happens. I have never and will never meet either man but, damn they are fine to look at, aren’t they?

Author’s Notes: This movie shoot will go on for about five months, just because I said it would and who knows what other actors will stop by to see them. Just try to enjoy this story. The little bit about the dog, Tiny, comes from my life. I had to euthanize my dog of almost 15 years. Tiny mommy loves you.

Feedback would be appreciated.


Three days later a truck pulling a horse trailer pulled up to the front of the house. Viggo took off his reading glasses and looked over at the truck. He had been sitting on the front porch looking over the script and was wondering who it was that would be replacing Nicole. There were a couple actresses that he would like to work with, but he and Orlando had to wait and see who it would be. Both he and Orlando had sex scenes that would eventually be filmed and they both hoped they would be able to work with the person.

“I wonder what’s going on. I thought they had all the horses for the movie that they needed.” Viggo thought. Filming of this movie involved working with horses and that was why he brought a couple of his own horses. TJ for himself and two other horses of which Orlando could choose if he didn’t like the horses that were hired for the movie. He hoped the new horses weren’t going to cause any problems with any of his horses.

The driver got out of the truck and asked Viggo where the stables were located. As Viggo was giving directions Tom Rose, the stable manager, came over and looked at the horses through the slats in the trailer. As the truck drove over to the barn, Viggo walked over to Tom and asked about the horses being delivered. “I don’t know who the horses belong to, but damn they're fine looking horses. The one mare’s is gray, and looks to be about eight years old. The other horse is cream colored, and is probably about six years. Their owner is supposed on her way here from the airport. I guess we’ll see who your new co-star is going to be shortly. This could get pretty interesting.” Tom walked away shaking his head.

“Two mares,” Viggo thought, “I hope they're not in heat. That’s all we need.”

Viggo just started to walk towards the barn, when an airport taxi started up the drive. He waited until it stopped and walked over to the taxi. As the door opened, the crew who were sitting around came over to see who was in the taxi that was pulling up.

Orlando came around from the side yard where he had been playing with Sidi and walked over to where Viggo was standing and waited to see who was Nicole's replacement. Angela walked over to Viggo and Orlando were standing and nonchalantly wrapped her arms around Orlando’s waist as he stood there with the others. Angela said in a snotty tone of voice, “Finally, here she is, I wonder if she was worth the wait.”

Orlando nicely unwrapped Angela’s arms from around his waist and moved away from Angela and closer to Viggo. He was just as curious as everyone else to find out who the actress was replacing Nicole.

As the woman stepped out of the taxi, Viggo had the shock of his life. They were actually going to be working with Sheila. He guessed she wasn’t going to back out of this movie. Sheila was one of the few actresses he actually wanted to work with on a film. There were two previous movies where she was supposed to star in but had to drop out due to prior commitments.

Her long brown hair was pulled into a messy pony tail that sat on top of her head and her shirt and track suit looked to be two sizes to big and was wrinkled from traveling. As she got out of the taxi and stood to gather her laptop and purse, she started sneezing and her sun glasses fell off the top of her head to the ground. She and Viggo both bent down at the same time to get her sun glasses and smacked their foreheads together. Sheila dropped her bags on the ground. Sheila, being the lady she was, said out loud, “Fuck that hurt,” as she rubbed her forehead. Viggo stood up and gave her the sunglasses as he too was rubbing his forehead.

Viggo said, “Sorry about that, Sheila.”

As Sheila took the glasses, all she saw were a pair of blue eyes and brown eyes looking at her. Looking behind them, Sheila saw everyone staring over her way. She turned her head around to see if there was something or someone behind her. Nothing was behind her, maybe she spilt her Diet Pepsi™ down the front of her shirt that she was unaware of. She looked, 'nope nothing on her shirt'. Maybe her nipples were standing at attention so she pulled her shirt out and looked down at her chest; nope they seemed to be behaving. Pretty nice considering the fact that standing in front of her were Viggo Mortensen, rubbing his forehead, and Orlando Bloom, blushing for some reason.

