Chapter 6-
Disastrous
"You can't be serious!" She was lying. She had to be lying.
"I'm not Bella. It's here in black and white." I snatched the file out of her hand, desperate to prove that she was wrong. She had to wrong. My eyes ran over the schedule for tomorrow. Angela was right. It was there pure and simple.
Monday 24th June
Sheduled: Drawing scene.
Location: Out building 3
The drawing scene. Basically tomorrow I would have to strip off, laying on a sofa as Edward preteneded to draw me.
I suddenly felt very sick. Not to mention that I was finding it hard to breathe. I dropped onto the sofa in my dressing room.
This couldn't be happening. It was all too soon. How could this be the very first scene we film?
I knew I would have to do this scene eventually. However, I never dreamed it would be so soon. In my head this scene would be more difficult than the sex scene. I groaned rubbing my hand over my face.
"I can't do this."
"You have to do this Bella. You signed up for this." Ange stated.
"I know what I signed on for Ange. However, I never once dreamed that we would be filming this first. I mean will I be completely nude?" My voice pitched as I thought about that possibility.
"Why are you freaking out? You've done nude scenes before." Angela was looking at me in confusion. "Admittedly never in front of someone as hot as Edward Masen."
I didn't say anything but Angela came to her own conclusion.
" Oh! That's the reason isn't? Edward."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Uh huh. Of course you don't."
"What am I going to do Angela?"
"Be grateful that Edward is seriously hot and not a sleezy guy. Imagine that. Some really creepy guy staring at you, while dribbling." Ange said dramatically before shuddering.
"That's not helping." I laughed a little.
"You should be feeling sorry for me. I'm the one that has to see your naked arse again."
"I'm going for a walk." I said standing up and making my way out of the hotel. I had no idea where I was going nor did I care. Soon if found myself walking along a beach. The sand was white, the ocean blue and due to the sunset everything look stunning. I sighed before sitting down on the soft sand.
Angela was trying to make me feel better. In all honesty I felt a tiny bit relaxed, not better, but calm. She was right I guess. Edward was gorgeous and maybe I should be a little grateful for that. He must have seen loads of women strip off.
"Bella?" I knew that voice. I tore my gaze from the sunset and was met with an even better sight. The sculptured chest of Edward Masan, glistening from water. This guy is a walking, talking piece of art. How could one guy be this hot?
"Bella?" I tore my eyes away from his glistening chest, forcing myself to meet his eyes.
"Why is it you always seem to find me when I'm in the middle of a break down?" I smiled as he sat down on the sand next to me.
"I have no Idea." He laughed gently, wiping his face with a towel.
"What you doing out here?" You're such an idiot Bella! Why else would he be soaking wet, standing on a beach?
"I was swimming. Carlisle's su.."
"Suggested taking up swimming sessions to help with filming." I finished his sentence for him. Carlisie was really going to town.
"He got to you to huh?" Edward laughed his voice was like music to my ears. I watched as he pulled on a t-shirt, hiding that amazing chest.
"Yeah. I haven't taken up swimming in the pacific ocean though. Isn't that dangerous? Ain't there great white sharks in there?"
"Yeah I guess but there are sharks in the Mediterranean Ocean. Plus we should never let fear stop us from living." His eyes became intense and I couldn't look away.
"I guess not."
"You should try it sometime." He suggested.
"Yeah maybe I will." I meant it. At least I think I did.
We lapsed into a comfortable silence. Both of us starting at sunset. Eventually Edward broke the silence as his curiosity won out.
"So...you going to tell me why you're out here."
"I came to watch the sunset." He knew I was lying, so he just raised an eyebrow.
"Bella?" He prompted. I sighed, I might as well tell him. Sort of.
"I read the filming schedule for tomorrow."
"Oh." Was all he said. He knew what we would be doing tomorrow.
"Yeah. I'm just really nervous I guess." Yeah nevous about you getting to see me topless.
"Nervous? Why are you so nervous? You've done scenes like this before." Seriously? How many of my films has this guy watched?
"I'm just a little self-conscious." That wasn't a lie. I was self-conscious about removing my clothes in front of a camera.
"Bella you are beautiful." I blushed at his compliment. "You have nothing to worry about. It will be a closed set, with only a small number of the crew, if it helps I'll close my eyes." I couldn't help but smile brightly at him.
"Thanks Edward." I said before a cool breeze caused me to shudder slightly. Edward frowned slightly before standing up and holding out his hand.
"Come on let's get you back to your hotel before you freeze." I took his hand before he pulled me into standing position.
"Everything will be fine." He said, still holding my hand and leading me toward his car.
I all honestly I had never met anyone like this guy before.
XOXOXOXOXOXO
I groaned as I gently massaged my sore muscles. I had really done a number on them this time. I rolled my neck from side to side trying to release some of the strain.
"How was that?" Angela said as I walked out of the changing room.
"It was good. However, I am feeling it now. My whole body is aching." I moaned as Ange and I made our way up to my room.
