I woke up from the sound of my ringtone after what felt like 20 minutes. I picked up my phone and found out I had slept for nearly 2 hours. Damn, didn't expect to be that tired after such a short flight. "Y/n." I said when I answered the phone, yawning quietly. "Hi y/n, it's me Dan. I just called to let you know that everyone is starting to arrive on set. They've already asked about you so I think it's best if you leave soon." As he was talking I jumped out of bed and walked to the bathroom where I put my phone on the sink to check myself in the mirror. God I look awful right now. "Y/n? Did you hear me just now?" I grabbed my phone again and put it to my ear. "Yeah, yeah I heard you. I'm getting ready as we speak. I'll be there in 30 minutes."

After a quick shower and some breakfast I brushed my teeth and practically ran out the door.
Once outside I stopped a cab and hopped in whilst telling him where I needed to go.
"That's not very far from here though ma'am, it's only a ten minute walk." the cab driver said. "I know, I know, it's just that I'm in a hurry at the moment. I'm already kind of late." Why can't the guy just take off for god's sake.
"Alright, whatever you say." He commented after which he started driving.

I arrived on set 3 minutes later, paid the driver and thanked him for the ride.
Before I could enter the building someone stopped me. "Sorry miss, i can't let you in here." a quite tall woman with a black suit and sunglasses stood in front of me. "Oh, well I arrived a bit late but I'm pretty sure that this is where I need to be. This is where they are recording for a new movie isn't it?"
I looked at her with a polite smile and grabbed my phone to send Dan a text. "Yes it is. I'm just simply not allowed to let anyone in without a valid work pass or written authorization." At that exact moment I saw Dan running towards the doors to let me in.
"It's okay Clara, she's with me." He held open the door and I walked past the, still intimidating, woman who just gave us a small nod before turning her back to the door again.
"You guys have some serious security measures here don't you?" Definitely not something I'm used to. "Well we kind of have to, considering the actors that are inside this building as we speak." Dan said as he continued walking, almost running you could say, in front of me. Whilst we were on our way to the meeting room I took my time to look around the set for a bit, and it was beyond incredible. The size of it, the details, everything was so amazing.
Before I knew it we had arrived in a room full of people, from actors to crew to catering, everyone was there. Alright y/n, whatever you do, DON'T embarrass yourself.
I scanned the room looking for some familiar faces and immediately landed on, you can probably already guess, Alan. He looked so good, wearing a black t-shirt, jeans and those typical converse sneakers.
"Y/n? Are you ready to meet some of the crew? Also the cast if you're up for it." Dan suddenly spoke which made me stop staring at Alan.
"Yes! Yes of course. I would love to." I replied giving him a polite smile and turning to follow him.

After what felt like an eternity, I had met most of the crew and also some members of the cast. There was only one person left that I really wanted to meet but hadn't yet, and Dan was on his way to ask him if he had some time. This is going to be a disaster if I can't keep it together.
I took a sip of my drink and got my phone out of my pocket to check some messages. At that exact moment I heard a very distinct voice coming towards me. I looked up and instantly made eye contact with the most handsome man I had ever seen in my life. "Y/n I presume? Alan, pleasure to meet you." He subtly pointed at himself after which he held out his hand to shake mine. I froze for two seconds but quickly redeemed myself and shook his hand. "The pleasure is all mine, sir." My voice almost trembled because of my nerves. I softly smiled at him and let go of his hand.
"Is this the first big film project you are going to work on?" Dan probably told him about me when they were walking towards me, god. "It is yes. That shouldn't hold me back though, I'm very excited to be working here! The concept is amazing, and the people working on it, simply incredible." Whilst talking I maintained eyecontact with Alan and he just gave me a very gentle smile and understanding look the entire time.
"Well, they obviously hired you for a reason. I'm looking forward to working with you, very interested to see how you go to work here." He raised his glass a little bit as a sign that he was leaving again.
"Likewise." I answered and gave him a small nod after which he turned and walked back towards where he was standing at first.
I didn't even realize I was holding my breath until he walked away and I released it.
"Alright, you've basically met everyone now. What do you think?" Dan went to stand in front of me and picked up his drink from the bar.
"I love it. This is going to be the best experience of my life, I'm sure of it." I downed the rest of my drink and put the empty glass on the bar.
Dan started laughing and gave me a pat on my shoulder. "You can stay here for a bit longer if you want to but it's also okay to go back to your place. Most people are already gone anway."
I took that as an opportunity and picked up my jacket from one of the barstools. "Then I think I'm going to take off, it's been a pretty long day." I made sure to smile and wave at some of the people I met, and also caught myself mostly looking for Alan. He was nowhere to be found though, so I just decided to walk outside. Clara was still standing in front of the doors and greeted me with yet another simple nod when I walked past.
You know what, that went surprisingly well.
