Sweet Talker || Taylor Hawkins Fanfiction ||

Chapter 11 - Season of the Witch

Tessa was staring at her reflection in the mirror, adjusting the finishing touches of her outfit, the fake blood perfectly applied, the cut so well done, just like an fx artist, the outfit that she put together all by herself. She felt proud as she put two more drops of fake blood on her nose. She fixed the needle on her chest, touching it very gently to not tear the fake skin holding it.

She remembered the scene of the movie she was portraying, Uma Thruman playing dead, overdosed, on the floor as John Travolta shoved an adrenaline needle on her chest, having a strong grip to get through the silicone, hoping Mia Wallace would come back to life and she did, yelling and scaring everyone around. Tessa couldn't help to smile, she loved the damn movie, she knew it was a "cult cliche" but she truly worshiped Tarantino'a script. She thought about the scene where John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson talked about burgers, soon it filled her chest with the memory of Taylor and how he could turn a simple talk about something ordinary into the biggest, greatest, funniest conversation. Just like Jules and Vincent over a burger.

She suddenly missed him, she missed him bad, even though they just saw each other, and she felt weird, the chemistry between them was too powerful, contagious, they just filled each other so well, she couldn't believe it was even real.

For a moment Tessa thought she was under dressed, she knew it was a big party but there was no way she had enough money to put on a complex outfit. Anyway, Tessa loved pulp fiction so she was more than happy to be Mia.

Taylor was going to pick her up, as usual, but he had to go trick or treating with his kids. It was cute, him being a good dad, carrying for his kids, trying to be more present. The image came up on her mind, him with the kids all dressed up as something spooky, she couldn't really set her mind in one specific costume, but just the thought of it was pretty cute.

The phone buzzed and Tessa suddenly felt anxious, thinking it was Tay. She picked it up, taking a look at the screen, it was a cute photo of Dave, Jordyn and the kids with the costumes Tessa made out of scratch. She opened a big smile, proud of her work.