Alfred came rushing out of the house with his cell phone up to his ear and stopped to see what was going on. When he saw the taxi and Sheila standing there looking back at everyone staring at her, he quickly hung up the phone and walked over to her to give her a hug. She looked up at Alfred and only because he knew her so well and could see the specks of gold in her eyes did he know that she was really pissed.

“She, baby, how are you doing? Did you have a nice flight? How was the weather? Have any trouble finding the house? Nickel and Sourdough are here and I’m sure you’d like to get yourself situated. You’re on the same floor as Viggo and Orlando and I’ll explain about the room situation when we get you to your room. So would you like to meet everyone? I’m sure they’d like to meet you, come on.”

Sheila smiled and gave Alfred a hug and replied, "Fine. Yes, it is my jet after all. Weather is fine. No, no trouble finding the place. I'm glad the horses are here. Yes, I would like to get myself situated. What about the room situation? I'm not sharing my room with anyone, not after four years of being on the road with my band and practically living on a tour bus."

“Um, yes, Sheila this is Viggo Mortensen, Viggo this is Sheila. Sheila this is Orlando Bloom, Orlando, this Sheila.” Viggo and Orlando both stepped forward at the same time and extended their hands towards Sheila at the same time Sheila extended her hand. As all three hands met, Sheila felt a jolt go up her arm. As the tingle traveled up her arm, her brows creased for a brief second and she glanced down to see what she was standing on, maybe a wire. No wire in sight. 'Must have been my imagination,' Sheila thought. She shrugged it off thinking it was here imagination, but unbeknownst to her, Viggo, still rubbing his forehead and Orlando felt the same jolt travel up each of their arms.

Sheila saw Viggo still rubbing his forehead and started to apologize, “Shit…I...I mean fuck….sorry, I have a potty mouth and those two words just somehow seem to be a big part of my vocabulary. Are you okay, Mr. Mortensen?”

As she stood there watching the lump forming on Viggo’s head, Angela pushed her way toward the front of the group. She had no idea who it that was causing such a fuss and wanted to let this person know who the star of this movie was. She walked in front of Viggo, Orlando and Alfred and said, “Hi, I’m Angela Hilton and I’m the star of this movie. Who the hell are you?”

A set of blue, green and brown eyes opened wider and just looked at the back of Angela’s head then over at Sheila. 'Angela didn't know who this person was?' they all thought. Their eyes opened even wider when Sheila smiled and calmly replied, “Hi, I’m Sheila, I’m the Executive Producer of this movie and I have been called off my vacation and am taking over for Nicole. Honey, if you think you’re the diva on set, you better think again. The diva has just arrived. I’m the biggest mother-fucking diva you will ever have the pleasure of meeting and working with in your short-lived movie career. I hope you have money set aside for retirement. You may need it if you keep acting like this.”

As a somewhat stunned group looked on, Orlando’s dog, Sidi, came running around from the side of the house to see what was keeping Orlando. Sidi saw Orlando and ran over to him and jumped up on Orlando which pushed him in Viggo which pushed Viggo in Sheila who stepped back and tripped over her bag.

Three “oofs,” were heard as Sheila went down, flat on her back with both men landing on top of her and the dog, figuring everyone wanted to play, and started jumping around and licking everyone’s face. As she lay there, Sheila started to laugh. It struck her as funny lying on the ground with both Viggo and Orlando struggling on top of her as they were trying to get up, avoiding Sidi’s tongue, and trying not to place their hands on inappropriate places on her body.

Lying under them Sheila really couldn’t do anything but just lie there and take in the blushes on both of their faces as they tried to get off of her gracefully. Viggo and Orlando stopped moving for a second, collected themselves and moved to get off top of her. They helped her up off the ground.

