Daddy Issues- Joseph Quinn

I know some people

Costume trials consisted of the pair changing in 30 different outfits and posing for pictures so the costume designers and director could debate what they found appropriate for the character.

Mabel found herself in her thoughts most of the day. Thinking about how she should never have agreed to a friends with benefits relationship because she's more scared of hurting Joe than him hurting her. She knew commitment was not her cup of tea and that Joe deserved someone who could commit. She reminded herself this was his idea and not hers so if anything happens the blame is on him.

Mabel is torn away from her thoughts by Joe laughing with a woman who was designing his costume. During the conversation she saw the woman place her hand on joes arm and throw her head back and laugh. Joe then placing his hand on top of hers and telling another joke. Mabel couldn't help but view the girl as extremely desperate and rolled her eyes, which Joe caught in the corner of his eye. He excused himself from the woman and made his way over to Mabel.

"I saw that" Joe stated sitting on a chair next to where she was standing.

"Saw what?" Mabel asked innocently.

"You rolled your eyes at me talking to another woman" Joe chimed unlocking his phone.

"No I didn't- I had something in my eye I had to get out" Mabel lied through her teeth.

"Sure" Joe scoffed while scrolling on his phone.

Mabel decided payback is always fun. She slowly undressed from her costume carefully placing her discarded clothes on the chair next to Joe. She noticed his eyes drivert from his phone to her body. Feeling his eyes burning on her skin she decided to drop a ring she was wearing just so she had to bend down in front of him in nothing but her underwear which thanks to the costume crew was a scarlet red set.

Joseph couldn't keep his eyes off the brunette in front of him, her every move was mesmerising and he couldn't look away. The red lace laying upon her tanned skin, her brown hair lightly curled hitting her lower back.

Mabel was now fully aware she had every ounce of his attention and was thriving in it. She got up from her bend and reached for her satin robe that was placed over her privacy screen. She slipped the robe on effortlessly and tied it around her waist turning her attention to Joe.

"Can I help you Mr Quinn?" She teased.

Joe swallowed hard for a moment and breathed out.

"You'll be the death of me Mabel Mae" he smirked leaning back in the chair his hands behind his neck. Mabel couldn't help but stare at his arms flexed like that. She decided to roll her eyes at Joe and walk over to her best friend.

"The entire studio just saw your ass i do hope you know that" Kristen shook her head at Mabel as she was biting into an apple.

"I think the entire worlds seen my ass I'm not shy" Mabel chimes in grabbing a doughnut from the snack table her eyes resting on Joe who had diverted his attention back to his phone.

"I don't know what you two are doing, but just be careful you're working together for the next six months" Kristen reminded her best friend. Mabel groaned in Response.

"You're no fun" Mabel pouted to Kristen.

"I'm fun but you're the one playing with your career." Kristen shrugged walking away from the brunette towards the other staff.

Mabel took another bite of her doughnut and sighed. Kristen was right, she'd had issues after issues in the media and was probably only one more scandal from it collapsing from under her. She decided to grab another doughnut and offer it to Joe.
