Jake was Molly's older brother by a year. And tonight he was, to her way of thinking, her only hope. She was the lead in a play. It was a small play but it was her biggest break into acting so far. They only problem was the lead male got into a wreck and broke his leg. There was no understudy, and no time to find one.
So Molly told the director that she knew a guy who could do it. She told him that he had run the lines with her, and he was a natural actor so it wouldn't be a problem for him to filled the part. With opening night tomorrow, the director was more than willing to accept this last minute stand in. The only problem was she hadn't actually asked him yet.
"Please Jake!" Molly pleaded after she explained what it was she needed. Jake just continued standing there with a stubborn look on his face. "It will just be for the first few shows. We can have someone else trained for the part by then, and besides, you were always great in the high school plays, and they're going to pay you and everything."
Jake only rolled his eyes. "Molly, this isn't a High School play..."
"But you already know the part!" She interrupted. He put a hand up to stop her and said, "Yes, I know the LINES, but there's a freaking SEX SCENE in this play!"
Molly brushed her reddish brown hair back from her face, blushing and looking anywhere but into her brothers eyes. "It's SIM-U-LA-TED dummy. We wouldn't actually have sex." She said, trying to sound nonchalant about it. Jake just continued stare at her, his arms crossed.
Molly just doubled her efforts. With a cute face and just a hint of freckles and a pleasantly rounded body, if on the short side, she had rarely failed to get what she wanted from any guy. But her brother in particular was susceptible to her little damsel in distress routine. And since this wasn't a trivial favor she was asking for, it was almost impossible for him to maintain his resistance. within ten minutes he had agreed and they were headed to the theater, for an emergency rehearsal before opening night.
