Author's Note: Ah, I don't know them. This is just how I think it should be.
01. Motion
“Let’s get last shot moving!” the director called from his spot behind the multiple monitors.
02. Cool
Sandra shivered slightly at her spot crouched next to the mailbox; from this angle, she could see Keanu’s portfolio clearly, hopping up and down for warmth just a few feet away.
03. Young
They had been goofing around all day, but this was a scene where their juvenile attitudes would not fly.
04. Last
It was the last shot they were doing for The Lake House.
05. Wrong
They were shooting the final scene, which could be considered ironic if not for the fact that they had tried to film it already and the take was miserable.
06. Gentle
Keanu and Sandra were still trying to get back into a groove with each other, and the kiss had come out as gentle as a lamb.
07. One
“She is the only one you want! Prove to her!” Alejandro had shouted disgustedly after calling for cut.
08. Thousand
But Keanu had a hard time being hungrily driven for a woman in front of a thousand person crew and cast.
09. King
Besides, any person on the street would point out that he wasn’t exactly acting royalty; what did they expect from him?
10. Learn
A lot, it turned out, and they were willing to hold off the final kiss until he learned to express his emotions.
11. Blur
The rest of the movie shooting had gone by in a whirlwind of architecture lingo and Sandra’s glittering smile.
12. Wait
The longer they spent time together, on and off the set, the harder Keanu found it to wait for the final scene.
13. Change
Between the first try and this one, something had changed in his feelings for his costar.
14. Command
Keanu prided himself on being in control of his emotions.
15. Hold
He was usually able to hold his real feelings inside while the exterior displayed a cold, placid, and neutral front.
16. Need
But around Sandra … as had always been the case, Keanu had a desire to tell her how he really felt.
17. Vision
Tell her of his vision of the two of them promoting this movie not just as friends, but as something more.
18. Attention
The thought had certainly grabbed his attention the first time it occurred to him one night after a long day of shooting, but it had become more familiar and reasonable with time.
19. Soul
Sandra was everything to him; the pair knew things about each other instinctively, as if they shared the same soul.
20. Picture
Once the movie wrapped up, Keanu didn’t know if Sandra would stay in the picture, as the past indicated their normal pattern of meeting briefly with long periods of separation between.
21. Fool
He’d been a fool not to go after her while they made Speed.
22. Mad
At the time it’d seem mad; after all, she was engaged!
23. Child
But at the present time he saw that he’d taken a simple, childish view of a much more complicated and deep rooted situation.
24. Now
If he could go back now, Keanu would have taken the scandal for her any day of the week.
25. Shadow
Maybe then he wouldn’t have had a shadow of regret following him everywhere.
26. Goodbye
The goodbye they shared when Speed wrapped was the hardest night of his life.
27. Hide
Since then he’d been determined to hide any lingering feelings of love for Sandra.
28. Fortune
Fortunately life had taken them in such opposite directions that he didn’t see her as often.
29. Safe
Letters were the safest way for him to speak with her -- he would agonize over every word, each phrase, making sure nothing was revealed.
30. Ghost
However with time his romantic feelings for Sandra, a ghost which haunted any and every girl he pursued, faded.
31. Book
The tale of their heartbreaking love was enough to make Keanu consider that maybe these renewed feelings were just nostalgia.
32. Eye
But then Sandra’s brown eyes met his.
33. Never
The chemistry which charged between them, on the screen or off, was something he never experienced with any of the other beautiful costars.
34. Sing
He could almost hear the sing of electricity zip between he and Sandra every time their eyes met.
35. Sudden
“Let’s make this happen!” Alejandro’s voice suddenly announced.
36. Stop
Keanu stopped reminiscing and focused on the moment.
37. Time
After two years of waiting his character, Alex, was finally reuniting with Sandra’s character, Kate.
38. Wash
Anxiety washed over Keanu.
39. Torn
He was torn between his duty as an actor to portray a character and his own feelings for Sandra.
40. History
It was funny how history repeated itself; he’d felt the same dilemma as he sat crouched in the fake subway, Sandra huddled and trembling in his arms … he wondered if she was having the same thoughts right now.
41. Power
As she was given the signal to rise, Sandra prayed that God give her the power to deliver the scene properly.
42. Bother
Then, she wondered why she bothered.
43. God
After all, surely God had better things to do than make sure two measly actors kissed passionately enough.
44. Wall
But there had been a wall between her and Keanu for so long, created by distance and a lack of quality time, Sandra wasn’t sure if they’d be able to pull it off, even if they‘d felt more comfortable with each other lately.
45. Naked
She began walking, hearing the camera zipping along beside her, cracking a small, nervous smile; she felt as though her emotions and uncertainties were bare and open for all to see.
46. Drive
Yet a small drive inside her, almost autopilot, kept her walking, stopped her on spot, and looked up into Keanu‘s waiting, anxious face.
47. Harm
“You came --” her line was cut off by Keanu’s lips smashing against her; no harm done, but Sandra nevertheless gripped his coat to keep herself upright.
48. Precious
What had happened to the precious, sweet kiss they had practiced two months earlier?
49. Hunger
Keanu kissed her with a ferocious, unquenched hunger, and Sandra felt her body sexually responding, fueled by a warm fire in her belly.
50. Believe
If she didn’t know any better, Sandra would have believed that Keanu wasn’t just acting; that he was as much in love with her as Alex was with Kate.
