hi! it's finally friday omfg

also could you guys play the song when their scene starts? thanks

-

today is day one of filming.

and i couldn't be more nervous, but i'm also extremely excited.

i get to do what i love and after a few painful costume sizings, everyone is ready.

it's currently five-fifteen in the morning and i just got out of the shower, to be honest i feel like a whole new person.

me and austin's hair have both been dyed a blackish brown, and we both look completely different.

i was told i could wear whatever and that i'll change at the studio.

so i put on some sweats and a sweatshirt, before brushing my hair and running out of my room with my bags in my hand.

baz was very strict on us being early and not late.

austin is by the front door doing god knows what when i finally get down stairs and he turns to look at me.

"you ready?"

"hi everyone, today is day one of filming elvis and i think no one could be more excited. again, welcome to day one of elvis and, action!" baz snaps and the cameras turn to me and austin.

i stand by the fake window as i begin to say my lines.

"and then he said to me, you know what priscilla, you got to listen to me sweetie." i say and i pretend to inhale and exhale a fake cigarette.

"because this guy has girls all over his house, and girls writing him endless fan mail." i begin to walk closer to where austin is sitting. and i watch as he laughs.

i pace around the room, "and then mommy decides to pitch in and says, ooh, what could he possibly see in you? what do you two do in there all night?" i continue and austin rests his hand on the side of his face while he looks up at me.

an extra walks by the fake bedroom door and i walk over, shutting it halfway. which causes austin to do his elvis laugh, again.

"and i just said, mom, dad, we talk and we listen to music, okay? that's all. and then they were going on and on about that photo of you and natalie wood riding around on that bike in memphis." i say and i begin to pace again.

in my peripheral vision i see austin's eyes trained on me but i keep mine on the ground.

i say my next few lines before sitting down next to austin and i speak just above a whisper.

"and i said this really calmly, i said listen okay? he's just lonely and quite frankly, so am i." and i get closer to austin's face.

we maintain eye contact throughout the scene.

i say the rest of my lines that took me forever to memorize and there is a brief pause before it's austin's turn to talk.

"i've never met anyone like you." he says and i smirk.

"well i'd hope not." i whisper and look away.

"soo, what is natalie wood like?" i ask and he sighs.

he answers and while doing so i finally realize how similar he actually sounds to elvis.

i mean i know he spent months doing vocal training but still it's so baffling how similar he sounds.

he looks down towards his lap and does a little hand thing while smirking which makes me breath out a little laugh.

remembering we are still being recorded i focus back on my lines and what comes next.

i watch as he walks over to the window and crouches down. and suddenly i feel nervous because i know what's going to come next.

i'm going to have to kiss austin and i don't know if it's going to be awkward afterwards or just weird.

he begins the record player and then another extra appears from behind the door and says something, which causes him to shut the door in his face.

he walks back over to the window and closes the curtain, which is my signal to walk over there as well.

i walk next him and he almost traps me by resting his arm on the wall behind me, so he leans down towards me just a bit.

we stare passionately into each others eyes and i have to remember that it's just a scene for a movie.

"you know i think if you dream it you can do it." i whisper and the corners of his mouth quirk up for a split second.

"you do?" he asks.

i smile and nod "yeah."

for a few seconds we stand there looking into eachothers eyes before i look at his lips, starting to inch forward.

he does as well and slowly, teasingly, our lips barely touch as they graze eachother.

finally, our lips meet and it's the opposite from what i thought.

there's no tension, or awkwardness, it's just us.

his lips are soft, and the kiss is slow, our lips barely moving but instead, their almost just resting on eachothers.

after we finish the scene and baz says cut, our lips separate and when i open my eyes austin is staring at me.

i give him a warm smile, trying to tell him that i'm okay with everything that just happened.

and i watch as he returns it.

baz interrupts our little moment by walking towards us.

he claps his hands together and rests them under his chin, "great scene guys and even greater chemistry, what can i say?" he says and gives us a look.

i laugh and austin smiles.

"you guys are free to go home, just change out of your costumes first please." he says and i nod.

when he turns around and leaves i face austin and he's of course, already looking at me.

i want him to know as much as possible that i don't want to be awkward.

but when my eyes meet his all my confidence disappears and all i can seem to say his "hey."

he laughs "yeah i know i have that effect on women." he says and i roll my eyes, shoving his shoulder.

"shut up." i mutter with a smile, which causes him to chuckle.

andd we're back.

"i'm going to change out of this, meet me back home?" i say and he nods.

"see ya."
