I re-read the script one last time, and my heart is still pounding out of my chest. I focus on my breathing again, trying to calm myself down. I have to keep my shit together for the scene.
I glance at Walker across the room, and he gives me a reassuring smile. He pulls something tiny out of his pocket, and holds it up so i can see. They're breathmints. I roll my eyes at him and start to giggle as he swallows two of them. I take a sip of water as my throat feels dry.The director announces that the shooting will begin.
I close my eyes, exhale deeply, and make my way up to the spot im supposed to stand on. I look at walker and he looks back at me, giving his signature thumbs up. I've managed to slow down my breathing, and wait for the director to shout action as i say my lines in my head. The scene is the opposite of the way I actually am. Annabeth is supposed to make the first move and kiss Percy. I don't have that type of confidence, but as an actor, I'll make it work. Somehow.
"Aaaand 3..2...1... action!!"
......
I take a deep breath, and start my lines."You got something to say to me, seaweed brain?"
I raise an eyebrow, trying to look confident yet conflicted"You'd probably kick my butt." Walker looks me in the eyes, and the realness of this all kicks in again. Its gonna happen.
"You know i'd kick your butt." I listen to walker go on about the river Styx.
"Nico said i had to concentrate on one thing that kept me anchored to the world, that made me want to stay mortal."
"Yeah..??" I keep my gaze up, looking at the "sky". It's all building up now.
He explains what happened on Olympus, how he could become a god, but turned it down.
"I didn't want things to stay the same for eternity, because things could always get better. And i was thinking....." he scrapes his throat.
I dig up the courage to keep going. "Anyone in particular?" My face goes red, luckily it matches the scene. I smirk.
"You're laughing at me!"
"I am not!!"
"You are so not making this easy."I laugh, and i wrap my arms around Walkers neck. Oh my god. Its gonna happen. This cant be real.
"I am never, ever gonna make things easy for you, seaweed brain, get used to it."
I move my face closer to his. We're only 6 centimeters away from each other. My breath is shaky. Oh my god, Its happening.
I kiss Walker.
My lips land on his for the first time, and it feels unlike anything I've ever experienced before. Like two soft and warm pillows i wish i could never leave. We stay like this for a few seconds, until the voice of Dior, our friend and costar, shouts at us.
"Well it's about time!!"
As we get interrupted, the set gets filled with loads of campers, surrounding us. I open my eyes, and look at Walker. He looks back at me with his beautiful blue eyes, and i didn't think it was possible for my face to turn even redder than it was, but it was burning up so much, i think you could bake an egg on it of you wanted to.
The campers hoist us up on their shoulders, and Walker complains,"Oh come on! Is there no privacy around here?"
Dior continues.
"The lovebirds need to cool off!!"
Another camper shouts, "The Canoe lake!!"The campers cheer, and carry us down the fake hill next to each other. I laugh, and so does Walker. Our fingers intertwine, and my hands feel warm. His hand is soft. This feels so nice, i wish it wasn't just pretend. I wish we could stay this way forever. I look over at Walker, and his cheeks are flushed as well. I cant tell if he secretly feels the same way as i do, but god, i hope he does.
We get dumped into the water together, still holding hands. And by 'water', i mean a big set up pool."Aaaaand....CUT!!! Good job everyone!"
There's another kiss coming up, but im still focused on this first one. I swim up for air, and swoop the strands of wet hair out of my eyes with a pounding heart banging on my chest. Before we can say anything, me and Walker have to swim up to the front of the pool to get further instructions from the director.
We have to fall down to the bottom of the pool, try to stay there, and kiss again. God, i don't think i can handle this. My head is already spinning from what just happened, and now i have to do it again. I try my best not to look at Walker until the scene starts again. Oh he'll know for sure. What am i doing?? I should be fleeing for the nearest exit right now. My stomach is filled with fluttering butterflies, and they just wont go away.The time has come again. I'm getting ready to experience this gut wrenching but lovely thing all over again. Ride the roller coaster of my emotions, with no end in sight.
"Aaaand 3...2...1... ACTION!!"
I take a deep breath before me and Walker fall into to the bottom of the pool. Annabeth is supposed to try and swim up again after they drop, so i do. Then, Walker grabs my hand, intertwining us for the second time. Here we go..again. My heart pounds as he uses his other hand to support my back as he pulls me down under with him. The hand he used to hold mine, has moved up to my face, cupping my cheek. He looks me deep in my eyes. My face feels red hot again, even in this underwater temperature. I close my eyes as he cocks his head and finally places his lips on mine again. But this feels different, somehow.
The bit of air collected in our lungs is now shared, and it feels like we've become one. This moment, real or not, is the definition of perfect. I feel the water flowing around us, like a liquid summer breeze, making me feel weightless. I place my hands on his chest, and i can feel his heart beating. This is so deceiving, yet as satisfying as can be. If i'd drown right now, i wouldn't even complain.
"Aaaand CUT!!"
....Crap.
