Break in Holy of Holies

(By Gaby)

"Oh, God! It’s really hot today, isn’t it?" Roma asked her new co-star, Valerie Bertinelli taking a seat on a chair next to her. They were both dressed in white as they were about to film the last part of the revelation scene in the episode Holy of Holies, and the five angels that day were waiting for the technicians to finish to install the lights.

"I guess you never get bored here, right Roma? We’ve been changing of scenario every week!" Valerie asked. She had been no more than three weeks working with them but she had come to like her angelic supervisor a lot.

"You’re right, though it isn’t always this extreme! Next week we’ll be back to our normal set and our normal schedules. No long hours rides to come here in the morning... That’s something Johnny will be grateful for!" the Irish actress added more to herself looking towards the blond actor.

"You two seem to get along," Valerie commented.

"Oh, everybody gets along with Johnny! You’ll see!" Roma said smiling. "He’s the most charming man you’ll meet!" Valerie looked at her rather skeptically and this didn’t go unnoticed by the Irish actress. "What?" Roma asked.

"Roma... you do realize he is in love with you, right?" the "new" angel asked.

"No, he is not!" Roma replied quickly. "Oh, please, Valerie, no! Everybody says the same but he is not!"

"You know? I haven’t been here for more than three weeks but it’s obvious."

"Obvious?"

"The way he treats you, the way he looks at you... He can’t take his eyes off you!"

"But that’s the way he is! With everybody!"

"No, there’s something subtle in the way he treats you..."

"Hi!" the blond actor interrupted their conversation. He took a seat beside Roma and immediately looked for her hand. "It’s pretty hot, huh?"

"Yeah, that’s what I was telling Valerie," Roma replied smiling at him and then looking at their hands intertwined.

"Among other things..." Valerie added purposefully. John was about to as her what she wanted to say but someone from the staff called her. "Don’t mind me, I’m going," she said.

John and Roma saw her walking away and the blond actor turned to see his Irish friend. "What were you talking about?" he asked watching at their hands and starting to play with her fingers.

"You actually," she said looking at him. She was getting used to people telling her what Valerie has said, still she loved his touch and the way he always made her feel precious.

"Me? And why was I the subject of your conversation?"

"Because you’re charming, Mr. Dye!"

John blushed slightly and then cupped her face tenderly with one hand while the other didn’t release hers. "And who would not be charming with such a beautiful woman like you, Roma?". She smiled and leaned over his hand. "For me it’s the easiest thing I’ve ever done in my life!" He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. "Now let’s go, ‘Monica’, you have a revelation scene to perform," he said standing up and leading her hand in hand to where the rest of the angels were waiting for them.
