I looked down at my watch and noted the time; 15 minutes to my audition. I was re-reading the script of the hour in practice, though I knew the scene by heart I couldn't help myself. The perfectionist in me was screaming, the scene I was reading today was a bilingual one, a love scene too so naturally it would have been helpful if the screenplay writer would have noted what the Russian part was saying as an insight, but I was not so lucky. I guess I should not be judging a working script which was yet to be finished.
Sighing deeply, I decided to give up and chucked the script onto the table, getting up I stretched out my back and that's when it happened. The door to my small dressing room opened slowly, I looked bemused towards it to see who decided to pay me a visit without knocking. I took a step forward and the culprit did the same, causing a crash unwittingly. Heaps of garment bags the small creature was holding crashing to the ground same time as she did into me, losing her step and falling. I tripped and fell with her, all I wanted to do was to stop this very thing from happening but despite her small size the creature took me out no problem.
It took me a moment to process as I felt her petite form on top of me. I looked down, she looked up, and shit, my world stopped. Her blue doe eyes stared back at me like I was otherworldly, I started to lose myself in them but I did not mind one bit. In that instant, her cheeks flushed a tantalizing shade of pink. God help me. She broke apart too quickly, I was still recovering from her insanely deep eyes as she began to scramble off of me and kneed me between my legs, if she did not take my breath away before, she certainly has now. I did my best to appear as though I was not in pain, and if I wasn't I would be laughing at the comic moment.
"Oh my, I am so sorry," her angelic voice calls out to me and I note a slight accent I cannot place but instantly fall in love with.
"I sure hope so, I am sure a tornado has less of a chance at killing me," I say recovering from my pain, can't help but chuckle as I see her on the floor next to me turning absolutely red from embarrassment, if this isn't the cutest thing I've seen! For a moment we just look at one another, her adorable face appearing to be processing all that happened and sure thing, she looks away first, oh how I wish she wouldn't. She begins to gather up the many garment bags she dropped in the process of taking me out,
"Let me help you with those," I say and attempt to do just that but before I can she cuts me off--
"No, no thank you, I can manage, you are not supposed to see me," she says taking the bag I was trying to help her with from me.
"Why am I not supposed to see you?" I can't help but laugh a little.
"Cruella does not want it," she whispers and instantly realizes I heard her as she looks up and her doe eyes grow wide with more embarrassment. She's too amusing, I chuckle yet again and say,
"Cruella, who's Cruella?" Her face grows red again and I can't help but smile at her.
"No one, do you know if this is warehouse 3?" she says trying to brush off my question and quickly gets up with the pile of bags in hand, I follow suit. Standing up, she looks up at me and I note how small and sweet she appears with those stupid garment bags of hers being the only thing shielding her from me. All too obviously she looks away from me and stares at the bags in her hands as though they are more interesting, is it possible to feel jealous of inanimate objects? Am I going crazy?
"Nope, this is my dressing room, warehouse 3 is opposite, I'm heading there myself, are you here for the audition too?" I gently say and lean a little towards her, amused, trying to catch her eyes which I was missing all too much already. Without luck, she still looks at those stupid bags as she answers me,
"No, I work in wardrobe, thank you for your help and I am sorry again," she speaks so quickly I barely have time to process as she begins to turn to get the door.
"Wait, let me get the door for you," I say, reaching for it the same time as her and our hands brush against one another, she shoots hers away, I wish I could have caught it, held it and never let it go... Instead I went for the door handle and opened it. She walks out in front of me and I try my best to ignore the feeling I get as I catch a glimpse of her body from behind, curves that were made to make me go insane. I tell myself to focus, you're here for an audition, focus. I open the door to warehouse 3 and we walk inside. She travels to the other end of the room where she begins to hang up her bags on some racks, I take a spot in front of my jury sitting at a table. This jury consisted of Rick; the director of this film which I would be happy to get, I would be playing a role not so typical for me and that is all I could hope for!
"You may begin when you are ready Henry," Rick says, camera guy already filming.
"Thank you," I say and take a breath doing my best to focus, ignoring my doe eye creature hanging up bags in the back of the room. Quickly, I realize I'm not ignoring her (I can't), but rather thinking of her as I get ready to say the lines that are all too romantic and I think to myself, she better not leave before I get a chance to read them!
