canadian pride.

[dakotajchnson]

DAKOTA: The gig is absolutely up. I'm literally on my way home as we speak, so your reign of terror as a single parent is almost over. Try not to teach her any more crimes in the next few hours. I fully intend on dragging you back to Stromboli at some point. DAKOTA: Also, I'm sorry... my heels? Taylor Kitsch, what exactly do you mean by "avant-garde vision?" Because those words don't belong in the same sentence as my closet. I feel like you're trying to soften the blow before I walk into a crime scene. DAKOTA: And don't think I missed the fact that your first instinct if the FBI arrives is to turn in our daughter. That's actually terrible parenting. You're supposed to go down with the ship. DAKOTA: Although, in fairness, if she gave me that face she does when she's being mischievous, I'd probably cave immediately too. Which is why I refuse to accept any allegations that I'm the bad influence. She came out like this. We're both victims. Honestly, the thought of seeing you both in a few hours is making me ridiculously happy. I miss my little criminal. I miss my husband. I miss our bed. I miss all the boring little things that didn't seem important until I was halfway across the world. So please tell River that mommy is on her way home, and tell her she has exactly one hour to destroy whatever remains of my closet before I arrive and begin my investigation.

[tcylorkitsch]

TAYLOR: I didn't even get to cry in the phone about how hard it is, probably cause its not hard but like everyone wants some sympathy. We have a crash study hall no worries

TAYLOR: You'll love them, like maybe we can frame them or put them in a cupboard with a little light on them. And I mean that cause I think she did some of her best work on them. Oh no worry they may be limited edition but I found a new one on ebay and its been shipped already

TAYLOR: No that's captains we established long ago Im not the captain here. Not the captain.

TAYLOR: No this was her setting pre-installed. It's turned on the mass distraction since day one, and we both are merely casualties of her brilliance. No that is the best news ever. This house has been entirely too quiet well except for the sound of when she finds your closet. When I told her Mommy was on her way home, she stopped mid destruction, I swear that means something like she misses you terribly too. Well I miss you fiercely. The boring little things are waiting just right where you left them all. You might be the missing piuece of me that is what I learned. Definitely waiting on you to get back cause life has felt paused without you.

[hayleyfm]

Stop - that's adorable. Always getting to know things about your partner is something that I really want in life, too. I think I've found that. Things with Brandon are amazing. He makes me feel like I'm the only woman in the world.

[tcylorkitsch]

Right? It's like when you resolve to stop learning things in life, things get dull real fast. If that's the case I never want our love to be that way. Damn Im happy for you Hayley. I don't want to be a snoop and ask the thousand questions, but do you two have summer plans?

[kordeiblvrd]

yes you are the right taylor. i do know a few but you’re the one im looking for. it’s a pleasure to meet you too. friday night lights was a great show. i love football so its right up my alley.

[tcylorkitsch]

Oh few that makes me happy, thought you had the wrong one and was going to be like I will be whatever Taylor you need me to be. Really? Who are you rooting for?

[dakotajchnson]

DAKOTA: See, this is exactly the problem. Part of me feels like I just got here, and the other part feels like I’ve lived on this island for six years and developed a completely different personality. I’m going to miss it. But I’m also very ready to stop living out of a suitcase and return to civilization. Or at least my version of civilization, which is mostly you stealing my side of the bed and River using me as a jungle gym. And thank you for the standing appointment. That sounds perfect, actually. Ten hours minimum. Maybe twelve. I think I've earned it. DAKOTA: Although I do have one concern. Have you been letting our daughter form a tiny criminal organization while I’ve been gone? Because every FaceTime call lately feels like she’s learned a new way to cause trouble. How many laws has she broken? How many things from my closet have been sacrificed in the process? And most importantly, which one of you is the bad influence?

[tcylorkitsch]

Taylor: I take it from your text tone the gig is up, is it? This life can't compare to the one you found I get it. You go live out your fantasy being a fish wife. Im definitely jealous of a filming location right now. But you know we can go back? You and I?

Taylor: Look, I’m not saying our daughter is running a syndicate, but there ever comes a day the FBI knocks on our door, I may be turning her in immediately. I’m too pretty for prison, Dakota.

Taylor: To answer your very serious and completely valid questions, you might want to brace yourself before you check your closet, she wanted to play dress up a bit. I can replace anything in there is the good news. Let’s just say River has a very avant-garde vision for your heels. And she terrifies me when I say no.

Taylor: I think she honestly came out of the womb with a blueprint for all this and that attitude. I am not blaming you but I am saying you are the one with less rules so. But on another note this empty house will soon a little less lonely and that is a nice thought. River and I can't wait till you get back.

[dakotajchnson]

DAKOTA: Babe, one more week and I'm done filming. It's crazy how quickly time passes. I'm going to miss Stromboli but at the same time, I can't wait to go back home and sleep in my own bed, with you. After I'm done I'm going to need a 10 hour nap, with you cuddling me, of course. / @tcylorkitsch

[tcylorkitsch]

Taylor: It honestly feels like you just started filming yesterday, but also not at the complete same time. I’ve missed you like crazy. Stromboli looks absolutely gorgeous on film, but it definitely sounds like time to bring you home.

