Today the entire cast of my new movie, The Selection, are having dress fittings and photoshoots for the sponsors and the billboards. As it is centred around a competition to fall in love with a prince (based on the book) the dresses are that of an almost Royal standard.
Chloe and I's car pulls up by a huge warehouse where a ton of paparazzi wait, it is LA. The security climb out the front and help us into the crowd, then into the building.
"A! Chlo!" Elle runs up to us and hugs us. "One moment," She pauses to catch her breath. My eyes dart round my surroundings as I cast my eyes on gorgeous gowns and dresses that are placed round the room.
All tired we put ourselves on the floor, all leaning against each other and try to get some sleep. Nobody had come over dressed, we were all literally wearing pyjamas.
"Girls! We have got loads of different dresses to try, however we need Arri to go get her hair coloured and the rest of you can start trying stuff on!" The costumes director shouts and I get up and walk over to the makeup and hair area.
"Hello," Stella, the woman who expertly styles out hair, grins at me.
"Heya,"
"I heard you're needing red hair,"
"Yeah," I sigh as she pulls out a chair that I fall into.
"When shooting starts we'll just spray this stuff in every 4 days or so and then you just don't wash it."
"Cool," I smile again as Elle speeds past and hands me a coffee and breakfast.
My hair gets temporarily dyed red and styled into a braided updo for the photoshoots before I even get to the dresses which I'm walking to now.
"Okay A, let's get you into these. I'm gonna start with the huge one with the corset, just so you can learn to breathe in it." The seamstress in my area tells me.
"Great," I tell her as I begin to peel off my t-shirt. She helps me into the dress and ties the corset. "Oh my god," I breathe out.
"Okay, go get your makeup done!"
Everyone was scattered around in huge gowns, most collapsed on the floor.
"Arri! You look gorgeous!" Chlo squeals as we see each other.
"You do too! Have you sent a picture to your beau at all of this?"
"Pfft, no! You really think he's gonna pick up!"
"Omg look at you two!" Ariana walks up to us as we get make up done.
"I honestly can't breathe so I don't really know what to answer to that," Chloe says as we laugh around her.
"Arabella!" I hear yells for me across the room.
"Yup!"
"Get over here!"
"Okay!"
"We need you to put on these," The clothing designer slides out a pair of silver jewelled heels that I slide my feet into quickly before we start individual photos.
We move onto a group photo for the cover in our 'signature' outfits before changing for more shoots.
"Wait, Chloe switch with Ari!" The director shouts as people reorganise the curls in my hair.
We don't finish until 1:30am and I leave and head to the hotel. I end up staying up through the rest of the night responding to emails as Shawn lies asleep next to me. By the time it reaches 5am I'm only halfway through my emails and only just awake.
"A?" I hear a croak from the other side of the bed. I remain silent and hope Shawn will drift off.
"Arabella? What are you doing up?" He sits up as I slam my laptop shut.
"Nothing," I sigh and put my glasses on the top of my head.
"A, you should be asleep, put the laptop away."
"I can't,"
"A we have a plane journey tomorrow, you can do work then." He attempts to take the laptop but I place my hand over it to stop him.
"Go back to sleep Shawn, I can sleep on the plane." I respond stubbornly as I see Shawn sink back into the mattress slowly. I then feel something yank me down and screech as I hit the pillow.
"Shawn!" I slap his chest as he takes my laptop off me.
"Arabella!" He mocks as he pulls me into his chest.
"Ugh, you're so annoying." I moan as I push him off me.
"I know hun, I do it with purpose."
"Hardly," I fire back as several knocks slam against the door.
"Shut up! We're trying to get some sleep!" The voice yells as I begin to giggle.
"Arri!" Shawn hisses as I try to hide the noise of my laughs behind the duvet.
"Shawn!" I manage through my chuckles.
The same slams come a minute later; "There's an old man hitting my bedroom door, help!" Chlo's familiar voice makes it's way into our room.
"What are we supposed to do?!" Shawn yells back as I dissolve into mad hysterics again. Shawn slams his hand over my mouth and pulls me into his body as he continues his conversation with Chlo.
When he's finished he places his hand over my mouth; "Will you shut up A, we're gonna get yelled at again!" He whispers as I pry his hand off my mouth. "Fine then, its come to this has it?" He places his lips gently on to mine and silences my giggles but I continue to smile through the kiss anyway. He pulls away slowly and runs his thumbs over my cheeks and kisses my forehead lightly as I yawn.
"A, gorgeous, we've got another hour before we need to get up. Go to sleep baby, I'll wake you up in a bit." He pecks my lips again as I nod and place my head onto his chest as he pulls his arms round me softly.
"Night Shawn,"
"Night beautiful,"
