A once in a lifetime opportunity sends a girl into a world so vibrant and bright. Elton John's world. Her uncles crazy world, filled with ups and downs. An assistant on the up and coming movie, Rocketman, is unlike anything she's done. Wonderful mus...
"Aaaaaand.... action!" I grinned from ear to ear from hearing those words, still not able to wrap my head around the fact that I'm even here to begin with. It's a complete dream come true. And watching Taron in action? Is unbelievable. He's so incredibly talented. He just goes all into his roles, making them so utterly amazing to watch.
"Don't forget that you have studio time with Taron soon. He's recording some more music." Meredith smiled down at me from the look on my face, seeing just how excited I was for all of this. I'm used to recording studios. Obviously. But to hear Taron sing? Will be unbelievable. His voice is amazing.
"Pinch me." She eyed me with humor, chuckling slightly. But didn't hesitate to actually pinch me, giving me the notion that this was all very real from the slight pain I felt.
"It's real darling. All of it. And you? Are at the center of a masterpiece. Just you wait and see." She patted my back with her confidence coming out in waves, transferring over to me a bit it would seem. The world is surely going to love this film. Just from reading the script, I fell head over heels in love with it. And learned so much about my uncle that he's really never talked about with me.
"It's just like being in wonderland. I fell down this rabbit hole and never want to leave it." She grinned from ear to ear, before leaving to tend to other things she needed to get done for upcoming scenes. Today, they were filming the scene where Taron sings Your Song, my favorite song by my uncle. It's just so beautiful. The lyrics are amazing. Just like the man that wrote them. Bernie Taupin. My other uncle, as I like to think of him. Him and my uncle are the best team around to be honest. The iconic duo.
"Katie? Would you mind going over and checking up on the set? Just to make sure everything is in place." I practically jumped in excitement from the mere question, walking over to the piano so perfectly placed on the set of my uncles childhood home, just imagining him actually sitting there back when, producing the hits he has to his name today.
"It's mental isn't it?" I jumped a little from the sudden voice of Taron, looking up to see what he was wearing. And I swear my cheeks went tomato red. A robe.... in his underwear..... showing pretty much everything. And those glasses. The hair. He just looked so cute.
"Those undies are mental. Look at you." I couldn't contain my smile any longer. He's walking around like it's a normal day. While I'm over here going nuts from the sight of him. In a good way. Of course.
"You like it love?" He grinned, that toothy grin of his that always seems to ease me on everything. Just being around him makes me feel so different. Like I belong. Like I can do anything.
"Maaaaaybe...." I winked at him, catching him off guard from my sudden boldness. I'm usually so shy. But he seems to be bringing me out of my shell.
"Come sit with me." He softly sat on the piano bench, preparing to film the musical number for Your Song, causally running his fingers over the keys in the way he was taught to, to make it look so much more real for the actual film. Taron just looked like he belonged at the piano. He belonged in my uncles world.
"I don't want to get in the way." I smiled a little at him, seeing everyone getting prepared for the scene. Bryce Dallas Howard was seated in the kitchen area, smiling with Gemma Jones as they talked. And Jamie was on the upstairs portion, looking down at us with a grin on his lips. Like he was thinking god knows what. We've hit it off really well. He's like having a brother.
"I'm just going over the scene love. You're completely fine. Come on." He patted the spot next to him with that handsome smile on his face with his green eyes boring into mine, making it hard to say no. Not that I wanted to anyway. He's charmed me already.
"You know, you're about to film my favorite song by my uncle. I absolutely adore it." He grinned a little, looking at me still. It felt like we were the only two in the room. Well, the set.
"Good to know." He sent me a secret look, making me narrow my eyes. I don't know what he's about to do. But I feel like I'm going to turn into a tomato again.
"Tar..." But before I could finish my sentence, he started to sing, his voice just stopping me dead in my tracks. It was the sweetest sound. And the smile he gave the whole time, just so full of passion for this. I was completely lured in with each word.
"My gift is my song, aaaand, this ones for you..." I couldn't stop smiling with each passing moment. And before I knew it, we were both singing together, getting lost in the beautiful lyrics, staring at one another the whole time.

"And you can tell everybody, this is your song." The way he looked at me, had me smiling like a complete goofball. Like he really was singing every word to me, yet knowing it was just practice. I'm his assistant for crying out loud! I'm supposed to help with anything. I can't be thinking more than it is. Right?
"I hope you don't mind, that I put down into words, how wonderful life is... while you're in the world." I sang every word with Taron, our smiles never wavering as the song came to an end, not realizing that everyone was staring at us in awe. Like we just did something magical.
"Wow..." I breathed out after the last words, my heart was racing so fast. And my eyes couldn't look away from Taron's. It felt like something just happened. An electric feeling.
"Double wow! That was bloody amazing! You two harmonized perfectly." We looked up at Jamie, when I noticed everyone was looking at us with these amazed looks on their faces. I had completely forgotten everyone was even here. It was like Taron and I were alone. That was the first time I had ever sang in front of people, other than my family.
"You have a beautiful voice Katie. Why didn't you tell me you sing?" I grinned from Taron's comment, before I couldn't contain myself anymore. I hugged him. I hugged him so tightly from all the emotions coursing through me.
"Because normally I don't sing in front of anyone. I'm usually so scared to. Until I met you Taron Egerton." He hugged me back just as tightly from my words, when I saw Jamie giving me all kinds of thumbs up and winks, making me cover a laugh. What a magical moment.
