walking into work today was honestly difficult. i didn't want to go, i didn't wanna face everyone, including austin. i haven't spoke to him since saturday and it's now monday

right now i was just sitting in the back, watching austin do his thing on the stage

i felt movement by me so i looked up and saw luke "hey" i mumbled, looking back at all the cameras, shooting austin. which was his first scene preforming

"hey" he also said "we should talk about saturday, everyone thinks you and austin are together and i know y'all aren't but i do think we should just stay friends"

i smiled at him "that is exactly what i was gonna say"

"yeah?" his eyes shot from in front of him to me "i do have a question though"

i looked at him "shoot"

"do you like austin though? i know you say you two aren't a thing, but do you wish you were?" he asked me

i blushed and shrugged at his questions

"no shit" luke laughed "just so you know, the date he went on saturday didn't go well. he might have those same feeling for you" he said before walking away

um hold up, what? i thought. is that why he was so mad about me and luke going out?

"hey sky, over here!" baz snapped me out of my thoughts, waving me over to him and austin. i walked over to them with a smile on my face "so this might be difficult but i was thinking we should film yalls first scene today. because we're running a little behind on schedule"

i nodded, looking at austin then to baz "sounds good" i exclaimed, was it really? now i have to go to hair and make up

austin did the same, nodding and saying "yep"

after baz walked away and before austin did, i stopped him "hey" i smiled at him "you were great" i told him

"you watched?" he asked me "figured you weren't here yet"

"of course i watched, luke joine-"

i was cut off by him scoffing "of course you two were watching me together"

i stopped him again from walking away "we're not dating or anything, i don't like him"

"cool" was all austin told me "see you later"

"and then he said to me" i paused, taking a fake puff of a cigarette then blowing it out, ready to make my voice sound like an old man "you know what priscilla you gotta listen to me sweetie because this guy, he's got girls around the world okay? he's got girls waiting outside of his house"

i stopped tunring to look at him fully. he was in his army suit. he looked so fucking hot.getting ready to make my voice high pitch " in then mommy decided to pitch in and say oh what could he possibly seen in you? what do you too do all night?"

i looked at the door , hurrying to shut it half way when i saw people gasping at the sight of me and austin , which cause austin to giggle. well i guess it caused elvis to giggle "and i just said mom, dad we talk and listen to music okay? that's all. and they kept going on and on about that photo of you and natalie woods riding around that bike in memphis"

i raised my finger, walking to him and sat next to him, kinda snuggling into him a bit "and i said this really calmly, listen okay, he's just really lonely and and quite frankly so am i" i smirked "and then they didn't really know what to say so i went upstairs and went to bed"

austin smirked at me "i've never met anyone like you"he shook his head while he talked

"well i hope not" i said causing him to smike and look down "so what is natalie wood like?"

"she's nice, she's been writing me back, telling stories about working with james dean, god i hope that one day i'll be as good as him" austin stood up, heading to record player to play some music "the colonels promised me that when i get back he's gonna set me up in hollywood to be a serious actor"

"that's really what i dream of" austin voice spoke softly, his head then turned to the door

"hey e.p, e.p, now you promised the captain that you'd get her home by seven" chairlie said

austin walked to the door "hey charlie, what's that behind you?" he asked him then shut the door completely

"he don't boss me around" austin walked and stood by the window, so i moved over there too

he leaned his arm on the wall that was behind me as i spoke "i think if your dreaming, you'll do it" i looked into his eyes

right now i really wish we weren't filming

"you do?" austin asked with a smile, looking in my eyes, then his eyes moved to my lips for a second

"yeah" i mummerd, my eyes looking at his lips now

this is so magical, i thought. especially since 'i can't help falling in love' is playing in the background

we started to lean in, his breath hitting my skin. it took a second for us to actually kiss. but when my lips pressed against his i put my hands on his cheeks

"cut!" we heard baz yell, making us pull away from each other "that was absolutely amazing, no more takes! that was a one and done"

i smiled at baz and looked at austin, seeing that he was already looking at me
