"see you later?"

"see you later." baz replies and i hang up the phone.

today is the first red carpet i've been too in a few months and it's the Cannes film festival, specifically for the elvis movie.

everyone is going including austin and it's in one hour, i couldn't be more excited.

there is supposed to be a ten-minute standing ovation and everything, pricilla and lisa marie presley will be there as well.

i'm wearing a gorgeous red celine dress and my hair is done in a somehow good-looking messy bun.

i don't know what austin is wearing because he's getting ready in a whole other room and we are arriving separately.

currently my makeup artists are doing their finishing touches and i study myself in the mirror.

i look gorgeous.

but i'm exited to see austin, i haven't seen him since yesterday cause he's been catching up on filming, and everyone left to go back home yesterday as well.

so i've pretty much been alone in the house all day, although i have been catching up on my piano and guitar skills.

a person to my right hands me a pair of simple black heels that i slide on with ease.

i stand up from my chair and they give me their final looks, then being satisfied with their work.

"thank you all so much." i say and all the artists nod their heads in thanks.

i grab my handbag and i exit the room, walking down the stairs and to the foyer where a huge limo sits outside, waiting for me.

i step out the door, raising my dress so it doesn't get dirty on the floor and i head for the limo.

the driver gets out and opens one of the many doors for me, i smile feeling all special and shit.

i carefully slide into the car and when i'm seated i pull my phone out from the handbag.

i open my contacts and i begin to send a text to austin.

austin doesn't answer my last texts and he's probably punching the air right now.

we're only a few minutes from the festival so i'm almost there and i get more and more nervous.

soon after the car comes to a stop and i look out the window to see that we are right outside of the carpet, there is a limo in front and it's probably austin.

i wait for the driver to open the door and when he does, i lift up the ends of my dress, getting out of the car.

i walk up to the carpet and where a few other cast members are like baz and i wait there.

someone wraps their hand around my wrist, spinning me around and i'm face to face with the pricilla presley.

"pricilla! hi!" i say and i bring her in for a hug.

"hello thea." she says, god i just love her voice, it's so elegant.

"you look gorgeous." i say and my eyes travel down her body, studying the dress she's wearing.

"thank you, so do you." she replies with a nod.

i'm about to say something but our conversation is interrupted when baz stops by, saying hello.

we converse for a few minutes before being told that it's time to head more inside.

i frown because i haven't yet seen austin but i comply anyways, following baz and a few bodyguards.

we circulate inside and we are led to a smaller room where everyone is gathered, and i'm only now realizing that the standing ovation is about to begin.

an announcer says a few things and the clapping begins, if i can dream by elvis floods through the speakers above.

it's almost ethereal.

i can't believe that im actually here.

that even though we aren't done filming, that i've successfully played the pricilla presley.

what an honor.

my eyes scan the room and my breath hitches when i connect eyes with austin.

my austin.

he's already look at me and has a huge smile on his face.

although it's a total cliche, the world around me blurs and it's only him.

gosh it's only him.

the word sits in my brain for a few minutes.

him. him. him.

mine.

i smile in all the chaos and he sends me a wink that makes my heart soar out of my chest.

i bite my lip and his eyes quickly trail down my body.

i let mine do the same and he's wearing a suit that hugs his torso perfectly.

we aren't close enough to talk but i'm sure when the whole ovation is over we will meet.

so i stand there, clapping and waiting.

because currently right now?

right now all i want to be is with him.

when the standing ovation finally ends and baz says a few thanks, everyone huddles out of the small room and in the midst of it all, i find austin.

he strides over to me and his hand connects with my waist, pulling me closer.

before i can refuse he smashes his lips onto mine, kissing me passionately and with a emotion that's similar to love.

although i doubt he'd say that to me anytime soon.

his lips are soft and his scent overwhelms me, but i like it.

i pull away and he rests his forehead against mine, "hi baby." he whispers and i grin at the newly founded nickname.

"hi baby." i whisper back and he bites his bottom lip.

"there's your kiss." he says and i laugh.

"thank you." i whisper and he nods.

"you look gorgeous." he says and grabs my hand, spinning me around, which causes me to laugh.

"you look very handsome." i reply, dusting off his tux.

"althea! austin! pose please!" someone from the crowd yells and we oblige, turning around so we can face the camera.

his hand wraps fully around my waist and pushes his body against my side, as we look at the camera.

i smile and he does the same, all i can think about is how fast i am falling for this man i call my boyfriend.

dailymail has posted an article!

the model and actor who plays pricilla, looked sensational in her red, halterneck dress, alongside fellow costar and actor, austin butler who plays elvis in the biopic.

the couple, who were first scene together a couple weeks ago, packed on the pda as they lovingly held each others face in front of the adoring crowd.

the couple being inseparable every since the public first saw them together.

they can't seem to help falling in, and showing, their love!

at the elvis after party, althea was seen making her way to the VIP area in a new dress where she found her way into austin's lap and kissed him on the lips.

we sure can't help falling in love after seeing these photos!
