A love of characters | Jenna Ortega

A sweet little relationship (pt. 5)

Emma's pov:

-"ok I think that was good, whatcha think Tim?"
Amanda asks, setting down her script.
-"huh? Hm? Oh yes. Yes good work everybody"
Tim says, fumbling over his sketch book. Amanda smiles clearly annoyed.
-"okayyy let's start the fittings, Emma after you get your uniform go to room 3 so your makeup artists can run through a couple ideas with you and Tim"
She says. I nod and just like that we're dismissed.
-"oh yeah Jenna! We need to go over hair styles"
I hear Amanda say and I stay back just a bit in hopes of walking with Jenna to uniform fittings.
-"hairstyles?"
She laughs.
-"isn't it just 2 braids?"
-"that's what I thought but Tim likes things done a certain way"
I hear Amanda say.

Jenna's pov:

I notice Emma by the door and decide to wrap my conversation up.
-"got it, well if you'll excuse me I'll go grab my uniform"
Amanda nods and I take off. I notice Emma slowly walking and decide to walk up next to her. I hum a bit, nonchalantly.
-"...oh! It's you!"
I say, as if I'd just noticed her.
-"omg hi Jenna! I hadn't realized you'd stayed behind"
What a lie.
-"oh yeah, Amanda just wanted to talk to me about Wednesday's hair"
She nods.
-"yeah I gotta go through a few ideas on Enid's makeup"

-"so I heard"
I reply. We continue walking, enjoying each other's company, until we reach the fitting room.
-"ok Jenna, THERE you are!"
A lady says, grabbing me to take me off.
-"oh! Umm guess I've gotta go, I'll see you later Emma!"
I say, bring dragged off.
-"bye!"
I hear her reply as she too gets taken off to get a uniform.

Emma's pov:

During the fittings I ended up talking to a few more of my coworkers, including Joy who will be playing Bianca Barclay, and George who I had already talked with who is playing Ajax.
-"alright Emma, your done"
The costume lady says, with a smile.
-"thanks! I'll see ya around guys!"
I say, excusing myself from the three of them.
-"bye Emma!"
They all reply, basically in unison. I then begin walking to find Tim and my makeup artists. It was room 3 right..?
-"Emma!"
I hear someone yell, placing their hand on my shoulder and I feel my soul almost leave my body from fear.

-"oh sorry, I didn't mean to startle you"
My fear melts away as I realize it's just Jenna.
-"no no it's fine, sorry you just caught me by surprise I guess"
I say with a relieved laugh. She smiles.
-"where ya headed?"
She asks.
-"I'm trying to find Tim so we can go over my makeup, room....3 I believe?"
-"oh I know where that is, I'll show ya. Besides I gotta find Tim too"
I smile and nod, happily accepting her offer and we continue walking down the hall.

Jenna's pov:

We reach room 3 where Tim is sketching in his notebook. Sure enough Emma's makeup artists are ready and waiting.
-"hi"
Emma says, entering the room. The makeup artists introduce themselves and she takes a seat.
-"o-oh! Miss Ortega!"
One of them says, noticing me. Tim looks up from his drawing.
-"oh hello Jenna"
He says.
-"h-hi"
I say, with a slight wave. My face blushing from embarrassment.
-"is it time to go over your hair style?"
He asks.

-"oh! Um whenever your done with Emma"
I say, gesturing to her.
-"oh it's fine, I'll just come back when they're done"
He replies.
-"I-I'm not in a rush sir, maybe I can just get Tara and Nirvana to come in here as well"
I say, in an attempt to get him to stay so he can give Emma the attention she deserves. It shouldn't all be about me. Tim thinks for a moment.
-"sure, go fetch them"
He says. I smile and exit the room.

Emma's pov:

The girls began working on my makeup and Tim turned down the first look, even after they added the bleached wig. They began working on the next look when Jenna came in. I peaked an eye open with a smile as I gave her a wave. She returned the gesture and sat down as Tim began examining her hair. Tara, one of Jenna's hair stylists and makeup artists helped touch up my makeup as well.
-"what if we just..."
Suddenly I hear scissors snip and I instantly open my eyes to see Tim has just cut Jenna's hair. He stands up straight and looks at her for a moment.
-"ok, now add the wig"
He says, and the hairdressers do so.
-"thank god I didn't have to cut my real hair"
I whisper under my breath and my makeup artists laugh.

On the third look Tim looks at me.
-"stand"
He says and I do so. He takes his sketch pad out and doodles briefly. He then smiles and begins clapping.
-"yep. This is Enid"
He says with a warm smile, clearly pleased. I smile, genuinely happy and relieved he liked it.
-"ah! And of courseeee here's our Wednesday!"
He says excitedly, helping Jenna from her seat. I try to look without making it obvious but she turns to me anyways and my jaw almost drops and my eyes can't help but widen.

Jenna's pov:

woah. Enid...Emma... whatever I'm looking at right now is gorgeous. The makeup is surprisingly subtle but it's a mix of a salmon pink and a nice blue eye shadow. She looks cute and I can't tell if it's makeup or if her cheeks are naturally flushed right now as she looks at me with an awkward smile as she pats her sides.
-"you uh....you l-look great!"
She says, I look down at my attire and remember that I too just got my makeup done.
-"oh. Yeah you too"
I say in a more flirty tone, shooting her a smile and I can almost swear shes blushing. She awkwardly laughs and directs her gaze back to Tim.

Oh gosh, I hope I'm not making her uncomfortable....

Emma's pov:

Pull it together Emma! WHAT is wrong with you?? There is no way Jenna FREAKING ORTEGA is flirting with you! She's just being nice...Ughhhhh but she's so damn prettyyy! Hopefully this is almost over so I can go. Tim observes us for a moment longer.
-"what happened?"
He asks.
-"huh?"
We both reply, equally as confused.
-"something changed with your chemistry. But I can't determine what changed or why"
He states, looking at us some more. Crap. I'm definitely the issue here.

-"w-we're just uh...SO blown away by our costumes!"
Jenna says.
-"r-RIGHT!"
I chime in.
-"it's truly great, all so surreal now, like we're finally in character"
I continue with a slight laugh. Jenna smiles again as she looks at me.
-"hmm. Actors"
He says, and then walks off. Me and Jenna then bust out laughing until it's broken up by the sound of Jenna's phone buzzing.
-"oh, my mom's waiting for me"
She says.

-"but uh I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable or anything"
She says, with genuine concern.
-"n-no! I'm sorry I'm just awkward I guess, I'm so sorry"
She smiles again. Wow I'm really falling for that smile of hers.
-"don't be sorry, I'm just glad your not uncomfortable around me"
