Ughhhhhhhh as I stretched in bed , it feels like an eternity since I've slept like a baby , without buzzing alarm on my head . I was automatically in a good mood today. 

I lazily strolled to the kitchen for my daily dose of caffeine and  start scrolling through my messages and emails . As hotel was booked tonight for the event , I was not required there till evening . The day flew by quickly as the clock strike 3 ' when I reached home from weekly grocery purchase .Now , thats exactly 2 hrs till I need get to International . I slumped in my bed and started scrolling through the messages, just then Terry's message pops up -

 " Em , there's a little change of plans ".

"And what is that Terry?" I replied .

" Girl, you know how important this event for International is , so Linda instructed everyone to be in little retro makeover , so everyone can kinda melt into  the theme of the movie ".

"Alright Terry , lemme see what I can do". I replied .

Aaaahhhh.... this women wont let me have a moment of peace.Its already quater past 3 , 'I should start getting ready 'i said in a huff. I quickly took shower and started scrolling for an inspiration .I decided on the look like Priscilla Presley , you  know what could be better than looking like your favourite singers beloved ! 

Half way through I, realised Its way too much effort for what I am doing there. I should've gone for a simpler one. Last few touches and few more dashes of hairspray ,I was done and was chanting silent prayers that my hair wont turn into a nest by the evening .

I took a quick glance at the watch , it's 5 PM already, Jamie should be here any minute.

 I took last few glances at myself and packed my essentials for the day. Soon I was interrupted , by a knock on my front door quickly slipping into my work heels, I make my way to the door.

"Hey Jamie " I smiled.

"Hey Presley " I blushed at his comment . "You cleaned up well , big boy." I arched my brows . Jamie gave me a shy smile " Thanks Emi  ". 

" We should get going Emi ".he insisted .I took a quick glance at my place and locked the premises . " lesgoo" I chirped .

The ride to International was peaceful , we indulged in little conversations mostly about work and my studies . As we were taking turn towards the International, the main entrance was bussing with line of paparazzis , reporters ,tmz and whatnot. . 

Thank god, Terry has opened back gate of basement for us. "You coming"? I asked Jamie as I got out. "I'll be there in few , you go ahead Em ". he replied .

 As I entered the hall, stress can be felt in the air - shouting Linda ,employs running like chickens and a nervous Terry saying yes to every word of Linda. I silently prayed, to get through this evening sanely . 

Its now , 9 in the evening and guests on red carpet have started  to arrive , I've heard many famous actors and producers are out there . Alas, I am here in kitchen garnishing plates ....Wonderfull.......

"Hey Em have you seen the trailer ? "Jamie asked  "umm no , what so special about this one " ? I shrugged. 

" Its ELVIS " he replied , that really caught my attention  "Its his biopic, the crew is outside Baz Luhrmann , even Priscilla Presley came for the screening " he continued, I  couldn't  believe what he was saying for a moment . Being in a room with something who has lived an era with Elvis was a true bliss ,that just  made my happiness go offcharts. 

"Hey Jamie , plz lemme be in the screening hall , I can make myself useful there ." I wined giving him my puppy eyes. 

" Sweety , I can't promise you that but , I assure you can see them at dinner after movie ". He cooed .