I took Carlisle's advice and for the last week I was doing morning and evening swimming sessions. I found them relaxing as well as practical. I wasn't the world's strongest swimmer and giving the fact that would soon be attempting to 'swim' in a tank; I needed as much practice as possible. It had been a seriously long week. Inbetween endless rehearsals, costume fittings and etiquette lessons, my body was sore.
"I'm so sore." I whined as the lift doors opened onto our floor.
"Yeah you look beat." Angela said with sympathy in her voice. "Plus the chlorine seems to be making your hair dye run. Rosalie isn't going to be happy."
"Great. Can't wait for that." I moaned coming to stop outside my door. I had spent a week with Rosalie and I had learned that she was not some one to mess with and she hated having to redo something she had already done perfectly.
"Anyway. We have to leave in thirty minutes so make it quick." I nodded at her before closing the door and making a beeline for the bathroom, where I scrubbed away the clorine and more of my hair dye.
I pulled on jeans and a t-shirt. Once again there was no point dressing myself as I wouldn't be keeping them on for long. Literally in a few hours I wouldn't be waering anything. I groaned before leaving the hotel and climbing into the car. I remained silent through the drive to the studio as Angela engaged Steve in conversation, the only thoughts running through my head were ones of anxiety. I was slowly breaking down. I greeted Jess when we arrived before we walked me to my dressing room.
"Bella!?" My attention snapped to Angela
"Huh?"
"Rosalie is expecting you. We need to sort out that hair." Jessica informed me. "Then you have make up then costume. You're due on set at twelve."
"Thanks Jess."
"You really should eat something as well."
"No thanks."
"I'll have a cheese and ham tostie with a large black coffee and a chocolate doughnut if we have any." Angela said to Jess, who was glaring at Angela. I bit my lip to hide my smile.
"Sure whatever." Jessica said before storming out of my dressing room. I just raised an eyebrow at Angela, who was trying that innocent look again.
"What? If you don't want anything then she can help me. I am after all your personal assistant. I need looking after sometimes too. Plus I can't be bothered to walk down to the canteen." She said getting out her laptop.
I laughed releasing a small amount of the anxiety I was feeling. I loved the people around me. Once Jess returned with Angela's food and coffee, we made our way down to the hair department.
XOXOXOXOXO
I flinched as the plastic comb had contact with my head. With extreme force I might add.
"Keep your head still." It wasn't hard to miss the hostility in Rosalie's voice. She yanked my hair into the position she wanted.
"I am trying. But you do know that my hair is attached to my scalp right?"
"If you don't shut up; it won't be for much longer." I smirked at her threat. But kept my head still as she continued to pin and curl my hair into place.
As predicted Rosalie was not happy about having to redo my hair. Not happy was putting it lightly. As a form of punishment she was pulling my hair left, right and centre. I stopped complaining about an hour ago, complaining was only making it worse.
After two hours of pulling and yanking my hair, Rosalie had managed to re-dye and curl my hair.
"It will have to stay down today. For the scene. Naturally the curls will eventually fall out so I'll be on set to reset your hair."
"Great." I whispered. So add Rosalie to the on lookers. Something in my tone caused her to look at me with worry.
"You okay?" She asked gently while applying something to my face.
"Yea just a little nervous."
"It will be fine Bella."
"Thanks Rose." It was lovely that even Rosalie was trying to make me feel comfortable.
"Plus you're hot. Edward is lucky to be getting a look at that rack."
I groaned as soon as the words left her mouth. Tact wasn't Rosalie's strong point.
"You're all done. You better go to Alice. She gets cranky when clients are late. Something about raining on her creative spirit." Rosalie rolled her eyes as I got out of the chair "Don't touch your face or hair. I'll see you on set."
"Yes ma'am." I said saluting at her before walking out of the room.
As soon as I got to the costume department I was jumped by the pixie herself.
"So I got a phone call from Edward last night." She said while walking me towards my costume racks.
"That's nice." Where was she going with this?
"He told me that the two of you had an interesting conversation yesterday. He told me you were really worried about this scene and he wanted to know if there was anything I could I do to relieve some of your worry."
"He called you to ask you to help me?" I asked Alice with shock evident in my voice.
"Yes. He also told me not to tell you that." She added as an after thought.
Edward had rung Alice to ask for more help for me. He was looking out for me once again. I had to admit, I kind of liked it. I just wondered why he was doing it.
"So anyway. I think I found something to help." She pulled out a piece of fabric from a bag on my rack and threw it at me.
"What's this?" I asked examining the fabric.
"Flesh coloured underwear. You have to be topless but we can cover everything else."
"Oh my gosh! Thank you so much Alice!" I shouted pulling her into a hug.
"Don't thank me, thank Edward. Now go get dressed. Or undressed." I grabbed the white rob and walked into changing room.
The underwear was perfect. A complete match to my natural skin colour. I left my bra on before pulling on the robe and slippers.
"I hate polyester." Alice said after I made my reappearance. She scooped my clothes out of hands and put them in Jessica's arms. "You'll have a much nicer dressing gown for the scene. Made by yours truly of course."
