The Making of…
Chapter 32
Revelations...
I met the guys in the car park in the early evening, and Raven turned up soon after. The studio was within walking distance of a bar that the guys had grown quite fond of, so that was where we were headed for the evening. Raven pretty much stuck to me for the first few minutes, but after a while I got her into a conversation with Sean, and I fell back in the group to chat to the others. We were a smaller group than usual; Peter had kidnapped Elijah and Sean to go do some Frodo and Sam night filming, and it appeared that Karl had caught ‘Man-Flu’ from someone on the airplane, and so was dramatically bedridden (I’d left him with a pile of DVD’s and a takeaway menu, so he was probably fine)! So it was just Billy, Dom, Orlando, Sean, Viggo, Raven and I. We reached the bar quickly and Billy, Dom and Orlando instantly scurried off to socialize. The place was pretty much packed with people and we had to fight through the crowd to find a table. I got bumped around by a few people who were jostling to get to the bar and Viggo had to grab my wrist and physically pull me out of the crowd.
“Thanks.” I breathed, sitting down beside him at the table and leaving Sean and Raven to sit opposite us. We talked for a while, and I found out that Raven was living in New Zealand trying to get a job as a journalist, but had somehow ended up interviewing us to gain more experience! As the night went on the bar began to clear of people as they were probably heading to the clubs near the centre of Wellington.
“Do you want to go up and get some drinks?” I asked Raven, nodding towards the bar. She stood and followed me and we perched ourselves on the barstools whilst we waited for our drinks.
“Thanks for inviting me out, this is really fun.” She smiled.
“No problem!” I grinned, “You and Sean seem to be getting along well.” I commented sneakily. I’d noticed that they’d been talking all night, and I was pretty sure that there was something there… Like, 99.9% sure. Raven blushed and smiled a little.
“Yeah, he’s really great.” She mumbled into her drink.
“Aha! I knew it!” I grinned victoriously, “You like him!”
“W-well I… Uh…” She stammered nervously as I bounced on my seat.
“Go on, tell me!” I begged for more information as she smiled a little.
“Well… I guess he’s always, kind of been my favourite actor…” She mumbled, “And when I was interviewing him today he was nicer than I ever could have imagined…” She trailed off as I squealed with delight.
“That is so cute!” I squeaked.
“Ssh! He’ll hear you!” She quickly cast a nervous glance over to where Viggo and Sean were sitting talking. I followed her gaze and Viggo glanced up and I smiled at him, he smiled back before I looked away. “Ok, what was that?” Raven asked.
“Huh?”
“That look between you and Viggo.”
“What look?”
“That look.”
“There wasn’t a ‘look’!” I protested, now blushing.
“There totally was.” She smirked.
“You’re just trying to divert the subject away from you and Sean.” I huffed, folding my arms.
“No I’m not! I just thought I saw something there between you two.” She said as I scowled.