Taylor: You have a standing appointment for the bed soon as you walk in the door. Maximum coziness, zero alarms, and all the cuddles you could want. Soak up the final days on set andI can't wait to have you back.

[limelightlowden]

No sure they're quite ready for us to be best mates, though, which will make their eventual realisation even more entertaining. Aye, definitely shit oot of luck. I'll try tone me accent down a wee bit for ye, but cannae promise it.

[tcylorkitsch]

That is true, don't know how much competition that draw out in theme. How do the italians find it? Like to be fair and all you are the worst accents for me to understand, and I falsley and blindly assume you cant understand each other

[jcdam]

wait, did i see correctly? was there a friday night lights reunion recently? reboot when???? @tcylorkitsch

[tcylorkitsch]

Yes there was in the last couple of days there was. It's crazy to think it's been twenty years now. I couldn't be there because of scheduling issues but several of the people there I know have been tapped for it. Pete and I talked about and I might have said no. Know that's going to be a hard one for everyone to hear.

[tcylorkitsch]

( text | @dakotajchnson ) Hey, I love you 😘

{ text } Hey I love you too babe. You holding up there at work today?

[kitschedwards]

:)

[limelightlowden]

Ye sure are, pal. We're bonded because oor wives are best mates, that's just how it works. We're destined to be best mates, too, ye see. Sounds like we're riding tandem, then, ye gonnae love it. Ye want me to translate meself? Or just talk in an English accent so ye have any clue what am saying? Doesnae sound fun.

[tcylorkitsch]

It does help seeing each other more, the fact they are working together. Maybe more so? That sounds cocky to say. This will be one hell of a memorable afternoon. All I picked up from that is Im shit out of luck and this is how it's going to continue more than anything.

[scngyuqis]

oh! that definitely makes sense to me. please, i love that. i know some books don't need to be made into a movie or series even though i'd love it to happen especially if they can do so accurately to the book. i'm glad to hear that! definitely draws you in when it goes towards a certain theme your drawn to i'm sure. it did honestly! very insightful as well.

[tcylorkitsch]

There is a fine line of just redoing a book or making your own thing. Think it vastly depends on the source material which one is the right call in the moment. Yeah certain characters these days, I may be boxed in a little but it's not a horrible place to be either.

[jortcga]

i couldn't sleep the other night, which...what's new? i stumbled upon the movie the covenant. now i'm processing the fact that i had no idea you played a witch, though i was confused that they weren't called warlocks since usually they are when it comes to men. @tcylorkitsch

[tcylorkitsch]

Oh that old thing. Shit I feel embarrassment for you in this circumstance. I love that you are contemplating a plot point on a D list movie here

[kordeiblvrd]

i don't think we've ever met. i'm normani from fifth harmony. i'm a fan of your work and i hope i don't come across as a weirdo fan or anything. @tcylorkitsch

[tcylorkitsch]

Hey there! Wait am I the right Taylor you meant to get? Im the Friday Night Lights guy... It is a pleasure to meet you though absolutely.

[dakotajchnson]

The sudden, firm jerk of his hands at her waist caught the breath right in her throat. Dakota’s hips pressed flush against his, the heat of his palms soaking straight through the thin fabric of her bikini and onto her bare skin. She refused to look shaken, but the sudden, heavy thud of her own pulse against her ribs betrayed her. He was shifting the tempo, reclaiming the upper hand with that effortless, heavy dominance she always craved. His rough, gravelly voice sending a wave of electric shivers down her spine, Dakota involuntarily let her eyes flutter shut for a split second. Then came his hand, tracing a slow, agonizing path up her ribs before his fingers tangled deeply into the hair at the back of her neck. The possessive pressure of his thumb forced her face up, locking her into his gaze. She stared directly into his dark eyes, watching them glitter with that unchecked hunger, her own gaze dropping to his mouth as his lips hovered a mere fraction from hers. She could taste the heat of his breath, warm and heavy in a way that made her knees feel entirely hollow.

“I’m planning on reminding you exactly who calls the shots,” she heard him say. A quiet, breathless laugh escaped her, but the signature smirk didn't leave her face. Instead, it turned entirely wicked. "Is that a threat, Taylor?" she whispered against his lips, refusing to give him the satisfaction of the kiss just yet. With a quick, fluid movement, she slipped out from beneath his hand at her neck, her fingers sliding down his arm until her hand wrapped tightly around his wrist. She didn't give him a chance to reset his grip. Maintaining absolute eye contact, she began to back up, leading him toward the shallow end where the wide stone steps descended into the blue water. The first step hit her ankles, the shock of the water being a contrast to the brning heat of his skin, but she didn't break her stride. She pulled him down into the plunge pool with hr, the water rising up to swirl around her waist, then her ribs, instantly dampening the ends of her long hair.

