In Love with Madden

IT'S AN IMMENSE PLEASURE TO FINALLY MEET YOU

This was the moment she would meet Richard Madden.

Ever since she had seen him on her first day on set (and gotten over the initial shock that he would be her co-star in a romance movie), she had been excited to meet him, and speak to him. She didn't want to comment what she thought about the producers' decision, to not let her know who her co-star was before she got on set, and discovered it, herself.

Even though she would also be considered famous now, she still didn't always know how to approach and talk to famous people.

Would they be a huge diva, demand attention at all times, get totally dramatic over the smallest things, and expect everybody to fall at their feet?

Would they be completely down to earth, be the nicest person ever, and act like they've known you forever?

Everly never knew, and she was both terrified and excited to see how Richard Madden behaved. She wasn't sure she could handle playing his love interest, much less be around him all the time, if he behaved like he owned the world.

She couldn't imagine him being anything other than a perfectly mannered gentleman, but she knew better than to just assume someone's personality. Especially if the someone was a famous star.

When she met Richard, though, he was everything she could ever have asked for in a co-star, and more.

As soon as he saw her, he rushed over to her, and introduced himself: "Hi, I'm Richard Madden. It's an immense pleasure to finally meet you."

She tried to take everything in. His smooth accent, his handsome face and slight stubble, the way he held himself, everything.

Everly was slightly overwhelmed, not expecting him to be so nice to her. "I'm Everly Smith, and the pleasure's all mine.", she managed to stutter out. She really hoped she wasn't as flustered as she felt.

"I was ecstatic when I found out I had to star alongside you," Richard said. "I am a huge fan of your work."

Oh, Everly thought. So, he knew about me being his co-star, but I didn't know about him? That's interesting.

She was so caught up in her little discovery, that her mind only then realized what he had said. There was no way she could stop the blush that spread over her cheeks, and she silently marveled at his manners and his charming smile.

Richard was incredibly pleasant, and Everly definitely looked forward to getting to know him better.