Orlando caught Sidi and kept apologizing for the mishap. She was laughing at what had just occurred and thought that it couldn’t have been scripted better if it was a scene in a movie. All she could say was, “I’m certainly glad I peed before I left the airport or I'd really be embarrassed.” Still grinning, Sheila walked over to Orlando, shook his hand and told him not to worry about it. She knelt down and said to Sidi, “It’s nice to meet you too, Sidi. I’ve read a lot about you.” She straightened and finally turned to Viggo, “Well, Mr. Mortensen, it is nice to finally meet you and not have any prior commitments taking me away this time. I look forward to working with the both of you.”

Viggo replied, “Well, it is nice to finally work with you also, Sheila and please call me Viggo. I’m sorry you were pulled in to work on this movie, but then again, I’m glad you were available.”

A young snotty voice said, “Yeah, a pleasure I’m sure.”

Sheila just looked at Angela and said, “Yeah, it’s going to be your pleasure, all right, we’ll work together on an attitude adjustment for you.”

Sheila turned toward the cab driver who watched everything that just occurred in shock. He just wanted his fare, and leave. He could brag to his wife and son that he had driven Sheila to the estate where the big time movie people were staying. He then asked about the fare. Having only six pockets in the track suit, she felt in each pocket for the money she had put aside for the fare and found it in the last pocket. Viggo and Orlando watched her hands checking her pockets. Finding some money Sheila paid the fare and over tipped the driver. He got in the taxi and drove down the driveway shaking his head.

Turning on the heel of her tennis shoe Sheila glanced at Angela has she spoke to Alfred, “What about the room situation?” Just knowing Alfred and his sense of humor, she knew what the situation was going to be. He tried on numerous occasions to make her share a bathroom with someone, for some reason. She didn’t know how many times she had to put a stop to the bathroom stunt as she called it. It didn’t seem to matter that most of the men she worked with were either gay or married. It just seemed to make his day trying to get her to share a bathroom with someone. Maybe this time, she would let him get away with it. After all a pair of blue eyes were currently haunting her.

“Okay, who am I sharing the bathroom with this time?” She turned to Viggo and Orlando and said, “If I’m sharing a bathroom with either of you, I promise to look you in the eye if we accidentally see the other nude. Just remember my peripheral vision is pretty damn good. Peeking is allowed, gawking isn’t.”

They both shook their heads. Each had heard stories about her that they didn’t know if they were true or not. They obviously had heard of her and never thought that she would be the one they were going to work with her. Orlando was going to give Elijah a call as he had worked with her before. Elijah just never said anything about his time working with Sheila. 'Fuck, he had a sex scene with her,' he thought starting to blush again.

They knew that Sheila was going to be in the room next to Viggo and that the room was connected by the bathroom. Viggo said he didn't have a problem sharing the bathroom as he had been married. He just wondered what he had gotten himself into now knowing that it was Sheila he was going to have to share the bathroom with. Alfred couldn’t put Sheila in Nicole’s room because Angela demanded that her mother be moved to Nicole’s room because she need more room so Alfred had moved Jessica into the room Nicole originally had.

Alfred took Sheila’s bags and she took the one she had tripped over.

“Be careful, my laptop is in that black case. We do have internet connections, right?”

He nodded his head and wrapped his arm around her shoulder and started to lead her into the house. “You’re going to like the room, She. It’s just how you like a room, nice, quiet and cool.” To which Sheila replied as she smiled at Alfred, “Well that’s good because I’m starting to have hot flashes and they’re a real bitch.” Viggo heard that hot flash comment and leaned his back and let out a low moan. What did he get himself into?

Orlando looked at Viggo and asked, “What?”

“Come on Orli let’s go take the horses for a ride,” Viggo said without answering Orli’s question. He would find out soon enough. “I want to see the horses now that we who we are working with. I didn’t know she knew how to ride. Maybe that was part of the problem with Nicole besides the little lady. I didn’t get a good look at the horses before they were taken to the stable.”

