Chapter 1- First Day on Set
Tom Welling arrived early on the first day of shooting, just as the rest of the cast did on Cheaper By The Dozen 2. For the returning cast members it was like a big family reunion. For the new cast members it was an opportunity to meet each other and be familiar with each other. Afterall, they were going to be shooting a movie together for the next 2 months. Filming this year started in June in Los Angeles, California so it was getting pretty hot. Tom arrived on set and went directly to his trailer to change into a pair of khaki shorts and a t-shirt. After he got changed he headed out to the pavillion which they were shooting at and had a seat next to his returning co-star Hilary Duff.
"Hey," she said as he sat down, "How's Hollywood been treatin ya?"
"It's alright, just finished up a new movie. Starting a new season of Smallville. How about you?" he said getting handed an iced coffee from an assistant.
"I just finished a new movie too and I'm getting set for my summer tour." she told him.
"Have you met any of the new castmembers yet?" she asked.
"Nope, I've seen a couple. Like Carmen Electra and Eugene Levy but that's it. Have you met any?" he asked her.
"Yeah, I met that guy who's playing Piper's husband in this one. Jonathan Bennett." she told him.
"I never heard of him." Tom responded.
"He's played in a few movies here and there. I was talking to him, he's definitley gay." she told him with a little laugh. "So that's cool to have a gay guy on set, good fashion advice."
"Yeah," he joked. But he was now interested in meeting this Jonathan Bennett guy. Tom has always been secretly bisexual, no one knew about it. Atleast he didn't think anyone knew about it. "Hey, I'll be back. I'm gonna go check out the set and stuff," he told Hilary as he got up.
"Okay, if you run into the director tell him I need to talk to him." she told him putting in an earpiece to her MP3 player.
Tom ventured through the outdoor area. The movie was being shot on an actual forest area so the air was humid and sticky. Tom began to work up a sweat so he removed his shirt that was now sticking to him. As he took it off he revealed his very muscular tone. Tom worked two or three times a week and had very nicely formed abs and pecs. He had large, pink nipples and a few hairs scattered throughout his chest. He walked past by a couple of crewmen who he saw we're sweating and working hard. Tom licked his lips as he passed them.
He finally made it to an open in the forest where a couple of the other castmembers were. He saw Hilary had made it over here before him and was now sitting with some of the younger kids in the movie. He walked back over to her and had a seat. "What happend to you?" she asked.
"What do you mean?" he replied back.
"You're all gross and sweaty. Sike I'm kidding. It's so hot out here." she told him.
"Tell me about it. Bet it wasn't hot taking that limo over here." he joked.
"Well I would have let you ride along but you already left." she told him.
"Who are they?" Tom asked looking over at some of the newer cast members with the younger kids.
"Um that one kid's name is Taylor, he's cool. And with him is Jamie King, she's really cool. And that.." she said pointing to a taller guy about Tom's age, "that's Jonathan Bennett." she told him.
Tom stared Jonathan Bennett down as Hilary continued to talk. Jonathan was wearing a tight white wifebeater which showed off his semi-muscular arms. He was sweating so his shirt was pressed up tight against his body so Tom could see his pecs and nipples through the shirt. As he lifted his arms he took notice of the huge batch of pithair he had. He took notice of his large masculine hands, his long slender fingers. He looked him up and down looking at his tight jean shorts pressed up against his manhood. He looked where his shorts cut off to notice his semi-hairy muscular legs which led to his large feet. He was wearing flip flops so Tom could see his long, slender toes. Tom licked his lips again and began to grow hard in shorts until Hilary snapped him out of his day dream. "Are you even listening to me?" she said clapping her hands infront of him.
"Oh yeah sorry." he told her.
"Then what did I say?" she asked him with a cocky attitude.
"You were talking about your tour or something." he said confused. '
"You were so not listening I was saying--" she began but was interrupted.
"Hey Hilary. You're Tom right?" an unfamiliar voice said.
Tom looked away from Hilary and realized it was Jonathan standing infront of him. He could see the sweat dripping from his short trimmed hair and rolling down his cheek. Dripping off of his cheek and onto his damp wifebeater. "Yeah, Tom Welling. Jonathan Bennett right?" Tom said putting out his large hand to shake.
"Right." Jonathan said shaking his hand, "Big fan of Smallville by the way." Jonathan told him, "My girlfriend and me watch it all the time"
Tom then got disappointed but continued to smile, "Yeah thanks." Tom said looking over at Hilary who was reading a magazine. Just then a bell rang calling all the actors in for the first scene to begin shooting.
"Hey maybe we can all hang out later." Jonathan said looking from Tom to Hilary.
"I don't know--" Tom began but Hilary cut in saying it'd be fun. With that Jonathan headed to his dressing room to get freshened up before getting changed. "Who are you to make plans for me?" he asked her as they walked towards her limo.
"I'll give you a ride back to your trailer." she told him, "I have to talk to you."
"Great." he said getting into the aircoditioned limo. "What do you need to talk to me about?" he asked as he closed the door to the limo.
"Well you are totally crushing for Jonathan. Come on Tom, I know your bisexual. I'm totally cool with it because Joel's brother Benji is too so it's okay. And I'm going to play matchmaker and make sure you guys get hooked up." Hilary said with a smile.
Tom couldn't believe it. After all these years he thought he was being careful about his sexuality but now this 17 year old girl had him figured out. But he was okay with it, he knew Hilary wouldn't spread it around. "Okay." he finally said. "But incase you didn't hear, he said he had a girlfriend."
"Of course he said that," Hilary said with a giggle, "He doesn't want people to actually think he's gay so of course he's going to say he watches Smallville with his girlfriend. And notice he said he's a "big" fan of Smallville. Come on, he sooo only watches the show to watch you. You guys are perfect for eachother." she said as the limo came to a stop. "So after shooting today, around 9ish, I'll meet you and Johnny back here." she said getting out of the limo.
Tom gave her an unsure look.
"Look I promise, I won't say anything to anyone. Just meet us here tonight and we'll all go out to eat or something." she told him.
"Okay" Tom said getting out of the car and looking across the camp area. He saw Jonathan heading into his trailer and swallowed hard. "I'll be there at nine." he said with a grin.
"Perfect!" she told him and went to her trailer.
Sorry this was a bit of an introduction chapter. And this series won't just be about Tom Welling and Jonathan Bennett. You can look forward to reading about Jacob Smith, Taylor Lautner, Robbie Amell, Steve Martin, and Eugene Levy. And like I said, this is just an introduction. The next chapter is when the fun begins and Hilary Duff is out of the picture.