"I'm sure it will be amazing Alice." I said my voice betraying some of the hope that I now felt. It was amazing what a pair of flesh colored knickers could do. I actually felt relaxed for the first time today.
"Bella? We need to go to set now." Jess interrupted. I nodded as Alice grabbed a costume bag.
"Let's go then." I said as Jess left the room, Alice and I following.
"You learned your lines?" Alice asked
"I don't have many lines for this scene." My breathing was starting to increase the closer we got to the set.
I can do this! Can't I?
XOXOXOXOXOXO
"Put this on carefully. I only made one of these so we need to be careful." Alice help the gown open for me.
I carefully slipped my arms through the sleeves, and tied the front gently. Alice was right, it was amazing.
"You like it?"
"I have never seen anything like this before."
"It's sheer silk chiffon. The single panel are silk chiffon and decorated with golden beads in paisley shapes." Alice said pride in her voice. I have no idea what she was talking about but smiled none the less.
"It's quite heavy."
"Don't worry you won't have it on long." Rosalie said coming up behind us. "Look at me."
I turned my whole body to look at Rose as she examined my hair and make up.
"Perfect."
"Can we close the set please?" Someone shouted out.
"Oh gosh!" I squealed out.
"Hey calm down okay. Everything is going to be fine." Rose said squeezing my shoulder for support.
"We'll be directly outside if you need us." Alice said before kissing my cheek and pulling Rosalie off set.
"Good luck." Angela said before walking away as Carlisle approached me.
"Hey Bells. How you doing?"
"Nervous." I admitted.
"You'll be fine. Alright Bella we're going to start with the drop. So you going to walk out of the room. Sway the robe a little, play, then slowly take it off."
"Great." I wheezed out before walking to my mark.
"Ready on set." Carlisle called from his position behind the camera. Everyone automatically took their places. I watched as Edward took his position. He smiled at me trying to reassure me. However, I sensed he might be a little nervous himself.
Never mind about that now I needed to get into character.
"And action."
I froze. Completely froze, my brain was unable to process anything. I couldn't force my body or my voice to do anything. I just stood there gripping the robe like it was my life line. There was nothing but silence. No movement or anything.
"Cut." Finally the words I needed to hear. "Bella, focus."
"Sorry."
"Let's go again. Ready on set."
I glanced at Edward who was looking at me. He mouthed 'You ok'. I just shook my head and took my mark.
"Action."
Four times! Four times I completely froze up. This had never happened to me before so for it to happen three times was just embarrassing. On the fourth take I managed to sway my robes around about before I could get any further I tripped on the bottom of the gown. Sixth take I forgot my lines. I hadn't even managed to get to the part where I was meant to take the robe off. All the time all I could think about was Edward. I was avoiding his gaze but I knew he was watchimg me. That was my problem. I could stop thinking about the fact that he was watching me and I was meant to strip.
"Action!" I could hear the irritation in Carlisle's voice
I stepped out the room and looked directly Edward. My hand gently holding the robes together. I lifted my arm allow the camera to get a look at the weird butterfly things Alice had created before swinging the belt around.
"The last thing I need another picture of me looking like a china doll. As a paying customer, I expected to get what I want." I gently threw a dim at Edward who caught it. I stepped back onto my mark. I lift my hands to part the gown and...froze.
"Cut!" Carlisle got out his chair and walked to stand in front of me. His eyes were wide and stormy "Bella what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry I just..."
"You just what? This is stupid! Whatever is going on with you sort it out!" I was shocked by the fact he was shouting. I could feel tears burning in my eyes. I tried to push them away. The last thing I needed to do was cry. From the corner of my eye I saw Edawrd walk to over and stand next us.
"Leave her Carlisle. She's clearly tired and scared." Edward spoke with authority but quietly so only Carlisle and I could hear. Carlisie took a deep breath trying to calm down. When he opened his eyes the storm had calmed
"Go home Bella!"
"Sorry?" Please no.
"Just go home. We'll see you tomorrow." Carlisle said in a low, angry voice before walking out off the set.
The tears that were brewing finally fell from my eyes. I didn't need to be told again. I ran from the set.
"Bella?" I heard Edward call as he ran after me.
I ignored him and ran faster. I got to my dressing room and I locked the door before taking off the dressing gown. I was so stupid to think I could do this! I threw the dressing gown across the room in frustration. I'm such an idiot. I unlocked the door before running down to the car. The tears still refusing to stop falling.
Why did I sign up for this? I was so sure I could do this but clearly I couldn't. This could be the end of my career. Nobody would want to work with me when this got out. That revelation brought on a stronger wave of tears. When I got to the hotel I climbed straight into bed, pulling the duvet over me and cried myself to sleep.

A/N: None of the story will be based on Titanic. I needed a film that would have been difficult to film. However, I am not using the storyline. Just the filming ideas and the title of the film.
Please review! All reviews help to encourage me to write more.