____________________________________________________________

Upstairs, Sheila was walking around her room. “You did say that this house is wired for the internet, right? Cable? Good. I was reading some hot fan fiction and left a couple in mid-story. I even got back in to writing again and am giving the fan fiction a try. Just have to be a little careful what I write about. I can’t have anyone putting two and two together and outing me for writing fan fiction,” she said with a smile.

“Yes the house is wired for the internet and yes, cable, and I will get your prescriptions refilled before you run out. Sheila, we have to talk. The situation here is pretty bad. I don’t know how Viggo and Orlando have managed to stay sane here and Jessica, Angela’s mother, is pretty embarrassed and only comes out of her room when she and Angela go to the set,” Alfred said.

“Okay. So tell me what has been going one,” Sheila said as she put on her EP hat.

“It’s because of Angela that Nicole left, that and that she was worried about the horses and riding them, not her favorite hobby. Angela just made life unbearable for Nicole. Angela has no sense of respect for anyone. Especially for Jessica. Nicole had that clause in her contract that she chose to invoke, and no one blames her for her decision.”

“What do the others have to say about the situation? Have you talked to them?”

“Yeah I talked to them but they are gentlemen and won’t say anything. They believe in this movie as much as we do. They want to see it made and they believe that Angela is the best choice for the she is playing character.”

“Have you talked to Angela? What’s up with her? Has she always been like this?”

“Yes, I talked to Angela. No I don’t know what, if anything is going one, and no, she hasn’t always been this way. Angela has been in this business for the last five years. Jessica told me that it’s just been within the last year, since she won the Oscar for her first movie, that she has become so nasty. There was rumor that she had a boyfriend but no one can verify that rumor. Oh, she thinks she is the perfect one for Orlando.”

“Does he know this?”

“Unfortunately, yes and he has been nothing but a gentleman about it.”

“Okay, then let’s get the ball rolling. First, you didn’t want me to get my hair cut. What is the plan? Second, you, Jonathan and I are going to meet with Angela and her mom within the next hour. I’m just going to lay it out for Angela. She will owe MarSheKel more money than she’ll ever make if this attitude keeps up. Let’s get that appointment set and get Jonathan over here. One of us should talk to Viggo and Orlando after the meeting let them know what is going on.”

“Okay, you have a nine o’clock appointment with the hair dresser tomorrow. He’ll meet you at the set. We won’t start filming again until Tuesday, so you can get yourself settled and get to know Viggo and Orlando. I’ll call Jonathan now and we can meet in the office. Give me about an hour, and we’ll meet down in the office.”

“I get to pick my color?” Sheila asked.

“Yeap.”

“Okay, and Alfred, thanks for your help on getting here. I really appreciated it. It was pretty hard leaving my place. I guess I’ll go back to Montana when this film is finished. I missed not having any animals around. I really miss my Tiny. I guess almost 15 years is pretty good, uh?”

“Yeah, he had a good life, lots of love and he’s looking down at you, you know that, right?”

Sheila turned her back has tears filled her eyes and nodded her head. She really missed her baby. Maybe she would get another dog when she got back to the ranch. Yes, the cold hearted bitch wasn’t has cold has everyone said she was.

Alfred smiled and turned to leave, “Oh, and you’re sharing a bathroom with Viggo,” has he quickly left the room.

An hour later, Sheila, Alfred, Jonathan, Jessica and Angela sat in the office. Jessica kept her eyes on the table as Angela sat there with a smirk on her face.

“Angela, I’m going to talk to you as if you are a mature young lady who can understand what I am saying.” Sheila said, “You are treading on very shaky ground at the moment. You are 18 years old and I figure you should find out what is happening with the film because of your actions. Because of you we have to re-shoot the scenes you did with Nicole. Those scenes will now, obviously be re-shot with me. I’m going to let you know right now, I don’t put up with tantrums from anyone. I wouldn’t put up with tantrums from Viggo or Orlando if they acted this way. If you want to be respected by your co-workers who you have shown total disrespect, you will have to readjust your attitude as of right now. If you won’t treat the others, cast, crew and especially your mother with respect I will have no choice but to fire you. Firing you will cost me more money and your reputation will suffer more than you can ever imagine.”