The moment his feet hit the bottom of the pool, Dakota closed the distance before he could react. She used his own momentum to guide him backward until his shoulder blades hit the edge of the pool wall. Before he could reclaim control, she pressed herself entirely against him, letting the water lift her just enough to wrap her arms securely around his neck. "So..." Dakota said, her voice dropping into a low, whispery purr that was entirely seductive, her eyes locked onto his darkened gaze. She didn't wait for him to answer. Leaning forward, she buried her face in the crook of his neck, pressing her lips firmly against his heated skin. The scent of him, the Napa sun, clean sweat, and pure Taylor, flooded her senses. "You're the one who calls the shots?" she questioned softly against his skin, her teeth lightly gracing his pulse point with just enough pressure to make him feel the edge of her smile.

[tcylorkitsch]

The sudden press of her body against his came unexpected, he wouldn't show the surprise he was suppressing inside, no his face was keeping it as mysterious as he did before, careful to not change a fleck in his features. Those eyes of his still dark and lingering on her face in a gaze that believed this was no threat to his upper hand. The water both cool and chlorine tinged in smell swirled around them, proved little to be effective in diminishing any of the heat between them. ust like her dressing into this skimpy little bikini meant to feel cool and refreshing but just made the heat more real. The plunge pool just highlighted the contrast of her mouth against his skin, nothing cooling and everything that felt like a hot lightning, a abrupt shock of searing heat. Taylor’s head snapped back slightly chin coming up longer hair falling back while her teeth grazed his pulse, something of a low guttural growl allowed to come from his vibrating throat.

He would let her have this moment of triumph, letting her think the sudden shift in momentum had flipped the script. His shoulder blades rested against the cool smooth paved stone wall of the pool, his arms were just floating beneath the surface of the water. His body may project that his muscles has completely relaxed, but there is a palpable tension, a sense of letting her lure herself in and get enough of a higher bar so he could crush all such thoughts of control and upper hand with one unfailing snap. "You think you're clever, don't you?" Taylor murmured, his voice a rough and projecting the stire of thoughts in his mind. He didn't try to pull his head away from her mouth. Instead, his hands soon found her waist, skin soft he could tell even under the reflecting small ripples, Just below the water line his large palms helped to anchor her against him securely so, well more so every delicious curve of her there. That there was also no backing away or getting from this. She couldnt cower away from what she herself started. The water may have aided her but his grip made her completely immovable.

Slowly, deliberately, he tilted his head, so that his lips could speak right to the shell of her ear. "You can play your little games, Dakota," he breathed, his voice dropping to a velvet whisper that promised nothing but dark trouble. His thumb hooked into that string of her bikini bottom, just enough to apply a firm, possessive downward pressure with his thumb into her hip "Bu you have certainly forgotten one important thing" Shifting his weight, his thigh slid between hers bleu tinted water sinking it beneath the surface, effectively pinning her against the wall with the sheer in a way he was very proud of. The effortless dominance returned in a heartbeat, erasing the illusion of hers. Taylor pulled back just to look down at her, meet her in the eyes when he sense his own were glittering with the dark dangerous amusement he now entertaining. "I let you lead me down here," he whispered, his lips almsot brushing hers as he spoke directly tot hose full pink lips of hers but refused full contact. "Which means I'm still the one directing the scene or are you going to find out what happens when I lose my patience?"

[limelightlowden]

Aye, but even so, always feel bad no keeping up with the folks I care aboot. Shame it took getting hurt for ye to learn that lesson, but better ye learn it now than before it's too late, eh? Get intae cycling instead. Let's go for a cycle together, can confirm it's even more fun in Italy. Just make sure ye got comfortable shorts or the cobbles are gonnae ruin yer baws.

[tcylorkitsch]

Well I appreciate the sentiment there I am someone you care about. Eh hence the easy agree with giving up the motorcycle. Ugh sounds so one speed..I am Canadian and I have zero clue about the shit you saying after bike. The scottish doesnt trasnfer.

[hayleyfm]

That's really sweet - even if you're married... still getting to have a deeper connection with your partner. Is it? I thought I told you... or Dakota would have said something but yeah, I've got a boyfriend. Brandon Sklenar... I think you'd like him.

[tcylorkitsch]

Right? I feel like that bit of life is never just over with or just completed you know? I am sure she has and it's slipped my mind. How's it going? Obviously good

[luhems]

madness, isn't it? hey, nothing wrong with that. sometimes being a family and partner kind of dude is the best kind of life. i've only got 1 of those things happening right now and it's everything to me. what's wolf about? fill me in here. actually, fill me in on the other two while you're at it, please and thank you.

[tcylorkitsch]

Sometimes you fall into the hole of it and that is nice when it happens. Just focusing on them. Really? Im happy for you. Wolf was a prologue to Terminal List a lot about my character from that, who he was before he became a villain of sorts.
