So it isn't every day you find yourself in a house about to be filled with actors from your favorite tv show and here i am crinkled from sleeping off the headache ,my hair is probably sticky upy and i dread to think what kind of state my eyeliner is in . Yet here i am smiling back at matt smith as he walks under the balcony of my room to enter the house,i feel like i swallowed a hamster, HA HA  yes donna quote ,loved that character.

I quickly slipped an oversize t-shirt on over the creased vest top i'm wearing, i don't wanna look a complete mess when i go down but since i still feel a little ill thay can't expect me to be dolled up to the max either.Not that it really matters what i look like ,even with my lip piercings and red and black hair i will fade into the background among the no doubt gorgeous actresses who are gonna be arriving.

I make a bee line for the kitchen as i hit the bottom of the stairs,jessica and matt are in the front parlor with a few people whos names i don't know.I'm about to grab some coffee when a scary looking woman in kitchen whites takes me by the arm and frog marches me into the parlor ,releasing my arm all she says is " out of my kitchen" in her loud bellowing voice. This of course got the attention of everyone in the room, all eyes were on me as i flinched at her volume and quickly looked at the floor.

"head up amy , ignore her i'll dok her pay for tonight if she says so much as one more word to you hun" jessica said while looking straight into the head caterers eyes.

I just nodded and lifting my head a little saw a man walking over, it was moffet. "come on kiddo, you look about ready to drop,sit yourself down " he said as he guided me by the elbow to one of the arm chairs around the coffee tables.

"In the kitchen looking for coffee? here" jessica handed me a large cup and filled it with my fuel of choice. "how's your head ?"

"Much better thanks , sorry to interupt " i replied taking a sip .

"There was no interuption my dear,we're all here to relax and meet people it's that damd woman who should be apologizing , not you"

I just gave him a small smile and carried on drinking my coffee,letting it soak into my body and raise me from my half dead state.

"so do you have a name " a sudden voice came , i'd know that voice anywhere it had a smile behind it. matt was looking at me from across the coffee table waiting for me to answer.

I sat forward a little collecting the courage to speak "amy, i'm jessica's cousin just visiting various family i have here for a while" 

"amy , nice name " he said sitting back in his seat ." you can call me matt, never matthew, only my mum calls me that ,and only when i'm in trouble" he added smiling

I will admit i let out a small giggle,so sue me a cute guy cracks a joke to me i turn into a girl.

I drank down the rest of my coffee while the others talked amongst themselves,but as i got up to pop out for a smoke someone spoke to me.

"are we that boring your leaving us already" it was moffet

"no after coffee a have to feed my nicotine habit , besides i don't wanna hear everything that's gonna happen in the show , i'd like to watch it to find out" i said with a smile

I'd almost made it to the front door when i felt hands on my shoulders and jumped out of my skin, i even let out a squeeking sound. It was matt, what was it with him and having me make girly sounds,first i giggle now i squeek.

"sorry didn't mean to make you jump" he said , he was obviously trying not to laugh." can i join you"

" sure " i said handing him my packet of cigerettes, i didn't know he even smoked.

We stood in silence for a minute or two before we heared a crash then shouting from inside "ooh,someones getting it in the neck from the mad woman" matt commented

" rather them than me ,i feel sorry for whoever it is " i said cringing at the sound of the voices.

" she shouldn't have gone off at you like that,you seem shy it wasn't right. especialy dragging you out of the kitchen like that "

"i can understand where she's coming from,i worked in kitchens long enough to know how much one extra person can get in the way in a busy room" i replied shrugging.

"your not in the family business ,production and stuff then?"

"nope, i live in an old mining village in yorkshire ,i've only ever worked in bars and restaurants" i kinda clammed up a little expecting him to back away and excuse himself,but i was wrong.

"you can help me mix some killer cocktails for this lot tonight then, they are hilarious when they get hammered" he said exaggerating the hilarious part.

"what you thought i was gonna leave you on your ass because your not in the tv biz, so little faith tut tut amy, if anything it's a plus that your not toff nosed like a lot of the people who will be here tonight, they bore me silly sometimes"

Again i laughed, it's impossible not to smile around this guy.we still had the rest of the afternoon before the party actually began,matt and moffet were only here early because they were staying at the house too. It was still only lunchtime so i braved the kitchen along with moffet to grab some lunch,then i took myself off to the library.Yes i'm a bookworm, i love books weather it's as an escape in the form of a story or even referance and text books since i love to learn new things ,i used to want to be a vampire as a child just so i would have forever to learn about everything ever.

P.O.V. CHANGE...

I parked around back of the house, it has been a long time since i was last here, i was a different man back then but this place always takes me back and calms my chaotic mind. I spent a month or so here on my last visit,but that was many years ago.It was never so much the house i came for but one person, they arn't here anymore but the house holds the memory ,looks busy but i know where i'm headed ,to the library for now. I'll say hi to moffet and meet the new guy later.