“Financially, you cause any further delays and you will be breaking your contract. You will owe MarSheKel Productions more money than you can imagine. People have away of talking, the people behind the scenes talk, and stories get out that can damage your reputation. I talk to the right people and when they ask for my opinion….. I’ll let you figure out the rest of that thought. Now you owe your cast mates and the crew an apology. How you make the apologies is up to you. What do you have to say to about this?”

“Who the hell are you to put this offer, if you can call it an offer, out on the table? What are you sleeping with a lawyer or the other producers? You’re just like me, an actress.”

“No Angela, I’m not like you in any way shape or form. I have Bachelors Degree, an MBA and, I also have a law Degree, I am a lawyer. I spent eight years going to college while I worked on that television series in the early 80’s. I have those degrees because that was the only way I had of understanding my finances and the contracts that I was signing. No Angela, I’m not like you. I have never acted like you are while working the last 20 some years. And you’re talking to owner of MarSheKel Productions.”

“You talk this over with your mother. Let me know your decision. I already have another young actress waiting to take your place. It’s about 3 o’clock. You have until tomorrow afternoon; say about 1 o’clock to decide. Discuss this problem with your mom, she isn’t stupid. She knows what I’m talking about.”

Angela just stared at Sheila. She owned MarSheKel Productions? She had all those degrees. She didn’t know what to say and never took the time to realize the consequences of her actions. As she thought over what had she had done, tears started to gather in her eyes. She never thought about the money angle before. No one ever talked to her about her money and she thought she was just going to get richer and richer. Now what was she going to do?

She looked at Sheila and said quietly, “I’m sorry and I really mean it. I want to do this movie. I will give you the same answer tomorrow. I’ll apologize to everyone, especially Orlando.”

“Angela, about Orlando, he’s in his early 30's and you are in your late teens. I think it might be safer for you to put your attention towards this film. Okay?”

She started to cry quietly and put her head on her mother’s shoulder. Jessica mouthed “thank you” and whispered that they should go to her room and talk with each other.

“Angela, I’ll be happy to work with you. Just keep in mind that I’m no joy to be around sometimes. I’ve been a diabetic for more than 30 years and there are times when the sugar gets higher than I like and I can get really nasty. I will apologize in advance if that happens. And, if that happens, the best thing to do is to walk away from me. Now that that is out of the way, again, I look forward to working with you and I think we have one heck of a cast and let’s try to have some fun, okay?”

Jessica and Angela got up and left the room. Jonathan and Alfred breathed a sigh of relief. Sometimes Sheila still continued to amaze Alfred. He knew she had a soft heart that she just kept hidden from everyone. She hadn’t let anyone close enough to really earn her trust or get to know her in about fifteen years. She needed someone who could show her just what she was missing and he was secretly hoping she had just met him.

“Who did you have in mind to replace her?” Jonathan asked.

“Actually no one, I’m waiting to see if she’ll call my bluff. She said she wanted to do this film, so let’s see what happens.”

Sheila said, “I don’t think the rough spots are completely over, and I fully expect there to be some problems, just not as difficult as they have been. Either of you want to talk to Viggo and Orlando and let them know what has happened?”

“I’ll talk to them,” Alfred said. “Oh by the way, Mark and Steve will be here before dinner. They agreed, only because you’re here, to take care feeding everyone living here while we are filming. They’ll have food on the table for dinner. And your car should be here in the next hour or so, okay?”

“Thanks Alfred, you take good care of me”

“Well someone has to; it might as well be me. You know I love you, right?”
