006.

"BELLS, ARE YOU IN THERE?" there were loud knocks on the door that made arabella take her hands off of drew. how did they get here? well, that's a long series of events. they were supposed to start shooting in an hour or two when drew had showed up to her room to ask for a wine opener. all arabella could think of was how anybody could be drinking wine at two in the day, but still gave the wine opener she carried with her to him.

he asked if she wanted some wine and she declined, they got to talking while he poured some for himself in a coffee mug - which was the only glass in the room at the moment. they talked about shooting the panic attack scene which was a crucial part because that was rafe and lila's first meeting. he asked her if she knew about method acting, and she just gave him a look, he then realised who he was talking to. he asked if she wanted to practice, she said yes. they knew the flow of dialogues, not by heart so they improvised a little while sticking to the key things in the script. 

he looked like he was having an actual panic attack and arabella hugged him, like lila did when she saw him having one on the beach and she calmed him down like it was supposed to be in the script. in the end only did she realise that drew was a much better actor than she thought, they did multiple run-throughs. they even practiced the scene when lila threatens rafe to kill him, a scene that arabella was a little nervous to practice. as lila, she threatened him to stay away from her and not mess her life up more and as rafe, he pulled her in and started to touch her.

drew was more of a gentleman, so he didn't really touch her like in the script. it was kind of nice, but arabella denied to believe that he had a few green flags. in the end of the scene, she was supposed to hold him by his collar and threaten him to kill him after taking the gun he had from him. she just used her fingers instead and kept them on his head, saying her dialogue, flashing him the psychotic smile and having the devil's look in her eyes. it was weird how his face flushed and that made her nervous. for some reason, they just stood like that. he was tall, he must have been a foot taller than her at least - which was one reason she had to be on her toes while filming the scenes where they had to show some forms of intimacy. 

her hand dropped from his head to his collar, he was wearing a white button down with a fresh buzz cut from a few days back. she felt that annoying people like him should not be allowed to be hot, camila agreed with her too. she held onto his collar like some weirdo while he just stood there. he didn't look anywhere they just made eye contact for a few seconds when the loud knocks on the door began. she dropped down to her feet and her hands dropped to her side, she run to look through the peephole, it was rudy. she signalled him to hid in the closet and then mouthed the same words, while he looked at her with a dumbfounded expression for a second, she mumbled that it was rudy in a whisper. "so?" and by that time his knocking speed was increasing.

arabella opened the door after shooting a glare at him. she didn't want rudy to think that something was going on, especially after their karaoke performance. "hey-" but rudy stopped after seeing him, "drew?" rudy was pointing at him, while drew just stood awkwardly. "we were practicing for today's scene," arabella said and drew nodded. "yeah, we were." "oh, i just came to ask where he was and to tell you guys that we're shooting the panic attack scene on the cliff now," rudy's finger was sticking out as he switched his positions to point at both of them when he spoke. 

"okay, cool."

they were wearing big jackets. correction: arabella was in a big jacket, drew's jacket fit him perfectly. they had been standing on the cliff running their lines as the crew set the cameras up, it was cold for this time of the year but arabella didn't really mind because the jacket was cozy. she had gotten her make up done a few minutes ago and was wearing a bikini top with some denim shorts, but the jacket covered everything till her upper knee. drew was wearing a black button up with some shorts, his sleeves were rolled up and he had been told not to touch his face at all because of the dark circles they'd made below his eyes and all that.
